gone cold podcast - texas true crime explores unsolved homicides and missing persons cases throughout the state of Texas, providing the victims and their families with a voice.
On Wednesday, January 9th, 1980, in the North Loop neighborhood of Austin, a man witnessed a young woman's abduction. The following day, the body of that woman, 25-year-old University of Texas student Susan Leigh Wolfe, was found slain in an alley more than 4 miles away. Because the witness to the abduction was in the auto business, he was able to give Austin Police Detectives what might have been the best vehicle description the department had ever seen. But it didn't matter; though the car had been seen by folks in the neighborhood before, as well as elsewhere in town, it was apparently never seen again. Susan Wolfe's murder case went cold. When Austin Police pinned a few of their murders on Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Elwood Toole, murders they could not have committed, the witness in Susan's case had made it virtually impossible to pin her murder on them, luckily. But unfortunately, her case faded into obscurity as the years and decades passed.If you have any information about the murder of Susan Leigh Wolfe, please contact the Austin Police Cold Case & Missing Persons Unit through the department's homicide tipline at (512)477-3588 or by calling the capital area crime stoppers hotline at (512)472-8477To show your support for Fort Worth cold case victims and their families, please consider joining Thaw the Cold Cases on April 29th, 2023 in the city's downtown.

On Thursday, November 27th, 1986, 28-year-old Connie Jane Bibb returned home after a holiday dinner at a friend's house. It was her senior year at the University of Texas Austin as a special education major, and the religious woman looked forward to a life of teaching and missionary work. But senselessly, her life was cut short. All nine of Connie's roommates were either attending the Longhorns V. Aggies game on campus, or out of town for the holiday, leaving her alone at the house Thanksgiving night. An intruder broke in, his intentions unknown, and after a violent struggle, Connie Bibb was murdered. It was a time when the cops were doing everything they could to suppress information about the Hyde Park Rapist, endangering North Austin's female population, and the troubling rise in the city's crime rate. They could not, of course hide Connie's killing, but the local media's attention span turned away quickly, and the case has been seldom reported on since.If you have any information about the murder of Connie Jane Bibb, please contact the Austin Police Cold Case & Missing Persons Unit through the department's homicide tipline at (512)477-3588 or by calling the capital area crime stoppers hotline at (512)472-8477Please consider donating to the go fund me for Leon Laureles.

Nearly a year after the murder of Father Patrick Ryan of Saint William Catholic Church in Denver City, Texas, a confession call came into Albuquerque, New Mexico 911. The confessor had already been interviewed by Odessa Police Detectives and eliminated as a suspect, but frustrated detectives and politically motivated prosecutors were chomping at the bit to close the case. Though the only evidence that this man, 26-year-old James Harry Reyos, had beaten the priest to death at the Sand and Sage Motel in Odessa was his drunken confession, he was convicted of the crime. The problem is, Reyos did not kill Father Ryan.

As Odessa Police Detectives investigated the December 21st, 1981 murder of Father Patrick Ryan, violence against other men of the cloth continued in the south and southwest United States, among other places. When a fairly similar attack or slaying of a priest occurred, the cops were on it, but they failed to make a connection every time. Was the violence related or were the holy men simply easy targets for opportunists? Odessa Police Detectives, at least, believed the latter.If you have any information about the 1981 murder of Father Patrick Joseph Ryan, please call the Odessa Police Department at (432)335-496 or Odessa Crime Stoppers at (432)333-8477Please consider donating to the go fund me for Leon Laureles.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn't the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life. Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?Prime Members, listen to the Amazon Music exclusive podcast, COLD, in the Amazon Music App. Download the app today.Listen: wondery.fm/GC_ColdS3
When Father Patrick Ryan disappeared from Denver City, Texas on December 21st, 1981, his congregants thought he'd gone to help someone or was called away to Plains, the other Yoakum County town where he was priest. By Christmas Day, however, after missing three Masses, they were worried and reported Father Ryan missing. Meanwhile, 85 miles to the southeast, police detectives in Odessa were investigating a mystery of their own – the murder of a John Doe whose body was found in a seedy, highway side motel.If you have any information about the 1981 murder of Father Patrick Joseph Ryan, please call the Odessa Police Department at (432)335-496 or Odessa Crime Stoppers at (432)333-8477Please consider donating to the go fund me for Leon Laureles.

