Our card this week is Melissa Mason and Nicole Glass, the six of hearts from Arizona. Life was good for the 27-year-old best friends and roommates who had big plans on the horizon. Until one day in the winter of 2010, when someone went into their suburban Phoenix home and committed a heinous crime, one that's left their loved ones and police perplexed for over a decade. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck. It was December 3, 2010, about 7.30 a.m. when Melissa Massey called her friend Nicole Glass to try and make plans for later that day. But the call went straight to voicemail, which surprised Melissa because Nicole's phone was never off.

The two talked on the phone multiple times a day. In the year they'd become friends, Nicole was always someone she could reach with just a phone call or a day. In the year they'd become friends, Nicole was always someone she could reach with just a phone call or a text, but it was before 8 a.m., so she thought maybe Nicole was sleeping in. So Melissa headed to her gym and decided she'd just make the 30-minute drive to East Phoenix to check on Nicole after her workout. But in the meantime, she also tried Nicole's roommate, Melissa Mason, but everyone called her, BB. But BB's phone also seemed to be off because it too went straight to voicemail. When Melissa pulled up to the house around noon, she noticed that both women's cars were parked in the driveway.

Nicole had given her a key to the single-floor ranch-style home so Melissa tried to let herself in by unlocking the deadbolt. Except the door wouldn't open. It seemed like the smaller lock on the doorknob itself was in the locked position, which was never the case. In fact, Melissa with Pretty Shrinkold didn't even have a key to the smaller lock. Phoenix cold case detective Dom Rostinberg said that's when Melissa's concern for her friends started to grow.

I wouldn't say she was panicked at that point, but she was a little concerned. So she started walking around the house and she looked through a window and she just saw what appeared to be one of her friends lying on the floor. Because of the angle of where she was peering through a window, Melissa could only see an arm on the floor near the couch. But still, she knew this was bad. Melissa waited for police in the coldest sack out front, and when police arrived, one of them kicked in the front door to get inside.

When police walked through the house, it was BB they found first. She was face down in the dining room. Her shirt pulled up from the back toward her head, and some blood had started to pull beneath her. Then they found Nicole, who was face down in the adjoining family room. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene, and based on the looks of things, it was pretty clear they'd been murdered. Police quickly checked every room to make sure the killer wasn't still inside, and once they'd cleared the house and the backyard, they roped the whole property off with crime

scene tape while simultaneously applying for a search warrant. While they waited to go back in the house, police set up a mobile command unit in front of the home, and quickly pulled their first witness Melissa in for an interview. Melissa was overcome with emotion when she learned that both women were dead and what she told police only compounded the tragedy. BB had been pregnant which changed the case for Detective Rostenberg. So from under the law in Maricopa County the fact that she was a pregnant it becomes a triple homicide so that's what we're investigating here, a triple homicide. Now Melissa didn't know BB well.

She was much closer with Nicole. Beyond the fact that she was pregnant, all she could give police about BB was the first name of the baby's father, Marquis. And she knew that he drove a maroon Chrysler with quote unquote, fancy wheels. As for Nicole, Melissa told police that the last time she talked to her was the night before over the phone. Nicole said that she was waiting on a ride to a gig that she'd gotten bar-tending a private party, but she didn't say who was giving her a ride or where the job was.

Melissa said that she didn't talk the rest of the night, but when she woke up on December 3rd, she had missed a text Nicole had sent the night before it around 1115. The text said, quote, nobody has showed up to get us or called, and I'm going to be hot if nobody shows. I got ready for nothing. Boo. End quote. In the rest of her hour and a half long interview with the detective, Melissa let police

search her car and she gave them names of several other people that they were eager to interview. And then, almost like clockwork, a man in a car with what one could consider fancy wheels showed up, and he wanted to know what the heck police were doing at his girlfriend's house. It was Marquis. According to police reports obtained by our reporting team,

when Marquis showed up at the crime scene, police immediately pulled him into the mobile command unit for an interview. By the way, this was between 6 and 7 pm and homicide detectives were still waiting on a judge to sign their search warrant, which was taking a lot longer than usual. So in the beginning of their interview, with Marquis, detectives asked him what he thought of the police presence at his girlfriend's house. And Marquis asked if it had something to do with quote, last night. Marquis explained that he'd been at the house

