Just discovered the fact that a Canadian tv series Cold Squad, predating Cold Case, is the original version. I believe it’s still in the courts. Started watching Cold Squad a few days ago. I do like Cold Case, but I find the original more lifelike. Less animated. I highly recommend it for anyone, who likes the Cold Case series.

So, do we know why DG narrated 60% of season 6 and then BK returns? Also, anyone else partial to that season compared the the predecessors and successors? The way they produced every aspect of that season always makes me wish they did more that way 😂😭

The Maura Murray Case Still Haunts Me

Every time I revisit the Maura Murray case, I’m struck by how unsettling it is. In February 2004, Maura, a 21-year-old college student, crashed her car on a rural road in New Hampshire. Witnesses spoke to her briefly, police arrived minutes later—and she was gone. No confirmed sightings since.

What makes this case so frustrating is the mix of ordinary stressors (school trouble, credit card issues, emotional strain) with truly bizarre elements: the sudden trip, the lack of preparation, the dog tracking her scent to the middle of the road, and the total absence of physical evidence after all these years.

Was it a voluntary disappearance, an accident in the woods, or something more sinister? Each theory has holes, and none fully explain how someone can vanish so completely.

Over 20 years later, the silence is the loudest part. This case is a reminder of how fragile certainty can be—and how some questions may never have answers.

I research a lot of cases like this and genuinely enjoy what I do so ive included a link to the video i did on it. There's is absolutely no obligation to click the link as I know its not for everyone and I am happy to just discuss it here.

Would love to hear what other people think?

Bought at Target! Was super fun! Wondering if anyone would be interested in trading games?

Has anyone noticed that the name Todd Smith has been used in multiple episodes? I thought I was going crazy or something but I went back to some episodes and the name appears.

A Map To Murder. Maury Travis scared the mess out of me when they played the videos of him unaliving women in his basement. Still freaks me out to hear his voice and to see the fear in those women.

Hi everyone! I’m new to this sub. Where can I watch the episodes? Thanks in advance!

Its a truly weird case that is made more unusual by the phone call audio.

On a spring night in 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson vanished after his car got stuck on a rural road in Minnesota. He called his parents for help — but as they tried to find him, Brandon suddenly said, “Oh, s***!” … and the line went dead. He was never seen again.

His family continues the search for him to this day.

There's a lot of theories online from him get lost to abduction. I feel the abduction theory is probably more likely however no one knows for certain.

What's peoples thoughts 🤔

Hi, I just started watching this show on Netflix, after finishing all 9 episodes, all from season 6, I noticed online that season 6 actually had 10 episodes. The episode A Family Secret is not included. It could be a small reason, but does anyone know why? I’m wondering if there was something said in the show that’s been proven wrong, or maybe the killers verdict has been overturned.

I’m just curious, seems odd they would include an entire season minus one episode, there must be a reason.

So I've been binging the show on Netflix and recently the episodes have been making me so angry and disgusted. Like, yeah they always made me a bit sad because a life had been snuffed out but now I'm getting worked up. I don't know what season I'm in but I've recently been hit with the young Mexican-American woman killed by a priest in 1960 that the church covered up, they young black man who had the confederate flag stabbed into his chest and was left to die in a field after being dragged behind a truck- also a case abandoned by authorities! The young mom you was just looking for fun on New Year's killed because she she wouldn't give the guy more sex, the teenager brutally beaten in her grandparents home and the whole town, police included, zeroed in on her 13 year old sister! What the actual fuck is wrong with people and why are people acting like insanity is some modern invention?!

Shawn O'Brien | Family searches for the TRUTH 15 years after mysterious "medical incident"

True Crime Odyssey

Murder She Told, 08/2023: blog and parts 1+2

My dad was found in his basement apartment where he was living in Cranston, Rhode Island. He was 34 years old. Initial reports state 911 was called for a medical call, specifically a report of a male having a seizure. Admittedly, seizures were not uncommon for my father but the scene proved it was more than just that.

Shawn O'Brien worked on Friday, 7/21/06. Around 5:30 pm his girlfriend and their daughter visited the apartment with plans to visit a local festival that night. Plans changed as his daughter had a headache. Shawn told his girlfriend to drop him off at Billy's Frosted Mug, a local bar, because he didn't want to be home that night. Shawn's upstairs neighbor and 'landlord' (the apartment was sublet through him), Armand Rouleau and his girlfriend Lynn Hallal were home. Shawn reported he didn't want to be home with Lynn as she had threatened him previously and tensions were running high. Around 6pm Shawn calls his sister Erin to see if she was around to hang out but with no answer, he was dropped off at Billy's Frosted Mug alone around 6:10 pm.

