About this listen
In 2004, a Phoenix storage unit was auctioned off after its renter died. Among the dusty furniture and boxes was a heavy, locked suitcase. Inside were folded shirts, photographs of a young woman, and a driver’s license belonging to Patricia Klein — who had vanished in 1986.
The suitcase also held a note: “I’m sorry. I wanted to keep her safe. I failed.” Police linked it to Mark Ellis, a truck driver once questioned in Patricia’s disappearance. He had lived quietly until his death, never facing justice.
Patricia’s body was never found, but the suitcase told her story: she hadn’t run away. She had been taken. And the truth was left to gather dust until someone pried it open.
