Catch my Killer

Ryan Singleton, was a 24-year-old model from Atlanta who had traveled to Los Angeles in July 2013 for what was supposed to be a weekend trip. He would disappear and end up dying under mysterious circumstances.


Ryan had rented a car and drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. While driving back, the rental car broke down in Death Valley. Afterward he began walking. Fortunately, he was spotted by California Highway Patrol and driven to a gas station in Baker, California. Ryan waited at the gas station for a friend to pick him up. But once the friend arrived to pick up Ryan, he was gone.


On September 21, 2013 two men were walking in the desert west of Baker, California when they found human remains. They called 911. Ryan’s death was listed as undetermined "due to advanced decomposition." It appeared that animals had removed several bones from the body. The body weighed 50 pounds and was nearly skeletonized. There were also no organs. The missing organs have drawn all kinds of theories from social media. One of these include black market organ harvesting. It’s also possible the organs were removed by animals. Iris Flowers has said she believes her son was a victim of illegal organ trafficking and that’s her believe until someone proves her wrong. Since her son’s death, Iris has tried to find out what happened to her son.


There is a documentary about Ryan’s life called Are we Famous yet? If you want to know more information about this case, there is a lot of information about this story on social media.

On May 19, 2019, Michael Coates was last seen at the home he shared with his mother. He was still at home when his mother left to run some errands. According to Michael's family, there was nothing unusual about that day. When Michael's mother arrived home later in the evening, he was gone. She thought he had left for the night and wasn't concerned.


The next day, an unidentified body was found in Muncie, Indiana's wastewater treatment center. The body was pulled from waste water and landed on a conveyor belt where waste is filtered. An employee at the facility found the body after it had fallen off the conveyor and landed on the concrete floor. His body would have been ground up had it not fallen off the conveyor belt. Michael's family heard about the unidentified body but didn't know who it belonged to.


The family learned that Muncie Police identified the corpse in the treatment center as Michael Coates. It's believed someone killed him and then placed his body into the sewer. Since Michael didn't have a car, it's unknown if he walked away from his home or if someone drove him somewhere. Teresa Dodd, who is one of Michael's sister's said her brother was a caring man who would do anything for his loved ones. Michael had a son who no longer has a father.


Unfortunately, Michael's family remains without answers three years after his death. Autopsy results indicate that his cause of death is unknown. For this episode, Teresa Dodd discusses the death of her brother and how he was discarded like trash.


The Muncie Police Department is asking the public for assistance in finding out what happened to Michael Coates. The family and law enforcement realize there are people out there who know who killed Michael. They understand people may be apprehensive about providing tips. Citizens with information about this case can report their tips anonymously. For this story, I spoke to Teresa Dodd who is seeking answers about her brother’s homicide.


A $5,000 reward is being offered by the family for any information that can help solve this case. What happened to Michael? If you know anything about this case, please contact Crime Stoppers at (765)286-4050 or you can reach out to the Muncie Police Department at (765)747-4867.

(Part 2 of 2) Shanaira Selden was born on May 17, 1994 in Florence South Carolina. According to her mother, Shameka Sells Moore, her daughter was last seen near her home by a neighbor in the Wyandotte Park area on October 21, 2019. Shameka, who lives in Radcliffe, KY, told a local media source that something strange was going on. Not only was her daughter missing, but she had left several important items behind. For instance, her cell phone, hijbab and prayer beads from her Muslim faith were left behind. She also left a photo of her son Ayden and a little bear that she kept to remember him by. Ayden was four when he was killed in a car accident in April 2018.


And Shameka said it wasn’t like her daughter to go anywhere without telling someone.
She said her daughter was a loving and kind person without any enemies.


Unfortunately, Shanaira's body was found nude and deceased floating in the Ohio River in New Albany, Ohio on October 27, 2019. Her death was originally been ruled a suicide but has since been changed to undetermined. For this story, I spoke to Shanaira’s mother Shameka Sells Moore about her daughter’s mysterious death.



What happened to Shanaira Selden? Why was her nude body floating in the Ohio River? And why was her clothing, shoes and backpack missing? Most likely someone removed her items and disposed of them before dumping her body into the river. Shameka is convinced someone killed her daughter and she doesn’t believe law enforcement has a sincere interest in finding out the truth. If you know anything about this story, please contact the Louisville PD anonymous tip line at 502-574-5673 or Indiana State Police at 317-232-8248.

(Part 2 of 2) This week’s unsolved homicide is about the story of an 18-year-old young woman named Deborah Sue Williamson who lived in Lubbock, Texas. She was stabbed 17 times in her carport. She would die just a few feet away from her front door. Deborah was a newlywed. She had recently married a man named Doug Williamson. She was supposed to meet her husband at the Pizza Inn restaurant he managed. After she didn’t show up, he became worried. He tried calling around to find out if anyone had seen his wife.


At 1 a.m. he left work and found her lifeless body. Naturally, Doug was the primary suspect since he was Deborah’s significant other. However, law enforcement cleared him because he was at work the entire evening and never left. Her case was basically forgotten for several years until a prolific killer named Henry Lee Lucas confessed to killing Deborah. This story was profiled on the Netflix series titled The Confession Killer.


Today, the case remains as cold as the heart of the person who killed Deborah. This would change when an investigative journalist named George Jared and his partner Jennifer Bucholtz, a former Army counter intelligence officer took an interest in the case. The crimefighting duo traveled to Lubbock, Texas to find out who killed Deborah Sue Williamson. Their investigation was more thorough than law enforcement’s. They visited the crime scene and investigated most of the key people involved in the case.


They put their findings together and presented them in a book titled “Silent Silhouette.” George has said the book doesn’t name any suspects. He presents case facts from his own interviews and the original police file and allows the reader to make his or her own deductions about what happened to Deborah Sue Williamson.


The case still hangs over Lubbock, Texas like a dark cloud. There is still hope that law enforcement can use modern technology to find evidence unseen to the human eye.
So who killed Deborah Sue Williamson nearly 50 years ago?


If you have any information about this case, please contact the Lubbock Police Department at 806-775-2865. You can also visit the Unsolved Murder of Deborah Sue Williamson (Deborah Agnew) FB page for updates to this case. You can order your own copy of the book titled Silent Silhouette: Who Killed Deborah Sue? Written by George Jared and Jennifer Bucholtz. And if you would like to reach out to George with theories, tips or questions about his work, you can contact him through his FB titled Author George Jared. I personally found George to be knowledgeable and an interesting man to discuss true crime with. He told me welcomes your thoughts and opinions about true crime stories he has covered.
