June 12, 1993. Santa Clara, California. 21-year old U.S. Army Private Justin Burgwinkel leaves his girlfriendâs 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, Justinâs 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 weekâs episode of âThe Path Went Chillyâ, 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.

November 27, 1985. St. Augustine, Florida. While attending a neighbourhood social gathering, 12-year old Martha Jean Lambert tells her mother that she will be taking a brief trip back to their mobile home, but Martha never returns and is eventually reported missing. Suspicion starts to fall upon on Marthaâs 14-year old brother, David Lambert, after he gives conflicting stories about the last time he saw her. Over the course of the next 24 years, David makes two separate confessions about killing Martha and disposing of her body. Investigators find Davidâs second confession to be believable enough that they decide to close the case, but almost immediately after this news is made public, David recants his story. Was Marthaâs brother actually responsible for her disappearance, or did something else happen to her? This weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ covers a very controversial and divisive missing persons case which has yet to find a conclusive resolution.

Okay, um, basically⊠the truth of the matter is⊠me and ****** went to the old college and we got in a big argument and fight⊠and it was over money that she wouldn't give back to me. It was some change of a $20 bill. She hauled off and punched me. I then⊠not thinking⊠pushed her. She fell backwards and her head⊠when she fell backwards, her head impaled on something sharp sticking out of the ground. I then said: âAre you alright?â. I run over to her and she just mimed a little bit and⊠there was nothing else. I hollered out for help too cause Holmes Boulevard is right there. Nobody came, nobody yelled back or anything. I didn't want to leave her⊠I freaked out⊠I didnât⊠I said I donât know what to tell you all. I couldnât tell you all. I just freaked. Uh, so I⊠not thinking⊠I freaked⊠I tripped⊠I just didn't know what to do⊠I buried her. I didnât know what to do. It was the wrong thing to do, I agree. But I was 14 years old. I wasnât thinking. I then⊠I came home after that, but she was dead. Definitely dead before I buried her. That I know because I checked her stomach and all that. Then after that, I sit therefor about 30 minutes⊠30 to 45 minutes⊠just didnât know what to do. I went home, I got cleaned up. I regret it, I'm sorry it did happen. I regret pushing her. I wish I could go back in time and not have done that. I wish I could turn time, if I could turn time back, I wouldnât just⊠you know. It was all over money⊠and you know what money will do to you when youâre a kid. I don't know⊠you were a kid⊠you had a certain amount of money⊠the money was valuable to you then, you know. But that's the way it was with me when I was a kid. Every dime I got, I depend on. Because most stuff like that I had to work for. -
November 21, 1985. Littleton, Colorado. A masked gunman enters the home of 51-year old businessman Roger Dean and forces him to tie up and blindfold his wife, D.J.. After an apparent dispute over money, the gunman fatally shoots Roger and flees the scene, but investigators find evidence to suggest that Roger may have hired the intruder himself in a failed attempt at a kidnapping-robbery scheme. Nearly five years later, D.J. receives an anonymous letter from a man claiming to be Rogerâs killer, who threatens to murder her daughter unless she pays him $100,000. Even after he instructs D.J. to drop off the money at a specified location, he does not show up and breaks off all contact. Were the extortionist and Roger Deanâs killer actually the same person? If so, what was his motive for the crime? Did Roger have some dark secrets in his background which led to his death? On this weekâs episode of âThe Path Went Chillyâ, we examine a very bizarre and complex case of murder and extortion.

In this episode Robin and I (Jules)discuss the case of Tim Molnar, one that was never discussed in full on the Trail Went Cold since there wasn't enough material. This case is baffling and we go round and round (and dive down a Reddit rabbit hole) as to what we think happened. -

Christmas Eve, 1973. New London, Connecticut. While changing a tire, 20-year old Kevin Showalter is struck by a passing vehicle and killed in a hit-and-run. When the local police botch the investigation and make no effort to solve the case, Kevinâs mother is forced to fight for answers on her own. Years later, a grand jury investigation is launched and the townâs former mayor is named as the probable driver of the vehicle. However, further complications ensue when another man comes forward and confesses to the crime, creating debate about who was actually responsible for Kevinâs death. This weekâs episode of âThe Path Went Chillyâ will be examining what is perhaps the most extensive and controversial hit-and-run case in the history of the United States, which has still not found a conclusive resolution after four decades.

