The Disappearance of Jared Chavis Part 1

Othram Incorporated CEO David Mittelman joins us to tell the story of the January 1995 rape and slaying of 31-year-old elementary school teacher Mary Catherine Edwards. The case went unsolved for 26 years, most of which it remained cold but certainly not forgotten. In April of 2021, thanks to a collaborative effort by the Beaumont Police, the Texas Rangers, authorities in Ohio, and Othram Incorporated, Catherine’s killer was identified, arrested, and charged for her murder. Her killer, Clayton Bernard Foreman, had a prior rape on his record that shared similarities. It seems the likelihood is strong that Foreman, a violent and seemingly unapologetic offender, is responsible for more similar crimes.If you have any information about Mary Catherine Edwards’s case or about her killer, Clayton Bernard Foreman please call the Beaumont Police at 409-832-1234.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database, dnasolves.com.

Gang violence has been a problem in Fort Worth for decades. On May 17th, 2019 gunfire erupted in the parking lot of the Autumn Chase Apartments in Southeast Fort Worth. The drive-by shooting is thought to be gang related and a retaliatory act concerning an almost decade old feud. Two innocent individuals were struck by bullets that day as men fired into the complex – 19-year-old Briuna Harps and her friend. While her friend sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Briuna died at John Peter Smith Hospital about 30 minutes later. Whoever fire the shot that killed Briuna evades justice to this day.If you have any information about the death of Briuna Lafey Harps, please call Trace Investigations at 817-200-4236.The Briuna Lafey Harps Foundation can be found at: https://briunalafeyharpsfoundation.comThe Build a Better Hood Foundation is at: https://www.buildabetterhood.com Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database, dnasolves.com.

29-year-old Janine Johnson and 39-year-old Stephen Taylor had a good thing going. Their romance had blossomed into a full-blown commitment and Stephen had developed an extremely close friendship and bond with Janine’s 11-year-old son. They lived a quiet and relatively unassuming life in the city of Ferris, Texas – a place that was also quiet, unassuming, and safe. But in March of 2009, Stephen and Janine were slain in one of the most brutal and methodical crimes Ferris had ever seen. The murder scene, in fact, suggested that whoever killed the couple had done it before. The police were stumped and left to wonder if Janine and Stephen were murdered as the result of a case of mistaken identity.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database, dnasolves.com.

On the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished without a trace. Though a special prosecutor who came to Gilmer with a gleam of glory in his eye tried to tie several individuals to Kelly’s abduction, imprisonment, rape, and slaying – including the man who’d been working nonstop to find answers, Gilmer Police Sergeant James York Brown – his attempts at creating a Satanic scandal ultimately failed. But Lyford’s witch hunt did succeed at one thing: hindering the real investigation into what happened to Kelly. There were three decent suspects who, had it not been for Satanic Panic, each might have proven to be responsible for at least had knowledge.

Few leads came investigators’ way after 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished on the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas. But Sergeant James York Brown was making progress. Unfortunately, that progress was thwarted when a man named Scott Lyford came to town and cooked up a Satanic Cult scandal, one that eventually ruined the lives of several individuals and damaged the Kelly Wilson case so badly that Texas Attorney General Chief Special prosecutor said it would likely never be solved.

On the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished without a trace. With virtually no clues and fewer leads the investigation moved slow, but it certainly wasn’t for the lack of effort on the part of Kelly’s family, a diligent Gilmer Police Sergeant named James York Brown, and Upshur County Sheriff Buck Cross. One of the first leads came when 20-year-old Angela Hammond disappeared 500 miles north of Gilmer in Clinton, Missouri, but it fizzled out fast. After that, the investigation into the disappearance of Kelly Dae Wilson took a series of turns for the worse, including red herrings and a bad case of Satanic Panic.

The small town of Cleveland, Texas averages only one murder per year. 2005, however, was no ordinary year. In April, while still grieving the loss of a close loved one who was brutally slain just months before, Luz & Antonio Rodriguez’s lives, too, were taken in a senseless and savage act. Both 80-year-old Antonio and 77-year-old Luz were well loved in Cleveland, where they’d lived for decades. With absolutely no clear motive, Cleveland Police Detectives struggled to find answers.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database, dnasolves.com.

When John Godfrey’s body was found down a rural road just outside the Victoria city limits on Tuesday, December 7th, 1976 it changed the town for many. Not only was John’s the third unsolved murder that year but his slaying was also especially brutal, the work of a depraved and heartless killer. The Victoria County Sheriff’s Department, who had jurisdiction for the murder, said they were conducting a comprehensive investigation. That investigation, however, went nowhere. When a recently released convict was arrested and charged for an attempted murder that happened a couple months before John Godfrey was killed, he became, according to some, the cops’ suspect number one. But is the guy called Sugar Bear really responsible? Part 2 of 2.Submit your DNA data from a consumer testing company to Othram’s database, dnasolves.com.
