In early July of 1990, 22-year-old Princella “Lady Bird” Eppes’ life felt full of potential: she’d just moved into her first apartment in the intown Atlanta neighborhood of Inman Park. But when she failed to pick up her youngest sister for a planned visit, and then didn’t show up for work, her family grew worried. When they drove to Princella’s apartment, they discovered she’d been murdered—and began a harrowing, 34-year-struggle to who had killed her, and why.
Season 20 covers cold cases in Georgia, Illinois, and Montana, and the efforts of victims’ families to reconnect with law enforcement and gain media attention for their loved ones.

Today we're sharing an episode of the new podcast, Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery.
It details the death of a 28-year-old whistleblower which, 50 years later, haunts Oklahoma and the nation. The young plutonium plant worker died in a fatal crash while driving to meet a reporter with The New York Times. She’d agreed to deliver sensitive documents that were never found. Two reporters who covered the story in 1974 have spent years trying to piece together what many in Oklahoma speculate: Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew. Now, hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed revelations and long-awaited interviews reexamining what happened that night. Fifty years later, the story still resonates: nuclear secrets, threats to the powerful, and why the truth stubbornly refuses to stay buried.

In 2002, Madison McGhee’s father, JC McGhee, was murdered. She’s spent the past four years unraveling the threads of his cold case, and asking the same question: who killed my dad? But the more she discovers, the more complex the paths to an answer seem to become.

On June 4th, 1977, workers cleaning up at Sycamore Park south of downtown found the body of 31-year-old Ora Lee Prescott. After quickly identifying who they thought her killer was and then failing to produce sufficient evidence to charge him, the Fort Worth Police simply gave up, leaving her casefile to collect dust, by all indications, for 45 years now. Tragically, Ora Lee’s daughter, too, was slain by a serial rapist and two-time convicted murderer almost 20 years after her mother.

In our final episode of the season, we continue the story of Calvin Willie Martinez.
Mothers Day 2019 was the last time Calvin Willie Martinez’s family heard from him. After suffering an immense loss in 2014, Calvin had struggled with depression and alcohol dependence. But he always stayed in contact with his loved ones—so when he called them from a truck stop in Albuquerque, NM, and promised he was heading home, they believed him. But Calvin never arrived.
Ever since, his sister Becky Martinez has been advocating for her brother. And as she discovered in late 2023, that persistence was vital: otherwise, his case would have remained erroneously closed.
Season 19 focuses on New Mexico and on the cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons/Missing/ Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIP/MMIWR) whose loved ones are still fighting for resolution in their cases.

A re-release of our April 2022 episode featuring Eric Carter-Landin to refresh listeners before our midseason episode—which premieres tomorrow, July 10th—to provide updates in the case. Eric Carter-Landin didn’t set out to be an advocate; but as the family member of a murder victim whose case was closed, he watched other disturbing cases unfold in his home state of New Mexico, and he felt called to do something about it: to help families, to shine a light on the failings in the system, and, eventually, to seek justice for his own brother, was was killed at only nine months old.

In October of 1988, the remains of a homicide victim were found in a rural area of Grays Harbor County, just outside Elma, Washington. A dedicated detective worked her case for years—first in his role with the sheriff's office, and then as coroner. Even now, in his retirement, he’s followed the case.
Despite thousands of hours of investigation, her identity remained elusive; but then, in 2018, forensic investigative genetic genealogy became a possibility, and The DNA Doe Project took on the case of the Grays Harbor Jane Doe. But her case has proved incredibly difficult, and genelaogists and investigators need your help to reconnect her to her identity, and solve her murder.
Season 18 covers four unsolved homicides in four states and across three decades: all are in need of local and national attention to be resolved.

For almost thirty years, Susan Minard Lund’s children believed she’d run away and abandoned them; after she disappeared on Christmas Eve of 1992 in Clarksville TN, a search was launched, but late the next year, her missing-persons report was closed. That’s because a woman in Alabama claimed to be Sue, and authorities accepted the claim. Her siblings and parents never believed it, though, and they were proven right. Her story, and the story of Ina Jane Doe, are the throughline of Laurah Norton’s book, LAY THEM TO REST, and Sue’s family joins us to tell a piece of the story not covered in the book: what it’s been like to deal with the aftermath of knowledge of what they learned—and what the rest of the justice they are waiting for.
Season 18 covers four unsolved homicides in four states and across three decades: all are in need of local and national attention to be resolved.