Almost immediately upon the San Antonio Police taking to social media to try and get the word out about missing child Lina Sardar Khil, things got ugly. Completely fabricated details about what happened that supported bigoted theories, victim blaming, and unhinged conspiracy theories that had everyone from the founder of Eagles Flight Advocacy & Outreach to the assistant to United States Senator from Texas John Cornyn in on...something never fully fleshed out. But things got even scarier as Lina's father was accosted and almost assaulted, more than once, and as YouTube influencers and TikTokers faked volunteering for searches to create content and stalk those involved in the effort.

The Sardar Khils came to San Antonio, Texas from the Khost Province of Afghanistan in 2019, after being granted a special visa by the United States. Thanks to a supportive and uplifting Afghan refugee community there, the family landed on their feet and their lives seemed to be heading in the right direction, a good direction. On December 20th, 2021, however, Riaz and Zarmeena Sardar Khil were met with a tragedy far worse than living in fear in their homeland, when their three-year-old daughter Lina vanished. Though they responded to this crisis fairly well, the San Antonio Police failed to find so much as a trace of the missing little girl.

The investigation into Mary Lou Morris's October 12th, 2000 murder was going nowhere for Harris County Texas Sheriff's Office detectives. All the physical evidence had literally gone up in flames, which was perhaps the biggest clue – that her killer either planned the terrible crime carefully or had plenty of time after to cover their tracks. Finding a motive was damn near as impossible. Mary Lou's daughter Marilyn was 25 years old at the time, and vividly remembers the day her mother went missing and her smoldering car was found. She noticed plenty to cause her to be suspicious of one man then and in the proceeding years, another inserted himself into the case causing further confusion.Very special thanks to Marilyn for speaking with us for this episodeIf you have any information about the murder of Mary Lou Morris or Mary Teresa Morris, please contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office at (713)274-9100 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477)You can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastWe highly recommend listening to the following podcasts, which were used as sources for this episode: The Murder In My Family's episode here: spreaker.com/user/11688200/mary-henderson-morris ...... and The Prosecutors Podcast's Mary Morris episodes, beginning with part 1: prosecutorspodcast.com/2020/12/15/47-the-murders-of-mary-morris-double-visionOther sources for this episode are The Baytown Sun, The Houston Chronical, The Austin American-Statesman, and ABCnews.com #JusticeForMaryLouMorris #JusticeForMaryTeresaMorris #JusticeForMaryMorris #BaytownTX #SugarLandTX #Houston #HarrisCountyTX #TX #Texas #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #UnsolvedMurder
For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle's face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end. Then, in 2019, Jonelle's remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn't stop obsessing over Jonelle's disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.

While the investigation into the murder of 48-year-old Mary Lou Morris was just beginning, another woman – 39-year-old Mary Teresa Morris – was killed brutally. Though there was far more evidence to be had in Mary Teresa's case, Harris County Sheriff's Office Detectives came up empty handed. As they investigated the usual suspect – Mary Teresa's husband – another seemingly good suspect emerged, one who seemed to have it out for the victim. While potential motive was there, however, clues tying either man to the scene of the crime were virtually nonexistent, no matter what the media lead readers and viewers to believe.

On October 12th, 2000, 48-year-old Mary Morris left her Baytown, Texas home headed for work. Later that afternoon, when her husband discovered she'd never made it, he reported her missing and went searching alongside his stepdaughter. At 5 PM that day, Mary's car was found smoldering after having been set afire. The day of Mary Lou Morris's funeral, October 16th, 2000, another woman was discovered dead in her vehicle in northwest Houston, about 37 miles away. A connection between these two heinous crimes, perhaps, would have never been theorized if it weren't for the fact that the second woman's name was also Mary Morris.

