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 Path Went Chilly”, 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.Support the show: Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:https://hendersonheritage.com/unsolved-triple-murder/https://www.goupstate.com/story/news/2016/07/18/1966-triple-murder-still-sends-shock-waves-through-hendersonville/4570754007/https://www.boldlife.com/wild-life/https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Vernon_Shipman,_Charles_Glass,_and_Louise_Shumate

March 18, 1991. Azalea, Oregon. Two-year old Tommy Gibson goes missing from the front yard of his rural home. Tommy's father, Larry Gibson, who happens to be a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, claims that his son vanished while he was out jogging and later tells the authorities that his daughter witnessed Tommy get abducted by an unidentified couple driving a pick-up truck. However, investigators notice a number of suspicious discrepancies which make them believe that Larry caused Tommy's death and covered up what he did by disposing of his son's body. Larry is eventually charged with the crime and convicted of second-degree manslaughter and serves nearly three years in prison, but he continually maintains his innocence and no trace of Tommy is ever found. Was Larry Gibson actually responsible for the disappearance of his son? Or was the boy the victim of a stranger abduction? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly ”, we explore a very frustrating missing children's case which still has a number of unanswered questions.

October 23, 1987. Arlington, Texas. 43-year old Patsy Wright phones up her sister in the middle of the night to complain that she has become nauseous after taking some NyQuil, but collapses during the call and soon passes away. An autopsy eventually reveals that Patsy was poisoned after strychnine was put in her NyQuil. The investigation would uncover multiple suspects with a motive to murder Patsy, but no evidence to implicate anyone.

May 31, 1995. Goderich, Ontario. After leaving her school, 16-year old Mistie Murray fails to return home and is subsequently reported missing. Even though there are several eyewitness sightings placing Mistie at numerous locations in the weeks following her disappearance, police focus their attention on her adoptive father, Steve Murray. Over three months later, Steve is arrested for Mistie's murder after he is accused using his boat to dump her body in Lake Huron. However, since there is virtually no evidence against Steve, he winds up being acquitted when he goes on trial. Did Steve suffer the dubious distinction of being prosecuted for a nonexistent murder? If Mistie was not a victim of foul play and ran away of her own accord, what ultimately happened to her?

August 3, 1980. AuSable Township, Michigan. 20-year old Cherita Thomas borrows her friend's car in order to pick up her daughter from a babysitter, but the vehicle breaks down before she arrives. Witnesses see Cherita climbing into a blue pick-up truck driven by a white male, but she is never heard from again. Jimmie Allen Nelson, the babysitter's brother-in-law, is suspected of harming Cherita in a racially motivated hate crime, and even though Cherita's body is not found, Nelson is charged and convicted of her murder three decades later. However, Nelson's conviction is overturned when newly discovered evidence surfaces which reportedly implicates another suspect, so the murder charge against him is dismissed in 2014. Was Jimmie Allen Nelson actually responsible for Cherita Thomas' disappearance? If not, then what actually happened to her?

July 27, 2009. Placentia, California. 81-year old Bob Harrod is discovered to be missing from his home and he has left his car and his eyeglasses behind. One month earlier, Bob had gotten married to Fontelle Heeter, a former spouse whom he had not seen in six decades, and she was scheduled to move in with him two days after he disappeared. Since Bob has a substantial net worth, the division of his estate causes a lot of friction between Fontelle and Bob's daughters. There is speculation that Bob's financial situation played a role in his disappearance, but he is never found and there is no physical evidence to indicate what happened to him. On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore the tragic case of Bob Harrod, whose life suddenly transitioned from a heartwarming love story to a baffling unsolved mystery.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Placentia Police Department at (714) 993-8164.Support the show:Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:http://charleyproject.org/case/robert-merle-harrodhttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-feb-02-la-me-disappeared3-2010feb03-story.htmlhttps://abc7ny.com/archive/6939639/https://people.com/crime/elderly-man-disappeared-after-marrying-high-school-sweetheart-went-missing/https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/07/30/after-4-year-search-missing-placentia-mans-wife-suspects-foul-play/https://www.orangecoast.com/features/vanished-orange-countys-infamous-cold-cases-bob-harrod/https://ktla.com/news/local-news/50k-reward-offered-in-2009-killing-of-placentia-man-who-vanished-after-marrying-high-school-sweetheart/https://www.ocregister.com/two-persons-of-interest-in-2009-disappearance-of-placentia-millionaire-arrested-later-releasedhttps://spectrumnews1.com/ca/orange-county/news/2019/06/04/two-persons-of-interest-in-2009-disappearance-of-millionaire-releasedhttps://disappearedblog.com/robert-harrod/

