🔎 TheColdCases.com Podcast | True Crime & Cold Cases

This episode investigates a viral Instagram claim: “Over 100 missing children in Virginia since June — and no media coverage.”

But is it fact, or just another wave of misinformation tied to cold cases and unsolved crimes?

Host Dustin Terry takes listeners deep into the world of true crime stories, breaking down how missing child reports really work, why statistics often get misrepresented, and how journalism can sometimes fail families in their search for answers. While many reports resolve quickly, countless others become forgotten crimes — cases where the families are left waiting and hoping for justice.

In this gripping two-hour crime story, Dustin explores:

📊 The real numbers behind Virginia’s missing children cases
🕵️‍♂️ How rumors about unsolved crimes spread so fast online
📰 The role of media silence and the impact of “missing white woman syndrome”
💔 The real children behind the statistics — their names, their faces, and their families’ struggles for closure

This isn’t just a discussion about rumors. It’s an in-depth piece of investigative journalism, shining light on overlooked stories and the evidence that matters most: the lives of children still missing.

👉 Tune in now to TheColdCases.com Podcast and discover how awareness can turn silence into action in the fight to solve cold cases, uncover the truth behind real crime, and keep murder stories and missing persons from being forgotten.
