The Abduction of Shelley Sikes
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.

The Dallas Lipstick Murder: The Strangulation of Debbie Martinson
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.

Candy Mora: The Killing That Haunts Harlingen
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.

City of Hate: Carolyn Montgomery…the Wrong One?
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.

City of Hate: The Bizarre Lust Murders
Over a short time span in 1970 and 1971, a slew of murders occurred in Dallas, Texas in which the press dubbed the “Bizarre Lust Murders.” Most of the crimes were considered to be sexually motivated, though sexual assault didn’t necessarily occur, and there were striking similarities shared across many. Even though police were able to solve some, closure for others remained elusive…and it wasn’t because there was a shortage of suspects.

City of Hate: The Brutal Slaying of Beverly Jean Hope
On Wednesday, October 28th, 1970, Beverly Jean Hope, known as Jean to most, was supposed to pick up a friend for a lunch date, but never arrived. Jean’s husband was sent to check on her and upon his arrival at their home, he discovered the body of his wife in a pool of blood; she’d been violently bludgeoned to death. The investigation into Jean’s murder took some twists and turns – Dallas City and Dallas County had seen a slew of particularly gruesome murders before and since - and law enforcement were ultimately unable to tie anyone to her slaying.

The Poisoning of Patsy Wright, Part Two: Up in Flames
Patricia Bolton Wright’s death on October 23nd, 1987, launched an investigation that uncovered a complicated and convoluted list of potential suspects, motives, missing pertinent documents, and even other deaths that had to be checked out for elimination or connections. When it was all said and done, the potential motive for one person of interest was striking and when considering a young man who tried to steal something particularly interesting that belonged to the museum and was later implicated in another crime that was similar to circumstances surrounding Patsy’s death, the case becomes even blurrier.

The Poisoning of Patsy Wright, Part One: Something’s Not Right
Patricia Bolton Wright had everything going for her; the Wax Museum of the Southwest, her business in Grand Prairie, was a tourist draw and a local staple, she’d just purchased a ranch, and she was living her dream as a champion horse-cutting rider. On October 23nd, 1987, the healthy, wealthy, and happy 43-year-old died of mysterious circumstances. The Arlington police knew something wasn’t right, however, and their investigation quickly led to what killed her: strychnine poisoning.You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https//:www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast.