Shawn was supposed to report to work around 7-8 am the next morning. He never showed. Around 6pm his sister, Karen, went by the apartment. When she arrived Armand allegedly ran outside and yelled "come in quick, Shawn's been in a seizure for over an hour." Karen calls 911 and reports Shawn in a seizure with blood pooling under his head. Shawn was found laying on the floor, on his stomach, with his feet facing the door. A large pool of blood was found under his head coming from a head wound. The mattress was covered with large blood stains. Cranston Police note that the scene is orderly and there are no visible injuries. It is not sealed as a crime scene.

He is brought to RI Hospital where medical treatment begins. Doctors know right away that this is not a seizure but the result of foul play. However, no doctors contact the police department. Shawn's family reach out to police on three separate instances in an effort to seal the apartment for evidence. The apartment is not sealed.

Shawn has brain swelling from blunt force trauma to his head. He has multiple cuts, abrasions, and bruises. He ultimately passes away from the head trauma on Tuesday, 7/25/06.

When his girlfriend and sister go to the apartment to retrieve some of his belongings, they note additional blood stains that have been covered by various objects. They note blood on the floors, walls, doors, dining room chairs, bureaus, pillows, and blankets. Armand is present and reports "no one came in, no one came out". His nephew, John Rouleau, reports "Armand didn't have any problems with Shawn." The police return to the scene and it is sealed on Wednesday, 7/26/06.

When police arrive to seal the scene and begin initial questioning, Armand refuses to talk and requests a lawyer. When questioned about the marks on his face, his girlfriend Lynn admits to getting into an argument and striking him on the previous Friday. She is arrested and charged for this.

Police take extensive amounts of evidence and conduct countless interviews but no progress is made. By their own admission, the police believe Armand and Lynn to be the two prime suspects but without any new evidence or the willingness to cooperate, the case is reaching a dead end.

Diana Ramos grandson opens up disclosing new details including that a blouse instead of sock was stuffed down her throat, that her cellphone was pinged elsewhere in the city, and detectives did not ask her family questions.

I remember it was a young boy (between 9&12) going missing, the mother knew that he'd not Runaway, but guess what? No surprises,. Yep, the Po Po decided he'd runaway& he turns up murdered. I just remember the complete and total police incompetence. It was a total example of a "country" sheriff being just that...he is probably the reason the stereotype kept on going. I want to watch again just to remind myself and share... because it's hard to explain just how piss poor the investigation of the missing boy was.

If anyone remembers, I've tried Google and got nowhere. Thanks!

Jonathan Hoang is an endangered adult with autism currently missing in Arlington, Washington. The sheriff’s office has publicly mishandled the case, and the family needs any help they can get. I'm linking a Reddit post that another community member has shared, but they have a Facebook page going for him as well.

Jonathan has been missing since March 30, when he left his home in the night. He was last seen going to bed. Surveillance footage does not show him walking in the neighborhood, and law enforcement has concluded he is not deceased or alive in the immediate vicinity. They believe he may have been taken or coerced into leaving. Jonathan is verbal and can tell you the names of his family members (his sister, Irene, is spearheading the search for him). The family has hired a private investigator due to the sheriffs office mishandling of the case.

I reacent learned about The I-45 and the Texas killing fields and to me it just seemed like the whole case was badly handled. It seem to take ages before the police Even decided there was something happening.

It seems to me that there was probably a couple of killing in the area at the same time (or at least using the same dump spot.

Ive included a link to a video i did on it but if you dont want to watch that's fine I'm happy to just discuss here.

As I bore most of my friends with this kind of stuff 🙄

Would be great to know what others think?

> FBI: Based on extensive research into intimate partner homicide, profiles of husbands who kill their wives often reveal a history of domestic violence, controlling behavior, and a sense of entitlement.

> In the US, studies show that women face the highest risk of homicide by an intimate partner during or after a divorce or separation. Data shows that between 65% and 80% of female intimate partner homicide victims had a history of being abused by the person who killed them.

> Abusers seek custody: Studies suggest that two-thirds of contested custody cases likely involve domestic violence, and abusive fathers are more than twice as likely as non-abusive fathers to seek sole custody.

> Separation: The period when a partner attempts to leave is often the most dangerous time. The perpetrator may act out of a fear of abandonment or loss of control. Research indicates that many femicides occur within a year of separation.