July 26, 1993. Llanharry, Wales. 65-year old Harry Tooze and his 67-year old wife, Megan Tooze, are both shot to death at their remote farm before their bodies are hidden inside the cowshed. The investigation eventually focuses on Jonathan Jones, the boyfriend of the Toozes' daughter, and after his thumbprint is found on a saucer inside the farmhouse, he is charged with the murders. While Jonathan is found guilty of the crime and sentenced to life imprisonment, the Court of Appeal deems his conviction to be unsafe and he is released from prison one year later. If Jonathan Jones was not responsible for the murders of Harry and Megan Tooze, then who was? And what could their motive have been?

August 15, 1958. Boulder County, Colorado. While attending Camp St. Malo, a Catholic boys' summer camp, a ten-year old hearing-impaired boy named Bobby Bizup vanishes without a trace. Nearly one year later, some of Bobby's skeletal remains are discovered on a mountainside three miles from the camp and it is initially believed that he got lost and died of exposure. However, an investigation into child sexual abuse allegations against Catholic priests eventually reveals that some of these accused individuals worked as counsellors at Camp St. Malo during the time period Bobby went missing. In 2021, a man comes forward and provides the authorities with a skull which he claims had been given to him by his father. While DNA testing has not yet been performed, there is speculation that the skull belonged to Bobby and that foul play and a cover-up may have taken place. On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore the unexplained death of Bobby Bizup, which has recently returned to the spotlight because of a shocking scandal.If you have any information about this case, please call the National Park Services' Investigative Services Branch tip line at (888) 653-0009.Additional Reading:https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/what-happened-to-bobby-bizup-colorado-catholic-summer-camp/73-3df3dd44-eb90-4174-8b0a-865476e2a0fdhttps://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/bobby-bizup-skull/73-40ab340e-6db2-431d-bf97-1baf8cf1d034https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/priest-sex-abuse-report-church-camp-1958-when-deaf-boy-disappeared/73-31c23f99-ebb1-422a-b949-2c05e4971ee3“Mystery on Mt.

On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore the unexplained death of Bobby Bizup, which has recently returned to the spotlight because of a shocking scandal.If you have any information about this case, please call the National Park Services' Investigative Services Branch tip line at (888) 653-0009.Additional Reading:https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/what-happened-to-bobby-bizup-colorado-catholic-summer-camp/73-3df3dd44-eb90-4174-8b0a-865476e2a0fdhttps://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/bobby-bizup-skull/73-40ab340e-6db2-431d-bf97-1baf8cf1d034https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/priest-sex-abuse-report-church-camp-1958-when-deaf-boy-disappeared/73-31c23f99-ebb1-422a-b949-2c05e4971ee3“Mystery on Mt.

November 7, 1997. New York City. 54-year old Michael Sullivan and his 36-year old girlfriend, Camden Sylvia, vanish without explanation from their loft in Manhattan and are reported missing six days later. Suspicion falls upon the couple's landlord, Robert Rodriguez, who was involved in a dispute with them prior to their disappearances and refuses to cooperate with the investigation. It turns out that Rodriguez is connected to the unsolved disappearance of another man named David King which took place six years earlier and he eventually winds up going to prison on fraud charges. What happened to Michael Sullivan and Camden Sylvia? Was Robert Rodriguez responsible for their disappearances? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we cover a puzzling case involving a missing couple who seemingly vanished into thin air in downtown Manhattan.If you have any information about this case, please call the New York Police Department at (646) 610-6914.Support the Show: Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:https://charleyproject.org/case/camden-anne-sylviahttps://charleyproject.org/case/michael-sullivanhttps://charleyproject.org/case/david-kinghttps://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/15/nyregion/a-couple-are-missing-and-friends-are-baffled.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/18/nyregion/2-are-missing-now-landlord-is-also-gone.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/19/nyregion/police-copters-scan-property-of-landlord.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/20/nyregion/search-blocked-in-case-of-3-who-vanished.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/25/nyregion/in-disappearance-case-landlord-s-vehicle-is-found.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/12/nyregion/body-seen-as-potential-clue-to-missing-3.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1999/01/06/nyregion/missing-couple-s-landlord-arraigned-in-fraud-case.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/27/nyregion/landlord-of-missing-manhattan-couple-to-be-paroled-in-month.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/29/nyregion/for-camden-sylvia-and-michael-sullivan-who-disappeared-in-1997-still-some-hope.htmlhttps://pix11.com/news/local-news/manhattan/mom-still-wants-truth-about-mystery-of-missing-tenants-20-years-later/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1997/12/08/housing-departmenthttps://www.recordonline.com/article/20010217/news/302179983https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/decade-no-answers-camden-sylvia-disappearance-article-1.259577https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/archives-missing-manhattan-couple-article-1.259538https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Anatomy+of+a+building+in+distress.-a020189711https://www.villagevoice.com/1998/08/04/birthday-wishes/https://www.newspapers.com/image/709587296/https://www.newspapers.com/image/709587377/https://www.newspapers.com/image/709587261/https://www.newspapers.com/image/408784163/https://www.newspapers.com/image/408528760/https://www.newspapers.com/image/485305814/

