The Questions Surrounding Blanca Acevedo

On June 27, 2010, firefighters responded to a blaze at Nu Way Realty on West Orangewood Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. Inside the burning office, they found Blanca Acevedo, a 50-year-old real estate agent. At first, investigators believed she may have died in the fire. They were wrong. This episode of The Deck investigates a brutal cold case that has puzzled detectives for more than 15 years and the overlooked clues that may have been sitting in plain sight from the very beginning. It explores Blanca Acevedo’s final known movements on June 27, 2010, the lunch meeting she had hours before her death, the suspicious fire set inside the real estate office after the attack, the handwritten letter discovered on Blanca’s bedside table days later, and the people investigators now believe deserved a much closer look. As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered evidence of a violent, personal attack, contradictory witness statements and timelines, reports of prior threats made against Blanca, unanswered questions surrounding relationships in her personal and professional life, and investigative leads that were never fully pursued. More than a decade later no one has been arrested, the case remains open, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible for Blanca’s murder. So, if you know something about the murder of Blanca Acevedo, now is the time to act. If you have information around the death of Blanca Acevedo, you can call 480 WITNESS to leave an anonymous tip.