When a man's past came back to haunt him more than 30 years later, his employer, the Sheboygan County Sheriff, stuck up for him. The public, and more so the man's coworkers, however, were horrified. The crime the man committed in Fort Worth, Texas was unspeakably gruesome and though he served 13 years of his 40 year sentence, many thought it wasn't enough. Unfortunately, we could find very little about Macias's victim, Julie Ann Adams.
Fort Worth, Texas in the 1970s was a stomping ground for killers. In February of that year, 25-year-old June Ward was brutally murdered and thrown on the side of West Fuller. While June's case hardly got the press and investigative effort she deserved, a slaying that occurred in the summer got much less. On June 4th, 1977, workers cleaning up at Sycamore Park south of downtown found the body of 31-year-old Ora Lee Prescott. After quickly identifying who they thought her killer was and then failing to produce sufficient evidence to charge him, the Fort Worth Police simply gave up, leaving her casefile to collect dust, by all indications, for 45 years now. Tragically, Ora Lee's daughter, too, was slain by a serial rapist and two-time convicted murderer almost 20 years after her mother.If you have any information about the unsolved murder of Ora Lee Prescott, please contact the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817)392-4307 or email coldcase@fortworthpd.comCheck out our pal Theron Georges' beautiful Aluminum, Space-Age Christmas Tree books at evergleambook.com You also need Theron's YouTube videos in your holiday life, trust me, and you can find those and subscribe at youtube.com/@spaceagechristmastreesAlso, check out season 5 of our friend T.Z.'s podcast Tapes from the Darkside anywhere you listen to podcasts, or right here: tapesfromthedarkside.comYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcastThe Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Mansfield News-Mirror, The Washington Post, The LA Times, and passive aggressively redacted police reports were used as sources for this episode.#JusticeForOraLeePrescott #JusticeForJuneWard #FortWorth #FortWorthTX #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Unsolved #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #FebruarySlayings #BathtubKiller
Detectives had few leads in the April 11th, 1976, slaying of 38-year-old Joyce Packey Stein. But they did have a weirdo, the victim's boyfriend Dr. Gary Ferris. Perhaps prematurely satisfied with the alibis of other persons of interest, particularly Joyce's abusive ex-husband Stanley, the Terrell Hills Police and Bexar County Sheriff's Office put on their blinders and pursued Dr. Gary with fervor. But was the man's odd behavior simply come from his inability to cope with his girlfriend's brutal murder by gunshot?

38-year-old Joyce Packey Stein was found lying in a pool of blood on April 12th, 1976. As Terrell Hills and San Antonio PDs began investigating the murder scene and collecting interviews alongside the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, Joyce's ex-husband Stanley and boyfriend Dr. Ferris become suspicious to police for their odd actions and behaviors. When a so-called “little black book” is found, it creates problems for Detectives as they pursue many leads and eventually leads to a free for all feast of the imagination for local tabloid-style newspapers – the only kind that seems to have existed in San Antonio at the time.

In the moonlight hours of April 11th, 1976, gunshots rang out in the small, suburban town of Terrell Hills, Texas. Many heard or were awakened by the terrifying commotion, and while some might have believed there was some trouble at the nearby bar, the shots actually occurred in a home there. The home of 38-year-old Joyce Packey Stein, who was found the following day lying in a pool of blood. Divorced the previous year after a long and abusive marriage, Joyce was no stranger to tragedy. She'd seen plenty in her short life. But who would want her dead? According to newspaper articles written by hack reporters foaming at the mouth to get creative off someone else's tragedy, there were plenty of people.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn't the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life. Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

The year 1969 is one of the most historically eventful years in the history of the United States. Pop culture, counterculture, culture wars, the fight for equal rights, and a war that seemed to neither have an end nor purpose. But in the Summer of 69, folks in Fort Worth, Texas and the surrounding areas took respite from the stresses of this vital but anxiety inducing year by hunting down a thing. Reports of a creature who lived in the deep, dense thicket on Lake Worth's Greer Island who came out only at night, seemingly to terrorize lovers in their parked cars. By the time the summer ended, nearly 100 folks had claimed they'd caught a glimpse of this half-goat, half-man who quickly became known as The Lake Worth Monster. To this day, no one knows what really happened; was the thing a hoax or was it an unknown species – a monster?

In 2014, Barry Hinkle moved up to the position of Chief of Police in Blue Mound, Texas. While his responsibilities certainly grew, Hinkle still actively sought to solve the 1976 slayings of Kevin, Brian, Fae, and Wayne Joplin, and family friend Terry Trice. He'd uncovered, or simply investigated, something no investigator in the case ever had – a jailhouse letter written by an inmate to his wife. It implicated a man named Johnny Cotton. As Hinkle investigated Cotton and pieced together a timeline that for the most part was not public knowledge, the jailhouse letter seemed to match. And it looked like the sole surviving Joplin might have hired a man to kill his entire family and set up his former friend as a patsy.If you have any information about the 1976 Joplin Family murders, please contact the Blue Mound Police at (817)232-0665Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastGrand Jury testimony, an anonymous individual once involved in the investigation, Tom Stephenson's 2018 article in D Magazine titled “Reopening the Blue Mound Massacre,” and The Dallas Morning-News were used as sources for this episode#JusticeForTheJoplinFamily #JusticeForTerryTrice #BlueMound #BlueMoundTX #FortWorth #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved #FamilyAnnihilator