December 13, 2009. Henderson, Nevada. A security camera captures 30-year old Steven Koecher arriving in a residential neighbourhood, where he parks his car and is seen walking down the sidewalk before he vanishes without a trace. Earlier that day, Steven had made a 135-mile trip to Henderson from his residence in St. George, Utah, but never told anyone why, and in the days prior to his disappearance, Steven also made multiple unexplained road trips through Utah and Nevada. Since Steven was struggling financially, it is theorized that he might have travelled to Henderson in order to seek employment or make a delivery to earn some money, but there is no conclusive evidence of what happened to him. Did Steven Koecher disappear voluntarily or end his own life somewhere or did he become the victim of foul play? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore of the most perplexing missing persons case of the modern era.If you have any information about this case, please contact the St. George Police Department at (435) 627-4319, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at (702) 229-2907 or the Henderson Police Department at (702) 267-2323.Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Steven_Koecherhttp://charleyproject.org/case/steven-thell-koecherhttps://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/finding-steven-koecher-man-vanishes-from-las-vegas-valley-neighborhood-phone-pings-for-days-after-presumed-death/https://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/news/ci_14152619https://fox13now.com/2015/05/15/new-theory-in-case-of-man-missing-since-2009-sparks-renewed-search-effort/https://sites.google.com/site/parallelcooler/home/koecher-html/timeline2009https://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/home2/53090169-183/steven-koecher-henderson-missing.html.csphttps://www.deseret.com/2010/1/6/20362964/about-utah-powell-isn-t-only-missing-utahnhttps://www.deseret.com/2010/2/13/20096171/family-of-missing-st-george-man-steven-koecher-waits-and-hopeshttps://news3lv.com/news/local/finding-steven-nine-years-after-his-disappearance-family-still-hopes-himhttp://img.ksl.com/slc/2507/250737/25073705.pdfArron Stoner Youtube ChannelEyesOn Justice: A True Crime Podcast

April 3, 2004. La Cygne, Kansas. 23-year old Alonzo Brooks vanishes while attending a party at a farmhouse and his body is discovered on the banks of a nearby creek nearly one month later. While a forensic pathologist is unable to determine Alonzo's exact cause of death, rumours start circulating that he was the victim of a hate crime before his body was placed at that location. In 2021, after Alonzo's body is exhumed and given a new autopsy, it is announced that his death has officially been reclassified as a homicide. Who was responsible for killing Alonzo Brooks and what was the motive for his murder? If his death wasn't a hate crime, what did actually happen to him? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore a controversial case which was featured on the Netflix reboot of “Unsolved Mysteries”.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Kansas City FBI Office at (816) 512-8200 or call the Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS (8477).Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Alonzo_Brookshttps://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Alonzo_Brookshttps://unsolved.com/gallery/no-ride-home/https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/22/us/alonzo-brooks-exhumed-unsolved-mysteries-trnd/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/06/us/alonzo-brooks-case-ruled-homicide-unsolved-mysteries-trnd/index.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20200928180109/https://www.kansascitymag.com/what-happened-to-alonzo-brooks/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8556843/Family-friends-Unsolved-Mysteries-Alonzo-Brooks-speak-out.htmlhttps://ew.com/tv/unsolved-mysteries-terry-dunn-meurer-rey-rivera-update/

September 4, 1993. Plano, Texas. While attending a soccer game at Carpenter Park with her family, seven-year old Ashley Estell goes missing after an apparent abduction. The following day, Ashley is found strangled to death next to an isolated dirt road six miles away. The investigation soon leads to a paroled sex offender named Michael Blair, who is subsequently convicted of Ashley's murder and sentenced to death. However, as the years go by, the case against Blair begins to fall apart and DNA testing eventually exonerates him of the crime. So who was actually responsible for the murder of Ashley Estell?

