On this episode of gone cold, we cover two unrelated stories from the city of El Paso; both likely impacted, or were impacted by, the 1987 desert killings thought by law enforcement to be perpetrated solely by David Leonard Wood. Before listening, we highly suggest you check out our episodes “Lost in the Desert” Parts 1 & 2.

First, the disappearance and murder of 16-year-old Angie Irsay in 1988, followed by the murder of Jacqueline Romero in 1986. Jacqueline’s murder was, perhaps, solved. A jury, however, disagreed, leaving her probable murderer free from accountability. Angie Irsay’s case in contrast, never came close to resolution.

Cover photo is Angie Irsay. We could not find a photo of Jacqueline Romero.

If you have any information about the murder of Angela Margarite Irsay or Jaqueline Belinda Romero, please call Crime stoppers of El Paso at (915) 566 – 8477.
