Gone Cold - Texas True Crime

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.  If you have any information on the disappearances of Pamela and Michael Mayfield, please contact the Houston Police at (713) 222-3131.   You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us at https://www.gonecold.com For Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.com Follow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

On January 24th, 1969, one of Gregg County, Texas’s most cold-blooded and savage murders occurred: that of 17-year-old Longview High School senior Leslye Dian Koon. The slaying prompted one of the city’s most extensive and intensive investigations in its history. What you might call a taskforce was created that included the Gregg County Sheriff’s Office, the District Attorney’s Office, and Longview Police Detectives, who were on loan out of their jurisdiction. Upon the discovery of a life insurance policy in Leslye’s name, the District Attorney identified three suspects who were charged, indicted, and tried for the murder. But the case remains unsolved to this day – and hasn’t been mentioned since.If you have any information about the 1969 murder of Leslye Dian Koon, please contact Gregg County Crime Stoppers at 903-236-STOP.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

In April 1974, 16-year-old Danita Ann Cash drove to the abandoned Trinity River Bridge, better known in local lore as “Screaming Bridge,” to pick up her brother from target practice. But instead of finding the boys, she encountered a stranger with a shotgun who forced his way into her car. What began as a routine favor turned into a harrowing abduction attempt that Danita survived only through courage, calm decisions, and faith. Her escape would set off a police investigation that quickly zeroed in on a young carpet layer with a dark trail behind him, a man investigators believed might be responsible for other brutal attacks and unsolved murders across Fort Worth, namely the abduction and murder of 17-year-old Carla Walker the previous February.This is the terrifying true story of the day evil stepped out of the woods in broad daylight — and a teenager fought for her life.You can support Of Hell and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast#TexasTrueCrime #FortWorthCrime #UnsolvedTexas #TrueCrimePodcast #OfHellPodcast #SlayerSaint #DanitaCash #CarlaWalkerCase #1970sTrueCrime #TexasHistory #ColdCaseTexas #DFWCrime #KidnappingSurvivor #ScreamingBridge #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimeAddict #TrueCrimeObsessed #TrueCrimeStories #CrimePodcast #PodcastLife #ListenNow #PodcastersOfInstagram #SerialPredator #JusticeForVictims #StayAwareBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gone-cold-texas-true-crime--3203003/support.

On Halloween morning in 1984, a masked gunman lay in wait inside a garage in the tiny Stephens County community of Caddo, Texas. When oilman and civic leader Sammy Martin Rogers went to investigate a report of a prowler, he was confronted at gunpoint and fatally shot in front of his family.Rogers was widely known and deeply respected, a self-made oilman, school board trustee, hospital board member, and lifelong resident of Caddo. His killing stunned a quiet rural community and launched a massive manhunt involving local law enforcement, Texas Rangers, roadblocks, and aerial searches. Despite the scale of the response, the gunman vanished without a trace.In the months and years that followed, investigators chased hundreds of leads, offered substantial rewards, released composite sketches, and examined every possible motive: robbery, personal conflict, business disputes, even a professional hit. None led to an arrest.More than forty years later, the murder of Sammy Rogers remains unsolved. The case left behind a town suspended in unanswered questions, a family who witnessed the violence firsthand, and an investigation that went cold almost as quickly as the killer disappeared.If you have any information about the murder of Sammy Martin Rogers, please call the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office at (254) 559-2481.Sources: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Abilene Reporter-NewsYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
