July 17, 1966. Hendersonville, North Carolina. A pair of close friends, 43-year old Vernon Shipman and 36-year old Charles Glass, both go missing and Vernon's abandoned car is soon found on a dirt road near his residence. Five days later, Vernon and Charles' bodies are discovered in an isolated area alongside the body of a 61-year old Asheville resident named Louise Davis Shumate and all three victims have been bludgeoned to death. Even though Louise does not appear to have any known connection to Vernon or Charles, multiple witnesses report having seen all three of them inside Vernon's car with an unidentified man prior to their deaths. Decades later, some investigators express their belief that a deceased criminal named Edward Thompson committed the murders, but there is no conclusive evidence to implicate him. Since Vernon and Charles were both gay men, could the murders have been a hate crime? If not, what was the actual motive and how did Louise become mixed up in the whole situation? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore one of the most bizarre unsolved triple homicides you'll ever hear about. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Henderson County Sheriff's Office at (828) 697-4596.

On Labor Day 1993, Shelley Lou Watkins, her husband Jerry, and others gathered at their cedar Creek Lake home to celebrate the holiday. But after an argument broke out between the couple, Shelley disappeared and since the manner in which she was reported missing is suspect at the very least, no searches were conducted. By the time the Henderson County Sheriff's Office found out about the missing mother of two, it was far too late since her body was found floating in the Trinity River by fisherman the very same day. Although a grand jury indicted the prime suspect, he never stood trial and Shelley Lou Watkins's murder remains unsolved.If you have any information about the slaying of 35-year-old Shelley Lou Watkins on Labor Day of 1993, please contact the Henderson County Sheriff's Department at 903-677-6331.You can donate to law enforcement investigations that need funding or upload your DNA into a database used only for law enforcement investigations at DNAsolves.comIf you don't have DNA data from a consumer testing site, you can get a kit at connect.DNAsolves.comYou can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast......and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastThe Texas State Historical Society, The Athens Review, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Corsicana Daily Sun, The Tyler Courier-Times, and the Washington Post were used as sources for this episode.#JusticeForShelleyLouWatkins #Corsicana #CorsicanaTX #Texas #TX #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #UnsolvedMurder #Murder #Unsolved

This interview was recorded at the Henderson County Justice Center on Wednesday, July 14. == This week, Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse talked about the Deputies of the Quarter; the Cops and Kids picnic; and the need for jailers. I. Stats (:40) There are currently 429 in jail with 108 of those being out-of-county inmates. II. Deputies of the Quarter (1:42) Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse recognized the outstanding work of three employees as Deputy of the 2nd Quarter for 2021. Investigator Kenneth Slaton was named Deputy of the Quarter, Sgt. Maria McCarley was named Detention Officer of the Quarter, and Wendy Rollins was named Communications Officer of the Quarter. "They work really hard for this office and for the county," Sheriff Hillhouse said. "I always know if I need something I can pick up the phone and call one of these three individuals and they just always go above and beyond." II. Cops and Kids Picnic (3:50) Sheriff Hillhouse talked about the upcoming Cops and Kids Picnic, which is being planned by Susan Paul. The event will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, at Faith Fellowship Church. There will be hot dogs and drinks, door prizes, and the Sheriff's Office will be there with patrol cars, K-9 units, and the armored vehicle. "Hopefully there will be a great turnout. I think it is going to be a lot of fun," Sheriff Hillhouse said. "It's an opportunity for the community to bring your kids out and get to know your local law enforcement." You will be hearing more about this event as it draws closer. III. Need for Jailers (6:55) The Henderson County Sheriff's Office currently has openings for detention officers. "If you are interested in a career in law enforcement, this is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door," Sheriff Hillhouse said. "This is exactly how I started my career." Those starting out can work under a temporary jailer's license for a year. During that year, the Sheriff's Office will send you to school to get a permanent jailer's license. For those who want to become a peace officer, there are opportunities for the Sheriff's Office to send jailers through the police academy. If you are interested, visit the Sheriff's Office to pick up an application or call the office at 903-675-5128 to get an application emailed to you. "If you want to be a Texas peace officer, you can come to work here and we will get you the training you need to make your goals come true," Sheriff Hillhouse said.

This interview was recorded at the Henderson County Justice Center on Wednesday, July 7. == In this week's episode, Sheriff Botie Hillhouse covered additional charges that were added following an arrest for child pornography, new K-9 deputy Valco, and the near-miraculous restoration of the original Sheriff's Office Facebook page. I. Stats (1:22) At the time of this podcast, there were 417 in custody in the jail; 101 of those are out-of-county contract inmates. We talk all the time on the podcast about the importance of out-of-county inmates because they bring revenue into the county. Sheriff Hillhouse said he is projecting that the jail will make between $1.8 and $1.9 million in 2021 through contract inmates. II. Child Pornography (4:20) Last week, the Sheriff's Office arrested Jose Alfaro in Athens for possessing more than 150 child pornography videos. You can read the original press release here. https://hendersoncountytexas.substack.com/p/sheriff-man-arrested-for-child-pornography Since the arrest, Alfaro has also been charged with the intent to promote child pornography. In addition, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a federal detainer on him because he is in the country illegally. During the podcast, Sheriff Hillhouse discussed how the county has prioritized crimes against children. The Sheriff's Office has three dedicated investigators working on these types of cases. "The statistics will show you that it is needed, unfortunately, here in Henderson County," Sheriff Hillhouse said. III. Welcome Valco (10:18) The newest deputy at the Sheriff's Office is K-9 Valco, who came on board this week. https://twitter.com/HendersonCoTx/status/1413165116850323457?s=19 Sheriff Hillhouse, who was a K-9 handler during his career, discussed the importance of the program and how much ongoing training there is between K-9 and handler. "They pay for themselves three-fold, over and over again, they are well worth their money," he said. Sheriff Hillhouse also pointed out the K-9 program is paid for through drug arrest forfeitures. IV. Facebook Back! (19:13) Sheriff Hillhouse was locked out of Henderson County Sheriff's Office Facebook page on April 6. Since then, he has tried repeatedly to restore access. Well, the page unexpectedly reopened on July 1. Sheriff Hillhouse invites everyone to follow the Facebook page for updates. https://www.facebook.com/Henderson-County-Sheriffs-Office-738877892881451

