The Trail Went Cold - Episode 232 - Gary Simmons
Wednesday Jun 30, 2021
Wednesday Jun 30, 2021
October 15, 1974. Overland Park, Kansas. 32-year old businessman Gary Simmons leaves his office in order to purchase a horse from a man named Tom Dixon. Later that day, Gary provides authorization for Dixon to cash a $30,000 cheque he paid him, but Gary is never heard from again and Dixon also disappears after collecting the money. Seventeen years later, Gary’s skeletal remains are discovered inside a cave and it turns out he has been shot in the head. While Dixon is believed to be involved, he is never tracked down and investigators suspect that Gary may have been the victim of an elaborate murder plot orchestrated by an unknown third party. Could this person have also killed Tom Dixon? If so, what was the motive for this crime? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the baffling and convoluted unsolved murder of Gary Simmons.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 231 - Richard Colvin Cox
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
January 14, 1950. West Point, New York. 21-year old Richard Colvin Cox, a second-year cadet at the United States Military Academy, tells his roommate that he is planning to go out to dinner with a visitor, but he does not return and is eventually reported missing. During the preceding week, Cox was visited on multiple occasions by a man whose name may have been “George” and Cox is believed to have been with him when he vanished. George’s identity is never conclusively established and over the years, a number of different theories are presented about Cox’s disappearance. Did Cox have a secret relationship with the mysterious George? Did he become the victim of foul play? Or was Cox recruited to work for the CIA and given a new identity? We shall attempt to answer these questions on this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, which chronicles one of the most baffling military-themed mysteries of all time. Special thanks to listener Charles Cage for narrating the opening of this episode.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 230 - Lynette Culver
Wednesday Jun 16, 2021
Wednesday Jun 16, 2021
May 6, 1975. Pocatello, Idaho. After leaving her school on her lunch break, 12-year old Lynette Culver vanishes without a trace and is subsequently reported missing. Nearly 14 years later, prior to his execution, notorious serial killer Ted Bundy confesses to being responsible for Lynette’s murder. While Bundy provides specific details to make many people believe his confession was genuine, Lynette’s body is never found, and in the years following her disappearance, four other girls from Pocatello wind up becoming victims of unsolved murders. Could all of these crimes somehow be connected? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we will be exploring the story of Lynette Culver and a number of different cold cases involving missing and murdered females, some of whom are believed to be unconfirmed victims of Ted Bundy.
If you have any information about any featured cases from Pocatello, please contact the Pocatello Police Department at (208) 234-1600.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 229 - Anthonette Cayedito
Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
April 6, 1986. Gallup, New Mexico. The mother of nine-year old Anthonette Cayedito wakes up to discover that her daughter is missing from their home and she cannot be found anywhere. Anthonette’s sister would later claim she was abducted by two men after answering the door in the middle of the night, though she does not reveal this information until years later. There are a number of strange developments in the investigation, including a frantic phone call to the police from a girl claiming to be Anthonette and a sighting of her with a couple at a diner in Nevada, but there is also suspicion that Anthonette’s family might have known about her disappearance than they revealed. Was Anthonette Cayedito the victim of an abduction or did something else actually happen? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a controversial missing children’s case which has gone without conclusive answers for the past 35 years.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Gallup Police Department at (505) 863-9365.

