Cheryl Henry & Andy Atkinson: The Houston Lover’s Lane Murders Part 1

In May of 2004 12-year-old Rosa Sandoval missed the last day of elementary school and the class party that was to take place and was never seen again. San Antonio Police sprung to action fast, but by the time Rosa was found to be missing, at least 14 hours had passed. Or so everyone originally thought. The cops later found out that perhaps almost 24 hours had passed since Rosa Sandoval was last seen. Either way, not a trace of the missing girl could be found, and police activity reported in a careless way by local media led to baseless speculation against family. To this day, although one clue was eventually publicly released, police seem to be no closer to finding out what happened to Rosa.If you have any information about the murder of Rosa Sandoval, please contact Bexar County Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP, or 210-224-7868.You can help get #JusticeForBrittanyMcGlone by contributing to the reward fund by calling the Wood County Crime Stoppers at (903) 850-9060.Please donate to help get #JusticeForLeonLaureles at gofundme.com/f/leon-laureles-private-detective-and-memorialYou can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastThe Website of the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, The San Antonio Express-News, FoxSanAntonio.com, KSAT.com, Court TV, Kens5.com, and WOAI.com were used as sources for this episode.#JusticeForRosaSandoval #SanAntonio #SanAntonioTX #BexarCountyTX #Texas #TX #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #Missing #MurderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Part 5 of 5. Convicted a year and a half later of a crime that could easily be considered similar to the prevailing theory in Rachel Cooke’s disappearance, an Austin area man was no stranger to violent crime. On the day Rachel went missing, and for some time before, this individual had been working as a foreman for a crew doing work in the area of the North Lake subdivision and is known to have seen, and cat-called at, Rachel as she ran her routine route on her morning workouts. As if Rachel’s case wasn’t convoluted enough, controversies within the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office only further confused it and undoubtedly hindered progress. If you have any information about the disappearance of Rachel Louise Cooke, please contact the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office at (512) 948-2911 or their cold case tip line at (512) 943-5204.You can help get #JusticeForBrittanyMcGlone by contributing to the reward fund by calling the Wood County Crime Stoppers at (903) 850-9060.Please donate to help get #JusticeForLeonLaureles at gofundme.com/f/leon-laureles-private-detective-and-memorialYou can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcast#WhereIsRachelCooke #JusticeForRachelCooke #Georgetown #GeorgetownTX #WilliamsonCountyTX #Texas #TX #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #MissingPerson #Missing #Vanished #DisappearedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Part 4 of 5. In 1998, policeman Jimmy Fennell, Jr quit his job in Giddings, Texas after getting new work in Georgetown. Tragically, Fennell’s fiance, Stacey Stites, had been killed in 1996 and, perhaps, many thought the man was coming to a new city as final step in moving forward with his life. Fennell certainly did move forward behaving as he had at his old department. Though far from the only allegations of misconduct against him, Fennell came under fire in 2007 for kidnapping and raping an incredibly vulnerable young woman. Though the charges were about as watered-down as they could be, the policeman went to prison for 10 years. But in 2002, when Rachel Cooke disappeared, Jimmy Fennel was an active patrolman in Georgetown, Texas. Considering his past, and the possibility that he is actually responsible for his fiancé’s murder in 1996, is it possible he could be responsible for Rachel’s disappearance?

