The Path Went Chilly

November 15, 1928. Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. 29-year old Glen Hyde and his 22- year old wife, Bessie, decide to spend their honeymoon taking a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon down the rapids of the Colorado River and hope to attain a new speed record. Shortly after stopping at the home of a photographer named Emery Kolb, the Hydes vanish without a trace. Their empty boat is eventually discovered on the river nearly 150 miles away with all of the couple's supplies and possessions onboard, but Glen and Bessie are nowhere to be found. Over the next several decades, there would be a number of surprising twists, including a woman who claimed to be Bessie Hyde and the discovery of an unidentified male skeleton in Emery Kolb's boathouse. Did Glen and Bessie Hyde drown in the Colorado River, or was something a lot more sinister behind their disappearances? This week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly” chronicles the Grand Canyon's most famous mystery, which has remained unsolved for nearly a century.Support the Show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Glen_and_Bessie_Hydehttp://charleyproject.org/case/glen-rollin-hydehttp://charleyproject.org/case/bessie-louise-haley-hyde“Sunk Without a Sound: The Tragic Colorado River Honeymoon of Glen and Bessie Hyde” by Brad Dimock

April 15, 2005. Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. After taking the day off work and leaving on a road trip, 59-year old Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar fails to return home and is reported missing. The following day, Ray's abandoned car is discovered 60 miles away in the town of Lewisburg, parked across the street from an antiques mall. Over the course of the next several months, Ray's county-issued work laptop and its hard drive are discovered in the nearby Susquehanna River, but the hard drive is too damaged to recover any data. A number of different theories are pushed forward, which include Ray disappeared voluntarily, completing suicide by jumping into the river, or becoming the victim of foul play, possibly in connection to the infamous Penn State child sex abuse scandal. However, there is no conclusive evidence pointing to any of these theories and Ray Gricar is never found.  If you have any information about this case, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (814) 355-7545. Support the show: Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashley Additional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Gricar https://charleyproject.org/case/ray-frank-gricar http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/05109/490420-85.stm https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/04/the-hunt-for-ray-gricar-15-years-of-clues-theories-and-the-search-for-answers.html“The Serial Killer's Apprentice: And 12 Other Stories of Cleveland's Most Intriguing Unsolved Crimes” by Ray Gricarhttp://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/07/utah_detainee_isnt_gricar_but.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2015/04/15/us/ray-gricar-missing-prosecutor/index.htmlhttps://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2015/04/ten_years_later_ray_gricars_di.htmlhttps://www.centredaily.com/news/local/education/penn-state/jerry-sandusky/article42806712.htmlhttps://www.centredaily.com/news/article42828846.htmlhttps://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/podcast-gives-new-insight-on-district-attorney-ray-gricars-disappearance-16-years-later/https://www.northcentralpa.com/news/crime/no-answers-16-years-later-in-disappearance-of-centre-county-da-psp-says-case-still/article_8e33cc04-72d1-11eb-ab98-f30bcdaa197b.html

February 28, 1983. St. Louis, Missouri. The body of an African-American girl is found in the basement of an abandoned apartment building. She is believed to be between eight-to-eleven years old and has her hands tied behind her back and it turns out she was sexually assaulted and strangled to death before she was beheaded. Since the victim's head is never recovered and she cannot be identified, she becomes known as the “St. Louis Jane Doe”. Over the years, investigators explore a number of different leads, but they are unable to determine the girl's identity or figure out who was responsible for killing her. On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore one of the most horrific and tragic stories you'll ever find about the murder of an unidentified decedent, who has also been known by such as names as “Little Jane Doe” and “Precious Hope”.If you have information about this case, please contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department at (314) 231-1212.Support the Show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Jane_Doehttp://www.doenetwork.org/cases/54ufmo.htmlhttps://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/St._Louis_Jane_Doe_(1983)“Our Precious Hope: St. Louis' Little Jane Doe Revisited” Documentary

March 2, 1995. New Orleans, Louisiana. After leaving a restaurant with his date in the French Quarter, 25-year old Michael Gerardi is fatally gunned down by a trio of robbers. Weeks later, 16-year old Shareef Cousin is implicated in the crime and charged with first-degree murder. Even though Shareef seems to have an airtight alibi, Michael's date identifies him as the shooter at trial. Shareef is found guilty and becomes one of the youngest people to ever be sentenced to death, but the verdict is surrounded with controversy. It turns out the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office committed egregious acts of prosecutorial misconduct, which included withholding exculpatory evidence, doctoring a tape-recorded interview, and illegally detaining defence witnesses. After nearly three years on death row, Shareef's conviction is overturned, but Michael Gerardi's real killers are never found.

