True crime

A personal note from COLD host Dave Cawley: I can’t thank you enough for listening to COLD. We’re between seasons right now, but I’m dropping into the feed to let you know about a podcast you might like.

 

It’s the brand-new second season of The Letter, a show from my friend and colleague Amy Donaldson. Season 2 of The Letter is called “Ripple Effect.” It’s about a bizarre double murder back in 1982, where a restaurant manager and a laundry truck driver were both shot to death. The killer was quickly caught, but his story didn’t make sense to police or to the families of the men he killed. And without spoiling it, I can tell you there are some major twists.

 

I’ve watched and listened as Amy and co-writer Andrea Smardon have weaved candid, emotional stories about families affected by violence in both seasons of The Letter. They do true crime differently, getting in deep with the people whose lives are upended. In The Letter season 2, they explore how grief, anger, remorse, and forgiveness can even ripple outward across generations. It’s an impactful listen.

 

Please give The Letter season 2: Ripple Effect a try. You can find the show here or at theletterpodcast.com.

The Search For Sheree | Bonus: The Causey Search | 15

Ten years before Sheree Warren disappeared, another young mother vanished from her workplace in the suburbs of Ogden, Utah. Nancy Perry Baird’s case shares many similarities with Sheree Warren’s. Both were young mothers, recently divorced, working to support themselves. Police in both cases theorized a serial killer might be responsible. To this day, many of Nancy Baird's own relatives believe Ted Bundy abducted and killed her; a claim Bundy denied. COLD has obtained exclusive access to the Nancy Baird case files. In this bonus episode of COLD season 3, journalist and host Dave Cawley uncovers new evidence that illuminates Ted Bundy’s role in Nancy’s disappearance.




Season 3 of Cold includes descriptions of rape, sexual assault, murder and domestic violence. Please take care when listening.

The Search For Sheree | Talking Cold: Burning Questions with Dave Cawley | 13

If you get an unsolicited sexual call or nude picture sent to you, is that a crime? You may be surprised by the answer. One of the suspects in the disappearance of Sheree Warren in 1985 was caught making lewd phone calls to women multiple times. Do these types of crimes often escalate to other, more aggressive behaviors? Joining hosts Amy Donaldson & Sheryl Worsley for the discussion on this edition of Talking Cold: prosecutor and division director of the Salt Lake County Special Victims Unit Anna Rossi Anderson and former FBI profiler and host of the Killer Psyche & Killer Psyche Daily podcasts, Candice DeLong.