This interview was recorded at the Henderson County Justice Center on Wednesday, June 30. == In this week's Sheriff's Report, Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse discusses a Seven Points murder, a case involving illegal drugs and credit cards, and Narcan training for the Sheriff's Office. I. Stats (:37) There are currently 424 individuals currently in the Henderson County Jail; 107 of those are out-of-county inmates. II. Murder Suspect (1:45) Joshua Jones, 37, of Seven Points was arrested June 17 after the shooting death of Jason Blake, 44. The Sheriff's Office received calls regarding a disturbance at a residence in the 27000 block of West Oak Ridge Road at approximately 8:15 p.m. When Deputy Luke Rachel arrived on the scene he observed Jones outside the residence and Blake out by the roadway. Deputy Rachel detained Jones and began life-saving measures on Blake but was unsuccessful. According to the initial investigation, shots were fired with a shotgun by the suspect inside and outside the house before the victim was shot in the back and died on the scene. There were multiple witnesses to the offense that were interviewed which confirmed what Investigators had learned during the investigation. There was a child involved in the incident and Sheriff Hillhouse discussed the importance of the Child Advocacy Center in such cases. III. Mushrooms and Credit Cards (7:13) A man was arrested for aggravated assault with a handgun and possession of a substantial amount of illegal mushrooms and methamphetamines on June 19. Earl Kenneth Vess II, 36, was arrested in the 100 block of Arrowhead Street. Earlier, he had brandished a handgun, threatened a woman, and fled from Deputy Jarod Mills on foot. Vess was taken to the County Jail and charged with: Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of methamphetamines, possession of illegal mushrooms, evading arrest, possession of a firearm by a felon, and fraudulent usage of identifying information for the credit cards and social security card he had but were not his. "Identity theft is a big issue," Sheriff Hillhouse said. "People are always trying to seek out your identifying information and use it." IV. Narcan Training (12:18) Members of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office received free Narcan training this week thanks to HOPE Henderson County. "We're glad to be part of this program," Sheriff Hillhouse said. "We're glad they brought this training here for free and are giving us the Narcan for free. It could save a life." HOPE Henderson County includes: -- The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler -- UT Health East Texas Athens -- East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (ETCADA) -- Henderson HELP Center -- East Texas Community Clinic

This interview was recorded at the Henderson County Justice Center Wednesday, June 16. === In this week's Sheriff's Report, Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse spoke about an operation to recover around 30 dogs from a location on the east end of the county Wednesday and gave a warning to Cedar Creek Lake boat owners. I. Stats (:35) The podcast starts as it always does with the stats and this week shows the Sheriff's Office has been busy. The jail booked in 110 individuals over the past week and there are 434 currently in custody. II. Dogs (1:28) The Henderson County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Division, patrol deputies, and the Athens Animal Rescue Shelter were on the east end of the county to recover about 30 dogs on Wednesday. The dogs are mixed breed. Sheriff Hillhouse said it wasn't a breeder, but rather a pet owner who wound up with too many. "Basically, it just spun out of control," he said. "They weren't neutered." The Sheriff said most animal control cases in the county are like this and not usually breeders. The best way to avoid this situation is to neuter your animals. Sheriff Hillhouse praised the Athens Animal Rescue Shelter for their help and urged listeners to support the Shelter. You can do that by following their Facebook page and responding when they run short on supplies. https://www.facebook.com/AthensAnimalRescue III. Boat Security (9:43) Sheriff Hillhouse said his office has recently received reports of boats being vandalized on Cedar Creek Lake. He said it appeared someone was trying to steal the boats. He said owners often tie their boats up after using them and never check on them again until the next time they are ready to go out on the water. That makes the boats an easy target, and makes it difficult for deputies to determine when a crime was committed. "Check your boats every day," he said, "make sure nothing is missing." Sheriff Hillhouse said the Sheriff's Office is patrolling the lake looking for suspicious activity, but he wanted to warn owners of what is happening. "Please watch your property because there are people out there right now trying to take it and vandalize it," he said.

Our conversation with Bill Loucks went around the perception cops have on hemp and cannabis, how consumers and businesses in the industry can contribute to a safer use and what further is there to do about a broader awareness of hemp. Bill started with a couple stories that led to his mindset switch from regarding hemp as a dangerous substance to becoming a commodity. Moving on, Bill shared his view on law enforcement pointing out that most police officers are unaware of the difference between hemp and cannabis, which leads to confusion and also strengthens stereotypes. Following the latter, he listed best practice tips for consumers and businesses in the hemp industry, to support the authorities to determine the legality of the product being used or manufactured. For growers, he explained why it is important to communicate with the police on harvest season. Bill finished with his consideration on the next step in the transition to greater social acceptance around hemp-derived products.
