Over the past six years, âThe Trail Went Coldâ has released three special Q&A episodes in which Robin Warder answered a number of questions that were sent in by our audience. We have decided to put together another episode like this and received some interesting new questions from listeners. Which cases from the podcast do you believe will eventually be solved? Do you intend to cover every unsolved case that was featured on âUnsolved Mysteriesâ? Are there any cases that you will never cover? What are your thoughts on the JonBenet Ramsey murder and the recent Netflix documentary about the case? These questions and many others will be answered as we close out 2024 with our fourth Q&A episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ.
âThe Trail Went Coldâ will be appearing at the AdvocacyCon, taking place at the Indianapolis Marriott East in Indianapolis on March 28-30, 2025. To get a 10 % discount on tickets, please use our specialized promo code, âTRAIL10â, by visiting https://www.advocacycon.com/.

December 18, 1979. Moline, Illinois. 30-year old Cody James and 30-year old Gary Harker leave Garyâs woodcarving shop in Codyâs pick-up truck in order to make a delivery and collect some money, but they never return and the truck is later found abandoned across the state line in Davenport, Iowa. Four months after the disappearances, the pick-up is sold off at a police auction, but the new owners are shocked to discover Cody and Garyâs bodies concealed beneath some debris in the truck bed and it turns out both men have been bludgeoned to death. It is theorized that the crime was drug-related and even though photographs of two potential suspects are provided to investigators decades later, no one is ever charged with the murders. For our final holiday-themed episode of 2024, âThe Trail Went Coldâ chronicles a shocking double homicide which has remained unsolved for 45 years.

May 18, 2024. Redding, California. 39-year old Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain texts her sister from a hospital and says she is planning to drive to her mother-in-lawâs house, but she soon cuts off all contact with her family and disappears. One week later, Nikkiâs abandoned truck is discovered 50 miles away in a remote section of Tehama County, but searches of the area fail to find her. Prior to her disappearance, Nikki had filed domestic violence charges against her estranged husband, Tyler McCain, and they were scheduled to go to trial in the near-future. Even though Tyler and his family display suspicious behavior and provide constantly-changing and conflicting stories about the last time they saw Nikki, there is no direct evidence of foul play and Nikki cannot be found. On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we cover a recent missing persons case where the victimâs family is desperately searching for answers.
If you happen to have any information about this case, please contact the Shasta County Sheriffâs Office Major Crimes Unit at (530) 245-6135. You can also E-mail them at [email protected] or submit tips at www.scsecretwitness.com/submit-a-tip

August 22, 1965. South Bend, Indiana. 49-year old Edward Banish is murdered inside his home after being stabbed seven times. Over two months earlier, Edwardâs 18-year old son, Scott Banish, had gone missing after an apparent drowning accident in Lake Michigan, but eight days after his fatherâs murder, Scott is discovered to be alive and admits to having faked his own death. Even though Scott seems to have a solid alibi placing him over 2,500 miles away on the night of the crime, he eventually admits to killing Edward and is arrested and charged with second-degree murder. However, after Scott recants his confession, a grand jury rules that there is insufficient evidence to indict him, so the murder charges are dropped. Was Edward Banish actually stabbed to death by his son? If not, then who was actually responsible and what could their motive have been? On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore the bizarre story of a missing persons case which eventually evolved into an unsolved murder. Special thanks to listener Holly Dodson for narrating the opening of this episode.

Listen to Murder, She Told: an award-winning true-crime podcast created by victimâs advocate, Kristen Seavey that mostly covers lesser-known unsolved cases.
This is a preview of the episode about Ludger Belanger on âMurder, She Toldâ, which was originally published on November 19, 2024.
Ludger Belanger went missing while hunting in rural Washington, Maine in 1975. Though on the surface, it seemed like he vanished without a trace, tracks in the snow led detectives to a crucial piece of evidence and into a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with two men who might know exactly where to find him

January 12, 1994. Albuquerque, New Mexico. After dropping off a friend at a restaurant, 16-year old Jonathan Francia is carjacked and abducted from the parking lot in his motherâs Chevrolet Camaro. Five days later, the burned-out vehicle is discovered in the Arizona desert nearly 300 miles away and Jonathanâs charred remains are inside the trunk. A suspect named Paul Richardson is soon arrested and confesses that he committed the crime alongside an unidentified drifter known only as âJasonâ. Paul fatally hangs himself in his jail cell and while his wife, Trena Richardson, is later indicted after admitting to involvement in the murder, the charges wind up being dismissed after her confession is thrown out. Since the mysterious âJasonâ is never identified or tracked down, no one is ever convicted of Jonathanâs murder and the truth about what happened remains murky. On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore a brutal and frustrating crime which has yet to receive a conclusive resolution after three decades.

