After leading the Bloomington High School Bobcats to their first playoffs since he played ball there, twenty years before, Coach Kenneth Hilscher was even more valued and respected there than ever before. His students loved him anyway, as both a coach and a teacher since he was always there for them with encouraging and motivating advice no matter the issue. But in April of 1995, Coach Kenny vanished into thin air, leaving behind only troubling clues that strongly suggested he met with foul play. Though searches turned up evidence containing blood that matched Kenny’s, and pointed to how he died, there was no trace of where to find him and he remains missing to this day.
If you have any information about the disappearance, or murder of Coach Kenneth Wayne Hilscher, please contact the Texas Department of Public Safety at (512) 424-5074.

In May of 2004 12-year-old Rosa Sandoval missed the last day of elementary school and the class party that was to take place and was never seen again. San Antonio Police sprung to action fast, but by the time Rosa was found to be missing, at least 14 hours had passed. Or so everyone originally thought. The cops later found out that perhaps almost 24 hours had passed since Rosa Sandoval was last seen. Either way, not a trace of the missing girl could be found, and police activity reported in a careless way by local media led to baseless speculation against family. To this day, although one clue was eventually publicly released, police seem to be no closer to finding out what happened to Rosa.
If you have any information about the murder of Rosa Sandoval, please contact Bexar County Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP, or 210-224-7868.

Part 5 of 5. Convicted a year and a half later of a crime that could easily be considered similar to the prevailing theory in Rachel Cooke’s disappearance, an Austin area man was no stranger to violent crime. On the day Rachel went missing, and for some time before, this individual had been working as a foreman for a crew doing work in the area of the North Lake subdivision and is known to have seen, and cat-called at, Rachel as she ran her routine route on her morning workouts. As if Rachel’s case wasn’t convoluted enough, controversies within the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office only further confused it and undoubtedly hindered progress.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Rachel Louise Cooke, please contact the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office at (512) 948-2911 or their cold case tip line at (512) 943-5204.

Part 4 of 5. In 1998, policeman Jimmy Fennell, Jr quit his job in Giddings, Texas after getting new work in Georgetown. Tragically, Fennell’s fiance, Stacey Stites, had been killed in 1996 and, perhaps, many thought the man was coming to a new city as final step in moving forward with his life. Fennell certainly did move forward behaving as he had at his old department. Though far from the only allegations of misconduct against him, Fennell came under fire in 2007 for kidnapping and raping an incredibly vulnerable young woman. Though the charges were about as watered-down as they could be, the policeman went to prison for 10 years. But in 2002, when Rachel Cooke disappeared, Jimmy Fennel was an active patrolman in Georgetown, Texas. Considering his past, and the possibility that he is actually responsible for his fiancé’s murder in 1996, is it possible he could be responsible for Rachel’s disappearance?

Part 3 of 5. Rachel Cooke’s parents believed their daughter was no longer alive, but still held out a sliver of hope that she was. In 2006, four years after her January 2002 disappearance, those hopes were completely dashed when a convicted killer confessed to bludgeoning, raping, and killing Rachel. Among this convicted killer’s many disdainful qualities, however, was a predilection to lying simply to cause confusion or emotional pain. Did Michael Keith Moore really kill Rachel Cooke or was his admission just a ick and psychopathic game?

Part 2 of 5. 19-year-old Rachel Cooke’s disappearance consumed her father, Robert Cooke. While the month following saw incredible activity in the form of searches from incredibly valuable Texas-based organizations and The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, that activity dwindled as the year went on. New composite sketches and heightened media presence due to the Cooke family’s persistence seemed like promising prospects. But even after what might be the largest search and recovery operation the county had ever seen, the efforts fell short and there still wasn’t a trace of Rachel Cooke to be found.

On January 10th, 2002, back home in Williamson County on winter break from college in San Diego, 19-year-old Rachel Cooke slept in a little. When she woke up, her parents and sister had all gone about their day. Rachel spoke with her boyfriend back in California for a few minutes, put on her workout clothes, and went for her usual 4 to 6 mile run. Then, as Rachel walked toward the Cooke home, her cooling off period after the run, she seemingly vanished into thin air. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office told Robert and Janet Cooke that they were overreacting – that Rachel just ran off to party and would be back in no time. When it was finally clear to them that was not the case, plenty of time had already been lost, and there wasn’t a trace of Rachel Cooke to be found.

On this episode of gone cold, we cover two unrelated stories from the city of El Paso; both likely impacted, or were impacted by, the 1987 desert killings thought by law enforcement to be perpetrated solely by David Leonard Wood. Before listening, we highly suggest you check out our episodes “Lost in the Desert” Parts 1 & 2.
First, the disappearance and murder of 16-year-old Angie Irsay in 1988, followed by the murder of Jacqueline Romero in 1986. Jacqueline’s murder was, perhaps, solved. A jury, however, disagreed, leaving her probable murderer free from accountability. Angie Irsay’s case in contrast, never came close to resolution.
Cover photo is Angie Irsay. We could not find a photo of Jacqueline Romero.
If you have any information about the murder of Angela Margarite Irsay or Jaqueline Belinda Romero, please call Crime stoppers of El Paso at (915) 566 – 8477.

During the Summer of 1987, the disappearances of girls and young women were stacking up in El Paso. Though the police seemed to think most were simply runaways, they changed their tune when the bodies of two missing females were found in the city’s Northeast desert on September 4th. When two more bodies were found a month and a half later, El Paso police acted fast and arrested their suspect – but he wasn’t charged with the murders, rather, he was charged with the rape of a woman who he had to let go. Eventually, David Leonard Wood was convicted of a total of six Northeast El Paso murders that occurred in the summer of 87 but three area females are still missing to this day. This episode of gone cold is the further story of the Desert Killer’s known victims and the third that is potentially his victim: Cheryl Lynn Vasquez-Dismukes.
If you have any information about the disappearances of Melissa Alaniz or Cheryl Vasquez Dismukes, please contact the El Paso Police at 915-832-4445.
If you have any information about the disappearances of Marjorie Alice Knox, please contact the Dona Ana County, New Mexico Sheriff’s Office at 575-526-0795.