When Crystal's 22-year old step-cousin, Damon Thibodeaux, is interrogated by police, he confesses to her murder and is subsequently convicted and sentenced to death. However, Damon maintains that his confession was coerced and none of the physical evidence from the crime matches him, so after 16 years of incarceration, Damon's conviction is vacated and he is released from death row.

June 12, 1993. Santa Clara, California. 21-year old U.S. Army Private Justin Burgwinkel leaves his girlfriend's apartment and never returns. One week earlier, Justin had gone AWOL from Fort Lewis, the post where he was stationed in Washington state, and kept hinting to his girlfriend that he was working on some sort of secret mission. Three months later, Justin's abandoned car is found at a motel in Monterey with his military dog tags and most of his personal items inside. While the Army denies that Justin was ever involved in any secret operations, no trace of him is ever found. Did Justin Burgwinkel go missing because he became involved in something sinister? Or did he suffer some sort of mental breakdown and lose his grip on reality? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore the unsolved disappearance of a soldier who has not been seen in three decades.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Clinton Police Department at (978) 365-4111.Support the Show: Patreon.comn/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://unsolved.com/gallery/justin-burgwinkel/https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Justin_Burgwinkelhttp://charleyproject.org/case/justin-burgwinkelhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/626359358/

November 27, 1985. St. Augustine, Florida. While attending a neighbourhood social gathering, 12-year old Martha Jean Lambert tells her mother that she will be taking a brief trip back to their mobile home, but Martha never returns and is eventually reported missing. Suspicion starts to fall upon on Martha's 14-year old brother, David Lambert, after he gives conflicting stories about the last time he saw her. Over the course of the next 24 years, David makes two separate confessions about killing Martha and disposing of her body. Investigators find David's second confession to be believable enough that they decide to close the case, but almost immediately after this news is made public, David recants his story. Was Martha's brother actually responsible for her disappearance, or did something else happen to her? This week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold” covers a very controversial and divisive missing persons case which has yet to find a conclusive resolution.Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldStatement Analysis Training: https://www.statementanalysis.com/online-training/Additional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Martha_Jean_Lamberthttp://charleyproject.org/case/martha-jean-lamberthttps://abcnews.go.com/US/missing-girl-cold-case-solved-cops/story?id=9465748https://www.staugustine.com/article/20100102/NEWS/301029981https://www.staugustine.com/article/20100107/NEWS/301079953https://www.jacksonville.com/article/20100109/NEWS/801259468https://web.archive.org/web/20141202205242/http://staugustine.com/stories/112804/new_2730440.shtmlhttps://crimeblogger1983.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-happened-to-martha-jean-lambert.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LinZik2MPtQ

Here is the statement and part two the case will be revealed. This is a departure from our usual formula with Robin and I, Ash was busy with Christmas stuff. We hope you enjoy:)Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldOkay, um, basically… the truth of the matter is… me and ****** went to the old college and we got in a big argument and fight… and it was over money that she wouldn't give back to me. It was some change of a $20 bill. She hauled off and punched me. I then… not thinking… pushed her. She fell backwards and her head… when she fell backwards, her head impaled on something sharp sticking out of the ground. I then said: “Are you alright?”. I run over to her and she just mimed a little bit and… there was nothing else. I hollered out for help too cause Holmes Boulevard is right there. Nobody came, nobody yelled back or anything. I didn't want to leave her… I freaked out… I didn't… I said I don't know what to tell you all. I couldn't tell you all. I just freaked. Uh, so I… not thinking… I freaked… I tripped… I just didn't know what to do… I buried her. I didn't know what to do. It was the wrong thing to do, I agree. But I was 14 years old. I wasn't thinking. I then… I came home after that, but she was dead. Definitely dead before I buried her. That I know because I checked her stomach and all that. Then after that, I sit therefor about 30 minutes… 30 to 45 minutes… just didn't know what to do. I went home, I got cleaned up. I regret it, I'm sorry it did happen. I regret pushing her. I wish I could go back in time and not have done that. I wish I could turn time, if I could turn time back, I wouldn't just… you know. It was all over money… and you know what money will do to you when you're a kid. I don't know… you were a kid… you had a certain amount of money… the money was valuable to you then, you know. But that's the way it was with me when I was a kid. Every dime I got, I depend on. Because most stuff like that I had to work for.

