This week on Cold and Missing Ali and Eli to look into the 1990 cold case of Shirley McAvoy. In August of 1990 Shirley was living in Pittsfield, Maine when she disappeared. Family and friends thought that she was taking some time to herself to process her recent separation from her husband. When family and friends go to her home to winterize it for when she returned they found a large blood stain under a couch. Months later in November a deer hunter will find the skeletal remains of Shirley in Spotsylvania, Virginia. Police quickly zero in a suspect they believed is called ‘Jerry’ but they were never able to track him down. Join us as we go through the timeline of this horrible cold case.
