Unsolved: The Last Exit:, the Disappearance of Phoenix Coldon Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

On December 18, 2011, twenty-three-year-old Phoenix Coldon got into her car in St. Louis, Missouri and drove off the map. Her car was found the same day, abandoned with the engine still running and her belongings inside. Phoenix was not. No confirmed sightings. No credible leads. No body. Her mother Goldia has spent over a decade searching for answers with almost no support from authorities. For today's first Unsolved Tuesday episode, Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore sit with the silence of one of Missouri's most haunting cold cases, and ask why a young Black woman could vanish into thin air without the world demanding she be found.
