The Trail Went Cold

December 17, 1993. Merced, California. 27-year old Paul Armstrong, a tow truck operator employed by RTS Towing, vanishes without explanation from his home. Later that day, 34-year old Steven Lombard, another tow truck operator from the same company, goes to the towing yard to pick up his paycheque before he also disappears and his abandoned pick-up truck is found in a K-Mart parking lot the following morning. Over 15 years later, the owner of RTS Towing, Randal Wright, becomes a person of interest in the disappearance of his 50-year old estranged wife, Karen Wright, who vanishes from their vacation home in Mexico. While there is suspicion that Randal might have been involved in all of these disappearances, no trace of any of the victims is ever found. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we will be covering a trio of unsolved missing persons cases and explore whether or not they are actually connected to each other. After that… the trail went cold.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Merced County Sheriff’s Office at (209) 385-7445.

March 14, 1998. Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. 39-year old Leonard Dirickson prepares breakfast for his son, Jared, before a man driving a pick-up truck shows up at their ranch. After Leonard goes outside and speaks to the driver, he tells Jared that the man is interested in looking at one of his stud horses and he will accompany him to the locations where they are being kept. After Leonard climbs into the pick-up truck and leaves, he does not return and is eventually reported missing. Even though there are a couple of reported sightings to suggest that Leonard might still be alive, he cannot be found and the driver of the pick-up truck is never identified. Could Leonard Dirickson have staged his own disappearance or did he become the victim of foul play? And if he was murdered, what could the motive have been? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a truly perplexing missing persons case and we’ll also take some time to briefly examine the unsolved disappearance of 56-year old Lee Young, who vanished from Scottsdale, Arizona in May 1990.
If you have any information on the disappearance of Leonard Dirickson, please contact the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-522-8017. If you have any information on the disappearance of Lee Young, please contact the Scottsdale Police Department at (480) 312-5155.

October 25, 1978. Las Vegas, Nevada. Six-year old Cary Sayegh disappears from his schoolyard during lunchtime recess and a student reports seeing Cary being forced into a vehicle by a man. Hours later, the Sayegh family receives a phone call from a kidnapper demanding a sizable ransom for Cary’s safe return, but the caller never makes contact with them again. A man named Jerry Burgess draws suspicion from the authorities when he keeps inserting himself into the investigation and he is eventually charged with Cary’s kidnapping in 1981. However, Burgess winds up being acquitted of the kidnapping charge at his trial and all attempts to find Cary are unsuccessful. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we chronicle the frustrating story of an unsolved ransom kidnapping which would become one of the infamous cold cases in the history of Las Vegas.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at (702) 795-3111.

July 9, 1970. Lansing, Michigan. 16-year old Laurie Murninghan, the daughter of the city’s former mayor, is abducted from her workplace by a black male during a robbery gone wrong. Eleven days later, Laurie’s decomposed body is discovered in a remote swampy pond and her cause of death is determined to be manual strangulation. Since Laurie’s employer witnessed the abduction, she picks out a promising suspect from a photo line-up who has an extensive criminal record. However, the authorities do not believe they have enough evidence to arrest this man, so the murder is never solved. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we cover the unsolved abduction and murder of Laurie Murningham and we will also briefly discuss another cold case involving the murder of 14-year old Karen Oatley, which took place in Lansing nine years later. Special thanks to listener Michelle Beleski for narrating the opening of this episode.
If you have any information about the murders of Laurie Murninghan and Karen Oatley, please contact the Lansing Police Department at (517) 483-4600.

August 12, 1989. Halifax, Nova Scotia. After her shift ends 40 minutes earlier than scheduled, 19-year old Kimberly McAndrew clocks out and leaves her workplace before she vanishes without a trace. Over the years, investigators check out a number of different leads and even consult with a so-called “psychic detective”, but fail to find any conclusive answers about what happened to Kim. Even though a sex offender named Andrew Paul Johnson is looked at as a potential suspect in Kim’s disappearance and a couple of other unsolved murders from the Halifax area, there is no conclusive evidence to implicate him. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we travel back to our podcast’s home country of Canada to explore one of the most prominent unsolved missing persons cases from the province of Nova Scotia.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Halifax Regional Police at (902) 490-5333 or Canadian Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

February 27, 1995. Springfield, Missouri. The bodies of 35-year old Cheryl Feeney and her two children – six-year old Tyler and 19-month old Jennifer – are all discovered inside their separate bedrooms at their residence. Cheryl and Tyler have been bludgeoned to death while Jennifer was strangled and the house is completely ransacked. Even though the family’s 35-year old patriarch, Jon Feeney, was attending a conference at a resort 90 miles away, investigators suspect that he drove back home in the middle of the night to commit the crime before driving back to the resort to fabricate an alibi for himself. One year later, Jon is charged with three counts of murder, but since no conclusive evidence links him to the crime scene, he winds up being acquitted at trial. Did Jon Feeney get away with the murders of his wife and children or was someone else responsible? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the controversial saga of the Feeney family murders.