Part 3 of 5. Rachel Cooke’s parents believed their daughter was no longer alive, but still held out a sliver of hope that she was. In 2006, four years after her January 2002 disappearance, those hopes were completely dashed when a convicted killer confessed to bludgeoning, raping, and killing Rachel. Among this convicted killer’s many disdainful qualities, however, was a predilection to lying simply to cause confusion or emotional pain. Did Michael Keith Moore really kill Rachel Cooke or was his admission just a ick and psychopathic game?If you have any information about the disappearance of Rachel Louise Cooke, please contact the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office at (512) 948-2911 or their cold case tip line at (512) 943-5204.If you are able, please donate to help our friend Arlene hire a private investigator to find the killer of her uncle and best friend, Leon Laureles, at gofundme.com/f/leon-laureles-private-detective-and-memorialPlease consider donating to the Fort Worth Cold Case Support Group at fwpdcoldcasesupport.orgYou can donate to law enforcement investigations that need funding or upload your DNA into a database used only for law enforcement investigations at DNAsolves.comIf you don’t have DNA data from a consumer testing site, you can get a kit at connect.DNAsolves.comYou can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcast#WhereIsRachelCooke #JusticeForRachelCooke #Georgetown #GeorgetownTX #WilliamsonCountyTX #Texas #TX #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #MissingPerson #Missing #Vanished #DisappearedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

Part 2 of 5. 19-year-old Rachel Cooke’s disappearance consumed her father, Robert Cooke. While the month following saw incredible activity in the form of searches from incredibly valuable Texas-based organizations and The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, that activity dwindled as the year went on. New composite sketches and heightened media presence due to the Cooke family’s persistence seemed like promising prospects. But even after what might be the largest search and recovery operation the county had ever seen, the efforts fell short and there still wasn’t a trace of Rachel Cooke to be found.

On January 10th, 2002, back home in Williamson County on winter break from college in San Diego, 19-year-old Rachel Cooke slept in a little. When she woke up, her parents and sister had all gone about their day. Rachel spoke with her boyfriend back in California for a few minutes, put on her workout clothes, and went for her usual 4 to 6 mile run. Then, as Rachel walked toward the Cooke home, her cooling off period after the run, she seemingly vanished into thin air. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office told Robert and Janet Cooke that they were overreacting – that Rachel just ran off to party and would be back in no time. When it was finally clear to them that was not the case, plenty of time had already been lost, and there wasn’t a trace of Rachel Cooke to be found.

When 7-year-old Danydia Betty-Jacqueline Thompson didn’t show up after school to meet her brother and sister for the walk home, both of them knew something was terribly wrong. After telling relatives, the campus of Marlboro Elementary was poured through again in an attempt to find the missing first-grader, but attempts were fruitless. For 8 days, family, neighbors, professionals, law enforcement, Fort Hood soldiers, and countless Killeen residents searched for Danydia. On that 8th day, two military volunteers searching overgrown roadsides miles south of town found the body of Danydia Thompson. Her murder remains unsolved to this day.If you have any information about the abduction and murder of DaNydia Betty-Jacqueline Thompson, please contact Bell County Crime Stoppers at 254-526-8477.Check out The True Crime Files podcast wherever you listen and read the blog at thetruecrimefiles.comYou can donate to law enforcement investigations that need funding or upload your DNA into a database used only for law enforcement investigations at DNAsolves.com.

On this episode of gone cold, we cover two unrelated stories from the city of El Paso; both likely impacted, or were impacted by, the 1987 desert killings thought by law enforcement to be perpetrated solely by David Leonard Wood. Before listening, we highly suggest you check out our episodes “Lost in the Desert” Parts 1 & 2.First, the disappearance and murder of 16-year-old Angie Irsay in 1988, followed by the murder of Jacqueline Romero in 1986. Jacqueline’s murder was, perhaps, solved. A jury, however, disagreed, leaving her probable murderer free from accountability. Angie Irsay’s case in contrast, never came close to resolution. Cover photo is Angie Irsay. We could not find a photo of Jacqueline Romero.If you have any information about the murder of Angela Margarite Irsay or Jaqueline Belinda Romero, please call Crime stoppers of El Paso at (915) 566 – 8477.You can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast......and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcastThe El Paso Times, The Tyler Morning Telegraph, and the article Memories of Angie on New Mexico State University’s website were used as sources for these stories.#JusticeForAngieIrsay #JusticeForJacquelineRomero #ElPaso #ElPasoTX #Texas #TX #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #Missing #MissingPersons #TheDesertKillerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.