After the grand jury wrapped up their investigation into the Joplin and Trice murders, unhappily at that, the media essentially turned their back on the story. More disturbingly, it seems the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office did the same. While most folks the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex over were paying attention to the new high profile murder case in town, residents of Blue Mound were stuck wondering if a murderer walked among them. In 2011, a new Blue Mound cop decided he'd like to get a shot at breaking the Joplin / Trice murder case. It was Deputy Police chief Barry Hinkle who, more than 3 decades after the horrific slayings, uncovered the most promising lead the case had ever known in the form of a guy known as “Johnny Cotton.” Part 7 of 8.If you have any information about the 1976 Joplin Family murders, please contact the Blue Mound Police at (817)232-0665Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastGrand Jury testimony, an anonymous individual once involved in the investigation, and The Fort Worth Star-Telegram were used as sources for this episode#JusticeForTheJoplinFamily #JusticeForTerryTrice #BlueMound #BlueMoundTX #FortWorth #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved #FamilyAnnihilator
The first two-thirds of Gregg Wayne Joplin's testimony at the grand jury investigation into the murders of his entire family and friend Terry Trice were riddled with inconsistencies and, seemingly, impossibilities. The final hour or so was no different. After he was dismissed, Terry Trice's close friend Valdemar Gomez Junior took the stand. It's unclear if the teenager was nervous or simply could not recall details well, but his testimony, too, contradicted the testimony of others and even his own. In the end, grand jurors were unable to suggest an indictment or even provide many answers. The case, from that point on, was unofficially concluded.If you have any information about the 1976 Joplin Family murders, please contact the Blue Mound Police at (817)232-0665Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastGrand Jury testimony and The Fort Worth Star-Telegram were used as sources for this episode#JusticeForTheJoplinFamily #JusticeForTerryTrice #BlueMound #BlueMoundTX #FortWorth #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved #FamilyAnnihilator
As Gregg Joplin's testimony about what happened on Monday, February 23rd, 1976 continued, the of murder case of the Joplin Family and Terry Trice seemed to grow even more complicated. The Grand Jury's investigative efforts were certainly hindered, at the very least, by Gregg's claimed lack of memory. Oddly, he remembered certain details quite well, but others – important details – not at all. Was Gregg's lapse in memory a product of trauma or evasion? The Grand Jurors seemed to believe the latter.If you have any information about the 1976 Joplin Family murders, please contact the Blue Mound Police at (817)232-0665Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastGrand Jury testimony and The Fort Worth Star-Telegram were used as sources for this episode#JusticeForTheJoplinFamily #BlueMound #BlueMoundTX #FortWorth #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved #FamilyAnnihilator
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram shocked the locals when on March 3rd, 1976, they ran an article in their evening edition announcing that a grand jury investigation into the Joplin Family and Terry Trice murders in Blue Mound. It came out of nowhere. But Tarrant County Sheriff Lon Evans had asked for it the previous week, and subpoenas had gone out since. Because of an unwarranted arrest, a portion of the grand jury witness testimony leaked, and several aspects of it provide, perhaps, reason to believe the case was never what it seemed.

After Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper reporters uncovered relatively solid evidence that 17-year-old Terry Trice did not kill Wayne, Fae, Brian, and Kevin Joplin, Tarrant County Sheriff Lon Evans became heavily involved in the investigation. In fact, it seemed as though he didn't want anyone making any decisions or talking to any reports other than himself and his Chief Deputy Earl Brown. Damage control began. As the Sheriff and his right hand man sorted through mistakes made by both the Blue Mound Police Chief and his own deputies, Lon Evans became frustrated at the lack of cooperation from the sole surviving Joplin family member.

After the murders of Wayne, Fae, Brian, and Kevin Joplin on February 23rd, 1976, both Blue Mound Police Chief Gary Erwin and Tarrant County Deputies who assisted at the scene thought the case was open and shut: a family friend, 17 year old Terry Trice, killed them all and was trying to make out with two vintage firearms when he was surprised, shot, and killed by Gregg Joplin after he came home. Within two days, however, as reporters for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and D Magazine uncovered facts about Terry Trice that authorities had not, it seemed almost certain he hadn't committed any crime at all.