with Nicole and BB when Nicole got the call about the bartending gig, and he found the call kind of suspicious. He said Nicole convinced BB to go with her because the employer was sending a limo to pick them up, and they would make like $400 before tips. Marquis said that BB agreed to go, which was his cue to leave. But before leaving, BB had gotten upset with him, questioning him about seeing his ex-girlfriend, and he said that it resulted in kind of a low-key argument, but nothing major, and everything

was pretty much fine between them when he left the house around 8pm. From there, he went out to some clubs and said he didn't hear from BB again until she had called him around 10.30, but he missed the call. BB also texted him, asking if Marquis had talked to his ex-girlfriend after he left earlier, but he didn't respond to that. Marquis said that a little after midnight he tried to call her back, but this time she didn't answer. According to what he told police, the calls went straight to voicemail.

And five calls later, at 207 AM, Marquis texted BB to inform her that he tried calling her, but she never responded. And Marquis said that's about when he left the clubs and went home. When he still hadn't heard from her all day the next day, he decided to just drive over, and that's what brought him here now. A detective asked Marquis if BB had any tattoos, knowing that they'd seen a big one on one of the women's backs when they first discovered the bodies, and Marquis confirmed BB had a cross tattoo across her back. Realizing it was her, Marquis became emotional.

Up until then, he hadn't known for sure that BB was in fact one of the victims, but now police were officially telling him that his girlfriend and their unborn child were dead. Marquis admitted that the baby he was expecting with BB was a surprise, but they were both committed to having the child, even though she was just eight weeks along. But Marquis also admitted that he had been seeing other women until he found out BB was pregnant,

and ever since then the two had been monogamous. When asked if he had any idea who would want Nicole or BB dead, Marquis said it couldn't have anything to do with BB, because she was quote, the sweetest thing ever. He said she had no enemies, and so to him, whoever killed them had to have been after Nicole, who he thought kept some shady company. Marquis agreed to give police his DNA so they swobbed his cheek right then in there. He didn't have BB's family members phone numbers, so instead he left the scene and drove directly to Tucson

to notify her mother of her death. In a police report, the detective wrote that Marquis was still very emotional when he left the scene. Finally, at 10 o'clock that night, this is 10 hours after their bodies were first discovered, an officer returned with the judges signed warrant. It's worth mentioning here that 10 hours isn an unusually long time for a homicide detective to get a warrant, because medical examiners and crime scene-tex have to wait to get access to a murder scene.

In most cases, investigators take control of a scene within an hour, but Phoenix PD didn't offer any explanation for what took so long in this case. Anyway, with a search warrant in hand, the forensic part of the investigation finally got underway. The inside of the house didn't present any obvious clues about what had happened to the women. The TV in the living room was still on. No rooms appeared to have been ransacked,

and there were no signs of forced entry or a struggle. Outside, the usually quiet cul-de-sac had become chaotic. TV news crews had started to show up and began doing live reports from the street, while officers went door to door to interview neighbors. By talking to one neighbor, police learned that Nicole had moved into her house in 2006, and that she and BB liked to host parties that usually went late into the night. But none of the neighbors reported seeing or hearing anything unusual in the last couple of days.

Another neighbor told police that the day before, on December 2nd, she observed something a little out of the usual that kind of stood out. Contractors were lugging extension cords and buckets to and from the house, sometime between 3 and 4 pm. That actually made sense, though, because Melissa had also told detectives that Nicole was having the floors in the house refinished and had hired a crew to get the two or three-day job done. While detectives worked to track down the names of the men who'd worked on the floors, about

35 miles east of Phoenix in Apache Junction, Nicole Glass' mother Rachel Glass had just gotten home from work when a friend called and urged her to turn on the local news immediately. When Rachel tuned into the news broadcast, she was lost for words. I was like, oh my gosh, I turned it on and there it was. Their house, they said, two 27-year-old women were dead inside the house. They didn't see a sign of forced entry. Of course, they didn't say their names, but it's Nicole's car's first, Melissa's car's second. It's Nicole's house, they're both 27.

