Just days after Roxanne Paltauf vanished from a Budget Inn near Interstate 35 and Rundberg Lane in Austin, her missing ID surfaced in the wallet of a violent offender arrested after an assault at a neighboring motel. Detectives soon discovered that this man and Roxanne's boyfriend, Louis Walls, offered conflicting stories about how he came into possession of it.As Roxanne's family continued searching Austin's Rundberg neighborhood, they encountered Loretta Lynn Roberts, a woman who promised to help find Roxanne. Less than two weeks later, Roberts was found dead in a vacant lot south of downtown. Her murder remains unsolved, and Roxanne's family has long questioned whether the two cases are connected.Over the years, Roxanne's loved ones organized searches, erected billboards, and kept her story in the public eye as investigators pursued leads across Texas and beyond. New allegations against Louis Walls, a major FBI-backed search near the motel, and newly discovered cellphone records only deepened the mystery surrounding what happened on July 7, 2006. Nearly twenty years later, Roxanne remains missing, and detectives continue to consider both Louis Walls and Geoffrey Moore persons of interest.Part two of two.Roxanne's family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction, or for information that leads to finding her remains. If you have any information about what happened to Roxanne Elizabeth Paltauf, you can submit a tip anonymously at roxannepaltauf.com or call the Austin Police Department at (512) 974-5250.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Mike is back in the big chair on Sunday! Cincinnati experienced some flooding in the area the other day. Cars were floating down the road; Interstate 71 was closed and more. Do we not have flood gates? Did they not work as expected? Also, President Trump had a speech on the 2020 election "fraud". Is it time to move on? Have we been stuck on this for too long? He also wraps up the show with Patrick Regan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interview with Marshall Garvey, author of "Interstate 85 the Royals the Cardinals, and the Show Me World Series".

One of St. Paul's longest-running community celebrations returns Saturday. Rondo Days began in the 1980s as a way to celebrate the historic Rondo neighborhood, honor the families who built it and preserve the community's history after residents were displaced by the construction of Interstate 94.Saturday's celebration at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center in St. Paul will feature live music, local food, art and sports. Merina Neal and Gayle Smaller, organizers of the event, spoke with MPR News host Nina Moini about why the day means so much to them.

A planned wildlife crossing on Interstate 5 south of Ashland has secured $33 million in federal funding. Construction is expected to begin in 2027.

A national effort, entitled the “Reimagining America's Interstates” initiative, is collecting comments on new interstate facility suggestions, feedback on major upgrades needed on existing routes, and how the system can better meet the needs of the 21st century traveling public. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced this new initiative during a June 30 media event that also celebrated the 70th anniversary of the “Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways,” created when President Dwight Eisenhower signed into law the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, along with the unveiling of “Freedom 250” highway signs in celebration of that anniversary. On this week's Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, Jim Tymon, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), who participated in the event, talks about what the Interstate system has meant to the country and what could come out of the initiative. The initiative will spur renewed conversation about the benefits of the system as well as some unintended consequences and focus on ideas for improvement.

