Help Bring ATTENTION to Her Case #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

I want to end by saying that I cannot give any explanation for why the police seemingly did so little work on Laura's
case, but I can say that in the cases of Rachel Hansen and Nick Cordova, both stories that we've recently covered on
this show that are also out of Gilbert PD, pressure from the media did get them to
release additional records, and both of those cases reportedly remain active to this day. So, this is where we need the
help of our Crime Junkies. You guys, it is time to break the 12-year silence on Laura Sweetman's case.
One glance at her memorial Facebook page and it's clear to see the starring role
that she played in so many people's lives, especially the children that she saw in her practice who lost their
dedicated doctor. She never let any of the stressors in her life keep her from enjoying it.
>> [music] >> In fact, her presence was so bright and so positive that her loved ones decided
to wear colorful clothes to her funeral instead of black because they said that's what Laura would have wanted. So,
please, take to social media, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your local news people. Let's get people
talking about Laura Sweetman. And let's get the Gilbert Police Department to take notice.

More than a decade later, Laura Sweetman’s case remains unresolved.

In other cases out of Gilbert, Arizona, public and media attention has led to new records being released and investigations continuing. But Laura’s case has remained quiet.

Those who knew her remember a dedicated doctor and a bright presence in her community.

Now, there’s a call to bring attention back to her story.
