This is an off week for Anatomy of Murder, but we thought it would be a great opportunity to use the time to highlight a case where the family is still waiting for answers.
A family waiting for justice. We originally aired Silent Night, the story of Anthony Anton Breaux, at the end of December 2022. Anton was just 19 years old when he was killed in April of 2007.
What better way to use our off weeks than to highlight previous AOMs that have featured those cases that are still waiting for answers, still waiting for accountability in the crimes.
If you haven't listened to this case before, please listen now. If you've heard it once, please listen again. Antone's mom shared her son with us and looks to us, along with everyone out there, all of you, who can help in any way to give the family answers and to also get justice for her son.
What better way also to start the new year than with victim advocacy and trying to help a family still very much in need. If you or anyone you know has any information about this case, please contact the Fremont, California police. Their info is on our website or contact us here at AOM.
So from us to you, Happy New Year. We look forward to spending another year with you here at AOM, and we will return next week.
I've never turned down an opportunity to keep what happened to him in the public's eye. Just be relentless, be on that corner every weekend, put flyers up if they got torn down, do interviews, do whatever I could think of. I wanted them to see my son because there's always a possibility that the right person could be listening.
I'm Scott Weinberger, investigative journalist and former deputy sheriff.
I'm Anastasia Nicolazzi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of Investigation Discovery's True Conviction.
And this is Anatomy of Murder.
The holidays are recently behind us and will soon be ringing in the new year.
And while most will be ringing in the new year with new resolutions, there are those families that still see the years pass with no resolution in a cold case homicide. And it's with them that my thoughts are with and with one particular family that we will be featuring today.
You can tell by the title that this case is still unfortunately unsolved. But in that spirit of resolution, let's discuss it in hopes that in 2023, they will get that resolution they deserve.
My name is Deborah Flores. I am a mother of two boys.
Boy number one was Richard and boy number two was Aaron, who was six years younger. And Deborah had her hands full.
My wardrobe became a pair of black pants and a referee shirt. I became a mom at a young age, and so it was a little bit difficult to learn the ropes, but it was definitely life-changing.
You know, I didn't grow up with brothers. I just had one. But it really sounds like what we read about so often. You know, there was that difficulty in that masculinity as they grew. But then that angst soon became a closeness that only brothers can share.
They would hang out in the bedroom, laying on the floor, watching scary movies. And I can hear them upstairs, you know, screaming and just carrying on. And they had fun together. They had a lot of fun together.
Aaron's full name is Aaron Anthony Breaux, but everyone called him Antone.
In April 2007, Anton was 19 years old, had just graduated high school. He went to Washington in Fremont, California, and his sights were set on soon heading off to Job Corps in Utah.
I had gotten some advice from the person who was working on getting him to the Job Corps. And he said to me, when it gets close to the time that your son is going to be leaving we always tell the parents this you know try to keep your son focused on the fact that they're getting ready to leave you know not let them go out and you know run around with their friends he goes the reason I'm telling you this is because it never fails right before some of these kids get ready to leave something happens
As we both know, a 19-year-old is going to be a 19-year-old teen. You know, wanting to be with friends, especially when he knows he's going to be away for an extended time. It seems very natural.