August 22, 1992. Brandon, Mississippi. While driving his girlfriend home, 18-year old Andre Jones is stopped at a police sobriety checkpoint and is arrested on a number of charges after his pick-up truck is determined to be stolen. Andre is transferred to the Simpson County Jail, but over 19 hours after his arrival, he is found hanging by one of his own shoelaces in a holding cell’s shower stall and the authorities rule his death to be a suicide. However, since Andre’s mother and stepfather were prominent black activists in the community, they believe he was the victim of a racially motivated murder and cover-up. A federal investigation is launched to explore a number of suspicious hanging deaths which took place in various Mississippi jails during this time period, but no conclusive evidence is found to overturn Andre’s suicide ruling. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the tragic and controversial death of Andre Jones.

May 21, 1983. Yukon, Canada. The remains of a male homicide victim are discovered in a shallow grave in a remote area and since he cannot be identified, he becomes known as the “Dawson City John Doe”. Thirty-eight years later, DNA testing identifies the victim as 46-year old Theodore Kampf, who had left his home in New Jersey in 1981 to make a cross-country road trip to Canada before he disappeared. It turns out that an unknown individual cashed Theodore’s traveller’s cheques and stole his pick-up truck before abandoning it in Montana, but the actual circumstances of how Theodore was killed are unclear.
June 23, 1989. Winnipeg, Manitoba. After completing his shift, 20-year old Patrick Rosner vanishes without a trace and his abandoned car is discovered two blocks away from his workplace. One year later, skeletal remains are found in a remote field over 220 kilometres away and the victim is initially believed to be female. However, in 2012, DNA testing shows that the remains actually belong to a male and he is eventually identified as Patrick Rosner, but no one knows how he wound up dead at that location.
On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we cover a pair of Canadian cases involving male victims whose remains were discovered a great distance away from their hometowns, but their deaths remain unsolved. Special thanks to listener Natalie Galloway for narrating the opening of this episode.
If you have any information about the death of Theodore Kampf, please call the Yukon RCMP’s Historic Case tip line at (867) 667-5500. If you have any information about the death of Patrick Rosner, please contact the Manitoba RCMP’s Historical Case Unit at (204) 984-6447 or call Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

April 15, 2005. Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. After taking the day off work and leaving on a road trip, 59-year old Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar fails to return home and is reported missing. The following day, Ray’s abandoned car is discovered 60 miles away in the town of Lewisburg, parked across the street from an antiques mall. Over the course of the next several months, Ray’s county-issued work laptop and its hard drive are discovered in the nearby Susquehanna River, but the hard drive is too damaged to recover any data. A number of different theories are pushed forward, which include Ray disappeared voluntarily, completing suicide by jumping into the river, or becoming the victim of foul play, possibly in connection to the infamous Penn State child sex abuse scandal. However, there is no conclusive evidence pointing to any of these theories and Ray Gricar is never found. After 268 full-length episodes and 32 minisodes, “The Trail Went Cold” has finally reached the milestone of our 300th episode and to commemorate the occasion, we are covering one of our most highly requested cold cases.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (814) 355-7545.

February 1, 1999. DeSoto County, Mississippi. While living in a farmhouse with her two children and her boyfriend, 27-year old Katherine Lowery vanishes without explanation. Months later, Katherine’s boyfriend takes the children and abruptly moves to Wyoming, but he winds up being arrested when Katherine’s daughter accuses him of sexual abuse. It turns out the boyfriend has been living under an alias and his real name is Steven DeLoge. Investigators soon learn that Steven’s 23-year old half-sister, Elizabeth Eisel, also vanished under suspicious circumstances in Bellevue, Washington in September 1985. Even though Steven goes to prison for multiple counts of sexual assault, he fails to provide any answers about what actually happened to Elizabeth and Katherine. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a truly bizarre story involving two women who went missing in different states over 13 years apart.
If you have any information on the disappearance of Elizabeth Eisel, please contact the Bellevue Police Department at (425) 452-6917. If you have any information about the disappearance of Katherine Lowery, please contact the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Department at (662) 469-8500.
