The Fort Worth Missing Trio Part 4: Jon Swaim and the Brazoria Bones

For family members of the victims of unsolved homicide cases, day to day reality is different. They spend considerable amount of time trying to make sense of exactly what happened and why. It sometimes consumes them, continually lurking in the mind of these victims’ loved ones.The lack of justice is nagging; pondering whether the perpetrator is alive or dead and the possibly free life they lived after taking a life, or lives, as they struggle their entire lives to pick up the pieces and move on is a trying existence. For those of us who haven’t experienced this, there is no way to fathom the emotional repercussions that these individuals struggle with as a result of their loved ones’ unresolved deaths…We can empathize, sure, but the only way we can attempt to understand what these family members face, usually daily, is to hear their stories……to listen to their voices.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

The Corpus Christi Police spent ample time and manpower investigating the scene of Stephanie and Gary Gillette’s murders. The finding of two items in particular was huge. Some details of the crime scene seemed specific and peculiar enough to narrow down theories as to what took place in the early morning hours of Saturday, December 14th, 1985. Investigators tried to connect the dots.Guests on this episode include Doctor Grace Dukes - Forensic Pathologist and Medical Examiner, Darren Dake – Founder of the Death Investigation Training Academy, and Danny Smith – author and Retired-Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office Investigator.

Gary’s children were supposed to arrive at the home of their Father and Step-Mother, Stephanie, the evening before the couple were brutally slain in the early morning hours of Saturday, December 14th, 1985. The three sisters, ages 8, 11, & 14, wouldn’t discover their Dad and Step-Mom’s fate until that Sunday, but they all knew something wasn’t right. The home phone gave nothing but a busy signal and Gary’s answering service hadn’t heard from him; Gary, though, is said to have never gone more than an hour without checking for calls.This is the story of the events that took place that weekend.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

“It was just a convenient place to dump the bodies. There is just a hell of a lot of sin that goes up and down that highway” - Williamson County Sheriff Jim Boutwell, referring to Interstate 35 in 1981.From Oklahoma City to San Marcos, Texas, there is a 400 mile stretch of I-35 where multiple homicides occurred, or bodies were discarded, from the years 1976 to 1981. Twenty-one homicide victims. Few arrests. And several victims remain unidentified to this day. It’s unlikely to law enforcement that all these depraved acts were committed by a single individual, especially considering the distance involved; that makes it likely, then, that there were several individuals taking advantage of opportunity and who left an unbelievable count of slain victims in such a short period.To some law enforcements officials, the route became referred to as “the Bloody Route.”You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastYou can also find us on Facebook and Twitter by using @gonecoldpodcast#I35 #orangesocks #JaneDoe #debrajackson #abilene #1977Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

David Emerson, Jr. was last seen on New Year’s Eve of 2014 but family, as well as police, are no closer to knowing what happened to the then 35-year-old man now than they were then. Sonia Gonzalez, a friend of David’s, has worked tirelessly for answers and has solidified and debunked many preconceived notions about his disappearance. This episode, Sonia provides us with virtually every known detail that can be disclosed about David’s case and seemingly traceless vanishing.

El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Investigators didn’t necessarily uncover any tangible evidence in the 1957 disappearances of Margaret and William Patterson but circumstantial evidence, and scenarios that this evidence allows, seems endless. They found some things about William’s personal life that they couldn’t ignore…things that began painting a different picture of the couple than what associates and employees of the Patterson’s originally let on to. Obviously, though, even after shocking accusations in the 1980s and a witness coming forward even later than that, police couldn’t find the pieces that allow for a clear theory as to what happened to Margaret and William.
