Welcome to the Cold Cases Solved Podcast, a podcast that
shares the most recent solved cold cases. Our purpose is

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

the Crib Lab identified Robert Clarke Keebler and Lawrence Stein

will bring a measure of peace to the family the victims.

did it. Unfortunately they both passed away. The least disclosure
