The Joplin Family Murders in Blue Mound, Texas Part 2: Terry Trice

In the early morning hours of March 26th, 2001, a neighbor of 26-year-old Megan Curl smelled something burning. When they investigated, they discovered a fire coming from Megan’s apartment, smoke billowing from the bedroom window. When firefighters extinguished the blaze, they found Megan Curl’s body badly burned, and deceased, on her bed. The nature of her death was gruesome, and the young woman had been burned after she died, presumably to destroy evidence. Though a suspect emerged fairly quickly, law enforcement was unable to collect evidence against him. The case remains unsolved to this day.You can support gone cold at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast#JusticeForMeganCurl #Lufkin #LufkinTX #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

After leaving her house for a walk in the woods on the afternoon of October 19th, 2001, fifteen-year-old Jessica Sadler vanished. Though police deemed her a runaway, family and volunteers from all around came to Leverett’s Chapel Texas to aid in the search for her. Shortly after the FBI became involved, Jessica’s body was found at an illegal dump site under discarded construction materials. An eighteen-year-old senior at Jessica’s school confessed to having sex with her that day after hours of police interrogations but vehemently denied knowledge of her death. The cold case remains unsolved to this day.You can support gone cold at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.#JusticeForJessicaSadler #RuskCounty #RuskCountyTX #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Far worse can be imagined that the death of an innocent child at the hands of a predator. In 2019, luckily, Salem Sabatka’s fate was not death, thanks to a swift response by both the Fort Worth Police and the public. In the summer of 1998 in the Rosemont suburb of Fort Worth, however, 8-year-old Edna Rodriguez met a terrible fate, after disappearing from her home in the middle of the night. Virtually no clues were left behind that provided a lead to her whereabouts and when her body was later found, the circumstances of the discovery were produced a new mystery. Edna was, by all accounts, an outgoing and playful child from a close family, in a tight-knit neighborhood. How, then, has her killer gone undetected for over twenty years?You can support gone cold at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.#JusticeForEdnaRodriguez #FortWorth #FortWorthTX #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Abduction #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

In April of 1988, the murder of a young, 19-year-old woman left the Harris County Sheriff’s Office horrified. Detectives then and in the years following were haunted by the excessive methods used by Jacqueline Graham’s killer. For some reason, however, the media failed to follow up much beyond the few articles published in the days after. Some investigators zeroed in on a suspect immediately, though other officers weren’t so sure. Did the detectives charged with solving Jacqueline’s murder botch the case with tunnel vision?You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast#JusticeForJacquelineGraham #Houston #HoustonTX #Spring #SpringTX #HarrisCountyTX #Texas #TX #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

In the twilight hours of Saturday, August 23rd, 1983, Officer LC Tribble was gunned down in his patrol vehicle outside his Farmers Branch, Texas apartment after dropping off medicine to his ill two-year-old son. Virtually no evidence of who murdered LC could be found on the scene and eyewitnesses’ descriptions of men fleeing provided little to no help. Though LC’s slaying was reviewed time and time again with fresh eyes, the case remained ice cold for 27 years until, in 2010, came a supposed break. Questions about the validity of the new information and accusations of corruption in the system itself arose, however, and the case again went cold.You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForLCTribble #OfficerDown #FarmersBranch #FarmersBranchTX #Dallas #DallasTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

On November 11th, 1970, Veteran’s Day, the bloody body of Doris Lorene Rivers was found in her El Paso apartment by her sister and 5-year-old son. Though the police were able to identify a suspect early in the initial investigation, the District Attorney refused to indict the men due to lack of evidence. The case was buried in El Paso Police’s cold case files for 43 years until, in 2013, Doris’s granddaughter phoned the department for information on the case. A suspect was again identified...but justice, still, was not served. Because of the nature of this particular failure, it likely never will be.Promo: Murderifichttps://twitter.com/MurderificBPCYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForDorisRivers #ElPaso #ElPasoTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

After Holly Palmer’s brutal beating death on November 27th, 1988, Granbury Police and Hood County Sheriff’s Department Officers began looking anywhere and everywhere for someone who might have wanted to kill the young woman. They felt it was someone who knew Holly well, someone she trusted not to hurt her, but authorities were perplexed. It seemed no one had anything against her. Except, perhaps, one individual whose name kept popping up.Please consider contributing to Holly Palmer’s fund to cover expenses for further testing and investigation that law enforcement can’t, at:https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-holly-palmergranbury?utm_medium=email&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=p_email%2Bhtml_summary_donations&fbclid=IwAR2dLMrrv76q-Tj3_hzV4cx0ZAET7aNKdan4rbl-7p-OceLM-jHMcStiw54Link to our friend and contributor this episode, former LA County Homicide Detective turned crime novelist, Danny Smith’s books:https://www.amazon.com/Danny-R.-Smith/e/B075BJR42W%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForHollyPalmer #WhoKilledHolly #Granbury #GranburyTX #HoodCountyTX #Texas #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Holly Palmer was a well-liked and much-admired resident of Granbury, Texas. At 23 years old, she had her entire life ahead of her and she was well on her way to living it. She was working while also pursuing creative interests that might prove in the future to be lucrative. Holly had a loving family and a lot of support, particularly from her close sisters, mother, and stepfather. Just after Thanksgiving of 1988, on November 27th, her life was taken, ripped away in an act of rage that shook Granbury to its core; Holly was found brutally beaten to death in the Greyhound bus station she managed there.
