Introducing COLD: The Search for Sheree Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.
Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

EP173: No Father of the Year Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

In the early morning hours of March 19, 1985, Linda Bailey Brown lost her life. When police arrived at the home, her husband, David Arnold Brown answered the door and told them his wife’s body was in their bedroom and that he thought she had been shot. Also living in the home was Linda’s 17-year-old younger sister, Patti, David’s 14-year-old daughter, Cinnamon, from a previous marriage, and David and Linda’s baby daughter, Crystal. However, when the police tried to find Cinnamon they didn’t find her until they looked outside in one of the dog houses in the backyard. Cinnamon was lying in a pool of her own vomit and was clutching a note that said “Dear God, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt her.” However, as with most of our stories, things are not always as they seem. Listen to this week’s episode to hear more about the Brown family and what actually happened to Linda Bailey Brown.

EP172: Who Killed Cheryl Coker? Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

A BIG THANK YOU TO JESS M. WHO SUGGESTED THIS EPISODE!
On October 2, 2018, Cheryl Coker dropped off her teenage daughter, Mikayla to school and supposedly went home, or at least that's what her cell phone data said. She didn't arrive to work later that morning and when Mikayla got home from school, there was no sign of Cheryl. When Cheryl's vehicle was discovered at a local Kroger grocery store later that day with Cheryl's purse and phone inside, her family knew something was wrong. CCTV footage shows a man dropping off Cheryl's car but it never caught his face. Cheryl's remains were found on April 25, 2000, and her killer is still at large. If you have information regarding her case, please contact the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (CBI) at 800-282-3782 or you can submit a tip online on their website.

EP169: Baby Lollipops Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

On the morning of November 2, 1990, a Florida Power & Light crew was working on an electrical box located in a wealthy Miami Beach neighborhood. The neighborhood was known for its beachfront mansions, however, on this day, it would be known for something that would horrify the community. Tucked along the base of one of the mansion’s exterior walls was what the electrical worker first thought was a discarded lollipop wrapper. However, upon closer inspection, the worker was aghast to find the body of a very small child, wearing a t-shirt with three lollipops on the front. Soon, this child would be known as “Baby Lollipops” throughout southern Florida. Listen to this week’s episode to hear more about this tragic and shocking case.

EP167: 17 Dead in 17 Days Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

In 1973, Willie Steelman and Doug Gretzler met by chance. This meeting would end up being deadly for 17 people in Arizona and California that same year. During a 17-day span, Willie and Doug would kill acquaintances, strangers, and children all for what seemed to be just for the thrill. This spree killing would leave not only many dead behind, but dozens more traumatized over losing their friends or loved ones. Ultimately, what they did landed them on death row in Arizona, and neither of them saw another day of freedom after their sentencing.

EP165: Deadly Neighbor Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

THANK YOU TO JOYCE D. WHO SUGGESTED THIS EPISODE!
Ann Hoover bought her first home in 1995 in the Pittsburg, Pennsylvania neighborhood of South Oakland. This neighborhood was somewhere that needed a lot of TLC (tender loving care) and Ann, along with her neighbors, were excited to rehab the area. Everyone including Ann and her next-door neighbor, Roy Kirk, looked forward to the transformation and had wonderful and exciting plans for their neighborhood. However, when Roy started doing things to his home that damaged Ann's, Ann felt her only path to recouping her losses was to eventually go to court.