Scot and Jeff discuss Sleater-Kinney with Nic Rowan. Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Nic Rowan. Nic is managing editor of The Lamp, a Catholic literary journal. You can follow him on Twitter/x @NicXTempore.  Nic's Music Pick: Sleater-Kinney When people talk about the greatest American rock bands of the past 30 years, the conversation usually starts in familiar places (we might say Spoon around these parts). But sooner or later, it ought to arrive at a discussion of Sleater-Kinney. The band, named after Sleater Kinney Road in Washington near Interstate 5, formed in the Pacific Northwest during the explosion of the riot grrrl movement. Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and, eventually, Janet Weiss built a sound that was fiercely intelligent without being pretentious and musically adventurous without ever losing sight of the hook. Their records are packed with jagged guitars, knotty rhythms, and thrilling vocal interplay, all delivered with an urgency that never feels manufactured.  Part of what makes Sleater-Kinney such a compelling subject is that they're difficult to pigeonhole. They're often introduced first as an important feminist band, or a cornerstone of riot grrrl, or a political band, and all of those descriptions contain some truth. But they can also obscure the bigger picture. Strip away the labels, and what's left is an extraordinary rock band, one with a distinctive musical language and an uncanny ability to make tension sound exhilarating.  Over the course of a remarkable run, the band continually reinvented itself without abandoning its identity. Dig Me Out and One Beat get universal praise on this show, while there's great debate over the generally well-regarded The Woods. And what to make of the comeback after a decade away? We trace that entire journey and discuss why Sleater-Kinney remains one of the essential bands of modern American rock. If you know them, you know why they matter. If you don't, you're about to find out. Join us for a deep look at the music and career of Sleater-Kinney. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In July 2006, eighteen-year-old Roxanne Paltauf vanished from a Budget Inn near Interstate 35 and Rundberg Lane in Austin, Texas. Just hours earlier, she had promised her mother she would be home the next morning.Roxanne was the oldest of five children and shared an immensely close relationship with her family. She was working toward her GED, holding multiple jobs, and planning for her future. But those closest to her worried about her volatile relationship. After she went missing, her boyfriend Louis Reginald Walls called and claimed the couple had argued and that she stormed out of their motel room carrying nothing. He said she left behind her purse, jewelry, clothing, and cellphone, a story that immediately alarmed her family, who knew Roxanne never went anywhere without her belongings.As detectives began looking into her disappearance, after initially treating her case as little more than a lover's spat, troubling details emerged. Walls waited nearly twenty-four hours to report Roxanne missing and continued using her cellphone in the days after she vanished. Friends and family also shared allegations of abuse and growing concerns about the relationship.Despite mounting suspicions, The Austin Police lacked the evidence needed to prove a crime had occurred.Twenty years later, Roxanne Paltauf remains missing.Part one of two.Roxanne's family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction — or for information that leads to finding her remains.