Oh my God. You know, that was really very destructive, very destructive to myself and my family. While she drove the roughly 40 minutes to Nicole's house with her husband, Rachel called the police department to confirm what she knew in her gut to be true. But the dispatcher wouldn't confirm anything over the phone. As she pulled up to her daughter's house, which was now clearly an act of crime scene, the site of yellow tape and police cruisers confirmed her worst fears. When she told officers working in the scene who she was, they couldn't tell

her much. It was late and Rachel was in the dark as to what had happened inside her daughter's home, so she and her husband left and booked a hotel room just down the street. She wanted to be nearby when police had more information to share. So she went to bed that night, but she said she barely slept. And then around 3am, she said police called with official word that her daughter was dead. Then I needed to find a funeral home. How I was so glad I would be planning a wedding not a funeral, you know? Because she was that age where I kept thinking

she's gonna find somebody, she's gonna get married, but it didn't happen. Phoenix police publicly identified Nicole and BB on Saturday, December 4. In a short news brief buried in the Sunday edition of the Arizona Republic, the story painted a picture of a community unsure of how to process the murders. The story noted that later that weekend, Nicole and BB's neighbors were in the cul-de-sac, hanging up holiday decorations, and talking openly about how shocking it was to have had

a triple murder happen merely feet from their own homes. The next few days were important ones for the investigation. The police worked to interview anyone who knew Nicole and BB and they finished processing the scene and worked to get phone records. Through interviews, they learned more about each of the women. The friends told police that Nicole and BB had met a few years earlier working as bartenders and had pretty big social circles. But that much had already become apparent to police because it seemed like every person

they interviewed gave them the names of more friends to track down. Detectives also learned from their friends that beyond their bartending jobs, which paid the bills, BB had her sights set on becoming a dental hygienist while Nicole was going to school and was a third-year student working toward a degree in communications. Police also learned that aside from the well-attended parties, their house was just a place where people were comfortable

and liked to spend time. Here's Detective Rostinberg again. We learned that they were loved by many. They had a lot of friends. They were gregarious. They were outgoing. Everyone that we interviewed about the girls had nothing but good things to say about what kind

caring people they would let. They would go out of their way to help others. They would let people stay at the house. So we're having financial problems or issues or whatever. They were just good friends and they were good people. Interviews with the women's friends were helpful in learning about the women's lifestyles, Andrew Teens, but the interviews weren't revealing any obvious reasons why anyone would want them dead. But later that same day after their names had been announced to the public,

a man named Jose called the Phoenix Police Department's violent crimes bureau and said that he was good friends with the women, and that he had been at their house the day before they were killed. And he had some information that he thought might be helpful to detectives. They couldn't arrange a meeting with him for a few days, so in the meantime, they went to try and get surveillance video from a few different places trying to see if there were any cameras that had an angle of the alley behind the women's house, and they even checked a few nearby intersections, but every time they struck out.

It was later that week when police finally met up with Jose at his house. And this was his story. He said that on December 2nd, he went to visit Nicole and BB, which was normal. He said they were all friends and hung out often. Jose said both women were home along with a guy named Johnny who was working to refinish the floors. Jose said when he first got there, Nicole was up and about cleaning the house while BB was lounging on the couch because she wasn't feeling very good. He thought BB had complained about maybe suffering

from morning sickness. So here's where things get interesting. Jose told detectives that upon his arrival, Nicole asked him to take out the garbage. Nicole told Jose that he would have to walk around the block to get to the alley to take the trash out because the key to her backyard gate was missing. Jose jokingly was like, no way am I walking all the way around the block just to take out your trash. And so Nicole was like, okay fine, well then could you just make yourself actually useful and remove the lock to the back gate so we can at least use it? So Jose agreed to remove the lock later in the day.

