Judy Martins: The Conclusion w/ Nic from True Crime Garage

The local media covered Amy’s disappearance as if it was one of their own that had been abducted. The Mihaljevic’s were a quiet family and were liked by their neighbors. The idea that this family, or any family for that matter, would be thrust into the media spotlight over their missing child is unimaginable. The first two days for the Mihaljevic family probably seemed liked they would never end. When I was meeting with Mark Mihaljevic I asked him about that weekend and what, if anything, he would have done differently. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

That first night for the Mihaljevic family must have been horrific. The fact that Amy had yet to contact the family and there was no sign of her anywhere helped confirm the fact this was no ordinary missing girl. The thing is, that October 27, 1989 was just like any other day in northeast Ohio up until those first reports of a missing girl from Bay Village hit the news around 10 o’clock. The city and the citizens felt like they had been punched in the gut, how could one of their own be taken right out from under the noses of the public, across from the police station nonetheless? As the days progressed new information was being released regularly with the most important being that of this phone caller who had potentially lured Amy to the plaza that Friday afternoon. The information about this phone caller was given by two of Amy’s friends who had been told of the plan on the day of the meeting. In speaking with Chief Spaetzel these kids were able to provide a few very significant details, one of the most important being, that Amy was told she had $45 to spend and if there was any money left over she could also get a gift.

My name is Bill Huffman and I am an independent journalist. I have spent the past nine months taking a deep dive in the abduction and murder of 10 year-old Amy Mihaljevic from Bay Village, Ohio on October 27th, 1989. I was the same age as Amy when she was abducted and I lived in the neighboring city of Rocky River so it feels like this case has been around my whole life.I am searching for answers to a mystery that has baffled investigators and the community because this abductor didn’t just pick Amy off the street; he called her on the phone and arranged a meeting with her abductor. This case has been a focal point in a city where crime doesn’t happen often but when it does it makes sure to become a national story, case in point, the Sam Shepherd case that spawned movies and television shows. This city of less than 20,000 people has a knack for finding itself in the middle of these unsolved mysteries. This podcast is here to set the story straight and hopefully find answers to the mystery that has gripped this community and Amy’s family for nearly 30 years. Learn more about your ad choices.
