December 18th, 2011. A car’s left running in the middle of East St. Louis. Door open. Shoes on the floor. ID still sitting pretty.

Local cops showed up, yawned, and said, "Meh, probably nothing."

Spoiler: it wasn’t nothing.

This week on True Terror on Tap, we cover the case of Phoenix Coldon—where lazy police work, a running SUV, and two missing hours turned into a mystery no one bothered to solve.

We don't make fun of the victims. But the clowns who fumbled this case? Fair game.

This is True Terror on Tap.

Got a tip? (Not you, Officer Sleepy.)
