SHERIFF CARMINE MARCENO PRESENTS:

SEEKING CLOSURE, A COLD CASE PODCAST

Episode 1
In this first episode, detectives give you an inside look into their case surrounding the death of David Comparetto. It started as an arson case and quickly turned into a homicide investigation when detectives found Comparetto’s charred remains in the trunk of a car in Lehigh Acres. A timeline of events was established, but the suspect responsible for his murder is still a mystery.

Episode 2
On September 13, 2002, at about 4:27 p.m., the Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call in reference to an unresponsive female at 350 Louise Avenue in Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida. The female was lying on the floor in the rear bedroom, bleeding from a gapping laceration to her neck. The victim also had a coaxial cable wrapped around her neck. The victim was identified as Sheila Joanne Foe, a white female born on October 22, 1956.

Episode 3
On August 15, 2013, at approximately 12:26 p.m., a man reported that he had discovered what he believed to be human remains in the area of Leah Court & Meadow Road, Lehigh Acres, Florida. The man was an employee of the Lee County Electric Cooperative (LCEC). Deputies responded and confirmed that the body of a deceased white male lay on the roadway inside Leah Court, an undeveloped cul-de-sac in a wooded area of Lehigh Acres. The decedent had several physical defects consistent with gunshot wounds; one in his head, several in his torso, and one in his right forearm. There was extensive facial damage consistent with animal activity, likely due to the vultures observed on and around the body. A fingerprint scanner identified the decedent as Kyle Byrtus, a white male born on May 17, 1988.

Episode 4
On February 5, 2015, members of the Tice Fire Department and Central District Deputies responded to a trailer fire located in the Tice area of Fort Myers. Fire officials met with the complainant, Peter Matthew Albritton, who resided in the trailer with Donna Chatterton. Albritton claimed Chatterton was not in the trailer when he returned home earlier, nor could he confirm if she was in the trailer when the fire occurred. The following day, Central District Deputies responded to the residence of Diane Bisram who requested to file a missing person’s report for her daughter, Donna Chatterton. Bisram was obviously concerned for the safety of Donna following the fire at her residence. Deputies completed a preliminary report and entered Chatterton as a missing person.

Episode 5
In this episode we will talk about the mysterious disappearance of Keri Anne Cefarelli. Keri Anne was a resident of North Fort Myers, Florida, and went missing on January 5, 2017. Despite extensive searches and investigations, there have been no concrete leads or clues to her whereabouts.
We will delve into the details of Keri Anne’s disappearance and examine the leads of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit. We will speak with experts and individuals closely involved in the case, in the hopes of shedding some light on what happened to Keri Anne and perhaps even bringing her home.
Keri Anne Cefarelli was born on December 1, 1976, and was a happy and loving young mother and fiancé. Despite her struggles with addiction, Keri Anne was seeking treatment and working hard to overcome her challenges. She had a close-knit family and a supportive community around her. On January 5, 2017, Keri Anne went missing, leaving behind her young son and fiancé.

Episode 6
On Friday, November 1, 2013, at approximately 3:58am, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call in reference to a shooting. The caller advised he had been shot and then the line disconnected. The location of the incident was in Lehigh Acres, Lee County, Florida. Deputies were dispatched to the scene.
Deputies arrived and discovered two victims: one victim with a gunshot wound to the right hand, and the other victim, Jaabin Robinson, a black male born on August 28, 1983, unconscious on the ground. Jaabin was pronounced deceased at the scene and a homicide investigation was launched.

Episode 7
On January 20, 2000, Lee County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were on routine patrol of an area called Moon Lake when they discovered a partially mummified body. That body was 36 year-old Bonita Springs resident Denise Long. Denise’s body had multiple stab wounds and showed signs being badly beaten.
Denise long had a history of drug abuse and was last seen in December of 1999. There are many witnesses in this case that have passed away or we need to locate. Please listen closely to this podcast as you or someone you know may have just one piece of information that could lead to the closure of the Denise Long case.

Episode 8
On the early morning of July 2, 2017, 51 year old Alice Dorton, a white female from Lehigh Acres, got into a white Ford SUV and was never heard from again. Alice Dorton was a transient by choice, but had a few romantic live-in relationships. Alice has family that lived in Florida at the time of her disappearance. Her daughter has never given up hope on finding out what happened to her mom on that early summer morning.

Episode 9
On October 7, 1995, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office recovered a female body in the water near York Island, south of St. James City, off the southern tip of Pine Island, Florida. The woman was wearing a maroon/red V-neck pullover scrub top with the words, “Charleston S.C. V.A. Hospital,” on the back. She was also wearing a yellow metal ring with a 2mm ivory colored stone, a lightweight metal bracelet, and a white metal watch on her left wrist.

She is believed to be from South Carolina and was likely a smoker. During her life she had sustained bone fractures and had surgically placed screws in her right ankle. She also had evidence of cranial surgery on the left side of her skull. Investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying this woman, and anyone with information is asked to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