Twenty-two-year-old Mercedes Marianna Vega left her Tempe, Arizona apartment for work on the evening of April 16, 2023. Surveillance cameras captured her walking through her apartment parking garage just moments before she disappeared. Hours later, firefighters responding to a burning car along Interstate 10 made a horrifying discovery. According to investigators, Mercedes had been abducted, tortured, and her death became one of Arizona's most disturbing recent homicide investigations. As detectives retraced Mercedes' final hours, they uncovered a connection to an armed robbery three years earlier. Mercedes had identified a suspect and was scheduled to testify in court the very next day. Prosecutors now allege her killing was part of a plan to prevent that testimony, leading investigators through fingerprints, surveillance footage, phone records, and evidence spanning multiple states. The robbery case has since resulted in convictions, while the separate murder case remains ongoing. Prosecutors have charged multiple defendants, all of whom have pleaded not guilty, and the allegations have not yet been tested at trial. As the case continues to develop, investigators and Mercedes' family are still seeking justice for the 22-year-old whose life was cut tragically short. Learn more about your ad choices.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December 06, 2021Weird Darkness maps the ground where the dead are hidden, traveling from America's most notorious body-dumping fields to a cursed quarter-mile of Florida interstate and a strangled German lace salesman pulled from the Staten Island mud in 1891.It opens with the dump sites scattered across the United States, where unidentified victims are still pulled from soil and water decades after they were left. In the New York Central Pine Barrens of Long Island, as many as eleven bodies have surfaced, four of them between 2000 and 2003 and two decapitated, in killings attributed to the Butcher of Manorville. Lake Tahoe keeps its secrets through physics rather than concealment, its thousand-foot depths holding a near-constant 39 degrees that stops bodies—rumored to date to Mafia disposals in the 1950s—from decomposing enough to float. Sugar planter Edgar Watson terrorized the Florida Everglades in the early 1900s, allegedly killing laborers each harvest to dodge their wages, and in 2016 two alligators were found feeding on a corpse in the same swamp. Leakin Park in Baltimore has given up roughly 70 bodies since 1946, while the Texas Killing Fields along I-45 between Houston and Galveston have yielded 30 since 13-year-old Colette Wilson vanished in 1971—among them Krystal Jean Baker, whose 1986 murder was tied to Kevin Edison Smith by DNA in 2012. Over 100 bodies have come out of the Mojave Desert, sending photographer William Bradford and William Floyd Zamastil to prison, and the still-unidentified Gilgo Beach killer dumped as many as 17 victims along Ocean Parkway, three of them strangled, bagged in burlap, and linked to the Long Island Serial Killer. Pelham Bay Park concealed at least 65 bodies between 1986 and 1995, the East River surrendered 26 in the spring of 2010 alone, and Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to ending at least 49 women's lives.From there the episode turns to bodies found where no one thinks to look. Canadian student Elisa Lam decomposed for as long as 19 days inside a rooftop water cistern at Downtown Los Angeles's Cecil Hotel while guests drank and bathed from the same supply and complained the water tasted off. In Xi'an, China, a woman starved to death trapped in an elevator over the Chinese New Year, her hands mangled from a month of clawing at the doors after workers skipped a required inspection. Elmer McCurdy, killed by police in 1911 after robbing a train of $46 and two jugs of whiskey, was embalmed with arsenic and toured carnivals as a sideshow attraction until a film crew for The Six Million Dollar Man snapped his arm off at a Long Beach amusement park in 1976 and found bone beneath the wax; he was finally buried in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1977. A Disneyland Paris worker was electrocuted behind the scenes of the Phantom Manor ride in 2016, a German mother kept three of her infants in freezer wrapping for some 30 years until her grown children uncovered them while digging for frozen pizza, and Joshua Maddox, missing since 2008, was discovered seven years later wedged in the chimney of his parents' Colorado cabin with no sign of injury.Next comes a quarter-mile of Interstate 4 near Lake Monroe, Florida, that locals call the Dead Zone. The asphalt covers four unmarked graves of Dutch immigrants who died in the Yellow Fever epidemic that erased the 1870s settlement of St. Joseph's, graves that landowner Albert Hawkins fenced and protected after stumbling on them in 1905, and which earned a reputation for lightning strikes, house fires, and a fatal hit-and-run befalling anyone who disturbed them. The state promised to relocate the remains before construction but paved over them, and as work began in 1960 Hurricane Donna changed course to follow the road's path; the highway opened in 1963 with a deadly truck crash at that exact spot. Somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 accidents have clustered along the short stretch since, Hurricane Charley retraced Donna's route over it in 2004, and drivers report their radios filling with growls, children's laughter, and disembodied voices in a place with no nearby transmitters.The episode closes with the 1891 murder of Karl Emanuel Ruttinger, a German lace salesman from Dresden whose body watchman Samuel Mortin found half-floating in the mud below Tottenville, Staten Island, his arms bound behind his back and a linen handkerchief monogrammed "W.W." rammed down his throat with a stick. Suspicion fell on his brother-in-law, William Wright, who had sailed with him from Liverpool and shared his boarding-house room, yet Wright stood only five-foot-four at 120 pounds, far too slight to overpower a six-foot, 200-pound man alone. The trail twisted through a throat-cutting suicide at the Astor House by a man calling himself Fred Evans, a string of conflicting witness identifications, and the discovery that Ruttinger's life had been insured for more than $20,000 just a month before the voyage—raising the possibility that the corpse was not Ruttinger at all. A Tottenville inquest ruled that it was indeed Ruttinger, suffocated by persons unknown, and in 1892 the Equitable Life Assurance Society paid his mother Therese roughly $22,000, conceding privately that settling was cheaper than proving the fraud they suspected.

