((This  episode proudly sponsored by Anchor.fm!)) - The 50-year-old Sacramento, California cold case of Carol Beth Hilburn (11/14/70) is still an active murder investigation. We were pleasantly surprised when we were contacted by Lynda Pinochi who is Carol's birth daughter. In all of the research we have done into Carol's case, there was never a mention of her having any children. Listen to this interview to find out why.

In this episode, we talked exclusively with Lynda about her journey of discovering how her birth mother met her end. She discusses how that knowledge has impacted her entire life, why she is now fully committed to solving Carol's murder and why she chose Solve Crimes with Rick & Gavin as her partners to solve this crime. In fact, we have actually identified a brand new suspect that has never been discussed in relation to Carol's case and we will be talking about that in our next episode about Carol Beth Hilburn.

((This  episode proudly sponsored by Anchor.fm!)) - Sacramento, California's  Judith Ann Hakari’s life was brutally taken. Please check out earlier episodes to catch up on this fascinating case.

In this episode titled, "Judy's Fiancé", we present an exclusive interview with Michael Willis, the son of the late Raymond Willis, Judy's fiancé at the time of her abduction and murder. As one could imagine, Judy's murder stuck with Ray his entire life and he discussed the case – and his involvement – with his son Michael many times over the years. Mike shares this information with us in this episode.

Also, we introduce our new Solve Crimes in-house homicide detective, Joe Cefalu who will be joining us in future episodes to give us his take on police procedures and to help us hone in on who might be responsible for these unsolved crimes. Welcome Joe!

The story of her disappearance is as shocking as it is brief.  As we researched her case, we found surprisingly little information. We’ve had a hard time locating anyone who knew her or remembers her. What we’re sharing with you in this video is everything that we’ve found.  It's been almost 50 years since Denise went missing, but we're still looking for her. We need your help. We also discuss how there IS a possibility that Denise's disappearance is connected with the Judith Hakari case.
