    S3, E4: The Line Marked Suspect

    In December 1978, 20 year old Debra Gunter vanished from her overnight shift at a Little General store on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Four days later, her body was found in the woods near McIntosh, Alabama, eighty five miles from where she disappeared. In Episode 4, The Line Marked Suspect, we examine newly obtained records from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, tracing the timeline of Debra’s disappearance, the discovery of her body, and two robberies that occurred within minutes of her vanishing. As we review forensic findings and the limited documentation from the scene, a troubling question emerges. Did investigators have enough time to see everything that mattered. This episode includes graphic and upsetting details from forensic records. Listener discretion is advised.

    S3, Ep. 3: An Inside Look with Lt. Versiga - Pt 2

    In December 1978, twenty-year-old Debra Gunter vanished from the Li’l General store where she worked the overnight shift in Gautier, Mississippi. Days later, her body was discovered miles away in rural Alabama. Sellers & Stormy share Debra’s story, uncovering long-buried details and connecting with investigator Lt. Darren Versiga, whose renewed look at the case may finally shed light on what happened that night. This is more than a mystery—it’s the story of a young woman who deserves to be remembered. In this episode of Unforgotten, we sit down with Lt. Darren Versiga, a Pascagoula Police Department investigator known for his work on cold cases across the Gulf Coast. Together, we take a deep dive into the 1978 unsolved murder of Debra Gunter, examining how the investigation unfolded then, what’s known now, and what modern investigative practices could reveal that simply wasn’t possible at the time. Lt. Versiga brings decades of experience to the conversation—offering expert insight into victimology, evidence handling, and the obstacles investigators face when working cases that are nearly 50 years old. His perspective helps us understand not just Debra’s case, but the broader challenges of solving violent crimes from an era when documentation, forensic tools, and interagency communication looked very different from today. This is an episode for anyone who wants to understand how cold case investigations work behind the scenes—and why renewed public awareness may be the key to finally getting justice for Debra.
