On Thanksgiving Day in 1982, the body of Ruth Elizabeth Bettis was found in a field in rural Travis County. She was last seen leaving her place of employment, Sugar's adult entertainment, the evening before with a mystery man. The seemingly contradicting two worlds in which she lived, that of a coed and that of a topless dancer, made the Travis County Sheriff's Department's investigation unusual...and difficult. Though a serial rapist and a cop were scrutinized for Elizabeth's slaying, a lack of evidence had prevented movement on the case, and it remains unsolved today.If you have any information about the murder of Ruth Elizabeth Bettis please call Texas Crime Stoppers at 800 252 8477.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In October 2001, the dismembered remains of seventy-one-year-old Morris Black were found floating in Galveston Bay. A few days later, Black's neighbor, Robert Durst, was arrested on suspicion of murder and released on $250,000 bail. After posting bail, Durst jumped bail and disappeared for six weeks, before being arrested by Pennsylvania authorities at the end of November.In the years that followed, investigators and prosecutors began combing through Durst's life, discovering disturbing connections between the excentric millionaire and the mysterious disappearances and deaths of several people who were once close to Durst. Robert Durst had been a suspect in the murder of Morris Black, but was it possible he was in fact a multiple murderer who'd evaded detection for decades?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 2001.

A Texas House bill would eliminate the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness test and replace it with a test comparing students' performance to one another rather than state-set standards, the Austin American Statesman reported.

Welcome to season 2 episode 12 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long COVID Podcast! This week's guest is Katie Drackert, who most of you will know as @kd_kinetic. Katie is the founder of Clear the Air ATX, a volunteer-led, community resource library that lends out air purifiers and other COVID mitigation tools for free to artists, musicians, and independent event producers in Austin, Texas - where I lived for many years and sadly had to leave due to my COVID experience. In the pre-rona days, Katie primarily worked full time as a performance artist. When Omicron hit, things changed. In this episode, we discuss our personal experiences with chronic health issues, including long COVID, and the challenges we face managing our symptoms while advocating for ourselves and others. We share our experiences with medical treatments, their emotional impacts, and the importance of community support and self-care. The conversation also touches on our backgrounds - which are really similar despite our age difference (I am an old) as well as our many shared interests, and future plans for advocacy work and creative projects that we are both plotting.

In early December 1984, not long after the disappearances of 23-year-olds Catherine Davis and Cindy Heller, 21-year-old Angela Ewert spent an evening getting sized for an engagement ring. After leaving her fiance's house to head to her home in west Arlington, Angela stopped for gas at a southwest Fort Worth 7-Eleven convenience store. She was never seen alive again. The following day, her father found her maroon, 1984 Mercury Topaz abandoned on the 300 block of Southeast Interstate Loop 820. A tire had been changed, but there were no obvious signs of violence. After several large-scale searches over the next couple of years, the Ewert Family, and police, continually came up empty handed. Nearly nine years later, the answer to one question was finally answered: where was she?If you have any information about the murder of Angela Leigh Ewert, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.Search @gonecoldpodcast at all or just click linknbio.com/gonecoldpodcast Sources: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News, The Austin American Statesman, digital.library.unt.edu, and texashistory.unt.edu #JusticeForAngelaEwert #FortWorth #FWT #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #Unsolved #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #UnsolvedMysteries #TrueCrime #Homicide #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #CrimeStories #PodcastRecommendations #SerialKiller #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeJunkie #MysteryPodcast #TrueCrimeObsessed #CrimeDocs #InvestigationDiscovery #PodcastAddict #TrueCrimeFan #CriminalJustice #ForensicFiles #TrueCrimeAddict #TrueCrimeLovers #CrimeScene #PodcastLifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Mike Cox's name is synonymous with Texas crime reporting.  Cox spent decades covering grisly crimes, working as a police beat reporter and later as the Chief of Media Relations for the Texas Department of Public Safety and authoring books about the Texas Rangers.  His latest book, Getting Away with Murder: Learning from Dateline and Other True Crime Shows, blends his sharp wit with his vast experience in law enforcement, offering readers a tongue-in-cheek take on crime and the often bizarre ways criminals get caught.  As an enterprising police beat reporter for the Austin American Statesman, Mike broke the story about serial killer Henry Lee Lucas' courtroom confession to 100 murders. Mike extensively interviewed Lucas in jail and wrote the definitive book about the case, The Confessions of Henry Lee Lucas. During our interview, Cox reflects on his lifelong immersion in storytelling, his family's deep connection to journalism, and how true crime shows like Dateline rekindled his passion for the subject.

