The last time anyone saw 49-year-old Emily Anderson was December 29, 2005. As husband, Jerry Anderson was naturally the first suspect. But he seemed to be able to account for his time that day and he passed a polygraph. After an anonymous call, Emily’s body was discovered on January 7, 2006. As the investigation ramped up, police found that the Andersons’ marriage was on the rocks and Jerry had recently taken out more life insurance on his wife.

Texas is known for being tough on crime and those who commit it. Or at least the ones who get caught. There are tens of thousands of unsolved homicides in Texas and nearly as many open missing persons cases. Every week, Gone Cold Podcast—Texas true crime—presents in-depth accounts of unsolved murders and missing persons cases throughout the lone star state, concentrating on lesser-known cases that the media has long left behind. Cases like the recently solved 1974 abduction and murder of Fort Worth High School student Carla Walker, the brazen 2019 murder of Liz Barraza, and the mysterious 1989 disappearance of 13-year-old Elisa Roberson, who seemingly vanished into thin air while she was walking a few blocks from home to meet a friend. On Gone Cold, you’ll also occasionally hear high-profile cases, such as an 8-episode series on the 1996 abduction and murder of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, the little girl behind the Amber Alert.This is a preview of Gone Cold’s coverage of the 2007 case of 19-year-old Brittany Danielle McGlone,who was viciously attacked and savagely slain in her boyfriend’s bed while the rest of the home’sinhabitants were away.As you’re listening, join Gone Cold’s mission to bring these forgotten cases back into the public’sawareness by subscribing to Gone Cold Podcast—Texas true crime wherever you listen to podcasts.https://www.GoneCold.com

In the dark morning hours of September 11th 1991, in the small town of Jasper Alabama, a couple named Earl and Carrie Lawson were awoken by a fake emergency phone call that lured them out of the house. A masked man was waiting in their carport. Earl was bound with duct tape and the assailant forced Carrie their SUV and sped off into the darkness. Carrie had been kidnapped for ransom. It seemed like something you only saw in movies. In the last episode, I told you all about the parade of mistakes the FBI made in this case. Now we’re getting into the repercussions of those mistakes, and even more bad decisions…as Carrie Lawson’s life hung in the balance. Hosted and produced by Erica Kelley Researched and written by Erica Kelley & Andrea MarshbankOriginal Graphic Art by Coley Horner Original Music by Rob Harrison of Gamma Radio Edited & Mixed by Brandon Schexnayder & Erica KelleySuggested by: Nocturnal Druid, Reagan Williams and AmandaSources: https://www.southernfriedtruecrime.com/carrie-lawson-2This episode is brought to you by:  Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to honeylove.com/SFTC! #honeylovepodThis episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

In the wee hours of September 11, 1991, Earl and Carrie Lawson were awoken by an urgent phone call from a woman claiming to be a nurse who said Earl’s father was hospitalized and might not make it through the night. The couple threw on clothes and rushed out the door, only to be stopped by a masked man as they were getting in their Ford Explorer. He bound Earl with duct tape, then forced 25 year-old Carrie into the Explorer and raced off into the darkness. Their families were shocked to discover this was a kidnapping for ransom. It seemed like something you only saw in movies…but it was very real and they were terrified for Carrie. **Part 1 of 2. Hosted and produced by Erica Kelley Researched and written by Erica Kelley & Andrea MarshbankOriginal Graphic Art by Coley Horner Original Music by Rob Harrison of Gamma Radio Edited & Mixed by Brandon Schexnayder & Erica KelleySuggested by: Nocturnal Druid, Reagan Williams and AmandaSources: https://www.southernfriedtruecrime.com/carrie-lawsonThis episode is brought to you by:  Visit SimpliSafe.com/southernfried to get 20% off any new system with Fast Protect Monitoring.

For nearly a decade, the Wellnitz family murders haunted the small town of Columbia, Kentucky. The tight knit community had no clue why these good people were mercilessly executed in their own home. They were known for their thriving veterinary clinic and their kind hearts. But someone had been viciously murdered the family and even though investigators were pretty sure they knew who did it, the case went cold. It took ten years and heroic undercover work to get justice for the Wellnitz family. Hosted and produced by Erica Kelley Researched and written by Andrea Marshbank Additional writing by Erica KelleyEdited and Mixed by Brandon Schexnayder & Erica KelleyOriginal Graphic Art by Coley Horner Original Music by Rob Harrison of Gamma Radio Suggested by Dana SchmidtSources: https://www.southernfriedtruecrime.com/wellnitz-familyThis episode is brought to you by:  Visit SimpliSafe.com/southernfried to get 20% off any new system with Fast Protect Monitoring.

Parents have to trust caregivers. It’s just a fact of life. Often we feel more comfortable with a family friend than a daycare. That’s what Tiffany and David Shell did for their daughter Annie.

They had never met Benjamin Brown. But on August 9, 2018, he was left alone with their daughters.

When Officer Keith Turner pulled over a car in Moody, Alabama on June 25, 1998, he thought it was a routine traffic stop. The 29-year-old husband and father had no idea that the men in the car were two escaped convicts, Mario Centobie and Jeremy Granberry. In the span of two days, the armed and dangerous fugitives had already attacked one officer and nearly killed another. As Officer Turner walked toward them, Mario stepped out of the vehicle. He reached through the window as if to retrieve his license, but instead he pulled out a gun and fired three times.

Was referred to this by a leftist lesbian. I see why she likes it. Most hateful anti White spiteful woman I've ever heard. Not much to say that's not all in the reviews. Leftist hateful woman with nothing more to do than run her mouth about everything from men to cops to Native Americans getting shafted. Her poor husband I'm sure hears it constantly while rubbing her bunions and pretending to like her purple hair. This podcast is worse than cancer. It is chemo you can hear.

I initially believed he was guilty the first time I heard this story. I have since heard this story several times. Many items have come out over the years that point to innocence is more likely.

I understand that you are contractually obligated to have ads for your sponsors but 3 ad breaks during a 27 minute episode is a bit much. Personally, I would prefer if all the ads were gotten out of the way at the start, then I could listen to the entire thing uninterrupted. I love your content and have been a loyal listener for over a year but the ads are becoming a hindrance to enjoyment.

wait so the podcast host is gonna harp on about Michael and everything he was "going through" and then make up her own view of how the victim and her sister's relationship was? so it's not okay for people to speculate and talk bad about Michael but it's okay to speculate that the VICTIM and her sister weren't on good terms? sounds like you're making up narratives to fit your theories and what is it with the absolute obsessiveness of Michael being innocent?!?

I highly recommend the Taken At Birth docuseries on Hulu about this case. It is wild how many officials ended up involved in the cover-up of this situation.