Blue Mound, Texas in 1976 was a quaint and quiet working class family town, it's low violent crime rate in stark contrast to the city directly to the south, Fort Worth. In February of 1976, however, Blue Mound forever changed when five people were slaughtered in a suburban home there. The sole surviving member of the Joplin Family, 20-year-old Gregg, told police that after visiting a relative, he came home to find his family slain, and shot and killed the alleged intruder. On the surface, that story seemed to work. But as the investigation progressed, witnesses and evidence painted a much different story.

Part 2 of 2. After moving back to her hometown of Paris, Texas at age 80, Mary Searight quickly became a beloved resident. Mary shot straight, had seemingly endless tales to tell, and always took care of the places she lived through philanthropic gestures. But 8 years after coming back home, when she was 87 years old, someone brutally raped and beat Mary Searight to death in her home. The investigation, though diligently worked, was getting nowhere. When elderly couple Bessie and Grady Alexander were slain just two weeks after Mary's murder, the Paris Police theorized a possible connection. But when evidence revealed the killer of the Alexander's through DNA, testing on Mary Searight's case stalled.If you have any information about the 1996 murder of Mary Moore Searight, please call the Paris, Texas Police Department at (903)784-6688Please donate to help get #JusticeForLeonLaureles at gofundme.com/f/leon-laureles-private-detective-and-memorial/Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastCommunityImpact.com, The Paris News, The Austin American-Statesman, The Houston Post, The Fort Worth Record, LamarCounty.org, MooreFirm.com, Moore & Searight Family Records, and Court Appeal Documents were used as sources for this episode#JusticeForMaryMooreSearight #Paris #ParisTX #Austin #AustinTX #Texas #TX #Texas #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved

Mary Searight came from a family of great means and influence in Texas law and state government. Her husband, too, came from a prominent Austin, Texas cattle ranching family. After he died, Mary spent 30 more years on their Austin ranch before realizing she could no longer handle the responsibility of raising cattle and keeping up with the land. Though moving back to her hometown of Paris, Texas seemed ideal, Mary Searight's choice to do so turned deadly.Part 1 of 2 If you have any information about the 1996 murder of Mary Moore Searight, please call the Paris, Texas Police Department at (903)784-6688 Please donate to help get #JusticeForLeonLaureles at gofundme.com/f/leon-laureles-private-detective-and-memorial/Find gone cold – texas true crime on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastCommunityImpact.com, The Paris News, The Austin American-Statesman, The Houston Post, The Fort Worth Record, LamarCounty.org, MooreFirm.com, and Moore & Searight Family Records were used as sources for this episode #JusticeForMaryMooreSearight #Paris #ParisTX #Austin #AustinTX #Texas #TX #Texas #TexasTrueCrime #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved
On November 11th, 1982, 20-year-old Kathy Mae Goad took the day off work to run some errands in the Fort Worth, Texas suburb of Hurst. She never made it back to the east Fort Worth home she shared with her husband, who reported her missing that evening. The Fort Worth Police believed that Kathy had simply left her husband and more or less refused to investigate the case. But authorities in her Kentucky hometown felt very differently. They sent one of their best detectives to Texas to investigate. In the first two days of Commonwealth of Kentucky Attorney's Detective Glen Wood's visit, he uncovered information that strongly pointed to a suspect in Kathy Goad's disappearance. Twelve years after Kathy went missing, a mysterious letter sent to FWPD attempted to connect her case with one of the city's most talked about mysteries – the Fort Worth Missing Trio. Still, the 20-year-old has never been found and no one has ever been held accountable for whatever happened to her.

When a small team of government investigators learns that ordinary citizens all around the U.S. are losing their life savings to scam callers, they go on the hunt for the shadowy multinational mob behind the con, unraveling a plot that stretches from suburban Texas to the outskirts of Singapore to a drab office complex in one of the largest cities in India. In the latest season of Chameleon, host Yudhijit Bhattacharjee retraces the steps of the cops and the crooks – and goes deep into the Indian underworld looking for the masterminds who got away.
This is an excerpt from The Fall Line Podcast's episode on the unsolved disappearance of Carlos Ariel Delgado Mancha. Carlos Delgado disappeared in 1997, but there's no formal record of this fact—at least, not one his family can access. Although ICE allegedly holds that information in their internal records, there is no listing for Carlos, who was in the US on a temporary residency visa, with NamUs or any other state or county agency. And that has made tracking him, and publicizing his case, extraordinarily difficult. Add in the circumstances of Carlos'' life, and his place among the “missing missing,” and his son Hugo and niece Sheila have had a hard road toward seeking help in publicizing his case.

