One Phone Call That Raised A Question #truecrime #truecrimestories #crimejunkies | Forensic Files

Her ask is simple when she calls the ADA. "Will you at least take a look and help me, please?" This woman is calling
from the next county over hoping that someone in the DA's office in Boston can give her the help that she isn't getting
on her sister's case. And her sister is Marie Iannuzzi. She was murdered about 3
[music] years before Joan, but her case has never been solved. And listen, she doesn't even know if she's calling the
right guy, but someone suggested to her like she just try. And her ask is simple
when she calls the ADA. "Will you at least take a look and help me, please?" So,
even though it's kind of a side quest, the ADA does a preliminary look into Marie. And so, he has the lead detective
in her case walk him through some of the basics. And as they did, both of them were struck by one aspect of the
investigation. Marie's body was found in that same [music] marshy area where Joan's things were dumped. And I don't
know if it was just that one detail or if they got further in, but pretty quickly ADA Burke has kind of married
this random case that he got a call about to the white whale case that he is already working. Maybe they're
connected. [music] And from that point on, that becomes almost like fact.

Desperate for answers, Marie Iannuzzi’s sister called a Boston ADA and asked him to simply “take a look” at her unsolved case.

When he realized Marie’s body had been found in the same marsh where Joan Webster’s belongings were later discovered, he began to wonder if the two cases were connected.
