Each episode reconstructs real cold-case investigations driven by forensic DNA, genealogy breakthroughs, and the procedural sleuthing that reopened files once thought closed. Expect clear timelines, source-backed evidence, and interviews with experts who explain how DNA and genetic genealogy changed investigations, without sensationalism or speculation. New episodes drop every day: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 7:00 PM, with focused 30–50 minute installments that examine one case, the forensic methods involved, and the path toward resolution. This show is for listeners who want precise, evidence-centered storytelling about cold cases solved or advanced through DNA, and for armchair investigators curious about how genetic genealogy, CODIS matches, and mitochondrial and Y-STR analyses work in practice. If you follow true crime for facts, forensic detail, and the real impact on victims’ families, Cold Cases Mysteries gives you the technical context and human consequences that matter.

  • The Tree Remembered: The Nancy Wilson Cold Case

    The Tree Remembered: The Nancy Wilson Cold Case
    2026/08/06
    The Tree Remembered: The Nancy Wilson Cold Case

    A single pink size 5 canvas sneaker, wedged three and a half feet up in a cedar tree and partially swallowed by bark, sat untouched for 31 years before a county surveyor found it - and the tread held human blood and two DNA contributors, one matching the victim. How did that sneaker survive three decades in a tree, and whose DNA stayed with it long enough to reopen a case that had shadowed a wrongly suspected ex for twenty years?

    In this episode, we tell the story of how a solitary piece of evidence moved an inactive investigation back into motion, following the discovery, the lab results, and one cold-case investigator's work that led from a filed photo to a courtroom confession. Can the memory kept by a tree and a tiny sneaker finally answer what happened to Nancy Wilson?

    Person: Nancy Wilson
    Date: May 9, 1991 (time of death placed on the evening of May 9)
    Location: Sycamore Branch Road and a creek bed ~0.5 mile northeast (Pelham County, Virginia)
    Status: Case reopened after 31 years; led to a confession at trial
    Investigator: Jason Edwards (sole Pelham County cold case desk staff in spring 2022)

    - A pink women's size 5 canvas sneaker was found wedged ~3.5 feet high in a cedar tree with bark grown around the heel.
    - The sneaker was discovered on May 14, 2022 by surveyor Ralph Hamilton while clearing a sight line.
    - Lab tests found red clay, decomposed organic material, a luminol reaction for human blood, and two DNA contributors including Nancy Wilson.
    - Nancy Wilson left work at 5:15 PM on May 9, 1991 and her body was found May 12, 1991 in a creek bed; cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
    - Over 60 interviews were conducted in the original eight-month investigation; Greg Aldridge was the primary suspect but was never charged and died in 2011.

  • The Cedar Shoe Tree: 31 Years Between Dinner and Dirt

    The Cedar Shoe Tree: 31 Years Between Dinner and Dirt
    2026/08/05
    The Cedar Shoe Tree: 31 Years Between Dinner and Dirt

    A buried size 10½ leather oxford with a cedar shoe tree inside was pulled from a rental cabin yard in Harlow County, Vermont - and it had been underground for thirty-one years. One man vanished on April 19, 1991, leaving an unfinished cabinet, a truck in the driveway, and a sister who set his place at Thursday dinner for decades; what really happened that spring night remains unresolved.

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of discoveries and stalled investigations that linked a shoe, dental records, a fourteen-month genealogy search, and a later confession to an old missing-persons file - and we follow the threads that forced investigators to re-open names thought long since settled. Which three overlooked details finally fit together after three decades of silence?

    Person: Wayne Richardson
    Date: April 19, 1991
    Location: Birch Terrace, Dunmore, Harlow County, Vermont
    Status: Missing (no body, no conviction)
    Person: Dorothy Vance

    - A brown leather oxford size 10½ with a cedar shoe tree was dug up on April 4, 2022.
    - Wayne Richardson was 53 years old in spring 1991.
    - Wayne was last seen after visiting a rental cabin on Cutter Mill Road on April 17, 1991.
    - A dark sedan and an unidentified man were seen in Richardson’s driveway on April 16-17, 1991 by neighbor Agnes Whitfield.
    - Detective Ray Cobble investigated the case for nearly two years and focused on Donald Prue after a payment dispute two months before the disappearance.

  • The Foot in the Culvert: How a Freezer DNA Broke Silence

    The Foot in the Culvert: How a Freezer DNA Broke Silence
    2026/08/04
    The Foot in the Culvert: How a Freezer DNA Broke Silence

    A single mummified human foot inside a white-and-teal New Balance turned a quiet culvert into the key that reopened a 29-year-old disappearance; a laminated gym card with the name Sharon Petersen lay pressed above the waterline. Who had been carrying a half-century routine, two pairs of shoes, and then vanished-only to leave enough preserved tissue and paper records to force science to answer decades later?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries from the morning Tracy Sullivan found the shoe on Birch Mill Road to the decades-old tibia that sat in an evidence freezer, asking how preserved evidence and archived records ultimately challenged the old assumptions about Sharon Petersen’s fate.

    Person: Sharon Petersen
    Date: March 8, 1993 (last confirmed sighting) and March 11, 2022 (shoe discovery)
    Location: Birch Mill Road culvert on the southwest edge of Alderman Marsh, Kellerton, Indiana
    Status: Missing for 29 years; human foot recovered in 2022; tibia recovered in 1994 preserved in evidence freezer
    Event: Partial tibia recovered in 1994 and mummified foot found in 2022 preserved by saponification

    - The shoe found March 11, 2022 was a women's size 8 New Balance, white and teal, with double-knotted laces.
    - Sharon Petersen ran a fixed 3.5-mile loop each morning that took her 51 minutes and left at approximately 5:15 a.m.; last confirmed sighting about 5:40 a.m.
    - Investigators compiled a 212-name suspect list during the initial 18-month investigation after her 1993 disappearance.
    - A partial human tibia was recovered from Alderman Marsh in 1994, tested then but too degraded for a match, and placed in an evidence freezer with chain of custody maintained.
    - Kenneth Farris, Sharon’s ex-husband and a focal person of interest, died in 2007 and was never charged.
