Three years after a suitcase containing a man's torso surfaced in the Rio Grande near El Paso, another horror emerged—this time in the pine woods of East Texas. On February 3, 1962, two brothers seining minnows in a roadside ditch off U.S. Highway 59 north of Cleveland discovered two cardboard boxes wired together and packed with cement. Inside was the severed torso of a woman. Her head, arms, and legs were missing.San Jacinto County Sheriff Lewis Woodruff and Constable Collis Everitt called in the Texas Rangers and Houston pathologist Dr. Joseph Jachimczyk. The autopsy revealed crude dismemberment, a missing heart, and faint teeth marks on the torso. Nine pieces of women's clothing surrounded the body, all stripped of laundry tags. Every clue, as few as there were, pointed toward Houston.Investigators chased leads across Texas and beyond.Between the 1959 discovery in El Paso and the 1962 killing in San Jacinto County lay nearly eight hundred miles, three years, and two nameless victims—each drained of blood, each missing a heart. The phantom butcher once dubbed “Mack the Knifer” disappeared without a trace, leaving the questions of who they were and why they died buried with them.If you have any information about the 1962 San Jacinto Torso Case, please call the sheriff's office there at (936) 653-4367.Sources: The El Paso Times, The El Paso Herald-Post, The Houston Post, The Houston Chronicle, The Sarasota Journal, The Fort Lauderdale NewsYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://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.

Then, he gets arrested for actually doing something admirable!

In this Episode of Just Wondering, Norm tackles a frustrating reality for Cowboys fans: Dak Prescott might be having the best season of his career… and it still might not matter.With surgical precision (and a dash of disbelief), Norm dissects how the Cowboys' historically bad defense is wasting an MVP-caliber performance from Dak — a quarterback now rivaling Aikman, Romo, and Staubach in the record books. He also zooms out to explore wasted potential across the sports landscape — from the Texas Rangers' pitching perfection with no playoffs to college football chaos, where high expectations and the transfer portal are chewing up coaches faster than you can say “buyout.”Smart, sarcastic, and packed with stats, this episode is a masterclass in how great seasons get squandered — and what it says about modern sports.⏱️ Chapters00:00:00 - Wasting Seasons: Setting the Scene00:01:20 - Rangers Pitching Greatness, Offensive Misery00:02:03 - Dak Prescott's Best Season Yet00:03:46 - The Cowboys' Defensive Collapse00:05:23 - Can the Cowboys Be Fixed?00:06:46 - Dak's Legacy & Hall of Fame Talk00:07:30 - A Lone Star Offense Surrounded by Chaos00:08:26 - Are We Watching a Hall of Famer in Real Time?00:08:52 - College Football Coaching Carnage00:12:00 - The $49 Million Buyout Club00:12:51 - NIL, Portals & the New Coaching Pressure Cooker00:13:37 - Playoff Dreams Already Dead00:14:26 - The SEC Cannibalization Schedule00:15:17 - Why Rankings Are About to Explode00:16:09 - Wrap-Up: Expect the Unexpected  Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

Send us a textA single vow set against a hostile sky can bend the shape of history. When Charles Goodnight lashed his partner's tin-lined casket to a wagon and steered across the Pecos, he wasn't chasing myth—he was keeping a promise. That journey threads through everything that defined the West: the hard schooling of frontier life, the ruthless math of cattle markets, the invention that held trail crews together, and the uneasy line between conquest and survival.We trace Goodnight from a boyhood spent learning the land's language to his years as a Texas Ranger, where a bloody raid at Pease River foreshadowed decades of conflict and reconciliation. The partnership with Oliver Loving fuses savvy markets with grit, carving a path to Fort Sumner and birthing the chuck wagon—a simple, brilliant machine that turned chaos into a moving camp. Profit follows, but so do consequences: the Goodnight–Loving Trail becomes a corridor of expansion that feeds armies, stocks northern ranges, and reshapes Native homelands. When Loving falls to an ambush and whispers a final request, duty becomes destiny, and the long ride home becomes legend.Alongside the public feats stands Molly Goodnight—teacher, ranch leader, and the quiet force who heard orphaned bison calves cry and insisted on mercy. Her plea leads to a pure Southern Plains herd that survives to this day. And in a turn few could have predicted, Goodnight and Quanah Parker turn from enemies into friends, striking a pragmatic peace and later returning Cynthia Ann Parker to Comanche ground. The result is a portrait of a man and a moment: inventive and ruthless, loyal and changeable, capable of harm and repair. Ride with us through heat, storm, and open country, and decide for yourself what it means to keep faith—with the dead, with the land, and with those once called enemies. If the story moves you, follow, share, and leave a review to help others find the trail.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

