Far removed from the Free Love and Peace of the late 1960s, the late 19970s were pay to play. In 1978 a body was found in rural Iowa. She would be Jane Doe for three decades. This is Unidentified Female – The Story or Wilma June Nissen.By Central State Studios

Sometimes when a case is researched, very little information is found. In the case of 18-year-old Calab Luckett who was found shot in an abandoned apartment, is no different. While the crew found little information about his killer, they found a lot of information about a systemic problem of violence among youth.…

In November 1997, 13 year old Ricky Lane Thomas vanished into thin air. Speculation surrounded a step father and the rural background makes a random abduction unlikely. Will we ever know where Ricky is?By Central State Studios

It takes a special kind of evil to prey on the weak. Sarah Gibbs had autism spectrum disorder and was the target of someone heinous. In December of 2014, in Warsaw, Indiana she was murdered and a fire was started to cover it up. Her case remains cold. Or does it?By Central State Studios

The 1988 Murder of Mary Plummer is nothing short of a travesty. Taken before her time, her family still suffers. In cold cases like these, that are still entirely solvable, justice is still to be served. The prime suspect may be long dead, but the preponderance of evidence suggests he likely did not act alone.…

The murder of Mary Plummer is not without suspects. But what do you do when all the people who have motive and opportunity also have alibis? As we learn this week, no alibi is airtight. We just have to find the leaks.By Central State Studios

Of course, a spouse will always be the first suspect in a homicide. Some will have doubts, especially when a case goes cold. As we ask who and why would anyone want to kill Mary Plummer, we have to look at everyone, starting with those closest to her.By Central State Studios

These days, most of our cases come from listeners, or family members who want desperately to solve a case close to them. The family of a missing Missouri MMA fighter wants answers before the case becomes cold. This is the story of David Koenig, The Missing Giant.By Central State Studios

Marcie Fuller Swinford deserves justice. As do many missing and murdered victims. Surely, in a free society adults have a right to be missing, to run away, or start over. But where does that right end as the families and loved ones fear for their well being? That is why many states have adopted laws forcing local law enforcement to investigate adul…

This week, we hear from family: Marcie’s niece, Courtney tell us what the case means to her. We’ll update our relationship with the Sheriff’s Department and give a special insight from Marcie’s youngest son. Why contrast sides of a story when we all have a common goal?By Central State Studios

In the 1985 murder of Marcie Fuller Swinford there is no shortage of suspects. Each with his own opportunity, but the motives raise eyebrows. That's not all of Vigo County's secrets.By Central State Studios

On August 2nd, 1985 Marcie Fuller Swinford went missing while out running errands. The young mother's remains were found nine days later in a wooded area, miles from where the car she was driving was found. More than 35 years later, the case remains unsolved.By Central State Studios

There are facts and there are theories. Without police help, we are limited in facts but. there are no shortage of theories. Not many of them come to a conclusion of suicide. We give a special, "Thank You," to those who have helped share Joseph's story.By Central State Studios

Between truth and mystery are the fringe theories. Some theories are plausible while others are far fetched. This week Joseph's father shares some theories while the crew pieces them together. Andrew Sadek comes to mind. Are there secret reasons the police don't want to share the information with the family?…

This week we dive deeper into the seemingly odd differences between Joseph’s case and other cases at Indiana University. Was it racial? Was is circumstantial? We hear from Andrea Stirling on the reaction of his disappearance and death, and the campus handling of racial issues. His neighbor has something to say and Vivianne is far from giving up.…
