Each episode reconstructs real cold-case investigations driven by forensic DNA, genealogy breakthroughs, and the procedural sleuthing that reopened files once thought closed.

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 Birthday Candle in the Shoe: How DNA Broke a Thirty-One-Year Silence

    The Birthday Candle in the Shoe: How DNA Broke a Thirty-One-Year Silence

    A single navy shoe balanced on a concrete piloti with a dry birthday candle tucked inside its paper sleeve, sitting undisturbed in four inches of moving water - an impossible scene that meant someone had placed it there. Thirty-one years later, a mailed saliva sample to an ancestry service would send the frozen physical evidence from Forsyth County back into motion; who placed the candle and why did Valerie Hunter end up two hundred yards downstream from a shoe she did not wear?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Valerie Hunter's last confirmed sighting after a March 7 birthday party to the morning her body was found on March 9, 1991, and trace how the investigation circled the same small building and a coal door with no lock before a modern DNA lead emerged. How did a routine life with fixed rhythms end at Tanner Creek Park, and what finally broke the thirty-one-year silence?

    Person: Valerie Hunter
    Date: March 9, 1991
    Location: Tanner Creek Park, two hundred yards upstream from the shoe
    Status: Body found; strangled by hand; no charges for thirty-one years
    Event: Autumn 2022 saliva sample sent to an ancestry service

    - Shoe: navy women's pump, size eight, heel pointing skyward, found balanced on a concrete piloti in four inches of moving water
    - Candle: an unmelted birthday candle tucked inside the shoe's paper sleeve, undisturbed despite moving water that should destroy paper in minutes
    - Victim age and occupation: Valerie Hunter, 26, receptionist from Alderton who had never missed a shift
    - Discovery timeline: shoe found at 6:15 a.m. by runner Donald Mueller; body found before 8:00 a.m. tucked beneath birch branches on the north bank
    - Key structure: coal door at Waverly Place with no lock, providing direct stairwell access to the second-floor hallway outside Valerie's apartment

  • The Shoe That Stood: How a Frozen Pump Exposed a Killer

    The Shoe That Stood: How a Frozen Pump Exposed a Killer

    Cold, deliberate, and impossible to balance: a single burgundy pump, size seven, stood upright on frozen condensation atop a padlocked chest freezer where a woman lay strangled inside. That shoe, a removed brass Master lock found thirty feet away, and a steel padlock that didn't belong to the station became the only physical puzzle pieces - who placed the shoe and why?

    In this episode, we tell the story of the discovery at Crossland Fuel Plaza and follow the trail of small details that connected a freezer, a notebook, and a route Karen Sullivan drove every February - could a shoe and two locks really point to a killer?

    Person: Karen Sullivan
    Date: February 9, 1987
    Location: Crossland Fuel Plaza, Route Nine
    Detective: Harlan Pryce, 44 years old
    Vehicle: 1984 Dodge Aries

    - At 8:14 AM a meter reader named Karen Sullivan found a single burgundy pump, size seven, standing upright on top of a padlocked chest freezer.
    - Inside the freezer was Karen Sullivan, age 47, who had been strangled.
    - Crossland's brass Master lock was found hanging open on the propane cage thirty feet from the freezer.
    - The freezer was sealed with a steel padlock that did not belong to Crossland.
    - Karen's last notebook entry read: Crossland, Route Nine, February 8, 1987, $1.07 per gallon, 312 miles.

  • The Freezer Found a Library Card - He'd Been Waiting 29 Years

    The Freezer Found a Library Card - He'd Been Waiting 29 Years
    2026/10/25
    The Freezer Found a Library Card - He'd Been Waiting 29 Years

    A laminated Drover County library card with the name Kevin Weber was found placed in the open palm of Amanda Weber when her body was discovered in a church annex chest freezer in January 2022; the card expired February 1993 and linked her death to a brother who vanished 29 years earlier. Who deliberately positioned that card, and why bring a missing brother’s library card into a scene after nearly three decades?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline from Amanda's last shift at Harwick Regional Hospital to the discovery of her locked car and the evidence that tied her death to a cold missing-persons case; we follow the calls, witnesses, and physical clues that raise the question of whether someone beside Amanda carried the secret of Kevin’s disappearance all along.

    Person: Amanda Weber
    Date: January 9, 2022
    Location: Calvary Lutheran Church annex, Harwick
    Case: Kevin Weber missing since fall 1993
    Evidence: Drover County Public Library card exp. February 1993

    - Amanda left Harwick Regional Hospital at 7:15 a.m, on January 9, 2022 after working overnight shifts.
    - Amanda's gray Honda Civic was found locked in a gravel lot on Millbrook Road on January 10, 2022 with her phone in the center console and a bowling bag in the trunk.
    - Two days before she disappeared, Amanda received an 11-minute call from a prepaid phone that was later discarded and not independently traced.
    - A neighbor saw an older, heavyset man in a canvas work coat enter Amanda's apartment building the evening of January 8, 2022; a dark older American sedan was parked outside.
    - A laminated Drover County Public Library card bearing the name Kevin Weber, expired February 1993, was found deliberately placed in Amanda’s open palm inside the chest freezer.
