We are excited to share the chat with our friend, Mobile Co Sheriff’s CSI & Forensic Genetic Genealogy superhero, Olivia McCarter, so thanks for listening in today!

In November of 2003, Mont Highley’s life was full of possibilities and adventure. He’d recently interviewed with a North Carolina company and was awaiting their hiring decision, the holidays and family time were upon him, and he was looking forward to spending time hunting with his father on Saturday after spending Thanksgiving with his family. On that Friday evening, November 28, the night before their planned father-son hunting time, Mont said his goodbyes and left his parents’ home for their Shorter, AL camp they nicknamed “the farm.” It would be the last time they would see or speak to him. Shock and grief would fall upon the Highley family when he’s found murdered 6 weeks later, only a few short miles from the farm.

In Part 2 we are joined by #CaptainScottBonner, a retired police officer and cold case investigator, now working as a Law Enforcement Specialist with #VoyagerLabs as we discuss a bit about his work along with the weekend Mont disappeared.

Our cases this week take us to the small town of Moulton in Lawrence Co Alabama.

26-year-old Phillip Newton Shelton was reported missing by his father on July 18, 1991. While Phillip's car was found shortly after his disappearance. His remains weren't found until June of 2003, less than a mile from where his car had been located.

A cousin found 33-year-old Thomas Ricky Terry, Ricky, slumped over in his red pickup truck - he had been shot 6 times at close range from a .22 caliber weapon. The evidence seemed clear but not enough to make any arrests, yet.

In July of 2021, 37-year-old John Wesley Johnson left his Hillsboro home in the Mountain Home community near Moulton. No one could report which direction he was headed and he’s never been seen or heard from since.

If you have any information on these cases, please call:

As always, for these or any Alabama cases, you may also contact us by emailing [email protected] or by using the contact form on alcoldcase.com.
