Did Milagros Nieves Open the Door to Her Killer?

On September 22, 1993, 49-year-old Milagros Nieves was found murdered inside her apartment on Iranistan Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Her 18-month-old granddaughter was still alive inside the apartment. Milagros was not. More than 30 years later, investigators believe someone still knows exactly what happened that morning. This episode of The Deck revisits a brutal unsolved homicide that left a family shattered and a community searching for answers. You’ll learn, what happened inside Apartment A7 on September 22, 1993, the disturbing crime scene that first responding officers never forgot, the evidence suggesting Milagros may have known the person who entered her home, the prison confession that later surfaced and raised new questions, and the family revelations that emerged during our investigation in 2026. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered contradictory statements about Milagros’ final hours, new information involving people closest to her, questions about relationships that were never fully explored, and leads that continue to shape the investigation decades later. For years, many people believed this case had been solved. It wasn’t. And today, Detective Jeffrey Holtz and the Bridgeport Police Department are still actively searching for answers.