August 30, 2013. Castaic, California. An overturned abandoned SUV belonging to 19-year old Bryce Laspisa is discovered at the bottom of a steep embankment near Castaic Lake, but even though most of his personal possessions have been left behind, Bryce himself is nowhere to be found. While beginning his sophomore year at Sierra College in Rocklin, Bryce had been displaying erratic behaviour and seemed to be experiencing issues with drugs and alcohol before he made the inexplicable decision to drive hundreds of miles away. During his trip, Bryce seemingly spent long periods of time just sitting inside his parked SUV, but even though he assured his parents he would eventually join them at their home in Laguna Niguel, he vanishes before he arrives. On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore the unsolved disappearance of Bryce Laspisa, who went missing under very bizarre circumstances.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriffâs Department at (323) 890-5500.

August 30, 1990. Westerville, Ohio. The mother of 22-year old Tony Lombardi returns home, assuming her son is at work. Forty-five minutes later, she claims that she hears the sound of a door closing followed by footsteps and she soon discovers Tonyâs body on his bed. He has been shot through the head and a gun is lying on the floor next to him, but police rule Tonyâs death to be a suicide. However, Tonyâs family discovers injuries on his body to make them believe he was the victim of foul play and was possibly murdered by another man who was angry that Tony was dating his girlfriend, but his death is never reclassified.
June 30, 1991. Galesburg, Illinois. After not hearing from him for a day-and-a-half, the parents of 23-year old Danny Williams discover his dead body on a couch inside his house. He has been shot through the forehead and since a gun Danny owned is found in his lap, the police believe that his death was a suicide. Dannyâs family uncover a number of suspicious discrepancies to make them believe he was murdered, including the possible presence of small traces of blood at the scene which do not match Dannyâs blood type. A coronerâs jury officially list Dannyâs cause of death as âuncertainâ, but no conclusive evidence of foul play can be found.
On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we cover two suspicious suicide cases featured on âUnsolved Mysteriesâ involving young men who supposedly died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds, but their families felt differently.

December 12, 2014. Beaver County, Pennsylvania. A severed head belonging to an elderly woman is discovered in a rural wooded area about thirty feet from the nearest road, but the rest of her remains cannot be found. The head has rubber balls inside its eye sockets and since it has been embalmed, investigators are unable to extract any DNA to make an identification, so the victim becomes known as âThe Beaver County Jane Doeâ. While the authorities do not believe that foul play took place, a local resident named Jay Grabner starts displaying suspicious behaviour to indicate he might have some knowledge about the head. However, all attempts to determine the Beaver County Jane Doeâs identity and the circumstances of her death are unsuccessful. On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore an incredibly bizarre mystery about the discovery of a severed head.

November 1, 1974. North Adams, Massachusetts. After leaving a dance at a local lodge, 18-year old Kim Benoit goes missing. Two weeks later, Kimâs body is discovered at the bottom of an embankment in a remote area twelve miles away and it is determined that she was the victim of strangulation. In October 1976, 17-year old Cynthia âRockyâ Krizack goes missing after leaving her home in the nearby town of Williamstown and her body is also eventually found at the bottom of a remote embankment. Since Rocky has been strangled to death and there are similarities between the two cases, investigators look into the possibility that she was killed by the same person who murdered Kim, but both crimes remain unsolved. On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore a pair of cold cases from the Berkshires.
If you have any information about the featured cases, please contact the Berkshire County State Police Detective Unit at (413) 499-1112. Thatâs (413) 499-1112. For Kim Benoitâs murder, you can also contact the North Adams Police Department at (413) 664-4944 and for Cynthia âRockyâ Krizackâs murder, you can also contact the Williamstown Police Department at (413) 458-5733.