He told police that he hung out for about an hour, and at some point during that time, two more workers showed up to help Johnny with the floors, though he didn't really have any interaction with any of them. Eventually, the two women told him that they had to leave for what he called a girl doctor appointment, and they invited him to tag along, but he declined, saying that he's gonna wait

at their house with the workers, and then get to work, removing that lock on the back gate. It took him about an hour to remove the screws, and eventually, he broke the lock off the gate with a hammer. Jose said that he placed the lock on the kitchen counter so Nicole would see it when she got home. He tried to hang around a little longer, even tried calling the two women after they'd been gone a while, but neither of them answered. So he said that he left and went to a different friend's house to hang out the rest of the

day before going home that night. Now Jose's comment about the lock immediately made police wonder if Nicole and BB's killer or killers entered and exited through the unlocked gate from the alley and backyard. Or maybe the killer or killers had the missing key to the gate, intending to use it not knowing the lock quads were moved. Jose told investigators that he didn't remember Nicole saying where she thought the missing key might be or if she knew who had it. He insisted that he didn't have any contact with the women after he left their place on

December 2nd, and the next day his brother called him to let him know that the women had been murdered. But what Jose did have was a business card for Johnny, the worker who'd been refinishing the floors at Nicole's house, and in an effort to fully cooperate Jose also provided his DNA to police. The next day, detectives located Johnny and interviewed him. According to police reports, Johnny told police that Nicole had found his floor polishing business online back in the fall.

He provided her an estimate in October and the work started December 1. He said they were there the full day and then came back on the second at 8am. When they arrived, BB was home alone. Johnny told detectives that during the few days that he and his crew were there, he noticed that Nicole came and went pretty often with several different visitors. But she always said that she was going to Walmart, though she never returned with any bags. Johnny also described several different people all in different cars arriving and leaving at various times during the duration of his work.

And listen, I know how this sounds, but police couldn't say who these people were or what business Nicole had with so many visitors. Investigators definitely know more than they're sharing, but we kind of have to accept that they probably have a good reason for not wanting the public to know this kind of information. Johnny told police that he was supposed to finish the job at Nicole's house on the morning of the third, but that another job in Glendale was going to prevent them from showing up on time, so he left Nicole the message saying that they'd be over some time the next day on the fourth to make up for it. But he never heard back.

Despite leaving her several voice mails, Johnny said Nicole didn't answer and never returned his calls. So the workers showed up around noon on Saturday anyway, prepared to work, but when they arrived, police and reporters were still all over the place. Johnny said the officers wouldn't let his workers approach the home.

When detectives asked Johnny, what else he noticed when spending time at Nicole's house, he said it seemed like the women were very trusting because they would always leave the door unlocked when they weren't there. And they felt fine with Johnny and his crew being there even when they weren't. Like everyone before him, Johnny agreed to give police a DNA sample, and detectives went on to interview Johnny's workers, who also happened to be his siblings. In separate interviews, Johnny's brother and sister gave similar statements as Johnny, and they also agreed to provide DNA. It was around this time that the medical examiner finally

concluded that both Nicole and BB were strangled, and the office confirmed that their manners of death were homicide. The Emmy also confirmed BB's pregnancy. Both women had defensive wounds, which suggested that there was a struggle leading up to their deaths. Detective Rosston Berg said that while there was no evidence the women were sexually assaulted, that doesn't mean it didn't occur, though he wouldn't say anything more about that. But I kind of have to assume that they were able to collect

some sort of biological evidence to test against all the swabs that they were collecting from witnesses. The Emmy's ruling made police ponder more possibilities because Nicole and BB were young, healthy, and fit. Investigators had to figure out if the killer somehow detained one of the women while he killed the other or if there were multiple killers working in tandem. Now that the community knew the women's names and how brutal their murders were, news coverage picked up again. On December 13, 2010, barely two weeks after BB and Nicole were killed, BB's mother Sandra Mignarez, who lives in Tucson, told reporters, quote, not only did they take my daughter's life, but they also took my unborn grandbaby.

And that would have been the first, end quote. What made her statement even more heartbreaking, according to reports by the Associated Press at the time, was that baby's mother was holding her daughter's positive pregnancy test as she spoke to reporters. Police had found the positive test at the house inside a plastic baggy with Merry Christmas scrolled in black marker.

