Missing

Missing is a true crime podcast that tells stories of missing people, homicides, and injustices. Starting in 2015 with the disappearance of Maura Murray, Missing has covered the vanishings of Brianna Maitland, Brandon Lawson, Phoenix Coldon, Trenny Gibson, Daniel Robinson, Nancy Guthrie, Emanuela Orlandi, Erica Franolich, Cieha Taylor, Jason Jolkowski, Springfield 3, Tabitha Queen, Raymond Green, Alicia Markovich, Niqui McCown, Frederick Valentich, Joseph Crater, Pepita Redhair and more mysteries in depth. Due to their close affiliation with the non-profit organization, Private Investigations For the Missing, the team features stories sourced from their case files when appropriate.

While Missing primarily focuses on unsolved cases, they also highlight solved murders, doe’s, DNA updates, cold cases and serial killers as a way to explore all the factors. Whether it’s psychological, socioeconomic, or something deeper that plays a part in a person’s disappearance, Missing does not shy away.

Missing has an impressive guest list with names like Matt Murphy, Jennifer Coffindaffer, Joshua Zeman, Sarah Turney, John Lordan, Julia Cowley, Julie Murray, James Renner, the Generation Why, Nancy Grace, True Crime Garage, Patrick Hinds, Art Roderick, David & Kristen Mittelman of Othram Labs as well as current law enforcement and licensed private investigators.

Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna were also featured in Oxygen’s The Disappearance of Maura Murray 6 part documentary.

Missing is hosted and produced by Tim Pilleri, Lance Reenstierna of Crawlspace Media.

486 // Live w/ LOU AND JONBENÉT Author John Wesley Anderson - Part 2 of 2 Dec 26, 2024

Show notes

In this new episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna speak with former sheriff and homicide detective, turned author, John Wesley Anderson. John joins us live on Youtube to discuss the new Netflix docuseries Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey and his book, LOU AND JONBENÉT: A Legendary Lawman's Quest To Solve A Child Beauty Queen's Murder.

This is part 2 of 2.

Lou is Lou Smit, John’s friend and legendary homicide detective. Needing investigative help, the Boulder DA brought Lou in, however, he was soon disenchanted with law enforcement’s obsession with the Ramsey family as the primary suspects, excluding other possibilities. What follows is years and years of misinformation, unaccounted for evidence and a media driven narrative.

Anyone with any information to contact detectives at BouldersMostWanted@bouldercolorado.gov or by calling the Boulder Police tipline at 303-441-1974.

Buy and leave a review of John's book: https://a.co/d/1m7QG5i.

This is the third interview we conducted with John Anderson.
