The Disappearance of Kristy Lynn Booth
On February 2nd, 1980, 19-year-old Kristy Lynn Booth and a friend were dropped off at a Midland, Texas nightclub. Kristy took off her coat and shoes and danced all night, the last time with a man no one seems to have known. When a friend who’d borrowed Kristy’s car returned to the club to pick her up, she was nowhere to be found. Five days later, her family reported her missing. It took several more days for Kristy’s name, face, and description to make the newspapers and television news. Police searches, too, didn’t happen for days. What happened to Kristy Booth is more than one of Midland mysteries, it’s also a question that has tormented a family for 44 years.If you have any information about the disappearance of Kristy Lynn Booth, please contact Midland Crime Stoppers at (432)694-8477, where you can remain anonymous and are eligible for a reward, or call the Texas Rangers at (432)498-2120.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Presenting The Trail Went Cold
August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were accidental. However, Don and Kevin’s families push for a new investigation, which uncovers evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks.Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories emerge to suggest the boys were murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking, but no one is ever charged with the crime. “The Trail Went Cold” released a two-part episode about this convoluted story for their five-year anniversary show. This is a preview of The Trail Went Cold’s coverage of the case and you can find the rest of the story by subscribing to The Trail Went Cold wherever you listen to podcasts or by visiting their website at https://www.trailwentcold.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

The Slaying of Teresa Branch Part 2 of 2: Ripple Effects
After the brutal rape and murder of 18-year-old Teresa Branch, her family was left with the fallout – something that became increasingly difficult to live with. Outside the family, too, there were individuals whose life Teresa’s killer affected. It didn’t help that the investigation was at a crawl, with no actual evidence to work with, at least during the pre-DNA era in modern law enforcement investigations. What the police did have was a witness, one who provided vital information. Still, the case went cold. But when DNA testing did enter the investigation, things heated back up.If you have any information about the 1986 murder of Teresa Laune Branch, please contact the Arlington Police homicide unit at 817-459-5772 or if you wish to remain anonymous and possibly receive a reward up to $1,250 please call Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Lou Allen Goettsch Part 2 of 2: Big Country Bones
In late 1993, after Roney Dean Harper’s confession to the murder of Lou Goettsch, discoveries of human bones seemed to be commonplace in the Big County, an area of Texas of which Abilene is the heart. With every set of remains unearthed, detectives with the Abilene Police Department, an agency that had no jurisdiction over any of the discoveries, sat tight and waited for the identification of one of their missing people. At the top of that list was Lou Goettsch, since Harper’s admission had heated the case back up. Neither the Big Country bones nor Roney Dean Harper gave the answers the cops were looking for.If you have any information about the disappearance of Lou Allen Goettsch, please contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at 800-868-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Lou Allen Goettsch Part 1 of 2: The Confession
On March 31st, 1981, twenty-one-year-old Lou Allen Goettsch had it made. A couple days earlier, he received a decent sized settlement check for a work injury he’d sustained earlier in the year, opened up a checking account, and put a deposit and first month’s rent on a new apartment. Then, he vanished into thin air. Since the disappearance wasn’t reported for two months, Abilene, Texas Police had a hard time figuring out where to start searching for the young man. In fact, there were absolutely no clues that cut them a break in that department. That year, two other young adults disappeared from Abilene, further complicating and taking resources away from one another. Twelve years after he disappeared, a man confessed to Lou’s murder.If you have any information about the disappearance of Lou Allen Goettsch, please contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at 800-868-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Bambi Lynn Dick Part 2: Now, Justice
Part 2 of 2. In late September 1983, 17-year-old Bambi Dick and friends attended a heavy metal concert at Davenport, Iowa’s Col Ballroom. Stories about what happened after, perhaps, are conflicting, but whatever the case, Bambi vanished. For more than a quarter century, her family looked for her. At some point, her parents expected her to come waltzing through the front door with a couple kids and a husband. But they also knew she had no reason to run away and had never tried to run away before. Years after the disappearance, Bambi’s brother began looking on the internet and realized he needed to post his sister’s information to missing persons websites. He did just that in 2009, and within days, an internet sleuth made a connection between Bambi’s Iowa disappearance and a Jane Doe in Amarillo, Texas.If you have any information about the murder of Bambi Lynn Dick, please call the Amarillo / Potter / Randall Special Crimes Unit at 806-378-4268.If you’d like more information about Dr. Ralph Erdmann and why some of his determinations in this case should not necessarily be taken as gospel check out our episodes titled: Debra Mackey Part 1: Plainview Jane Doe & Part 2: The Criminal Pathologist from September 2023.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
