  • Justice for Charlene 'Chay' Holmes

    Justice for Charlene 'Chay' Holmes
    Nov 5 2025
    2012 - Cambridge, Massachusetts. On a June evening in 2012, 16-year-old Charlene Holmes, who went by Chay, was exactly where she was supposed to be—walking home with friends in her own neighborhood in Cambridge—when a car crept down Willow Street. Moments later, shots rang out. She wasn’t the intended target. She was a bright, hopeful teenager caught in someone else’s crossfire. More than a decade later, police and Chay’s family still search for answers — and for the mysterious dark car seen circling the block that night. If you have any information on the murder of Charlene Holmes, please contact the Massachusetts State Police at (781) 897-6600, or Cambridge Police Investigations Section at (617) 349-3370.

    The Disappearance and Murder of Kitty Wardwell
    Oct 21 2025
    Holden, Maine - 1983 In the summer of 1983, Kitty Collins Wardwell vanished after a fight with her much older boyfriend and business partner, Francis ‘Frank’ Julian. Kitty was only weeks away from turning 30—ambitious, full of plans, and then, without warning... she disappeared. For years, her family searched and speculated. Rumors spread, and the truth seemed to slip further away with every passing year. What began as a missing person’s case soon unraveled into something darker. But time has a way of surfacing what’s been hidden—even when someone goes to great lengths to keep it buried.

    Major Updates in the Murder of Henry Bedard Jr.
    Oct 14 2025
    1974 - Swampscott, Massachusetts. In the shadows of the early-December afternoon, somebody with a baseball bat beat the life out of 15-year-old Henry Bedard Jr. He had been on his way home to wrap a Christmas gift, and was found the following day in a well-travelled patch of woods that was popular amongst the town’s youth. Henry was a good kid from a good family, who, to this day, still can’t understand why somebody would have done this. But police are still hopeful the right person will recognize the markings on the bat and come forward with the tip they need to crack this case, no matter how much time has passed. UPDATE: In October 2025, there was a major update to this case. This episode includes the updates as well as the original episode that was published on August 13, 2024. If you have any information on the murder of Henry Bedard Jr., please contact the Swampscott Police at (781) 595-1111.

    The Strange Disappearance of Michael Madore
    Sep 23 2025
    1996 - Milo, Maine. On a cool April day in 1996, 32-year-old Michael Madore disappeared without a trace. He left behind everything—his possessions, his beloved dogs, and a letter claiming he was bound for Alaska to live out a childhood dream of becoming a “mountain man” like Grizzly Adams. But that dream was only ever a fantasy. The circumstances Mike left behind painted a confusing picture, and the details didn’t seem to line up. Nearly 30 years have passed, and Mike has never been heard from again. For his family and friends, the silence has only deepened the mystery—and they are left with a single haunting wish: to finally bring him home.

  • The Disappearance of Doreen Marfeo Revisited

    The Disappearance of Doreen Marfeo Revisited
    Sep 9 2025
    1990 - Johnston, Rhode Island. In July of 1999, 50-year-old Stephen Marfeo took action on a violent plan: he shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Laura Vincent, and attempted to kill her boyfriend, Sal Puleo, before ultimately taking his own life. For police, this was an open and shut case fulled by jealousy and domestic violence. However, they held out hope that this tragedy would help them unravel the mystery of what happened to Stephen’s wife, 34-year-old Doreen Ann Marfeo, who vanished without a trace from their Johnston, RI home in March of 1990. Stephen told police that Doreen’s behavior in the months leading up to her disappearance had taken a bizarre uncharacteristic turn. She abruptly quit her job, and was having late night panic attacks over something she couldn’t bring herself to tell her husband. Several months later, police began receiving anonymous letters in the mail... letters that claimed to have intimate knowledge about Doreen, and detailed what allegedly happened to her the day she disappeared… This episode was originally published in September 2023.

    How Madison McGhee Is Solving Her Dad’s Ice Cold Case
    Sep 2 2025
    2002 - Bridgeport, Ohio In July 2002, 45-year-old John Cornelius “JC” McGhee was gunned down in the doorway of his home in Bridgeport, Ohio, just across the river from West Virginia.

Through her investigative podcast, Ice Cold Case, she’s shining a spotlight on her father’s unsolved murder, exposing the skeletons in her own family’s closet, and challenging a community that may hold long-buried secrets—and the name of a killer—to finally come forward. If you have any information on the murder of JC MCGhee, please contact the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office at (740) 695-5124.