July 16, 1952. Salisbury, Connecticut. While spending the summer at Camp Sloane, ten-year old Connie Smith skips breakfast and leaves the campground. Numerous witnesses see Connie walking down the road and attempting to hitchhike, but before she reaches the nearest town, she vanishes without a trace. Since Connie's grandfather is the former Governor of Wyoming, there is a massive search effort and her case receives extensive publicity. Over the years, there are a number of unusual leads, including an anonymous letter stating that Connie might be an unidentified murder victim named “Little Miss X”, whose skeletal remains were found in Arizona in 1958. Did Connie Smith become an unidentified Jane Doe? If not, what actually happened to her? And what compelled her to walk away from Camp Sloane to begin with?

February 26, 1980. Berkeley, California. 51-year old Al Mills, his 40-year old wife, Jeannie, and Jeannie's 16-year old daughter, Daphene, are all shot to death, execution-style, in their home. Jeannie's 17-year old son, Eddie, is left unharmed inside his bedroom, but claims he did not hear the murders take place. Years earlier, the Mills family had defected from the Reverend Jim Jones' infamous cult, the Peoples Temple, and become outspoken advocates against them. Following the Jonestown Massacre, rumours circulated that surviving members of the cult were going to target the family as revenge. However, investigators suspect that Eddie was the actual perpetrator and make an unsuccessful attempt to charge him with the crime 25 years later. Did Eddie Mills murder his own family, or were they victims of an assassination by outside intruders? This week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly” explores an unsolved triple homicide and its potential connection to the Jonestown saga.Additional Reading:Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannie_Millshttps://people.com/archive/the-mills-family-murders-could-it-be-jim-jones-last-revenge-vol-13-no-11/https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BERKELEY-Man-jailed-in-family-slayings-from-25-2557794.phphttps://www.eastbaytimes.com/2005/12/09/son-wont-be-charged-in-1980-slayings/https://archives.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2015/11/12/yesterdays-crimes-peoples-temple-hit-squads-and-jonestowns-last-victimshttps://www.sfweekly.com/news/yesterdays-crimes-jonestown-was-just-the-beginning-for-one-peoples-temple-family/https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/articles/199203/the-truth-about-jonestown

June 23, 1996. Boston, Massachusetts. The dismembered upper body of 20-year old Karina Holmer is found inside a plastic trash bag in a dumpster. She was strangled to death before being sliced directly in half and the lower portion of her body is never recovered. Karina hails from Sweden and has spent the past three months working as an au pair for a married couple and she was last seen partying at a nightclub nearly 36 hours before she was found. Even though the investigation looks at a number of potential suspects, there is no evidence to implicate anyone. On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore a brutal unsolved crime which has often been described as Boston's version of the Black Dahlia murder.

April 9, 1947. Woodward, Oklahoma. Four-year old Joan Gay Croft is taken to the local hospital after an F5 tornado devastates her hometown and takes the lives of over 100 people, including her mother. While Joan Gay and her half-sister are recovering from injuries in the basement, two men show up and take her away. They claim that they are taking Joan Gay to another hospital to see her family, but she is never seen again. Over the next several decades, there would be a number of odd developments, including an anonymous E-mailer claiming to be Joan Gay. Did Joan Gay Croft go on living her life under a new identity? If so, who were the two unidentified men who took her? Could she still be alive today?

