Cold Case Talk

In this episode, Ed Callison is arrested and details begin to emerge about what really happened in 2014 to his wife, Melanie Callison. Let's just say Melanie did not run off to Salt Lake City or San Francisco or Idaho. And there's a twist about a campfire and missing DNA. A warning: There are gruesome details and a bit of strong language.

Melanie Callison went missing from Richfield, Utah, in September of 2014, about five months after she married Ed Callison and got a tattoo on her back to celebrate.
