    Episode #199: Jubilee Lum – Murdered (1999)

    In August of 1999 21-year-old Jubilee Lum, also known as Maile, (pronounced My-lee) was last seen getting into a light-colored Ford Econoline van in Honolulu’s Kalihi area. Less than 24 hours later, her body was discovered in a trash bin behind a florist on South Beretania Street, wrapped in garbage bags. Jubilee, who was four months pregnant at the time, died from suffocation by strangulation.     Despite early investigative efforts and a possible connection to the murder of Michelle Anne Bensinger, the case remains unsolved. More than two decades later, there have been no arrests, leaving Jubilee’s family still searching for answers and justice.

    In this special episode, we take you behind the scenes of how the Keystone Cold Cases podcast came to life. What started as a shared interest in true crime and untold stories quickly grew into a mission: to shine a light on Pennsylvania’s unsolved cases and give a voice to victims who deserve to be remembered. We talk about the inspiration behind the podcast, the challenges of getting started, and what it means to approach these stories with responsibility, respect, and authenticity. From late-night research sessions to meaningful conversations about ethics in true crime, this episode gives you a closer look at who we are, why we do this, and what we hope to accomplish. More than just a podcast, Keystone Cold Cases is about keeping these cases alive in the public eye—because every victim matters, and every story deserves to be told.

    Episode #197: Monthly Mood - Data Centers

    Across Pennsylvania, a quiet war is unfolding — a tug-of-war between local townships and the nearly 50 proposed data centers slated across the state as of December 2025. And that number only reflects what’s been publicly disclosed. With massive companies betting big on Pennsylvania’s digital and energy future, this conflict isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. When we hear about data centers, the pitch is always the same: enhanced security, dependable data storage, economic boosts, infrastructure upgrades, and revitalized sites. All good things… on the surface. But what aren’t we being told?  What’s hiding in the fine print?  And do the benefits truly outweigh the consequences? Join us as we peel back the layers and dive deep into the real impact of data centers across PA.

    Episode #196: Mabel Kretshmar - Murdered (1959)

    Mabel Kretshmar was a 59-year-old widow who had recently returned to her hometown for a fresh start. On the bitterly cold night of February 13, 1959, she walked nearly a mile through the snow to attend a church prayer service, determined not to let the weather stop her. Somewhere along the way, she was targeted. A man dragged her from view, beat her brutally, and left her for dead. Somehow, Mabel managed to stumble—shoeless—to a nearby gas station. Police responded quickly, but she was fading fast. She died at the hospital just hours later. Authorities launched the largest manhunt the area had ever seen, with multiple agencies involved and a reward offered. Despite those efforts, her killer was never identified. Sixty-seven years later, her case remains unsolved.

Around 5:30 a.m., her eldest daughter called 911, telling dispatch that her mother was “laying on the floor, bloody,” and pleading, “Just get here fast because we’re here alone.” Deputies arrived to find Amy dead from a gunshot wound to her abdomen. The heartbreaking discovery by her own child and the loss of both Amy and her unborn baby devastated the family and sparked an investigation into who entered the home before dawn and why.

    Episode #194: Michele Evanik - Murdered (1978)

    In the summer of 1978, someone got away with murder in Norristown, Pennsylvania. A carnival lit up the night. Music, laughter, bright lights—and by morning, a 17-year-old girl was found murdered, her body left in a local park. Investigators have long believed her death may be connected to the carnival she attended just hours before she was killed. Telling her story keeps her name alive. It ensures she is more than a headline, more than a cold case. This is the story of Norristown Area High School senior, Michele Evanik.
