Case No. 19: Clark Perry Baldwin: The Highway Killer – How DNA Solved a 30-Year Mystery

In 1991, a young pregnant woman named Pamela McCall was found murdered along Interstate 65 in Tennessee. Investigators carefully collected evidence, but despite their efforts, the case eventually grew cold. Hundreds of miles away in Wyoming, two unidentified women—known for decades only as "Bitter Creek Betty" and the "Sheridan County Jane Doe"—were waiting for their names to be restored. For more than thirty years, these cases remained unsolved. Then science caught up with the evidence.

Case No. 18: Kelly Dwyer: The Disappearance, Murder, Trial & Search for Justice

On October 11, 2013, 27-year-old Kelly Dwyer walked into an apartment building in Milwaukee with someone she knew and trusted. She was never seen alive again. For nearly five years, Kelly's family searched for answers while investigators quietly pieced together one of Wisconsin's most complex homicide investigations. Surveillance video, digital evidence, forensic analysis, witness interviews, and years of investigative work would eventually lead prosecutors to file murder charges against Kris Zocco. In this special documentary episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle takes you beyond the headlines and into the complete story—from Kelly's life and disappearance to the investigation, criminal complaint, trial, verdict, and appeal. Rather than focusing on sensationalism, this documentary carefully distinguishes between established facts, investigative findings, prosecution arguments, defense arguments, jury findings, and appellate rulings. Throughout the episode, Kelly remains at the heart of her own story—a daughter, sister, friend, and woman whose life mattered long before she became the subject of a criminal case. This is a respectful, evidence-driven documentary created to honor Kelly's memory while helping listeners better understand how investigators built the case and how the justice system evaluated the evidence. Because every victim deserves to be remembered. Listener Note: This episode contains discussion of homicide, domestic violence, and adult themes that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Case No. 17: Margaret Anderson: A Green Bay Mystery That Deserved to Be Remembered

Margaret Anderson was more than a victim. She was a daughter, a loved one, and a member of the Green Bay community whose life was tragically taken. Her death left a family searching for answers and a community forever changed. In this episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle takes a closer look at Margaret Anderson's life, the events surrounding her death, the investigation that followed, and the evidence that shaped the case. Through verified records and publicly available information, we'll examine the investigative timeline, the challenges detectives faced, and the pursuit of justice while carefully distinguishing between established facts, investigative findings, and court proceedings. According to the court records, Mark Hinton, Mark Lukensmeyer, and Denice Stumpner's fifty-year sentences resulted in mandatory release after only 22 years. Hinton was freed under supervision in the summer of 2007, followed by Lukensmeyer in the spring of 2008. Stumpner's required release date with supervision was January 20, 2011. Randolph Whiting, the only one of the four to be convicted of the murder, was paroled in 2020. Margaret's story is one of loss—but it is also a story of perseverance. It's about the investigators who worked to uncover the truth, the family members who refused to let her memory fade, and the enduring importance of remembering the person behind the case. At Cold World Crime Time, we are committed to telling victim-centered, evidence-driven true crime stories with compassion, accuracy, and respect. We separate verified facts from speculation, explain the investigative process in plain English, and keep victims—not offenders—at the heart of every episode.

Case No. 16: Maura Murray: The Disappearance That Still Haunts New England

Twenty-one-year-old Maura Murray disappeared after a single-car crash on a rural road in Haverhill, New Hampshire, on February 9, 2004. When first responders arrived just minutes later... Maura was gone. More than two decades later, her disappearance remains one of the most debated missing person cases in America. Despite extensive searches, countless tips, and years of investigative work, one question continues to haunt investigators, her family, and those who have followed the case from the beginning: What happened to Maura Murray? In this episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle carefully examines Maura's life, the days leading up to her disappearance, the timeline investigators have established, the search efforts, and the publicly known evidence that continues to shape this case. We'll separate verified facts from speculation, explore the investigative challenges, and explain why so many questions remain unanswered after all these years. Maura's story has inspired books, documentaries, podcasts, and countless online discussions. But beyond every theory... there is a family that has spent more than twenty years searching for answers. Maura was a daughter. A sister. A college student. A young woman whose future was forever interrupted. She deserves to be remembered for far more than the mystery surrounding her disappearance. At Cold World Crime Time, we are committed to telling victim-centered, evidence-driven true crime stories with compassion, accuracy, and respect. We distinguish between verified facts, investigative findings, and speculation while keeping every victim—not every theory—at the heart of the story.