During the course of John Palmer's journey to see justice for his wife Katie, he's gone up against the Grayson County District Attorney, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and even taken his fight to Texas State Congress. When House Bill 558 passed, it was a huge victory – not only for John but also for the family of Royce City's Colten Carney, who was struck and killed by a pickup truck as he walked to work in 2017. Even though his other battles are yet to be won, John Palmer isn't stopping anytime soon, especially not before he gets #JusticeForKatiePalmer.

On an April 2020 morning in a country neighborhood of Denison, Texas, Katie and John Palmer set out for a walk and to hopefully spot some killdeer birds nesting down the street. When they headed back home on Glenwood Drive, walking on the left side of the road where they would face traffic should there be any, the couple was struck from behind without warning. John Palmer survived his injuries, but his wife Katie was pronounced dead at a Plano Hospital trauma center many hours later. There was much to be desired concerning the Texas Department of Public Safety's “investigation” at the scene. Months later, a grand jury declined to indict the man who hit Katie and John Palmer, killing her. But a trooper at the scene recommended the man's arrest and charges in his report, citing criminal negligence. To this day, John Palmer continues to fight for justice for Katie.

Sunnyside, Houston, Texas was once a community of hope and prosperity. But by the 1990s, the community was riddled with dilapidated buildings and infrastructure, poverty, and crime. Track champion, basketball all-star, and honor student Trellis “Tree” Sykes was a light in the community. Everyone in Sunnyside was proud to have her as a local. In 1994, however, someone who can only be described as a monster accosted Tree and violently ended her incredibly special and promising life. Years later, when a neighborhood rapist was identified after the city of Houston finally prioritized ending their backlog of rape kits, the cops were sure the man was responsible for Tree's slaying. Though the case remains unsolved to this day, Houston Homicide Division Cold Case Detective Darcus Shorten recently reopened the case.If you have any information about the murder of Trellis Tree Sykes, please contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division's Cold Case Squad at (713)308-3618If you are a survivor of sexual violence and need confidential help, please call the national sexual assault hotline at (800)656-HELP or (800)656-4673.

San Antonio, Texas is known for the Alamo and the River Walk, among other things. Though the city is certainly set apart from other comparable Texas cities by the amazing culture and the interesting history, San Antonio's violent crime rate isn't any different. In 1988, as gang violence began to escalate, so did other terrible crimes involving juveniles, many in San Antonio's west and southwest sides. Perhaps the most senseless and baffling homicide in the city that year, and possibly for many years before and after, was the random killing of 8-year-old Jennifer Delgado. The lack of motive and the fact that Jennifer did not know the man who murdered her at all rendered the case cold from the get-go.Special thanks to Christopher Palmer for his help with this episode.

In 1988, 27-year-old Carol Lee Preslar was enrolled at the University of Texas, working nights at Feather's Lounge, and having fun with friends. She'd been back in Fort Worth for about 5 years after spending several with her sister in Utah. Carol had a lot going for her: a personality that drew folks in and hooked them, a successful boyfriend, and even a little dog named Georgie. But shortly after returning home following work and a little partying with friends, Carol was held in her apartment, tortured, and murdered. Details of the crime suggest Carol knew her killer, who also sought to demean her, but the cops couldn't zero in on a motive, much less a viable suspect in the initial investigation. Though progress was made a decade later, and another decade after that, the case remains unsolved. Currently, Carol Lee Preslar's murder case is being actively investigated by Fort Worth Police Cold Case detectives. If you have any information about the horrific murder of Carol Lee Preslar in June of 1988, please contact the Fort Worth Cold Case Unit at (817)392-4307. You can also report information anonymously to Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at (817)469-8477.Special thanks to Susie, Jodi, and Detective Leah Wagner for their invaluable contributions to this episode.Consider joining Laurah from The Fall Line, Sarah from Voices for Justice, Arlene, and me for a FREE special live podcast on Thursday, June 30th, 2022 at 7:30 CT to discuss Leon Laureles's case.
