Her Ghost Haunted Her Killer to a Confession: The Story of Carrie Ann Jopek

More than three decades after 13-year-old Carrie Ann Jopek went missing after a house party, her killer would come forward to confess, saying that Carrie’s ghost had been haunting him ever since that fateful day. Her disappearance and death went unsolved for 30 years until the perpetrator said he just could not handle being haunted by her spirit any longer. What’s crazy, is that this case would likely have never been solved if he did not come forward and admitted to what had happened.

Who Was Carrie Ann Jopek?

Carrie Ann Jopek was born on August 17, 1968, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She lived with her mom Carolyn, stepfather Fred and little sister Maggie in a very friendly family-oriented neighborhood, with homes lined up right beside each other. It was one of those communities where the kids played outside with the other neighborhood kids until the street lights would come on.
