Our card this week is Aaron Lamont "Peanut" Smalls, the Ace of Spades from Virginia. Aaron Lamont Smalls, also known as Peanut, was only 25 years old when his body was found in York County, Virginia, in 2001. In the search for his killer, investigators uncovered several key pieces of evidence and received a mountain of tips. But despite their efforts, the case slowly turned cold. Now, 20 years later, investigators and Peanut’s family still have hope that the case will one day be solved. So if you have any information about his murder, please call the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office at 757-890-4999. To learn more about The Deck, visit www.thedeckpodcast.com.