October 6, 1983. British Columbia, Canada. 27-year old Bernd Goericke and his 22-year old fiancée, Andrea Scherpf, are found shot to death next to a remote road. The couple hailed from West Germany and had been hitchhiking through Canada and an unidentified man driving a pick-up truck is seen using Andrea's travellers' cheques in the days following her death. Nearly six years later, a suspect named Andy Rose is charged with the crime based on testimony from a former friend who claimed she heard him confess to the murders. After two trials and two overturned convictions, the charges against Andy are dropped when DNA testing on a key piece of evidence excludes him as the perpetrator, but no one else is ever charged with killing Bernd and Andrea. On this week's episode of “The  Path Went Chilly”, we travel back to our home country of Canada to explore an unsolved double murder which led to a wrongful conviction.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Chetwynd branch of the RCMP at (250) 788-9221 or the Canadian Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).Support the show: patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldpatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_murder_of_Andrea_Scherpf_and_Bernd_Görickehttps://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2648100646https://archive.today/20120723055359/http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/2008-2009/someone_got_away_with_murder/timeline.htmlhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/newfoundlander-s-ordeal-with-rcmp-sting-subject-of-cbc-documentary-1.834222https://vancouversun.com/news/metro/police-seek-new-leads-in-1983-murder-of-two-german-tourists-near-chetwynd“The Psychology of Interrogations and Confessions: A Handbook” by Gisli H.

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.

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.

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.

"December 23, 1981. Burke County, North Carolina. After leaving an office Christmas party, 19-year old Rhonda Hinson begins her drive home, but her car is soon discovered in a ditch on Mineral Springs Mountain Road about a half-mile from her residence. Rhonda's body is lying outside the vehicle and it turns out she was fatally shot by someone who fired a bullet which passed through the car's trunk and the driver's seat before it penetrated her heart. An eyewitness reports having seen an unidentified man near the vehicle's driver's side door shortly before Rhonda's body was discovered, but he cannot be identified. Years later, new information surfaces to suggest that Rhonda's death may have been caused by someone from her personal life, but the crime is never solved. For our next series of episodes on “The Path Went Chilly”, Jules and Robin discuss the unsolved murder of Rhonda Hinson. For more information about the case, we highly recommend you check out Larry Griffin's extensive 89-part series of articles in The Wilkes Record:https://thewilkesrecord.com/the-killing-of-rhonda-hinson-part-89,-the-conclusion-p1824-149.htmWe originally covered Rhonda Hinson's murder way back on Episode#4 of “The Trail Went Cold”, but we have since learned a lot of new information about the crime which has compelled us to look at everything in a different light.

November 21, 1979. Craig, Colorado. After spending the evening at a dance, 15-year old Marie Blee heads to a party at a mobile home park, but never returns home. Two days later, Marie's parents receive an anonymous phone call demanding a $5,000 ransom for her return. The caller is soon revealed to be 18-year old Monty Doolin, who drove Marie to the party, but he denies any involvement in her disappearance. Over the next few decades, investigators would receive contradictory accounts from several eyewitnesses about what might have happened to Marie on the night she went missing. They eventually name three persons of interest, but Marie is never found. This week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly” chronicles a very frustrating cold case about a missing teenage girl in which the full truth has yet to be uncovered.Support the show:patreon.com/julesandashleypatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldFamily Friendly True Crime Podcasts:https://podcast.feedspot.com/family_friendly_true_crime_podcasts/Additional Reading:http://charleyproject.org/case/marie-ann-bleehttp://blogs.denverpost.com/coldcases/2009/11/15/high-school-blee-vanishes-from-party-craig/943/http://extras.denverpost.com/news/news0601b.htmhttps://www.steamboatpilot.com/news/suspect-in-marie-blee-cold-case-arrested-on-suspicion-of-kidnapping-a-different-routt-county-teenager-more-than-30-years-ago/https://www.steamboatpilot.com/news/crime-courts/judge-dismisses-class-1-felony-kidnapping-case/ 

November 27, 1985. St. Augustine, Florida. While attending a neighbourhood social gathering, 12-year old Martha Jean Lambert tells her mother that she needs to take a brief trip back to their mobile home, but she never returns and is eventually reported missing. Suspicion falls on Martha's 14-year old brother, David, after he gives conflicting stories about the last time he saw his sister. 24 years later, David confesses to killing Martha and disposing of her body and police find his story to be believable enough to close the investigation. However, David soon recants his confession and since corroborating evidence cannot be found to support it, Martha continues to remain a missing person and there is still debate about what actually happened to her. In this special two-part series of “The Path Went Chilly”, Jules and I explore the unsolved disappearance of Martha Jean Lambert and in this episode, Jules will perform a statement analysis on David Lambert's confession.

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/
