  • The Lady of The Dunes

    On July 26th, 1974, the body of a woman was found on Race Point Beach in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It was an extremely gruesome crime scene, and parts of the woman's body had been removed, possibly to prevent identification. This woman became known as The Lady of The Dunes as the authorities worked for years to try to identify her and solve her murder.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the case of The Lady of The Dunes. There were some leads over the years, and theories emerged as to the woman's identity. As advancements in DNA came about, those were used to try to identify the woman. It wasn't until 2022 that part of the mystery of The Lady of The Dunes was solved. She was officially identified as Ruth Marie Terry. With identification came very interesting leads into who her likely killer was.

  • The Murder of Jared Bridegan

    Jared Bridegan was gunned down in the Jacksonville, Florida, area in February of 2022. His two-year-old daughter was left in the vehicle unharmed but is thought to have witnessed her father's murder. Jared was a father of four. He had two young daughters with his current wife, Kirsten, and twins with his ex-wife Shanna Gardner-Fernandez. Jared's divorce from Shanna and the subsequent custody battle was extremely contentious.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss this currently developing case. One man named Henry Tenon has been arrested in connection with Jared's murder. This arrest has led to much speculation that more arrests may soon be coming after it came out that Tenon had a connection to Shanna's husband. The police have not released many details, but it has not stopped people from theorizing that it is possible that Jared's murder was orchestrated by someone who, at one time, had been very close to him.

  • Introducing COLD: The Search for Sheree

    Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her Page 2 of 2 car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.

    When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn't the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.

    Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

  • The Strip Search Caller

    A series of disturbing & frightening phone calls targeted dozens of businesses and people over an extended period of time. These calls were placed all over the country, and the person on the other end posed as a law enforcement official. What this caller instructed people to do to others was not only wrong and humiliating, it was, in many instances, criminal on the part of both the caller and the person who answered the phone.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the person known as The Strip Search Caller. He often targeted fast-food restaurants and told managers that one of their employees, and sometimes even customers, had stolen. The caller then convinced the managers to strip search the so-called thief and many other degrading acts. The police narrowed in on a prime suspect, but could they put together enough evidence to convince a jury of his guilt?

  • Heidi Broussard

    In 2019, Heidi Broussard and her 16-day-old daughter, Margo, went missing in Austin, Texas. Her fiancee, Shane Carey, was viewed by many as a prime suspect after he did several interviews. But, police were focusing on another suspect, someone who was also very close to Heidi. As shocking as this crime turned out to be, it was even more shocking who the police had in their sights as the prime suspect.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the disappearance and murder of Heidi Broussard. Heidi and Shane had built their life in Austin, Texas, and had a 6-year-old son when Margo was born. Friends and family all agreed that she would never just up and vanish, leaving behind her son and fiancee. When police arrested Heidi's good friend Magen Fieramusca for kidnapping and murder, it was a shock to all that knew them. And as it turned out, Magen's plan was to pass Margo Carey off as her own daughter, Luna Mae.

He's a wealthy beauty entrepreneur with his own range of toiletries.

    Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They kiss and fall in love. Roll credits.

  • Wondery Presents: Frozen Head

    Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid.

    When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that's the end of his story. But, really, it's just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next.

  • Julie Jensen

    In December 1998, Julie Jensen was murdered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. After an investigation by police, Julie's husband, Mark Jensen, was identified as the prime suspect. He was charged with murdering Julie by poisoning her with antifreeze and then smothering her. He was convicted of the murder in 2008.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Mark Jensen and the death of Julie Jensen. One of the biggest indicators of guilt, according to jurors, was something Julie had written and given to a neighbor before her death. It said that if anything happened to her, look at her husband, Mark. Mark's conviction was eventually overturned because it was ruled that he had the right to confront his accuser about this evidence. As this episode releases, Mark is back on trial for Julie's murder. But many years have passed, and her letter has been ruled inadmissible. Will this jury see things the same way as the jury did in 2008?

  • Steven Koecher

    Steven Koecher disappeared near Las Vegas, Nevada, in December 2009. Steven's 2003 Chevy Cavalier was found parked on a cul-de-sac in a planned development called Sun City. The homeowner's association noticed the car had been there for some time, saw flyers for a window washing service, and called the number. It turned out that Steven worked for the service in St. George, Utah, 120 miles away.

    Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the mysterious disappearance of Steven Koecher. This case has been talked about and debated online for years. The first mystery is why Steven was in Nevada in the first place, and it was revealed that he had made previous trips to the same area. Eyewitnesses and video surveillance add some information to the case but leave more questions unanswered than answered. What was Steven Koecher doing near Las Vegas, and what happened to him?
