In December 2008, a man named William Blodgett vanished under mysterious conditions.Blodgett's son, Greg, reported him missing on January 3, 2009, after no one in his family was able to reach him for more than 10 days.
Police investigated and learned Blodgett reportedly had an issue with his tenant, later identified as Peralta, around that time and tried to evict him, a police report cited in the criminal affidavit said. A detective later interviewed Peralta but "no new leads" came from the conversation, the affidavit said.
Authorities searched the home and the neighborhood, talking with neighbors and using a cadaver dog, but did not find anything. Blodgett's vehicle was still parked at the home and there were no withdrawals from his bank account, the affidavit says.
Police eventually said the case got cold and was closed. "All leads in reference to this case have been exhausted. This case will be closed pending further leads or information,"
…That was until 15 years later, a shocking confession from a former suspect, Tony Peralta, finally unraveled the mystery of a once-cold case.
Hang tight, as we are about to unravel how a guilt-filled consciousness led to the answers to a case that may otherwise gone unresolved forever