After a prolonged legal battle, the city of Uvalde, Texas, has released a series of audio and video recordings connected to the tragic 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The devastating event claimed the lives of 21 individuals, including 19 students and two adults. These recordings, made public following a lawsuit filed by several news outlets, including the Associated Press, CNN, and the Austin American-Statesman, offer a chilling glimpse into the chaos and fear that unfolded during the horrific event. Among the communications released were 911 calls made during the shooting, capturing the desperate pleas of students and teachers trapped inside the school. One of the most heart-wrenching calls was made by 10-year-old Khloie Torres, who was trapped in a classroom where the gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, had opened fire. "Please, I don't want to die. My teacher is dead. Oh my God," Khloie told the dispatcher, describing the scene around her with a trembling voice. "A lot of people are gone," she added, referring to the many victims who had already succumbed to the gunman's bullets. The recordings also revealed the chaos and confusion among law enforcement as they attempted to respond to the crisis. The police response included nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents, 91 state police officials, as well as school and city police. Despite the overwhelming presence of law enforcement, the response was slow and disorganized, with dozens of officers standing in the hallway, uncertain of their next move. Meanwhile, terrified students and teachers continued to make desperate 911 calls, begging for help as the gunman continued his deadly rampage. The gunman, Salvador Ramos, entered Robb Elementary School at 11:33 a.m., first firing shots from the hallway before entering two adjoining fourth-grade classrooms. The first officers arrived minutes later, but they retreated after Ramos opened fire on them, leaving the children and teachers inside to fend for themselves. As the minutes ticked by, the Uvalde Police Department's radio traffic remained focused on setting up a perimeter around the school, controlling traffic, and managing the crowd of desperate parents who had gathered outside, pleading for officers to go in and save their children. At 12:06 p.m., the chaos was still palpable as officers struggled to establish a command post, with one officer lamenting that they lacked the manpower to both manage the perimeter and deal with the situation inside. "They're trying to push in," one officer said, referring to the frantic parents outside. By 12:16 p.m., a SWAT team from Austin, located 162 miles away, was en route to the scene, but local police still struggled to provide coherent information about the situation inside the school. It wasn't until 12:50 p.m., nearly 80 minutes after Ramos began his attack, that a tactical team finally entered one of the classrooms and fatally shot him. The delayed response has been heavily criticized in multiple reports, including a U.S. Justice Department review that highlighted the lack of urgency in establishing a command center, which led to confusion among officers about who was in charge. The report, along with other federal and state investigations, pointed to cascading failures in law enforcement training, communication, leadership, and technology. Some reports even questioned whether officers had prioritized their own safety over that of the children and teachers trapped inside. Adding to the tragedy, Ramos had shot and wounded his grandmother before driving to the school, where he carried out his attack. His uncle, Armando Ramos, made several frantic 911 calls, begging to be connected to his nephew in hopes of talking him down. "Everything I tell him, he does listen to me," Armando said, his voice cracking. "Maybe he could stand down or do something to turn himself in." His desperate pleas, however, came too late; by the time he made contact, the shooting had already ended, and Salvador Ramos had been killed by law enforcement. In the aftermath, two officers involved in the response have faced criminal charges. Former Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arredondo and former school officer Adrian Gonzales have pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of child abandonment and endangerment. Arredondo, in a recent interview with CNN, claimed he has been “scapegoated” for the botched response. The release of these recordings has reignited conversations about accountability and the need for reform in law enforcement responses to critical situations. Families of the victims have called for more officers to be charged and have filed federal and state lawsuits against law enforcement, social media, online gaming companies, and the gun manufacturer that produced the rifle used by the gunman. As the legal battles continue, the community of Uvalde remains haunted by the events of that tragic day, with many still seeking justice for the lives lost.

