Case Updates, Fall 2022 Part 1

On Tuesday, July 5th, 1966, a young woman and young man checked into the Ropers Motel in Pecos, Texas. Hours later, the guests and staff were startled by the sounds of flailing slashes and screams for help at the motel’s pool. They rushed to the scene, only to find the young woman who’d just checked in submerged in the oasis, lifeless. She was rushed to the hospital and her companion was notified of what happened. He never arrived at the hospital and there were no clues as to the identity of the victim. For over fifty years, investigators in Pecos, and the residents themselves, have been haunted by the question: Who is Pecos Jane Doe?

Tamara Jean Holcknecht was known as “Mousey” by her friends and family, all who adored the funny, sweet, and talented young woman. Mousey went missing in late February of 2007, and though everyone thought she’d simply gone off the radar, which wasn’t uncommon for her, their worst fears would be realized a month later when two boys found her body facedown and partially submerged in a stock pond. Though the medical investigator ruled the death an accident, there is at least one major piece of forensic evidence that something major is wrong…and that evidence is indisputable. It’s not the only red flag, either. The “accidental” case remains open to this day, suggesting they know that there is indeed more to the story.You can join the Facebook group, Justice For Tamara J.

In the Summer of 2002, the national press was ablaze with stories of missing and murdered children; one case in particular held the attention span of the national media machine and many others fell through the cracks, receiving virtually no coverage. The kidnapping and murder of a 4-year-old Orange, Texas girl, Dannarriah Finley, on July 4th was one of those cases. Though police from multiple jurisdictions and the FBI worked the case hard, collecting an impressive amount of evidence, including DNA, Dannarriah’s killer continues to elude justice.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

(SOLVED 5/20) On Wednesday, August 31st, 1983 the nude body of Susan Lee Eads was discovered among the brush in a ditch on an empty lot at NASA Road One and Elam Street in Seabrook. Susan had been raped and strangled. The investigation went cold almost as soon as it began; there was little evidence and a man seen leaving behind Susan from a local bar the last time she was seen alive was a stranger to the establishment’s patrons. Four years later, Seabrook Police got a good lead, but it wasn’t to be. The arrest of a serial killer in 2003, Anthony Allen Shore – The Tourniquet Killer, got the department’s hopes up again but DNA excluded him. In 2018, police released recorded phone calls made to Susan’s mother not long after Susan’s death in hopes to generate new leads. Is it the voice of a killer or a hoax?Special thanks to our pal, Danny Smith, for his insight on Susan’s case.You can purchase his amazing Detective Novels at:https://www.amazon.com/Danny-R-Smith/e/B075BJR42W?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1563159117&sr=8-1You can also find him on Facebook and Twitter at, respectively:https://www.facebook.com/Dickie.Floyd.Novels/https://twitter.com/dickiefloyd187Promo this episode: Murder And Suchhttps://twitter.com/MurderandSuchYou can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter by using @gonecoldpodcast#JusticeForSusanEads #Seabrook #SeabrookTX #Houston #HoustonTX #Texas #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Shelley Sikes was last seen in the late-night hours of Saturday, May 24th as she left work to head home. She never made it and a couple hours later, her boyfriend and his father found her 1983 Ford Pinto on the access road of Interstate 45 northbound. Foul Play was obvious. Though an extensive search was conducted, Galveston Sheriff’s Office Investigators remained stumped for thirteen months when, out of the blue, police all the way in El Paso stumbled upon a huge break in the case. But was the break big enough to land a murder conviction?You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

Don Martinson returned home from jury duty on March 31st, 1980 to find his wife slain on the floor of the couple’s bedroom at their home in North Dallas. Don was devastated by most accounts but insight into the couple’s marriage provided by friends painted their relationship as one that had its problems. When Don refused to speak with investigators, they began wondering what else he was hiding. His alibi, though, was solid. When he decided to talk finally, his attorneys provided police with a dream lead. Since the case remains unresolved – cold – was the Dallas Police’s number one suspect the man who murdered Debbie?You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

On January 8th, 1973, a worried friend of Candy Anne Fletcher-Mora entered her apartment in Harlingen, TX to find her baby daughter sound asleep in her crib but found Candy viciously murdered; she’d been slashed, stabbed, and strangled…her neck broken. Police were tight-lipped, more so than most departments at the time, but a violent rapist who committed a depraved act against another young woman 11 months after Candy’s slaying was surely suspected of her murder. Candy’s case, although reopened more than once, remains unsolved.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

While the 1970s were a time of independence and fulfillment, they were also a time when many, especially women, lived in fear. Dallas, over a short time span from 1970 to 1971, was bombarded with a slew of slayings which the press dubbed the “Bizarre Lust Murders.” On August 8th, 1971, Carolyn Montgomery’s son awoke to find his Mother’s mutilated body under a blanket in their apartment’s living room.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.
