In this emotional and revealing episode of TheColdCases.com Podcast, host Dustin Terry sits down with Lori Matte, the sister of 45-year-old David Charles Matte, who was brutally attacked and left for dead on the side of a Louisiana road in July 2004.
Nearly twenty-one years later, David’s murder remains unsolved — but Lori refuses to let her brother’s story be forgotten. In this powerful interview, she opens up about the night everything changed, her family’s decades-long struggle with unanswered questions, and the hope that someone still out there holds the key to justice.
Together, we revisit the details of the case, explore the evidence that went cold, and discuss how advances in forensics and public awareness might finally bring closure to the Matte family.
🕯️ This episode is a reminder that behind every cold case is a warm heart still beating for truth — and that justice delayed is never justice forgotten.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
