Voices Redacted

In 1993, five-year-old Alie Berrelez disappeared just steps from her Englewood, Colorado home. What followed was one of the largest child abduction searches in the state’s history, one that ended in heartbreak, suspicion, and silence. For years, her case remained cold. Her family waited. The community mourned. And the man suspected of her murder died without ever being charged. Nearly two decades later, a forgotten piece of evidence would speak, and confirm what bloodhounds had sensed from the beginning. In this episode of Voices Redacted, Kayleigh explores the quiet tragedy and long fight for justice behind a case that never made national headlines, but never left the hearts of those who loved her.
