The Alleged Murder of Noel Angel Alvarez
In March of 2023, an investigation into the whereabouts of 6-year-old Noel Alvarez began. He’d already been missing for months. Noel had several siblings, but unlike them, he had special needs to attend to. His mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, told the Everman Police that Noel had gone to live with his father in Mexico. But when investigators with Child Protective Services checked that out, his father, who had been deported before Noel was even born, had never met the boy. Cindy told her family a conflicting story – that she’d sold Noel to a woman in a grocery store parking lot. Neither, it appears, is even close to the truth and Noel’s mother is alleged to have murdered him. She fled to India with her husband and other children to avoid prosecution.If you have information about the whereabouts of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, please call the FBI Dallas Field Office at 972-559-5000. Tips outside of the US should be reported to a country’s US Embassy. If you have any information that might assist in the investigation of Noel’s case, please call the Everman Police Department at 817-293-2923.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

The Abduction & Murder of Patricia Kaye Humphreys
In Houston, Texas, the 1970s was a decade marred by violent crime. From high-risk adults to completely innocent children, the era saw little mercy. When 15-year-old Patricia “Pat” Humphreys, her sister Deb, and friends went to the Thunderbird Twin Drive Inn, it was supposed to be a carefree night. It was the first night, in fact, that Pat and Deb were given the responsibility of taking the family car out. But during intermission, Pat parted ways from the group, and she was never seen alive again.If you have any information about the murder of Patricia Kaye Humphreys, please contact the Homicide Unit at the Houston Police Department at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-8477.

The Murder of Lauren Whitener Part 2: Room 113
Part 2 of 2. Two years after the murder of 32-year-old Lauren Whitener, a potential suspect emerged when the dismembered bodies of three people were found burning in a Fort Worth dumpster. The person who murdered them, Jason Alan Thornburg, was apprehended relatively quickly and readily confessed to two other murders as well. A few years before Thornburg’s conviction for the three murders, the prime suspect in Lauren’s murder, Rodney Aric Maxwell, was released on bond after sitting in a Wise County jail for almost 6 months. Not long after that, the charges against him were dismissed. Although Sheriff Lane Akin insists Maxwell is their guy, none of the evidence they originally used against him linked him to Lauren’s murder at all.If you have any information about the murder of Lauren Anee Whitener, please contact the Wise County Sheriff’s Office at 940-627-5971 or Texas Crime Stoppers at 940-627-8477You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

The Murder of Lauren Whitener Part 1: A Single Blade of Grass
On July 5th, 2019, a Lake Bridgeport, Texas couple awoke to the smell of smoke. After determining there was a fire in the duplex unit attached to theirs, they called 911. When firefighters extinguished the blaze, they found the body of one of the home’s occupants – 32-year-old Lauren Anne Whitener. It was later determined that the fire wasn’t what killed the woman; instead, it was multiple stab wounds to her back and neck. After an investigation by the Wise County Sheriff’s Office, an arrest was made. But when a defense attorney was appointed to represent the suspect, doubts about his guilt arose. The case, it seemed, hinged on a single blade of grass.If you have any information about the murder of Lauren Anee Whitener, please contact the Wise County Sheriff’s Office at 940-627-5971 or Texas Crime Stoppers at 940-627-8477You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.Search @gonecoldpodcast at all or just click linknbio.com/gonecoldpodcastSources: The Wise County Messenger, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News, NBCdfw.com, Fox4news.com, CBSnews.com, WFAA.com, and Court Documents #JusticeForLaurenWhitener #WiseCounty #WiseCountyTX #TX #Texas #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #ColdCase #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #Unsolved #Murder #UnsolvedMurder #UnsolvedMysteries #Homicide #CrimeStories #PodcastRecommendations #CrimeJunkie #MysteryPodcast #TrueCrimeObsessed #CrimeDocs #InvestigationDiscovery #PodcastAddict #TrueCrimeFan #CriminalJustice #ForensicFilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Shaunte Coleman, Terri Reyes, and the Bad Cop
Between May and July of 2006, two women went missing from Jacksonville, Texas: Shaunte Coleman and Terri Reyes. According to an area newspaper, the women knew each other, but that wasn’t the connection that made foul play seem incredibly likely. It was their connection to a disgraced policeman – one accused of rape and assault many times over – that garnered the most suspicion. That suspicion, however, was felt far more by the public than the police, since both Terri and Shaunte roamed some and had known drug issues. Because of that, police seemed reluctant to investigate the disappearances properly. When their remains were found, the investigation shifted to another police agency entirely.If you have any information about the deaths of Shaunte Mone Coleman or Terri Renee Reyes, please call the Nacogdoches county sheriff's office at 936-560-7794 or Texas Crime Stoppers at 800-252-8477.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Felicia Johnson and the Fugitive Sought for Her Murder
In April of 2022, Felicia Johnson flew to Houston, Texas from San Diego, California to celebrate her 24th birthday and look for work in the area. Upon booking a client late one night, Felicia disappeared. Law enforcement, volunteers, and Texas Equusearch performed searches around the areas she was thought to possibly be, but the efforts were fruitless. Though the public strongly believed Felicia was the victim of sex trafficking, Houston Police Detectives were following leads of a different kind – leads that would uncover an aspiring serial killer was responsible for her disappearance. Eventually, Felicia’s remains were recovered, but the man who allegedly murdered her remains a fugitive from justice.If you have any information about the murder of Felicia Johnson or the whereabouts of Chukwuebuka Chibundo Nwobodo, please contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division at (713) 308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Taken for Ransom: The Kidnapping of Kim Leggett
On October 9th, 1984, a mystery began in Mercedes, Texas, adding to the many others in the Rio Grande Valley. Twenty-one-year-old Kim Sue Leggett was kidnapped from her place of employment, Ross Cotton Gin. A phone call that took place literally minutes after she was taken and a ransom letter sent to Kim’s parents a few days later were virtually the only clues Mercedes Police, Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office investigators, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI had to work with. Kim was never seen alive again; her remains never found. Her kidnapping was cold from the beginning and remains so today.If you have any information about the disappearance of Kim Sue Leggett, please contact the Mercedes Police Department at 956-565-3102 or Texas Crime stoppers at 800-252-8477.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