November 21, 1985. Littleton, Colorado. A masked gunman enters the home of 51-year old businessman Roger Dean and forces him to tie up and blindfold his wife, D.J.. After an apparent dispute over money, the gunman fatally shoots Roger and flees the scene, but investigators find evidence to suggest that Roger may have hired the intruder himself in a failed attempt at a kidnapping-robbery scheme. Nearly five years later, D.J. receives an anonymous letter from a man claiming to be Roger's killer, who threatens to murder her daughter unless she pays him $100,000. Even after he instructs D.J. to drop off the money at a specified location, he does not show up and breaks off all contact. Were the extortionist and Roger Dean's killer actually the same person? If so, what was his motive for the crime? Did Roger have some dark secrets in his background which led to his death? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we examine a very bizarre and complex case of murder and extortion.Support the Show: Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:https://unsolved.com/gallery/roger-dean/https://coloradocommunitymedia.com/stories/cold-case-files-who-killed-roger-dean,75259http://blogs.denverpost.com/coldcases/2010/12/05/family-of-murdered-businessman-extorted-years-later/1830/

Christmas Eve, 1973. New London, Connecticut. While changing a tire, 20-year old Kevin Showalter is struck by a passing vehicle and killed in a hit-and-run. When the local police botch the investigation and make no effort to solve the case, Kevin's mother is forced to fight for answers on her own. Years later, a grand jury investigation is launched and the town's former mayor is named as the probable driver of the vehicle. However, further complications ensue when another man comes forward and confesses to the crime, creating debate about who was actually responsible for Kevin's death.

April 20, 1989. Circle, Montana. While driving on the wrong side of a rural highway, 37-year old Patricia Meehan gets into a collision with another car. After staring blankly at the vehicle's driver, Patricia walks out onto the prairie and disappears. During the next few months, there would be numerous sightings of a disoriented-woman resembling Patricia. This leads to speculation that the trauma of the car crash caused Patricia to develop amnesia and forget who she was, but she is ultimately never found.Join our Patreon: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcold

Coconino County, Arizona. 28-year old Devin Williams, a long-haul truck driver from Kansas, recklessly drives semi-trailer truck into Tonto National Forest before it becomes stuck in some mud. After Devin exits the truck, witnesses see him displaying bizarre behaviour before he takes off into the woods and disappears. Devin had been in the midst of transporting a shipment from California to Kansas until he drove over 60 miles off-course for unknown reasons. Two years later, Devin's skull is discovered near the bottom of a cliff, but no one can figure out his cause of death or why he wound up in the forest to begin with.Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldhttps://unsolved.com/gallery/devin-williams/https://web.archive.org/web/20140817081532/http://cjonline.com/stories/051697/skull.htmlhttps://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-157772.html

April 16, 2003. Kendall County, Texas. 54-year old Colonel Philip Shue, who works as a staff psychiatrist for the United States Air Force, leaves his residence to drive to work. Two-and-a-half hours later, Colonel Shue's car is seen driving erratically down the interstate before it crashes into some trees and Shue is found dead in the driver's seat. Even though his death is ruled to be a staged suicide, there are a number of suspicious discrepancies, as duct tape is wrapped around Shue's wrists and feet, a large gash is carved into his chest, and both of his nipples have been removed. There is suspicion that Shue's ex-wife had him tortured and killed in order to cash in on some life insurance policies, but even though a judge later makes a public ruling at a civil trial that Shue was the victim of a homicide, his official cause of death is never changed. Did Colonel Shue intentionally crash his car and take his own life, or did was killed while attempting to escape from someone who did him harm?

July 10, 1958. Monterey County, California. 26-year old First Lieutenant Paul Whipkey leaves Fort Ord, the Army base where he is stationed. When he fails to return, he is declared AWOL before being declared a “deserter” 30 days later. Five weeks after he went missing, Whipkey's abandoned car is discovered nearly 500 miles away in a remote section of Death Valley. Since Whipkey's body cannot be found, the Army believes he suffered a mental breakdown and wandered into the desert and died. However, Whipkey's family discovers troubling discrepancies to make them suspect the Army staged his disappearance. In 1982, Whipkey's status is officially changed to “died in the line of duty”, but he is never found and the full truth about what happened to him is not revealed. Could Whipkey have been recruited by the CIA and sent on a secret mission? Or was his disappearance connected to a previous assignment involving atomic testing? We shall explore all the different potential scenarios as we cover a bizarre military-themed mystery on this week's edition on “The Path Went Chilly”.Support the show: Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashley

During a radio transmission, Valentich describes seeing an unidentified flying object and his final words are: “It's hovering and it's not an aircraft”. When eyewitnesses report seeing strange things in the sky that night, speculation mounts that Valentich's disappearance might have been the result of an alien encounter.

Nancy is left comatose, but when she wakes up, she has no memory of the incident. Suspicion turns towards Nancy's 45-year old husband, Thomas Drake, who took out a life insurance policy on her while conducting a secret affair with another woman. Thomas is charged with attempted murder and found guilty at trial, but shortly thereafter, Nancy claims that her memory has returned and she now recalls being attacked by another man. This leads to Thomas receiving a new trial, but he is found guilty a second time and remains incarcerated to this day.

