Fort Myers firm aids police with unsolved crime playing cards

A Fort Myers marketing and public relations firm has had a big — but mostly behind the scenes — role in helping law enforcement agencies solve open investigations.  

That effort got some statewide attention last month, when Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced her office is partnering with the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers, Florida Sheriffs Association and Florida Department of Corrections to distribute 5,000 packs of playing cards to prisons and jails with the goal of hopefully generating new leads on some cases. 

The company, Fort Myers-based Priority Marketing Group, has been designing the cards since 2008. For Priority Marketing founder Teri Hansen, with an enthusiast-level interest in true crime, the project has been a passion as well.
