Debra Mackey Part 2: The Criminal Pathologist

In May of 2018, after having problems with the caretaker of his Rains County, Texas ranch, 57-year-old George Chronis headed down from his home in suburban Chicago, Illinois to handle the situation. It wasn’t just a business trip though; the overworked doctor with multiple Sclerosis also sought a break from the stress of life as an obstetrician / gynecologist. He hadn’t been at the ranch for three years, so he was shocked to arrive and find that the bunkhouse there had been inhabited by someone unknown. After calling his wife and discussing the situation, the bunkhouse burned to the ground and George was found dead...but not from injuries that resulted from the fire. To this day, more than two years later, what happened to Dr. George Chronis remains a mystery.You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForDoctorGeorgeChronis #RainsCountyTX #AlbaTX #EmoryTX #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.

A suspect finally emerged in the January 1978 slaying of seventeen-year-old Lecia Ann McGee in 2009 – more than 30 years later. DNA linked the man to Lecia’s brutal death, but the Tarrant County District Attorney declined to bring the case before a grand jury, siting insufficient evidence as the reason. Fort Worth Homicide Detectives disagreed. Was the man a suspect in the initial 1978 investigation, when he was just a teenager, or did detectives then make a an unforgivable mistake by disregarding him as such?You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForLeciaMcGee #FortWorth #FortWorthTX #TarrantCountyTX #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.

January 1978 was an unusually cold month in Fort Worth, Texas. Though the city would brag about falling murder rates that year, when it was all said and done, the year was just as deadly as many before it...and even more to come. One of the many homicides the city had seen in 1978 was the unthinkable killing of seventeen-year-old Lecia Ann McGee, a well-liked teenager who didn’t make enemies. Though the brutality of her killing seemed personal, that motive was highly unlikely, and the case was more or less cold from the moment her body was discovered. Decades would pass before a viable suspect emerged but evidence against him, the Tarrant County District Attorney said, was slim to none.

In January of 1996, Camille Norman, daughter of a popular 1960s revival evangelist, was brutally killed at her home in the Dallas suburb of Pleasant Grove. The day before, an elderly woman in the adjoining city of Balch Springs was also slain, a crime that detectives believed to be connected, if only for a short time. The Balch Springs case was cleared quickly by police but Camille’s murder was cold from the get-go...and stayed that way.You can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForCamilleNorman #Dallas #DallasTX #DallasCountyTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #TrueCrimePodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

In January of 1985, siblings Michael and Pamela Mayfield were last seen getting into a vehicle willfully on their way home from school. The six-year-old and five-year-old, respectively, were never seen again. Efforts to locate the two children were relatively extensive. The Missing Children Milk Carton Program was new and gaining momentum fast, and the Mayfield Children were featured there, on nationwide news, and at the end of the third broadcast of the Adam Walsh television movie. No trace, however, of what happened to the two vibrant children was ever found.

Port Lavaca, Texas isn’t on the short list of the most well-known town in the Lone Star State. Many have never even heard of the bay city, in fact, particularly those out of state. Perhaps everyone should have, though. Several mysteries that remain unsolved have taken place there. Unfortunately, crimes such as the multiple slayings at the Crossroads Tavern in 1981 received little press outside Port Lavaca and, frankly, not a whole lot in the town’s press. The disappearances of Wanda Priddy and Kathie Collins received even less attention. One thing is clear: the city’s police, as well as Calhoun County, weren’t experienced enough to handle the crimes.Plus, an update on a story we told Summer 2019 – The Murder of Susan EadsYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #CrossroadsTavernMurders #JusticeForLennieYork #JusticeForLarkSaylor #JusticeForMarjorieMatocha #JusticeForWillardBaugh #WhereIsWandaPriddy #WhereIsKathieCollins #PortLavaca #PortLavacaTX #CalhounCountyTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #Missing #MissingPersonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

After Texas Tech University closed the 2000 school year, most of Stefanie Hill’s friends had gone on vacation or home to spend the summer with family. Stefanie stayed in Lubbock to work, however, and shortly after arriving home in the early morning hours of Monday, May 29th, Memorial Day, she was savagely murdered and set on fire in her own apartment. Because of the fire, there was little evidence left at the crime scene. Stefanie’s lifestyle was as low risk as could be imagined, so Lubbock detectives struggled coming up with anyone who had a motive to kill her. From the outside looking in, it appears that investigators never identified a strong suspect in the case.You can support gone cold at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast#JusticeForStefanieHill #Lubbock #LubbockTX #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.

On October 7th, 1988, when Texas A&M University senior Rene Richerson disappeared from her job as the night clerk at the Casa Del Mar Condo-Hotel Complex, signs of foul play were few and far between. Investigators, however, soon began looking a little closer and the 22-year-old’s disappearance could only be explained as an abduction. For years, tips from anonymous callers continued to point the finger at a handful of individuals but the information they gave never seemed to turn up much at all. Rene, or her remains, have never been found.You can support gone cold at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast#JusticeForReneRicherson #WhereIsReneRicherson #Galveston #GalvestonTX #Texas #TX #TexasKillingFields #KillingFields #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #Disappearance #Missing #MissingPersonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.