Case No. 15: Asha Degree: The Little Girl Who Walked Into the Night

Nine-year-old Asha Degree disappeared from her family's home in Shelby, North Carolina, during the early morning hours of February 14, 2000. More than two decades later, her disappearance remains one of America's most haunting unsolved cases. Multiple witnesses reported seeing a young girl walking alone along a highway before dawn. Despite an extensive search and years of investigative work, Asha has never been found. Her family has never stopped searching, and law enforcement continues to pursue new leads in hopes of finally learning what happened that night. In this episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle carefully examines Asha's life, the timeline of her disappearance, the eyewitness reports, the physical evidence recovered during the investigation, and the significant developments that have renewed hope in this case. Throughout the episode, we distinguish between verified facts, investigative findings, publicly reported information, and the questions that investigators continue to examine. Asha was more than a missing child. She was a daughter. A sister. A fourth-grade student. A little girl with dreams, a loving family, and an entire life ahead of her. Our goal is not to sensationalize her disappearance, but to honor her life, explain the investigation with care, and remember the child at the center of this story. At Cold World Crime Time, we are committed to telling victim-centered, evidence-driven true crime stories with compassion, accuracy, and respect.

Case No. 14: Alonzo Brooks: A Night That Ended in Questions

Alonzo Brooks was just 23 years old when he attended a party in rural Kansas in April 2004. He never made it home. What began as a missing person search became a decades-long pursuit of answers after Alonzo's body was discovered in a creek near the party site. Over the years, his family, community members, journalists, and investigators have continued to seek the truth about what happened that night. The case was later reopened by federal authorities, bringing renewed attention to unanswered questions and the possibility that Alonzo's death may have involved criminal conduct. In this episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle examines Alonzo's life, the events leading up to his disappearance, the search efforts, the investigation, the renewed federal inquiry, and the publicly known evidence surrounding this case. We'll carefully distinguish between verified facts, investigative findings, publicly reported information, and the questions that remain unresolved. Alonzo's story is about more than an unsolved death. It's about a son. A brother. A friend. A young man whose family has never stopped fighting for answers. It's also a reminder of how trust in the justice system can be tested when families believe their loved one's case has not received the attention it deserved. At Cold World Crime Time, we are committed to telling victim-centered, evidence-driven true crime stories with compassion, accuracy, and respect. We separate established facts from speculation, explain the investigative process in plain English, and keep every victim—not every offender—at the heart of the story. Listener Discretion: This episode discusses homicide, violence, racial bias allegations, and other sensitive topics that may be difficult for some listeners.

Case No. 13: Joseph Oberhansley: The Murder of Tammy Jo Blanton

Before her name became associated with a headline, Tammy Jo Blanton was a daughter, a mother, a friend, and a woman whose life mattered to the people who loved her. In September 2014, Tammy was found murdered inside her Jeffersonville, Indiana, home in a case that quickly drew national attention because of the shocking allegations surrounding her death. As the investigation unfolded, detectives worked to reconstruct the final hours of Tammy's life, gather forensic evidence, and build a case that would ultimately be presented before a jury. In this episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle examines Tammy's life, the investigation, the evidence presented in court, the legal proceedings, and the challenges faced by investigators and prosecutors. We separate verified facts from speculation while explaining the investigative process and the court's role in evaluating the evidence. While this case is often remembered for its disturbing details, our focus is different. Our focus is Tammy. The life she lived. The family and friends she left behind. And the pursuit of justice on her behalf. At Cold World Crime Time, we believe every victim deserves to be remembered with dignity, every family deserves answers, and every story deserves to be told with compassion, accuracy, and respect. We are committed to presenting evidence responsibly while keeping victims—not offenders—at the center of every episode. Listener Discretion: This episode discusses homicide, violence, and disturbing criminal allegations. Some details may be difficult for listeners.

Case No. 12: Lisa Aguilar: She Asked for Help. It Wasn't Enough

Lisa Aguilar did what so many survivors of domestic violence are encouraged to do. She sought help. She tried to protect herself. She tried to build a safer future. But despite those efforts, Lisa's life was tragically cut short—leaving behind a grieving family and a case that serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers many survivors face when trying to escape abuse. In this powerful episode of Cold World Crime Time, Michelle examines Lisa's life, the warning signs leading up to her death, the investigation that followed, and the courtroom proceedings that sought justice on her behalf. Through verified evidence, court records, and publicly available information, we'll explore how this tragedy unfolded, what investigators uncovered, and the lessons that continue to resonate for families, advocates, and communities working to prevent domestic violence. Lisa's story is not defined by the violence that ended her life. It's defined by her courage, her resilience, and the people who continue to honor her memory by refusing to let her story be forgotten. At Cold World Crime Time, we are committed to telling victim-centered, evidence-driven true crime stories with compassion, accuracy, and respect. We distinguish between verified facts, investigative findings, prosecution arguments, defense arguments, jury findings, and court rulings while keeping every victim—not every offender—at the heart of the story.
