In the late Spring of 1987 a body was found in the attic of a burning church in Nashville TN. The detective’s investigating the crime knew that they were looking for a heartless killer when they saw the state of the body, but they were unaware of just how diabolical their murderer was.

Join me as I tell John the heartbreaking case of Baby Hope. When the body of a malnourished girl was found in a cooler off the Henry Hudson parkway in 1991 the homicide detectives of the 34th precinct work hard to identify her body and find her killer. It would take 22 years, but Baby Hope would eventually get her name back.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.
When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.
Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid. When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads.

Hunter S. Thompson once wrote, “The case of Lisl Auman, who first wrote me from prison three years ago, is so rotten and wrong and shameful that I feel dirty just for knowing about it, and so should you.” So, let’s see how you feel about the case of the 21 year old woman who was arrested for the brutal murder of a police officer while she was handcuffed in the back of a cruiser.

For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old
Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end.
Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.

Around the holidays there is nothing more consistent than a mother. She has to make sure the home is clean, the meals are cooked, feasts and all, the home decorated, the cookies baked. And no mother was more reliable when it came to holiday consistency as 41 year old, mother of three, Stepahnie Bruner. That was why it seemed especially odd when, just three days before Thanksgiving, she left to take a walk at 10 PM in freezing temperatures never to return again.
Join me and I tell John the case of Stephanie Bruner.

The story I have for you today will be, just as they always are, hard to get through, especially because it involves a child. Just around Halloween in 1992 a vicious crime would shock the blue collar town of Oil City, PA, changing it forever. In fact, the town would put a ban on night time trick or treating for 16 years after the case I am about to tell you, and even now the time is restricted to not go past 8 PM. Halloween is a time of great excitement for children. It is electric in the air, kids playing innocent pranks, mischief nights, talking about what they are going to dress up as, and of course, the promise of mounds and mounds of candy after trick or treating. But lurking beneath all that fun is a terrifying truth, something the good people of Oil City had to learn the hard way, that monsters are real, and sometimes they are the ones you least expect.