The Dallas Cowboys don't play football in Dallas. They play in Arlington - the same city where the 2023 World Series champion Texas Rangers play baseball. None of that happened by accident.Behind Arlington's rise as a world-class hub for sports, entertainment, and innovation is a visionary leader who built unity into the city's blueprint. Former Mayor W. Jeff Williams turned collaboration into a superpower — and now he's sharing that formula in his new book, The Unity Blueprint.

Guest: Mike Wilner, baseball columnist & host of Deep Left Field baseball podcast The Blue Jays are currently battling the Seattle Mariners in the American League Championship Series (or ALCS for short), the one that precedes the World Series. Getting this far in the season has Toronto whipped into a lather at the possibility that their team may be within grasp of the big prize. A prize that likely feels a little further away after last night's game: the Jays lost, for the second time in this particular series, which is a best of seven. Ten years ago, the Jays were also two games down in a playoff series against the Texas Rangers, beat on their home turf both times. But they crawled back to win that series with the Jose Bautista bat flip as the pinnacle of that triumphant return. Today marks the 10 year anniversary of that bat flip and Mike Wilner, baseball columnist at the Star and host the Star's Deep Left Field baseball podcast, talks about the oral history both of that moment and one the Blue Jays currently find themselves in. Plus: Wilner tells you all you need to know about how to predict who's gonna win when it comes to baseball Bonus: Check out this video we made to commemorate the moment, Two Bat Flips, 10 Years Apart Produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston & Sean Pattendon Sources: MLB

Norm Hitzges is wondering — and not quietly — how the Texas Rangers went from World Series champs to looking like they misplaced their offense in a junk drawer.In this episode, Norm breaks down the mess General Manager Chris Young finds himself in: a team that can pitch but can't hit, an owner allergic to the luxury tax, and a farm system that's about as fertile as a parking lot. He calls it “the box,” and Chris Young is stuck squarely inside it, armed with little more than duct tape, prayer, and a spreadsheet labeled “2026: Good Luck.”Norm walks through the impossible math of building a contender without money, prospects, or trade bait — and still finds time to hype a Mavericks rookie who might be the best thing to hit Dallas since Luka's step-back three. It's classic Norm: sharp, funny, a little grumpy, and all truth.⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 - The General Manager in the Box (And No, There's No Key)01:22 - Luxury Tax or Luxury Trap?02:49 - How to Go 81–81 With the Best Pitching in Baseball03:35 - Six Players, $144 Million, and No Room Left for Snacks05:30 - The Farm System: Where Hope Goes to Retire07:05 - Trade Season: Who's Buying This Junk Drawer?08:36 - Two Holes, One Rotation, and a Whole Lot of “Good Luck”09:26 - If Chris Young Pulls This Off, Just Hand Him the GM of the Year Trophy12:18 - Super Cooper: The Mavs Rookie Who Might Save Dallas Sports13:49 - A 6'8” Point Guard and a Glimmer of Hope14:46 - Don't Stop Believing (Unless You're the Rangers' Payroll Department) Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