CrimeConVersations is a brand-new true crime podcast brought to you by CrimeCon UK. As part of the lead-up to CrimeCon UK in London, Crimecon UK is bringing two true crime podcasts together to find out more about their fascination with true crime. Each episode will explore subjects such as how they got involved in true crime, the cases that have stuck in their mind and the process behind their podcast. On this particular episode, Robin Warder from “The Trail Went Cold” and Aaron from “Generation Why” will not only be talking about these subjects, but will have an in-depth discussion about the murder of 11-year old Holly Staker, who was murdered in Waukegan, Illinois on August 17, 1992. A suspect named Juan Rivera would be charged with the murder and spend 19 years in prison for the crime, but this case would turn out to be one of the most outrageous wrongful convictions you will ever hear about.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 228 - Ben Charles Padilla & John Mikel Mutantu
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
May 25, 2003. Luanda, Angola. 50-year old Ben Charles Padilla, an American citizen overseeing a rebuilding project on a Boeing 727 at Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport, is reportedly seen boarding the plane alongside a Congolese mechanic named John Mikel Mutantu. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft takes off without clearance before it vanishes without a trac and an extensive search effort fails to find it. Since neither Padilla or Mutantu seemed to have the necessary training required to fly a 727 on their own, there is speculation that they may have been hijacked or another person was behind the controls when it took off. But if so, what actually happened to the two men and the missing aircraft? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a truly bizarre aviation mystery that has left everyone puzzled for the past two decades.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the FBI at (202) 324-3000.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 227 - Gloria Ross & Candy Belt
Wednesday May 26, 2021
Wednesday May 26, 2021
September 20, 1994. Oak Grove, Kentucky. 22-year old Candy Belt and 18-year old Gloria Ross are found dead at the massage parlour where they work, as they have both been shot in the head and had their throats slashed. It turns out the business was a front for a brothel and suspicion is directed towards a local police officer named Ed Carter, who is alleged to have been involved in a dispute with the massage parlour’s owner. Nineteen years later, Carter and two other suspects are charged for their roles in the murders, but since DNA evidence from the crime scene does not match any of them, they all wind up being acquitted at trial. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a brutal double homicide surrounded by scandal and allegations of police corruption which is often referred to as “The Kentucky Bordello Murders”. Special thanks to listener Samantha Hope Cannon for narrating the opening of this episode.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 226 - Peter Bergmann
Wednesday May 19, 2021
Wednesday May 19, 2021
June 16, 2009. Rosses Point, Ireland. The body of a man who appears to be in his late fifties or early sixties is found washed up on a beach and his cause of death is believed to be acute cardiac arrest. Four days earlier, the man had arrived in the nearby town of Sligo and checked into a hotel under the name “Peter Bergmann”, but it turns out this name was fake and he carries no identification. Investigators believe that he travelled to Ireland from another country and use CCTV footage to track his movements in the days prior to his death. They theorize that he spent time gradually disposing of items which might have provided a clue to his identity, but no one ever comes forward who recognizes this man. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a unique mystery involving an unidentified decent known as “Peter Bergmann”.

May 10, 1941. Carolina Beach, North Carolina. 36-year old Leila Bryan and her three-year old daughter, Mary Rachel Bryan, leave their home in the family car in order to drive to a nearby store, but never return. After they are reported missing, an extensive search fails to turn up any trace of them or their car, but Leila’s family suspects that her husband, E.C. Bryan, might be responsible for the disappearances. Decades later, investigators perform a dig under the concrete foundation of E.C.’s former residence, but fail to turn up anything, so Leila and Mary Rachel remain missing persons. At the request of Leila’s great grand-niece, this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold” will be commemorating the 80th anniversary of the baffling unsolved disappearance of a mother and daughter.

The Trail Went Cold - Episode 224 - Leah Roberts

Wednesday May 05, 2021
March 18, 2000. Whatcom County, Washington. A damaged Jeep belonging to 23-year old Leah Roberts is found at the bottom of an embankment next to a remote highway. Nine days earlier, Leah had left her home in North Carolina to take a cross-country road trip, but even though all of her personal possessions are left behind at the accident scene, Leah herself is missing. The investigation eventually uncovers evidence to suggest that the accident might have been staged and the Jeep was unoccupied when it went down the embankment. Further complications are also caused by strange anonymous phone call, as well as a reported eyewitness sighting of Leah with an unidentified man at a shopping mall restaurant. Was Leah Roberts actually inside her vehicle when it crashed or did she fall victim to an unknown third party? This week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold” explores an unsolved missing persons case involving a road trip which turned into a baffling mystery.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office at (360) 676-6650.
