Unresolved DNA leads, fading witness memories, and legal blind spots are where Cold Case True Crime starts. Each episode pulls apart forensic records, genealogical breakthroughs and investigative detail to reopen files that time nearly closed. This show focuses on cold-cases-adn: how DNA evidence, genetic genealogy and modern lab work change what was once unsolvable into a path toward answers. Expect methodical narration, primary-source documents explained in plain language, and the procedural context that separates speculation from evidence. New installments arrive every day — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday — at 9:00 AM, so you can follow breakthroughs as investigations evolve. Episodes vary in length but consistently deliver case background, DNA analysis walkthroughs, and the legal and ethical implications that follow new identifications. Cold Case True Crime is for listeners who want more than headlines: family members seeking clarity, armchair investigators who value forensic accuracy, and true crime fans fascinated by genetic genealogy and laboratory methods. If you want clear, evidence-centered storytelling about cold cases where ADN plays a decisive role, subscribe and listen at 9:00 AM daily to stay updated.

  • The Left Shoe and the Payphone: How a Name Broke Silence

    The Left Shoe and the Payphone: How a Name Broke Silence
    2026/07/26
    The Left Shoe and the Payphone: How a Name Broke Silence

    A single left sneaker in a gallon zip‑lock bag, a woman’s name scribbled on a folded note, and seven digits that traced to a payphone removed twenty‑six years earlier - the tiny clue left at a curb in 2022 reopened a thirty‑one‑year‑old murder that had gone cold. How did a payphone call on the night Sarah Thorpe vanished become the thread that unspooled two murders and cleared a wrongfully blamed man?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from Sarah Thorpe’s disappearance on October 17, 1991 through the discovery on March 4, 2022, and the genetic genealogy work that revived the case, asking how one overlooked detail shifted everything and who placed that call from the Route Nine Sunoco payphone.

    Person: Bruce Wells
    Date: March 4, 2022
    Location: Pembrook Street, Calloway Falls, Ohio
    Event: Discovery of left shoe sealed in gallon zip‑lock bag inside chest freezer
    Case: Sarah Thorpe disappearance and murder, October 17-18, 1991

    - The sneaker was a women’s size seven, left foot, and had been missing for thirty‑one years.
    - The note tucked against the shoe contained one woman’s name and seven digits for a payphone removed twenty‑six years earlier.
    - Sarah Thorpe disappeared from a birthday hall at 11:15 PM on October 17, 1991 after answering a call at 10:43 PM from the Route Nine Sunoco payphone.
    - Sarah’s body was found at 6:45 AM on October 18, 1991 in a drainage ditch on County Road Fourteen; cause of death was strangulation by a thin nylon‑type ligature.
    - A partial male DNA profile from skin cells on Sarah’s neck, labeled Unknown Male One, remained unmatched in databases until genetic genealogist Eric Myers uploaded it in January 2019.

  • The Bite That Stayed Frozen: How a 1979 Cast Cracked a Killer

    The Bite That Stayed Frozen: How a 1979 Cast Cracked a Killer

    The Bite That Stayed Frozen: How a 1979 Cast Cracked a Killer

    A frozen wax cast of seven tooth impressions sat untouched in evidence for thirty-six years, the single physical clue from a woman found strangled and hidden in goldenrod on September 4, 1979. Who left a clear upper-arch bite with one chipped incisal edge, and why did the investigation focus on a man whose dentition did not match the cast?

    In this episode, we tell what the case file contains and how routine details - a garden notebook, a foreman at the lumberyard, and a cast in a chest freezer - shaped decades of inquiries; what question finally reopened the file and led toward the truth?

    Person: Wendy Griffin
    Date: September 4, 1979
    Location: drainage channel on Vesper Mill Road, Calhoun Falls
    Cause: manual strangulation; body moved after death
    Evidence: wax cast of seven upper-tooth impressions preserved in a chest freezer for 36 years

    - The body was discovered by road grader operator Randy Tillman at sunrise on September 4, 1979, a quarter mile from the nearest occupied house.
    - The bite mark on Wendy Griffin's left forearm displayed seven distinct tooth impressions from the upper arch with one chipped incisal edge.
    - Wendy Griffin was 38 years old, worked at Vance Lumber, and tended her garden every Wednesday evening from April through October.
    - Louis Farber, a foreman at Vance Lumber, had been seen arguing with Wendy about ten days before her death and had no verified alibi for the night of September 3, 1979.
    - A Pittsburgh odontologist concluded in 1979 that the wax cast did not match Louis Farber's dentition.

  • The Grocery List That Framed a Small-Town Killer

    The Grocery List That Framed a Small-Town Killer

    The Grocery List That Framed a Small-Town Killer

    A routine Thursday walk ends with an olive-green tote and an eight-item grocery list tucked inside a paperback-written in block capitals for someone who had spent twenty-three years handling the town’s mail. Thirty-one years later that printed handwriting will finally crack a case that began with a postmaster who never made it home. Who wrote the list, and why was it in Jean Smith’s bag?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from Jean Smith’s last known movements to the discovery of her body on Ridgepost Road and the mysterious envelope found between pages 112 and 113 of her paperback; we ask whether Jean placed the list in her tote herself or whether someone else left it there as a deliberate clue.

    Person: Jean Smith
    Date: August 8, 1991
    Location: Ridgepost Road, Carvell, Oregon
    Status: Homicide, cause strangulation, time of death between 6 and 9 PM
    Item found: Olive-green canvas tote with romance paperback containing a Carvell Municipal Utilities mailer with an eight-item grocery list printed in blue ballpoint block capitals

    - Jean Smith had been Carvell postmaster for 23 years and postmaster for the last 9 years.
    - Jean walked four blocks to her sister Norma’s house every Thursday for six years without missing a visit.
    - Jean left home between 8:30 and 9:00 PM on August 8, 1991 and did not return; her car remained in the driveway.
    - Her body was found four days later, approximately 40 feet off Ridgepost Road, partially covered by arranged sword ferns.
    - The grocery list included exactly eight items, including “stamps, quantity twenty,” and was written on the back of a Carvell Municipal Utilities water-bill mailer.