RUNDOWN   Are Seattle sports are even fun anymore? Six hours “chewing my fingernails and losing hair.” Mitch and Scott argue about what “fun” in fandom really means, roast Matt Brash for his walk-filled chaos, and marvel at the weirdness of Seattle beating Tarik Skubal yet again. Mitch welcomes Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over-Slot / Future Stars Series) for a fiery Mariners No-Table as Seattle heads to Detroit tied 1–1. They rave over Jorge Polanco's two-homer night off Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal and the team's resilience, then dissect Dan Wilson's bullpen management in Game 1, Bryce Miller's usage, and the decision to start George Kirby. The group debates Matt Brash's shaky late-inning trust, Julio Rodriguez's base-running and clutch turnaround, and whether the Tigers or Mariners now hold the upper hand as the ALDS resumes. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) for a heated Seahawks No-Table after Seattle's gut-wrenching 38–35 loss to Tampa Bay. The trio debates how Mike Macdonald's defense—ranked among the NFL's best through two weeks—got completely schemed apart by Baker Mayfield. Mitch rips the lack of pressure from Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams, the blown coverage across the secondary, and the failure to get a stop with the game on the line. All agree: Sam Darnold looked spectacular, throwing four touchdowns and confirming his franchise-QB credentials even in defeat. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after an emotional weekend that saw his son Jerry Neuheisel call plays for UCLA in the upset win over Penn State. Rick describes watching from the CBS studio as his phone exploded with messages, reliving the moment as both a broadcaster and a dad. He shares the behind-the-scenes timeline of Jerry being handed play-calling duties, his pride in how the Bruins responded, and the joy of seeing his family's work pay off. From there, the conversation turns to the broader college-football landscape — Penn State and Texas now facing uphill climbs to the playoff, Notre Dame's renewed path, the Huskies' comeback win in Maryland, Florida's bounce-back under Billy Napier, and previewing the week ahead with Oregon–Indiana on CBS.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Fingernails to Fun Forest: Mitch and Hotshot Debate Whether Sports Are Still Fun After Six Brutal Hours of Seahawks and Mariners Angst 12:15 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:46 | Mariners Split, Seahawks Stumble: Mitch Calls It “Inexcusable,” Hotshot Still Finds Hope in Detroit 32:01 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Polanco Powers Mariners Even, Wilson's Moves Debated as Series Shifts to Detroit 55:21 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Defense Collapses in 38–35 Shootout: MacDonald Takes the Blame, Darnold Shines in Defeat 1:20:50 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; A Proud Papa Moment — Rick Neuheisel on His Son's Play-Calling Debut and a Wild Weekend in College Football 1:51:20 | Other Stuff Segment: Michael Bennett defends Russell Wilson and says Richard Sherman's criticism is personal animosity, debate over whether Russ deserves the Hall of Fame, Mark Sanchez stabbed in Indianapolis parking dispute involving pepper spray, 49ers backup QB Mac Jones discovers a dead body outside his hotel before Thursday Night Football, Texas Rangers part ways with Bruce Bochy and promote Skip Schumaker, Jay Cutler released early from DUI jail after trying to pay off a fender-bender with $2,000, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's reported split includes a “no-cocaine bonus clause,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gets early Oscar buzz for The Smashing Machine as MMA fighter Mark Kerr, Lionel Richie claims Michael Jackson was literally nicknamed “Smelly,” Mitch realizes the real-life fighter from The Smashing Machine went to Syracuse the same time he did.

A few months ago, the owner of Hurtado Barbecue, Brandon Hurtado, and three of his employees spent a day on the set of Landman, acting as extras; also, the Texas Rangers' managerial search didn't last long, and the team didn't have to look far. Skip Schumaker will move from the front office, where he served as senior advisor to President of Baseball Operations Chris Young, to the dugout. Schumaker signed a four-year deal through the 2029 season; and Dallas is the fourth most expensive rental market in Dallas-Fort Worth. That's according to a Wednesday report.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence, for a powerful conversation about purpose, perseverance, and what happens when quiet impact meets a viral moment.  Jim's story is one of those overnight-success tales that actually took decades. After years of speaking, coaching, and writing for athletes and leaders behind the scenes, one unexpected moment on an NFL sideline, a book in the hands of A.J. Brown, and a few words from the broadcast team sent Jim's work into the spotlight. What happened next? His book went from ten copies sold in a week to nearly half a million. We talk about what it's like to go from overlooked to bestselling almost overnight, the deeper mission behind Inner Excellence, and how Jim stayed grounded through all the noise. Most of all, we dive into the why behind his work and the calling to help others live and lead with love, joy, and true inner power. If you've ever wondered whether doing the right work for the right reasons still matters, this episode will answer that with a resounding yes. This isn't just a story about a book. It's a reminder that impact happens when you stay faithful to the mission, even when no one's watching. Tune in and be inspired by Jim's journey and the truth that the best is yet to come.   About Jim, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Murphy is a Performance Coach to some of the best athletes and leaders in the world. He began his career as a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization. After experiencing vision issues that ended his playing career, Murphy coached with the Texas Rangers as well as the South African Olympic baseball team. He has worked with some of the world's best golfers, including world champions, FedEx Cup champions, and world #1's. The majority of Murphy's clients have the best year of their careers in their first year working with him. In addition to coaching professional athletes and executives, Murphy leads Inner Excellence offsite retreats around the globe.
