The Mysterious & Forgotten Disappearance of Kathy Goad

West Texas in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s was seeing more violent crime than ever; the ultimate violence, murder, was certainly no exception. Many cases were solved throughout the region, cases that seemed to have the full attention of the press and of county and city law enforcement agencies...but what about the crimes that were never solved...and that saw little to no media coverage at all? Were the murders of Anna Smith, Iris Neal, and Dorothy Garlington somehow deemed less important than many others?You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

From October 1968 to June 1971, five murders shook the residents of Odessa, Texas. Linda Cougot, Eula Miller, Ruth Maynard and Gloria Sue Greene in Odessa, and Nancy Mitchell in nearby Kermit. The deaths had the Odessa Police baffled. A writer for the Odessa American theorized that there was a madman on the loose who chose to perpetrate the slayings in close proximity to full moons. The police, however, likely didn’t buy that, but they did theorize that the murders were connected. After two separate men confessed and were convicted of two of the murders the uncertainty of who really killed the other three women remained...and still does to this day.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

The first half of 1979 kept Houston Police’s homicide department busier than they’d ever been; the year had already broken records for the most violent crimes and murders the city had ever seen. The second half was no different with a series of murders taking place between the end of July and the first several days of October that were so gruesome, so violent in nature – two beheadings and two victims who were almost decapitated – that Houstonians were in fear and the police were scrambling to protect their citizens. No one was ever brought to justice for the murders of five individuals who would become synonymous with the name “The Orchard Apartment murders.” Were they connected?

When Kathy Page’s father erected three signs along Interstate 10 implicating his daughter’s husband in her 1991 killing, it was out of frustration resulting both from the Vidor Police’s failure to put together a case against their number one suspect and the suspect’s blatant falsehoods and odd behavior. Eventually, years after Kathy’s murder, her parents took Steve Page to civil court alleging that he was responsible. On their third attempt at holding him accountable the only way they could, a jury found Steve Page to be responsible for the murder, but Vidor Police were never able to get a grand jury to indict him on criminal charges.#JusticeForKathyPage #ThreeBillboards #Vidor #VidorTX #Beaumont #BeaumontTX #Texas #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #Unsolved #ColdCase #UnsolvedMurder #StagedSpecial thanks to our good pal Erica at Southern Fried True Crime for her help with research and information.

In the early morning of May 14th, 1991 off the Interstate 10 access road in Vidor, Texas, a newspaper carrier discovered what appeared to be the scene of a tragic accident. When police arrived on the scene, however, everything was not what it looked like upon a first glimpse. It was too clean for an auto accident; something wasn’t right...and everything began pointing to the deceased woman’s husband, including his own actions and words. Kathy Page’s murder, though, remains unsolved to this day.Special thanks to our good pal Erica at Southern Fried True Crime for her help with research and information.

After Kristen Charbonneau disappeared on Thursday, August 11th, 2005, a person of interest quickly emerged – a good one – but Euless Police were unable to make an arrest. Kristen’s parents, out of frustration, took matters into their own hands and began a campaign to drive the suspect out of his silence. They either wanted him to break under pressure or provide police answers to the many questions they had. Frustrated, still, as the man refused to respond to them, the Charbonneau’s continued their quest and eventually, someone came forward with information.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.

On Thursday, August 11th, 2005, Kristen Charbonneau was asked to go home early from the club she danced for in far east Fort Worth. Her employer called a cab but when the driver arrived, Kristen wasn’t there…and she hasn’t been seen since. A person of interest emerged early in the investigation, however, detectives were having trouble obtaining evidence to use against him, save several eye witnesses who identified him as the last person to be seen with the young woman.

The carefree Summer of 1990 in San Antonio, Texas ended in unimaginable tragedy for two families, the entire city, and, most of all, two innocent children. In the month of August, only 19 days apart, Heidi Seeman and Erica Botello disappeared. Heidi’s disappearance resulted in one of the biggest search efforts the State of Texas, if not the entire US, had ever seen. Not long after Erica Botello vanished, which can easily be viewed as being portrayed in the press as a side note to Heidi’s disappearance, both girls’ bodies were found, shattering the hope that they would be brought home safe and sound. Though charges were filed against three individuals in Erica’s murder and another individual was taken into custody pending charges in Heidi’s slaying, the perpetrators of these two senseless and depraved acts remains elusive to justice.
