Cold and Missing

Michael John Olson, a 20-year-old man who had moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, went missing on December 1st, 1979. He was last seen leaving a bar at around 4:30 am driving his maroon 1979 Grand Prix. Michael had spent the day playing golf, going to a dog track, and bar hopping with friends. Despite staying out late, his friends noted that he didn't drink much. When Michael didn't show up for work the next day, his friends went to his hotel but couldn't find his car. The hotel clerk believed Michael had skipped out on his bill and called the police. Michael's belongings were still in his hotel room, and his parents were shocked to learn he was missing. A private investigator hired by the family theorized that Michael may have been a victim of the serial killer Christopher Wilder, who was in the area at the time. However, no trace of Michael has ever been found.

Christine Cole, a 10-year-old girl from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, went missing on January 6, 1988. She was last seen at a market buying gum balls and milk. Despite extensive searches and investigations, Christine's body was not found until February 28, 1988, when it was discovered near a riverbank. The autopsy revealed that she died from asphyxiation, but it was unclear whether it occurred before or after she was placed in the water. The case was initially treated as a suspicious death, but later classified as a homicide.In 2019, an arrest was made based on a partial DNA match found on Christine's jeans. However, the state dropped the charges due to the DNA match being a paternal match that could potentially belong to other relatives.