April 20, 1989. Circle, Montana. While driving on the wrong side of a rural highway, 37-year old Patricia Meehan gets into a collision with another car. After staring blankly at the vehicleâs driver, Patricia walks out onto the prairie and disappears. During the next few months, there would be numerous sightings of a disoriented-woman resembling Patricia. This leads to speculation that the trauma of the car crash caused Patricia to develop amnesia and forget who she was, but she is ultimately never found.

May 28, 1995. Coconino County, Arizona. 28-year old Devin Williams, a long-haul truck driver from Kansas, recklessly drives semi-trailer truck into Tonto National Forest before it becomes stuck in some mud. After Devin exits the truck, witnesses see him displaying bizarre behaviour before he takes off into the woods and disappears. Devin had been in the midst of transporting a shipment from California to Kansas until he drove over 60 miles off-course for unknown reasons. Two years later, Devinâs skull is discovered near the bottom of a cliff, but no one can figure out his cause of death or why he wound up in the forest to begin with.

April 16, 2003. Kendall County, Texas. 54-year old Colonel Philip Shue, who works as a staff psychiatrist for the United States Air Force, leaves his residence to drive to work. Two-and-a-half hours later, Colonel Shueâs car is seen driving erratically down the interstate before it crashes into some trees and Shue is found dead in the driverâs seat. Even though his death is ruled to be a staged suicide, there are a number of suspicious discrepancies, as duct tape is wrapped around Shueâs wrists and feet, a large gash is carved into his chest, and both of his nipples have been removed. There is suspicion that Shueâs ex-wife had him tortured and killed in order to cash in on some life insurance policies, but even though a judge later makes a public ruling at a civil trial that Shue was the victim of a homicide, his official cause of death is never changed. Did Colonel Shue intentionally crash his car and take his own life, or did was killed while attempting to escape from someone who did him harm? Weâre going to explore both sides of this perplexing case on this weekâs episode of âThe Path Went Chillyâ, which chronicles one of the most bizarre unexplained deaths youâll ever hear about.

July 10, 1958. Monterey County, California. 26-year old First Lieutenant Paul Whipkey leaves Fort Ord, the Army base where he is stationed. When he fails to return, he is declared AWOL before being declared a âdeserterâ 30 days later. Five weeks after he went missing, Whipkeyâs abandoned car is discovered nearly 500 miles away in a remote section of Death Valley. Since Whipkeyâs body cannot be found, the Army believes he suffered a mental breakdown and wandered into the desert and died. However, Whipkeyâs family discovers troubling discrepancies to make them suspect the Army staged his disappearance. In 1982, Whipkeyâs status is officially changed to âdied in the line of dutyâ, but he is never found and the full truth about what happened to him is not revealed. Could Whipkey have been recruited by the CIA and sent on a secret mission? Or was his disappearance connected to a previous assignment involving atomic testing? We shall explore all the different potential scenarios as we cover a bizarre military-themed mystery on this weekâs edition on âThe Path Went Chillyâ.

October 21, 1978. Cape Otway, Australia. After leaving on a seemingly routine training flight in a Cessna 182 aircraft, 20-year old pilot Frederick Valentich vanishes without explanation over Bass Strait. During a radio transmission, Valentich describes seeing an unidentified flying object and his final words are: âItâs hovering and itâs not an aircraftâ. When eyewitnesses report seeing strange things in the sky that night, speculation mounts that Valentichâs disappearance might have been the result of an alien encounter. For our final Halloween-themed episode of âThe Path Went Chillyâ this month, we will be covering our very first story involving potential UFO involvement and explore whether this caused a pilot to vanish forever.

July 8, 1983. Winter Haven, Florida. 47-year old Nancy Drake is viciously attacked inside her church after being bludgeoned with a claw-toothed hammer during an apparent robbery. Nancy is left comatose, but when she wakes up, she has no memory of the incident. Suspicion turns towards Nancyâs 45-year old husband, Thomas Drake, who took out a life insurance policy on her while conducting a secret affair with another woman. Thomas is charged with attempted murder and found guilty at trial, but shortly thereafter, Nancy claims that her memory has returned and she now recalls being attacked by another man. This leads to Thomas receiving a new trial, but he is found guilty a second time and remains incarcerated to this day. Did Thomas Drake attempt to bludgeon his wife to death with a hammer, or was someone else responsible? On this episode of âThe Path Went Chillyâ, Jules and Robin explore a controversial âFinal Appealâ case from âUnsolved Mysteriesâ which did not even air on television until over 16 years after it was originally produced.