Hour 2

Mike gets a tutorial on The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.Inside California's Gay-Certification ProgramThe state is pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts to “LGBT” businesses.The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California's 39 million residents.In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.After hours of public comment and sometimes heated debate at the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board meeting on Wednesday, board members voted to begin decommissioning the Minnehaha off-leash recreation area. All but one board member supported the decision, which is part of the Minnehaha Regional Park long-term plan.The board heard from dozens of people, including many dog owners who said they have been using the park for more than 30 years. Members of the Indigenous community argued the land is a sacred Dakota site with thousands of years of history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 1992, six murders occurred just off Interstate 70 in the states of Indiana, Kansas, and Missouri. At first, these appeared to be random on-off murders. They were committed many miles apart, and each law enforcement agency was unaware of the others. Eventually, they were linked through ballistics.Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss these baffling murders committed on the long stretch of roadway known as Interstate 70. The killer had a very distinctive MO. He picked smaller shops where most likely only one employee would be working, and most often that employee would be a woman. He used a .22 gun to commit the murders and didn't always take all of the cash in the store. Many people believe that the killer moved on to Texas to commit similar murders there.You can help support the show at Patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation information An Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is a distinct kind of terror that only manifests when you find yourself trapped at midnight on a rural highway. We are talking about cornfields. Those endless green labyrinths specifically engineered to induce a state of primal panic in the human nervous system. In this episode, we push past the rustling stalks into a crack in reality. We track the bone-white, skeletal toddlers sprinting across isolated Illinois backroads; we take a smoke-break on the loading docks of a Minnesota cheese factory while jerky, robotic abominations dance out of the dark. We flee at full speed alongside a screaming woman in Indiana as a four-foot engine of pure evil pursues her. From red-eyed "corn demons" watching the country highways to blood-soaked, pale teenagers hitchhiking through a liminal void on Interstate 55, this is a dispatch from the edge of the field. Grab your flashlight, turn your jumper inside out to ward off the hostile Irish Fae, and pray your headlights don't die. Because out here, the crickets are dead silent, and the corn is a living wall closing in for the kill. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Creatures of the Corn! #creepstreetpodcast #comedypodcast #horrorpodcast #truecrime #supernatural #paranormal #UFOs

A fireside chat from ACT-IAC's Emerging Tech and Innovation Conference with Seval Oz, senior advisor (and nominee for assistant secretary) in USDOT's Office of Research and Technology, and Amy McKenna of SAIC. Oz describes how DOT migrated to Google-based workspace IT and uses large language models to cut RFI analysis from six weeks to 24–48 hours. She explains the “Interstate 2.0” corridors initiative, where 23 states are forming adjoining-state teams to enable data interoperability across major routes (including I-10 and I-35) and prioritize a first use case of work zones and lane closures, convening states, industry, and academia.Become a Member | ACT-IAC Summary - A Hole in One with ACT-IACSubscribe on your favorite podcast platform to never miss an episode!

How did the Austin City Council find themselves locked in a ‘death match' over what to do about Interstate 35? Two councilors and two journalists talk through the fraught politics of so-called highway caps. Guests: Megan Kimble, Nathan Bernier, José “Chito” Vela, Mike SiegelRecorded live at the KUT Festival in Austin, TX.

A small white shack near the entrance to Interstate 94 has puzzled Minneapolis commuters for years. It's boarded up, rarely noticed, and easy to dismiss as an abandoned shed. But behind it lies a heartwarming city story. After a Curious Minnesota listener asked about the structure, reporter Alicia Eller discovered it was once a thriving newsstand run by Arne Paulson, a legally blind newspaper vendor whose determination inspired an entire community. Café owners, waitresses, and neighborhood regulars raised money and built the stand for him in 1963, helping him launch a business that served Minneapolis for more than a decade and a half. Host Erica Pearson and reporter Alicia Eler explore Arne's life, his impact on the neighborhood, and why this modest little building remains standing today as a quiet reminder of a different era.

When firefighters responded to a car burning off the side of Interstate 10 in Arizona, it looked like a routine highway fire. But hidden inside the vehicle was the body of 22-year-old Mercedes Vega, and investigators quickly realized this was one of the most horrifying cases they had ever encountered. As detectives dug into Mercedes' final hours, they uncovered a trail of disturbing clues: blood in her apartment parking garage, surveillance footage capturing her last known moments alive, abandoned vehicles, and evidence suggesting she may have been targeted long before the night she disappeared….If you're new here, don't forget to follow the show for weekly deep dives into the darkest true crime cases!