I know when Alyssa found out she was pregnant, she was really excited about the pregnancy, and I know they were looking forward to having the child. And Melissa was looking forward to telling her parents around Christmas time that she was pregnant. So it's horrible all the way around. The renewed publicity garnered a few more tips for police. And on December 14th, a woman called in and said detectives should interview BB's ex-boyfriend.

The caller said that the two had dated earlier in 2010 and that he'd previously stalked her and threatened to kill her, and that if he'd known BB was pregnant with another man's child, it may have set him off. Tracking down BB's ex wasn't easy, but police finally arranged to interview him in early 2011. The man, who we're gonna call Frank, said he and BB were engaged to be married, but eventually they went their separate ways. But before they broke up, they lived with Nicole for a little while.

And Frank said that he never liked how many men were hanging around. He said they would come and go, and it made him uncomfortable. Frank said that after they split, he and BB stayed friends, but he had no idea that she was pregnant with Marquis's baby until after BB's death. Frank admitted to police that he wasn't happy to hear that because BB hadn't been dating Marquis very long, and in his opinion it was too soon for them to start a family together. But Frank denied having ever threatened BB, and he denied having anything to do with the women's murders. When asked what he thought happened to them, he basically told police the same thing Marquise did. Nicole must have been the target, not BB. Frank also agreed

to provide his DNA, and he gave detectives the names of a few more men that they should interview. Detectives worked over the next several weeks to interview the friends of the women, and every time they interviewed someone they collected their DNA and were given more and more names of additional people to talk to. It's almost like the women had a never-ending list of friends, mainly through their work in the Phoenix area service industry. I can tell you, several people were interviewed as far as that previously dated both Melissa and Nicole. We're continuing to look at these people, but as of this time, we have no probable cause

to believe that there's a rest as imminent with any of these people. None of the interviews provided a clear suspect or motive. Police were pretty certain it wasn't a robbery that resulted in the women being killed. They figured it had to be more personal than that. Not long after that, the case went cold. In 2016, four years after the murders, Nicole's family decided to hire their own private investigator to drum up some new leads. In that same year, the PI actually got an interesting tip, suggesting that while on probation

for a minor drug charge, Nicole was a confidential informant for Phoenix Police. If it was true, it made her family wonder if she was targeted for snitching. Now Rachel says that police wouldn't say one way or another, so frustrated and desperate for answers, she took them to court and officials finally were compelled to answer. And police said, no, Nicole was not a CI for their department. Over the years, detectives have revisited persons of interest in the case, which is basically everyone. They've even conducted polygraph tests. But Detective

Rosstonberg said not everyone involved is as forthcoming as they used to be. Detective Rosstonberg said the pool of physical evidence in the case has remained pretty much unchanged from 2010, which in turn has stalled the investigation, which he summed up as, quote, forensically tapped. Police have remained in regular contact with the women's families who still call them sometimes to check on the case or to offer insight on people they should speak with. Over the years, Nicole's mother Rachel has remained especially vocal in advocating for her daughter. Rachel still lives in the same Apache junction home that she did when Nicole and BB were killed in 2010. When our team visited her, Rachel beamed with pride as she talked about the close relationship

she shared with Nicole. She had a big personality. She was the kind of girl that when she walked into the room that everybody go, Nicole's here. Yeah, our family get together. You know, they just, they all miss her. We all miss her. It's just, it's tough.

Rachel gushed about Nicole's natural ability to command a room and to connect with basically anyone who crossed her path. She was absolutely darling. And she just attracted people like flies to honey, you know what I mean? That's just the way she was. And even when she was in high school, my God, at her funeral there was a lot of people from high school that she went to school with that came. I was really happy about that. Talking about her daughter has become easier with the passing of time. But Rachel still aches to know who killed her daughter and why. Until then, she'll try and keep her daughter's

memory alive. My grief has changed. I had friends that have done counseling and that. They said, Rachel, lean into the pain because there is another side to it, and honestly, I didn't believe them. I didn't believe that there was another side to grief where like, you could get to the point where you could talk about it and not break down in tears. It is beyond time to find some answers for these women. If you knew or were an acquaintance or friend of theirs and think that you have helpful information
