    Four cold cases to solve

    SHANNON 36-year-old Shannon Lathrop frantically called her counselor to tell them someone was trying to kill her. Knowing that Shannon suffered from some mental health issues, including paranoia, the counselor decided not to act on the phone call until the next day. But Shannon was nowhere to be found. A week later, her remains were found on a burning boat on tribal property in Washington State. ANNE 24-year-old Anne Hanson lived in Gresham, Oregon. She was last seen debarking the Portland MAX train on her way home from an Oktoberfest Celebration. But Anne would never make it home. She was found murdered near the MAX station. CHALISA 14-year-old Chalisa Lewis got off her school bus near her grandmother’s house in Bremerton, Washington. She dropped off her backpack and, seeing her grandma wasn’t there, left her a note saying she’d be back in a couple of hours. Her body was discovered by a passerby on a beach in Seattle. DIANA 50-year-old Diana Davis was a mom to two adult children. Diana loved many things and was fairly active on dating sites until she met a man who would become her boyfriend in an open relationship. Diana also had a passion for gardening. She had her own plot in a community garden in Tacoma, Washington. After a day of gardening, Diana disappeared; her car made it to Lumen Field near Seattle, then back to Tacoma, where it was found burning in an alleyway. Diana was not in her car. Her body was discovered about an hour and 20 minutes east of Tacoma in a wooded area off the highway. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