September 12, 1983. Wyoming, Ohio. 59-year old Dorothea Irwin is found stabbed to death inside her residence. Since she was in the midst of selling the house and said she was meeting an interested buyer, it is theorized that this person murdered her as part of an elaborate set-up. Suspicion turns towards Dorotheaâs son, John âJayâ Irwin, who had previously spent time in prison for fraud and encouraged his mother to put her home up for sale. Jay eventually commits some additional fraud schemes and becomes a wanted fugitive until he is captured in 1991, but no conclusive evidence links him or anyone else to Dorotheaâs murder. Who was responsible for killing Dorothea Irwin and what could their motive have been? We shall attempt to answer that question on this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ.

March 10, 2005. Foley, Missouri. 13-year old Bianca Piper is reported missing by her mother, Shannon Tanner, who claims that she dropped Bianca off on a rural road about a mile from their residence. Bianca struggled with numerous mental health issues, included attention deficit hyperactive disorder and bipolar disorder, and had just gotten into a dispute with her mother. According to Shannon, she followed the recommendation of one of Biancaâs therapists and drove her daughter down the road, so that she could walk back home alone and deal with her aggression, but Bianca never arrived. Since investigators are unable to find her, they start believing that Bianca was abducted and became the victim of foul play. Was Bianca Piper harmed by a stranger or did something else happen to her? On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore a missing childrenâs case which remained unsolved for two decades.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Lincoln County Sheriffâs Office at (636) 528-8546.

August 10, 1994. Vancouver, British Columbia. 55-year old Nick Masee and his 39-year old wife, Lisa Masee, tell people they are planning to meet a potential investor about a $10 million business deal, but after Nick makes a reservation at a local restaurant, no one shows up. The following morning, Lisa makes a pair of phone calls to say that she and Nick are leaving town for a few days, but the couple is never heard from again. A pair of plastic zip ties are found near the front door of the Masee residence to suggest that a kidnapping may have taken place, but there is also speculation that Nick and Lisa disappeared voluntarily. Were the Masees actually the victims of foul play? If so, what was the motive? On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore a Canadian cold case involving a missing couple which has gone unsolved for 30 years. Special thanks to listener Maria Gabriella for narrating the opening of this episode.

August 23, 2010. London, England. After he is not heard from for a week, the nude decomposed body of 31-year old Gareth Williams, a junior analyst who had been working with MI6, is found inside a padlocked holdall bag in the bathtub of his flat. While his cause of death cannot be determined, there are differing opinions about whether Gareth could have locked himself in the bag on his own and suffocated, or if he was murdered by an unknown third party. A number of different theories are pushed forward, such as Gareth being killed by Russian agents or becoming the victim of a sex game gone wrong, but there are no conclusive answers about how he died. Did Gareth Williams somehow manage to trap himself inside the bag and die in a tragic accident, or did something else take place? On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore of the most bizarre unexplained deaths in the history of the United Kingdom.

Reno, Nevada. 25-year old Star Palumbo is found wandering around through a restricted area at Reno-Tahoe International Airport and tells security that she is looking for her sister, even though she does not have one. An officer drives Star to the nearby Hilton Hotel and Casino and drops her off, but she soon vanishes without trace and her abandoned car is discovered at the airport one day later. Since Star had been displaying erratic and paranoid behaviour prior to her disappearance, investigators explore the possibility that she was on drugs or suffered some sort of mental breakdown, but even though there are a number of unconfirmed rumours about what might have happened to Star, no trace of her is ever found.

October 26, 2015. Calgary, Alberta. Lee Antoni, the husband of 31-year old Amanda Antoni, returns home, from a weekend trip and discovers Amandaâs body lying in a pool of blood inside their basement. Two days earlier, a phone call between Amanda and Lee had abruptly cut off and since her broken cell phone is found on the floor, police initially believe that Amanda was attacked and her death was a homicide. However, after failing to turn up any strong suspects or forensic evidence pointing towards an outside party, investigators start to consider the possibility that Amanda actually suffered an accidental fatal fall down the stairs. Was Amanda Antoni the victim of foul play or was her death nothing more than a tragic accident? On this weekâs episode of âThe Trail Went Coldâ, we explore a Canadian case that was recently featured on the âUnsolved Mysteriesâ reboot.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Calgary Police Service at (403) 266-1234 or the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
