Cold Case Crew

We are SO thankful to be able to bring you this DEEP DIVE on our Tammy Jean Daniel episode. This episode delves deeper into the relationship between Tammy and Gene, gives additional information about the night June 2, 1987 and allows the listener a deeper insight into the beautiful person Tammy was in life. WV Locals SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. Let's bring Tammy Home.

In the early morning hours of June 2, 1987, twenty four (24) year old Tammy Jean Daniel was dropped off at her residence in Stanaford, WV after a night out at the El Cid Club in Beckley. The residence was locked and en lieu of waking her sleeping husband, she told her mother that she was going to sleep in a tent that had been set up on their lawn. Reluctantly her mother left, but when she returned only moments later, her daughter was gone. Tammy Daniel was never seen again. Efforts to reach their daughter were dismal and fraught with more questions. What fate befell this beautiful blonde haired young woman? Join the Cold Case Crew as they discuss “The Disappearance of Tammy Jean Daniel,” a 1987 Cold Case local to Raleigh County, West Virginia.

STILL ANONYMOUS— On May 10, 1950, a mushroom picker named Benjamin Mills discovered the nude body of a redheaded woman that had been discarded down an embankment (known by locals as "Lovers Leap") on a secluded section of US 522 just outside of Berkeley Springs, WV. An autopsy revealed that the female had been strangled with a rope or similar means of asphyxiation in addition to being beaten.

She is described as being between the ages of 30-40 years, 5’5” tall and weighing 125-130 pounds. She has the following identifiable scars: a Y shaped scar on the outside of her right wrist, a W shaped scar on her forehead, a 4” appendectomy scar and a 10” hysterectomy scar. Though her eye color was unable to be identified, she did have red hair and freckles on her arms and hands.
