Cold Case Stories pulls back the curtain on unsolved murders and mysteries where DNA, genealogy, and forensic science finally rewrite the ending. Each episode pieces together case files, lab breakthroughs and court records to give a clear, evidence-focused narrative that honors victims and tracks the trail of cold-cases-adn investigation.

Expect methodical storytelling driven by forensic detail rather than sensationalism. We explain how DNA databases, genetic genealogy and laboratory work intersect with police procedure, showing what changed in the case and why it matters now. The tone is calm, precise and investigative—built for listeners who want clarity, not conjecture.

New episodes release every day: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 9:00 AM. Episodes range from concise case briefings to deeper multi-part investigations, always citing sources and timelines so you can follow the evidence yourself.

This podcast is for attentive True Crime listeners, genealogy enthusiasts and anyone frustrated by unresolved cases who wants factual updates on cold-case DNA breakthroughs. If you care about justice, scientific method and the real human stories behind unsolved files, Cold Case Stories is made for you.

  • The Tooth in the River That Put a Killer Behind Bars

    The Tooth in the River That Put a Killer Behind Bars
    2026/09/10
    The Tooth in the River That Put a Killer Behind Bars

    A sealed produce bag, a human molar with the root and dried blood, and a single tan pump found wedged upright in a drowned sycamore launched a forty-two-year mystery about a woman murdered by manual strangulation. Who deliberately knotted, bagged, and hid that tooth in a missing shoe, and why did it take four decades and a misfiled census page to point investigators toward closure?

    In this episode, we tell the factual story of Janet Hunter’s murder in September 1979, the early investigation that produced a plaster bite-mark cast, the evidence that went into storage, and the cold-case work decades later that re-opened the file and followed the trail from a frozen tooth to new leads. How did small overlooked details - a rotated incisor in a bite cast, a faulty rear door latch, and unexpected DNA uploads - change everything?

    Person: Janet Hunter
    Date: September 11-14, 1979
    Location: Dellwood, Indiana
    Cause: Manual strangulation
    Investigator: Sheriff Arnie Pace

    - A tan pump, left foot, size seven with a brass buckle, was found wedged upright in submerged branches of a drowned sycamore on September 14, 1979.
    - Inside that shoe was a clear plastic produce bag knotted twice containing a human molar with the root attached and dried blood on the enamel.
    - Dr. Leonard Vance documented a full dental arch bite-mark on Janet Hunter’s left forearm and made a plaster cast showing a rotated upper-left lateral incisor.
    - Kevin Trout, age 26, was a prime suspect within three weeks but his dental X-rays showed no rotation of the upper-left lateral incisor and he was never charged.
    - The tooth evidence sat in a property-evidence freezer for forty-two years before DNA and genealogy leads from a misfiled census page and a consumer DNA kit reignited the case.

  • Dry Tote, Sealed Birthday Card, Rooted Hair: The Postmaster Revealed

    Dry Tote, Sealed Birthday Card, Rooted Hair: The Postmaster Revealed
    2026/09/09
    Dry Tote, Sealed Birthday Card, Rooted Hair: The Postmaster Revealed

    The tote bag was found dry, upright and sealed in scrub oak three miles from any road - despite rain days earlier - with helium balloons still holding air and no footprints leading to it; inside was a sealed birthday card in Jennifer Burke’s handwriting and a single root-attached hair that did not belong to her. Who left a perfectly preserved bag in an inaccessible field and why did one stray hair become the hinge that would later reopen this case?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries from August 14, 1991 through decades of cold-case work, chronicling the tote bag, the sealed card, the non-victim root-attached hair, the original mitochondrial testing in 2004, and the new nuclear DNA possibilities that emerged by 2019 - could modern DNA methods finally answer who was responsible?

    Person: Jennifer Burke
    Date: August 14, 1991 (bag found); August 9, 1991 (disappearance)
    Location: landlocked scrub oak parcel three miles from the nearest route; Calloway Township area; Aldgate Street
    Status: Jennifer Burke found deceased; cause of death manual strangulation; tote bag preserved as state evidence
    Event: single root-attached non-victim hair logged separately by evidence technician Robert Speer in September 1991

    - The tote bag was discovered upright, dry and sealed with mylar "50" balloons still inflated.
    - Jennifer Burke had been missing for five days when the tote was found on August 14, 1991.
    - Jennifer worked at the Calloway Township branch library for 19 years and was 52 years old in 1991.
    - Evidence technician Robert Speer bagged the non-victim root-attached hair separately in September 1991 and noted its origin in handwriting.
    - Mitochondrial analysis in 2004 excluded every tested suspect and confirmed the hair was not Jennifer’s, with nuclear DNA methods becoming practical by 2019.

  • The Mason Jar Note: "She Did Not Leave" Buried for Decades

    The Mason Jar Note: "She Did Not Leave" Buried for Decades
    2026/09/08
    The Mason Jar Note: "She Did Not Leave" Buried for Decades

    A sealed one-gallon mason jar sat three feet down on a concrete shelf above the waterline inside a septic tank for more than thirty years, holding a pink cotton scrap and a four-word notecard: "she did not leave." What caused someone to bury that message beside a property where Crystal Murphy vanished on July 14, 1991 - and who knew the truth all along?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries and documents found across three decades, from the morning Ruth Sullivan hit glass with a steel probe on July 9, 2022 to the buried foreman's note rescued from a storage box; we follow the threads that link a blouse fiber, a sealed tank, and an unusual construction request to the unanswered question: was Crystal taken or did she leave?

    Person: Crystal Murphy
    Date: July 14, 1991
    Location: Caldwell Lane, Pickett County
    Event: Discovery of mason jar and notecard on July 9, 2022
    Document: Foreman's note requesting secondary port be sealed "tamper-proof" on July 17, 1991

    - The mason jar was found three feet deep in a secondary access port on July 9, 2022 at 9:17 AM.
    - The notecard inside contained exactly four words written in blue ballpoint: "she did not leave."
    - The pink cotton fabric in the jar later matched fiber type and dye lot to a blouse listed among Crystal Murphy's personal effects.
    - Crystal rode her bicycle two and a half miles east on Caldwell Lane each morning, touching a collapsed stone gatepost and returning by 7:00 AM.
    - Tri-County Excavation's foreman recorded on July 17, 1991 that a customer asked the secondary port be sealed from the outside and made "tamper-proof."
