The Trail Went Cold

May 1, 2002. San Francisco, California. After finishing a phone call with one of her sisters, 24-year old Evelyn Hernandez and her five-year old son, Alex Hernandez, vanish without explanation. At the time, Evelyn was only six days away from giving birth to her second child, but when she fails to resurface by her due date, she is officially reported missing. Over three months later, Evelyn’s torso and legs wash up onshore along San Francisco Bay, but neither Alex nor the fetus for Evelyn’s unborn son, Fernando, can be found. It turns out that Fernando’s biological father was a married man whom Evelyn had been having an affair with, but no evidence is found to link him or anyone else to this crime. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we cover a story involving a murdered mother and a missing boy which is often compared to the famous Laci & Scott Peterson case.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the San Francisco Police Department at (413) 553-1071.

October 4, 1978. Lyon County, Iowa. The decomposed body of a murdered young woman is discovered in a ditch next to a rural road, but since she carries no identification, she remains a Jane Doe for the next 27 years. The victim is eventually identified as 23-year old Wilma June Nissen, who originally hailed from California and lived a transient lifestyle prior to her death. Investigators discover that Wilma was involved with an escort service and two women she worked with may have been responsible for her death, but there is not enough evidence to charge anyone with the crime. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, at the personal request of her daughter, we will be exploring the tragic life of Wilma June Nissen and attempting to seek justice for her unsolved murder.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office at (712) 472-8300 or their anonymous tip hotline at (712) 472-8334. The case number is 78-06487.

June 1, 1983. Louisville, Kentucky. 12-year old Ann Gotlib leaves her friend's residence in order to ride her bicycle back to her family's apartment, but she never arrives. When Ann's mother goes searching for her, she discovers Ann's abandoned bicycle outside a department store, but no trace of her can be found. 25 years later, investigators announce that new evidence seems to point towards a convicted sex offender named Gregory Oakley being responsible for Ann's disappearance. However, since Oakley is already deceased by that point, no charges can be filed and Ann's body is never found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore an unsolved abduction from the 1980s which helped play a role in changing how missing children's investigations were performed.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Louisville office of the FBI at (502) 583-3941.

August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were accidental. However, Don and Kevin’s families push for a new investigation, which uncovers evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks. Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories would emerge to suggest the boys were murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking and that members of law enforcement were involved. In Part 1 of our special five-year anniversary episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explored the basic facts of this story. This week, in Part 2, we take a deeper look into the convoluted saga known as the “Boys on the Track” case.

To commemorate “The Trail Went Cold” reaching its five-year anniversary, we are finally covering the case known as the “Boys on the Track”, a story which is so convoluted that it is being released as a two-part episode. This week, Part 1 outlines the basic facts of the case and details how this whole saga gradually turned into a massive rabbit hole. Special thanks to listener Ryan Hanna for narrating the opening of this episode.

July 22, 1983. Redwood City, California. After spending the month travelling through the state, a pair of Swedish nationals - 23-year old Marie Lilienberg and 25-year old Maria Wahlen - leave their friend’s residence in order to hitchhike to Los Angeles. When they fail to make their scheduled flight and do not return home to Sweden, they are officially reported missing and their decomposing bodies are eventually found in Los Padres National Forest. Eight years later, the Swedish consulate in San Diego receives an anonymous phone call which implicates a potential suspect in the crime, but no arrest is ever made. Who was actually responsible for the deaths of Marie and Maria? Did they fall prey to a notorious serial killer who started operating in California during that time period? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the unsolved murders of two Swedish hitchhikers.

July 25, 1995. Lincoln, Nebraska. 18-year old university student Tina McMenamin fails to show up for her shift at work and her body is found inside her apartment bedroom later that night. Tina has been sexually assaulted and stabbed seven times and the apartment is ransacked. Nearly one year later, DNA testing links a suspect named Gregory Gabel to a strand of hair found in Tina’s hand and he is subsequently charged with her murder. However, before Gabel can go to trial, a second round of DNA testing excludes him from being the source of the hair, so the charges against him are dismissed. Why did the multiple DNA tests provide such contradictory results? If Gregory Gabel was not actually guilty of this crime, then who actually killed Tina McMenamin? On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we shall explore a controversial murder which has remained unsolved for over 25 years.

August 4, 1984. Fort Myers, Florida. 20-year old Carol Woolsoncroft fails to show up for her shift at her workplace and is never heard from again. Three days later, Carol’s parents return home from vacation and discover her car parked outside their residence, as well as a note from Carol’s boyfriend, Eugene LaFaye Jr., who claims she has gone missing without explanation. Due to their troubled relationship, there is evidence to suggest that Eugene was responsible for Carol’s disappearance, but even though he eventually goes to prison for another murder, he never admits any involvement. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the unsolved disappearance of Carol Woolsoncroft, a case which was personally requested by her niece, Daphne Woolsoncroft, the co-host of the true crime podcast, “Going West: True Crime”.

April 10, 1967. Hometown, Illinois. Ralph Probst, a 30-year old officer with the Cook County Sheriff’s Police Department, spends the night at home watching television with his wife before he heads into the kitchen. Moments later, Ralph is fatally shot in back of the head after an unknown assailant fires a bullet through the kitchen window. Investigators look into the possibility that Ralph’s murder may have been orchestrated by a notorious mobster or that he was killed because he was secretly working on a big case involving a vice ring, but no arrests are ever made for the crime.
May 30, 1988. Markham, Illinois. After leaving his home to run some errands, Michael O’Mara, a 48-year old veteran captain with Cook County Sheriff’s Police Department, stops at a private service area to get some gas. Shortly thereafter, his unmarked police car is discovered at the pump with the nozzle in the fuel tank and Michael’s body is on a nearby grassy area with a gunshot wound to his head. Since Michael’s service revolver is lying to him and a bullet is missing from the chamber, his death is officially ruled to be a suicide. However, Michael’s family is not convinced that he took his own life and uncover some suspicious discrepancies to make them believe he was ambushed and murdered by an unknown party.
On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore two separate cold cases involving the suspicious deaths of highly respected law enforcement officers from Cook County.

December 15, 1996. Willingboro Township, New Jersey. After saying goodnight to her family, 12-year old Celina Mays heads for her bedroom, but is discovered to be missing the following morning. At the time, Celina was living with her father and a number of other relatives, who were all members of Gospel of Christ Ministries Inc., a church run by her paternal aunt which has been accused of operating like a cult. It also turns out that Celina was nine months pregnant at the time she went missing and her family maintains that she never revealed the identity of the child’s father. Did Celina run away voluntarily to escape her troubled home life? Or was her family and church concealing a dark secret about what happened to her?
