About this listen

Cold and Missing focuses exclusively on cold cases and unsolved missing person cases. Every week Ali and Eli - a husband and wife duo- will bring you either a Cold Case or a unresolved missing person. Ethically, we are not interested in talking about solved cases and reliving another families trauma. We are interested in being a small part of the solution and the hope of the podcast is to keep unsolved cases in peoples mind and generate tips. Cold and Missing is for fans of true crime who appreciate deep research into cases.

  • Cold and Missing: Francis ‘Frank’ Cantea
    Oct 2 2025

    On July 3rd, 1975, nineteen-year-old Francis “Frank” Cantea disappeared from Bremerton, Washington. Frank was just getting started in life when he stopped by a friend’s house to return a record, he seemed nervous to his friend. That was the last time anyone saw him. Days later, his mother discovered his car locked outside his apartment and his wallet, keys, and money left behind as if he had only stepped out for a moment. Despite interviews, searches, and countless rumors — from aliens to secret Navy assignments — no trace of Frank has ever been found.

    *** If you know anything about the disappearance of Francis ‘Frank’ Cantea in July of 1975 - or his whereabouts today- please call the Bremerton Police Department at 360-473-5220 ***

    Part 2 of the Burger Chef murders.

    The morning after their disappearance, the bodies of Jayne, Mark, Ruth, and Danny were found in a remote wooded area. Four people were murdered in three different ways, raising more questions than answers. Who would abduct four young people from their workplace and why? In part two of our series on the Burger Chef murders, we trace the discovery of the bodies, the shaken community, the troubled investigation, and the decades of unanswered questions that still haunt Speedway, Indiana.

  • Cold and Missing: The Burger Chef Murders - Part 1
    Sep 11 2025

    Episode One: The Disappearance

    In November 1978, four young employees disappeared while closing up the Burger Chef in Speedway, Indiana. Jayne Friedt, 20, Mark Flemmonds, 16, Ruth Shelton, 17, and Danny Davis, 16, were working the closing shift when they were all abducted. Initially written off as young folks ditching work quickly turns into one of the most horrifying cases in Indiana history. In part one of our two-part series, we walk through the last night they were seen alive and the chilling discovery that something had gone terribly wrong.