In May of 1983, 35-year-old Esther Broberg was dropped off by her husband at an after hours drinking joint in East Austin, Texas. There, she hung out with her close friend and some others. Just as the sun threatened to rise, the group parted ways. But Esther never made it home. Instead, just a few hours later, passersby at EH Givens Park, not far from where she'd been, discovered Esther Broberg's body. The scene was shocking; the violence acted out on the mother of two was unfathomable. Unforgivable. The Austin Police quickly developed suspects in the case, and a series of confessions, but there could be no trial. Even after one of the suspect's DNA matched evidence found on Esther's body a couple decades later, the same roadblocks remained. If you have any information about the abduction, rape, and murder of Esther Gevara Broberg, please call the Austin Police Department Homicide Tip line at 512-477-3588.

Managing editor of the Clifton Record, W. Leon Smith, continued working both Judy Whitley and Mickey Bryan's cases for years. In 1999, when ex-Clifton policeman Dennis Murry Dunlap was officially named Judy's killer, Leon was almost certain Joe Bryan hadn't murdered his wife Mickey but couldn't find the evidence to exonerate him. A few years later, a Waco attorney began looking into Joe's case and was appalled at the lack of evidence he was convicted on. It was this attorney's student at Baylor University Law, Jessica Freud, however, that inarguably proved Joe Dale Bryan should not have been convicted. Still, an old school, old guard Texas judge wasn't willing to write the wrong the state had made.Support the Texas Innocence Project at innocencetexas.orgYou can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

On the morning of August 1, 1966, twenty-five-year-old Charles Whitman arrived at the University of Texas Austin campus a little before noon, carrying with him several rifles, pistols, and a shotgun contained within a military footlocker. After talking his way past a guard, Whitman climbed to the twenty eighth floor of the campus clocktower and walked out onto the observation deck, then began firing at the people on the ground below. In the span of a just over an hour and half, Charles Whitman killed fifteen people and wounded thirty-one others before finally being shot and killed by a police officer who'd managed to make his way to the top of the tower. Investigators later learned that, prior to arriving on the UT campus, Whitman had also murdered his mother and his wife.In 1966, mass shootings were virtually unheard of in the United States and Whitman's spree killing shocked the nation. By most accounts, Charles Whitman was the picture of an all-American man, which made his actions all the more confusing. He was well-liked, had a successful military career, a beautiful wife, and once out of the military, he began pursuing a college degree in preparation for the next phase of his life. But behind the façade of American middle-class success lurked a deeply troubled man whose personal history and acute medical problems would eventually go a long way to explaining his actions on the morning of August 1.Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesAustin American-Statesman. 1966.

When thirty-eight-year-old Steven Robards died unexpectedly in the winter of 1993, everyone including the coroner believed his death to have been the result of a heart attack—unusual for someone so young, but certainly not unheard of. It wasn't until the following year, when Steven's teenage daughter, Marie, was practicing for the school play, that the girl confessed the truth to her friend: Steven Robards didn't die from a heart attack, he was murdered by his daughter with chemicals she'd stolen from the high school chemistry lab.In the United States, it's exceedingly rare for a child to kill a parent, and rarer still for that child to be female. The truth about Steven Robards murder shocked the residents of the Fort Worth area and divided the community between those who were sympathetic to her claims of desperation and those who saw her as nothing more than a craven predator who'd do anything to get what she wanted. Indeed, Marie claimed she had only wanted to make her father sick so she could return to living with her mother, from whom she'd been separated since her parents' divorce, and she had never wanted to kill him.Ultimately a jury didn't buy Marie's story and sentenced her to twenty-seven years in prison, of which she served only seven years before being paroled. Was Marie Robards really just a confused teenager who acted impulsive without regard for the consequences of her actions? Or was she really the calculating self-serving killer some believed her to be?Thank you to David White, of the Bring Me the Axe podcast, for research assistance!ReferencesBlaney, Betsy. 1997.
