Cold Case Chronicles Central State Studios

Far removed from the Free Love and Peace of the late 1960s, the late 19970s were pay to play.  In 1978 a body was found in rural Iowa.  She would be Jane Doe for three decades.  This is Unidentified Female – The Story or Wilma June Nissen.  

Sometimes when a case is researched, very little information is found.  In the case of 18-year-old Calab Luckett who was found shot in an abandoned apartment, is no different.  While the crew found little information about his killer, they found a lot of information about a systemic problem of violence among youth. 

In November 1997, 13 year old Ricky Lane Thomas vanished into thin air.  Speculation surrounded a step father and the rural background makes a random abduction unlikely.  Will we ever know where Ricky is?

It takes a special kind of evil to prey on the weak.  Sarah Gibbs had autism spectrum disorder and was the target of someone heinous.  In December of 2014, in Warsaw, Indiana she was murdered and a fire was started to cover it up.  Her case remains cold.  Or does it?

Avon, Indiana was a small town back in November of 1988 when a young mother of three was found shot to death in her running car, just a half of a mile from her home.  Mary Plummer was murdered without witness.  32 years later, her case remains unsolved.

Of course, a spouse will always be the first suspect in a homicide. Some will have doubts, especially when a case goes cold.  As we ask who and why would anyone want to kill Mary Plummer, we have to look at everyone, starting with those closest to her.
