Esther “Lizette” Galaz and Karen Grajeda

We are going to step back to the mid 1990s in Tucson, Arizona, to examine two cases that have haunted the city’s south side for three decades. In December 1994, 6-year-old Lizette went missing from her apartment complex. About 13 months later, 7-year-old Karen Grajeda went missing from her apartment complex just 8 miles away. On the surface, these might seem like isolated incidents, but as local investigators and the FBI began to look deeper, they discovered a disturbing pattern, and they were soon linked to three additional abductions of young girls in the same area between 1993 and 1994. Anyone with information in either of these cases is asked to call the Tucson Police Department at 520-791-4444. There is a $20,000 reward being offered in each case.
