The Trail Went Cold

• The Trail Went Cold - Episode 442 - Diana Shawcroft and Jennifer Lueth, Brandon Rumbaugh and Lisa Gurrieri

  May 24, 1996. Glendale, Arizona. 19-year old Diana Shawcroft and her 19-year old best friend, Jennifer Lueth, leave their apartment to visit a nearby convenience store, but they never return and are last seen climbing into a pick-up truck with an unidentified man. Three months later, Diana and Jennifer’s bodies are discovered 100 miles away in a remote desert area in Yavapai County and it is determined that they were the victims of a homicide. After their families set up a memorial shrine at the crime scene, photos of the victims are stolen from there, but even though the killer is believed to be responsible, they are never identified. October 17, 2003. Scottsdale, Arizona. 20-year old Brandon Rumbaugh and his 19-year old girlfriend, Lisa Gurrieri, leave on an overnight camping trip to Yavapai County, but never return home. Two days later, Brandon and Lisa are found shot to death inside their sleeping bags in the bed of their pick-up truck in a remote area located off Bumble Bee Road. The investigation turns up some intriguing leads, including the discovery of a broken disposable camera containing photos of Brandon and Lisa which were taken shortly before they killed, but the “Bumble Bee Road Murders” remain unsolved. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we travel to Arizona to explore two unsolved double homicides in which a pair of victims were found murdered in remote desert areas of Yavapai County.

• The Trail Went Cold - Episode 441 - The Klein Brothers

  November 10, 1951. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Three brothers from the Klein family – eight-year old Kenneth, six-year old David and four-year old Danny – leave their residence to go play in nearby Farview Park, but they never return home. When a search effort is launched, the brothers’ scents are tracked to a bank of the Mississippi River about a mile away. After two woollen caps are found on a layer of ice, the Minneapolis Police Department concludes that all three boys fell into the water and drowned. However, there are a number of suspicious details to make the boys’ family suspect they were kidnapped and harmed, but even though the case is reinvestigated decades later, no trace of the Kenneth, David or Danny is ever found. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the unsolved disappearance of the Klein brothers, a rare case where three siblings went missing simultaneously. Special thanks to listener to Thomas Crow for narrating the opening of this episode. If you happen to have any information about this case, please contact the Minneapolis Police Department tip line at 612-692-TIPS (8477).

• The Trail Went Cold - Episode 440 - John & Geraldine Magee

  December 14, 2011. Andover, Massachusetts. 69-year old John “Jack” Magee and his 67-year old wife, Geraldine “Jeri” Magee, are found shot to death inside their mansion in what appears to be a professional hit. There are no signs of robbery or forced entry at the scene, though it turns out that the couple’s SUV was stolen and driven 20 miles to the North End of Boston before it was set on fire. Even though the Magees are wealthy and Jack owned a successful construction company, they do not appear to have any known enemies and investigators are unable to find anything in the couple’s backgrounds to shed any light on potential motives for their murders. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a perplexing double homicide from New England which has remained unsolved for nearly 14 years.

• The Trail Went Cold - Episode 439 - Sandy Drummond

  June 24, 1991. Boarhills, Scotland. The body of 33-year old Sandy Drummond is found on a farm track across the road from his cottage and it is determined that he was choked to death with what is described as a “ju-jitsu stranglehold”. In the days prior to his death, Sandy had suddenly quit his job without notice and withdrew nearly all of his money from his accounts, leading to speculation that someone may have been bullying or blackmailing him. Investigators explore a number of different leads, including eyewitness sightings of an orange car parked outside Sandy’s cottage before he was killed, but are unable to determine a clear-cut motive for the crime. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we travel to Scotland to explore one of their most perplexing unsolved murders.

After leaving his condo in Maryville, 51-year old Mike Hearon drives to his rural farm with plans to mow the lawn and some neighbours see him driving away from his residence on his ATV. Mike vanishes without a trace and the abandoned ATV is eventually found on a steep hill located a mile from his property.

Ravalli County, Montana. 55-year old Barbara Bolick goes hiking in the Bitterroot Mountains on the Bear Creek Overlook Trail alongside a friend named Jim Ramaker.

A massive search effort fails to turn up any trace of Barbara and while Jim is not considered to be a suspect in her disappearance, there is no evidence to explain what happened.