October 8, 2009. Latimer County, Oklahoma. 44-year old Bobby Jamison, his 40-year old wife, Sherilynn Jamison, and their six-year old daughter, Madyson Jamison, leave their home to go look at a plot of land in a remote mountainous area, but never return. Eight days later, their abandoned pick-up truck is discovered on a dirt road located thirty miles from their residence, but even though the family's dog and many of their personal items are locked inside the truck and a bag containing $32,000 is hidden under the driver's seat, the Jamisons are missing. In November 2013, the skeletal remains of Bobby, Sherilynn and Madyson are discovered in a wooded area less than three miles from where their truck had been parked, but since the authorities are unable to determine an exact cause of death, no one knows what actually happened to them.

October 8, 2009. Latimer County, Oklahoma. 44-year old Bobby Jamison, his 40-year old wife, Sherilynn Jamison, and their six-year old daughter, Madyson Jamison, leave their home to go look at a plot of land in a remote mountainous area, but never return. Eight days later, their abandoned pick-up truck is discovered on a dirt road located thirty miles from their residence, but even though the family's dog and many of their personal items are locked inside the truck and a bag containing $32,000 is hidden under the driver's seat, the Jamisons are missing. In November 2013, the skeletal remains of Bobby, Sherilynn and Madyson are discovered in a wooded area less than three miles from where their truck had been parked, but since the authorities are unable to determine an exact cause of death, no one knows what actually happened to them. Were the Jamisons killed by an outside party? Could have they have orchestrated a murder-suicide? Did they simply wander off and succumb to the elements?

December 31, 2010. Wilmington, Delaware. The body of 66-year old Jack Wheeler is discovered in a trash heap at the Cherry Island Landfill and his cause of death is determined to be blunt force trauma. Days earlier, Jack had left his residence in New York City to travel to Delaware and numerous eyewitnesses would report seeing Jack at numerous locations, displaying erratic behaviour which may have been caused by his struggles with bipolar disorder. It is believed that Jack's body was transported to the landfill after he wound up inside a dumpster which was picked up by a garbage truck, but even though investigators think his injuries are consistent with a homicide, the exact circumstances of how Jack died are unclear. Was Jack Wheeler actually the victim of foul play or was his death a tragic accident brought on by a mental health crisis? We shall explore both sides of the case on this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”.If you have any information about this case, please contact Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._Wheeler_IIIhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/he-helped-build-the-vietnam-veterans-memorial-but-his-2010-killing-remains-unsolved/2017/05/23/91442c74-2927-11e7-b605-33413c691853_story.htmlhttp://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/01/03/Prominent-veteran-found-in-landfill/UPI-74381294097675https://web.archive.org/web/20110112023109/http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/01/03/general-us-federal-official-landfill_8234629.htmlhttps://www.foxnews.com/us/witnesses-wheeler-appeared-disoriented-disheveled-prior-to-deathhttps://abcnews.go.com/US/presidential-aide-jack-wheelers-body-found-landfill/story?id=12532638https://www.dailypress.com/military/dp-nws-john-wheeler-day1-20110409-story.htmlhttps://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-04-29-pentagon-official-wheeler-buried-arlington_n.htmhttps://screenrant.com/unsolved-mysteries-jack-john-wheeler-murder-leaves-out/https://www.thewrap.com/unsolved-mysteries-netflix-jack-wheeler-pharmacy-wilmington-delaware/https://unsolved.com/gallery/washington-insider-murder/

April 22, 1985. Vinita Park, Missouri. 27-year old wife and mother Linda Sherman does not show up for her shift at work and her abandoned car is soon discovered in an airport parking garage. Since Linda had recently filed for divorce from her controlling husband, Don Sherman, he is suspected of being responsible for her disappearance. Five years later, a skull is discovered outside Don's favourite restaurant and after it is kept in an evidence room for 14 months, police receive an anonymous note confirming that the skull belongs to Linda. In spite of this, Don maintains his innocence and the rest of Linda's remains are never found. Did Don Sherman murder his wife, dig up her skull and plant it outside the restaurant? If he wasn't responsible, who did kill Linda and what was their motive?

November 1, 2001. State College, Pennsylvania. After spending Halloween night partying at a club with friends, 21-year old Penn State student Cindy Song is dropped off at her apartment complex at 4:00 AM. She is never heard from again, but some of her personal items and a piece of her Halloween costume are found inside her apartment. Years later, an informant tells police that Cindy was abducted and murdered by pair of suspects named Hugo Selenski and Michael Kerkowski. A search of Selenski's property uncovers the remains of several murder victims, including Michael Kerkowski, but no trace of Cindy is found. Was Hugo Selenski actually responsible for Cindy Song's disappearance, or was it another suspect who has yet to show up on the radar? We shall explore an unsolved missing persons case in this month's first Halloween-themed episode of “The  Path Went Chilly”.Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:http://charleyproject.org/case/hyun-jong-songhttps://unsolved.com/gallery/cindy-songhttps://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2009/11/8_years_after_penn_state_stude.html
