Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to True Detective Stories Podcast, a podcast where homicide
detectives share their most intense cases. Let's begin half a

(01:00):
century after two fourteen year old girls vanished on a
summer day in nineteen seventy five, the Broward Sheriff Office
is finally named their killers, unmasking a chilling mystery that
haunted South Florida for generations. The BSO Cold Case Homicide
Union announced on Thursday of the resolution of the murders
of Darlene Zeterar and Barbara Schreiber, both fourteen at the
time of the deaths. The case was solved using advanced

(01:24):
DNA testing. BSO detective Andrew Giannino and a team of
investigators from the Crib Lab identified Robert Clarke Keebler and
Lawrence Stein as the men who murdered the girls on
June in nineteen seventy five, shortly after they completed eighth grade.
Detectives believe the girls got into a van with the
two men in Hollywood and vanished. Their bodies were discovered

(01:45):
on the edge of the Everglades the following day. DNA
testing identify Keebler and Stein from samples taken from the
girl's clothing. Both men are deceased and will not stand
trial for the crimes. However, Detective Giannina said the case
is considered except the league cleared. Detectives hope that despite
the passage of time, the knowledge of who killed their
loved ones will bring a measure of peace to the

(02:06):
family the victims. In twenty nineteen, they created a cold
case unit in the BSO to investigate unsolved homicides and
sex crimes dating back decades. Kimberly Shreiber, Barbara's sister, expressed
gratitude for the dedication of those who saw the murder
of her sister and her sister's best friend. She lamented
that her parents and brother, who died before learning of

(02:26):
these developments, could not hear the news. They'd be so
happy that somebody never gave up. They said, so again,
we have closure on this story. Thank goodness that they
did find who did it. Unfortunately they both passed away,
the least disclosure for the family.
