Presenting The Trail Went Cold
August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were accidental. However, Don and Kevin’s families push for a new investigation, which uncovers evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks.Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories emerge to suggest the boys were murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking, but no one is ever charged with the crime. “The Trail Went Cold” released a two-part episode about this convoluted story for their five-year anniversary show. This is a preview of The Trail Went Cold’s coverage of the case and you can find the rest of the story by subscribing to The Trail Went Cold wherever you listen to podcasts or by visiting their website at https://www.trailwentcold.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

The Slaying of Teresa Branch Part 2 of 2: Ripple Effects
After the brutal rape and murder of 18-year-old Teresa Branch, her family was left with the fallout – something that became increasingly difficult to live with. Outside the family, too, there were individuals whose life Teresa’s killer affected. It didn’t help that the investigation was at a crawl, with no actual evidence to work with, at least during the pre-DNA era in modern law enforcement investigations. What the police did have was a witness, one who provided vital information. Still, the case went cold. But when DNA testing did enter the investigation, things heated back up.If you have any information about the 1986 murder of Teresa Laune Branch, please contact the Arlington Police homicide unit at 817-459-5772 or if you wish to remain anonymous and possibly receive a reward up to $1,250 please call Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Lou Allen Goettsch Part 2 of 2: Big Country Bones
In late 1993, after Roney Dean Harper’s confession to the murder of Lou Goettsch, discoveries of human bones seemed to be commonplace in the Big County, an area of Texas of which Abilene is the heart. With every set of remains unearthed, detectives with the Abilene Police Department, an agency that had no jurisdiction over any of the discoveries, sat tight and waited for the identification of one of their missing people. At the top of that list was Lou Goettsch, since Harper’s admission had heated the case back up. Neither the Big Country bones nor Roney Dean Harper gave the answers the cops were looking for.If you have any information about the disappearance of Lou Allen Goettsch, please contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at 800-868-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Lou Allen Goettsch Part 1 of 2: The Confession
On March 31st, 1981, twenty-one-year-old Lou Allen Goettsch had it made. A couple days earlier, he received a decent sized settlement check for a work injury he’d sustained earlier in the year, opened up a checking account, and put a deposit and first month’s rent on a new apartment. Then, he vanished into thin air. Since the disappearance wasn’t reported for two months, Abilene, Texas Police had a hard time figuring out where to start searching for the young man. In fact, there were absolutely no clues that cut them a break in that department. That year, two other young adults disappeared from Abilene, further complicating and taking resources away from one another. Twelve years after he disappeared, a man confessed to Lou’s murder.If you have any information about the disappearance of Lou Allen Goettsch, please contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at 800-868-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
