A 7 YEAR OLD AND 50 COLD CASE MURDERS HAVE BEEN SOLVED

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't have to say I'm pretty excited. We've been
able to have an episode almost every week of cold
cases because they're really solving a lot of these cold cases.
I mean, it's happening throughout the nation. This new one
now is over in Texas, a man is now charged
in a murder case that happened more than seven years ago.
John Carter was arrested in Houston last Wednesday for the
twenty seventeen shooting death of Steve Hollins. Investigator believe Hark, Carter,

(00:23):
and Hollands were in the process of robbing someone for
money when Hollins was shot and Carter ran from the scene.
The Deputy Chief Wagner released the following statement, The LMPD
Patrol Division and CSU Division work hard to keep the
streets safe, so this was a mystery. It looked like
he both of them were in the process of robbing.

(00:45):
It looked like he shot his partner for whatever reason,
or he was shot by somebody. They don't give us
much information about it, but at least if we have
relatives who know Hollins, whose name is Steve Hollins, now
they've figured out who murdered him. In another case, we

(01:05):
see a woman by the name of Phyllis Baylor who
was killed on July seventh, nineteen seventy two. Baylor had
been sexually assaulted and shot to death. Her three year
old daughter was with her and unharmed. No arrests were made.
Years later, a partial DNA profile was developed from Baylor's clothing,
which eliminated the authority's main suspect. The murder continued to

(01:26):
go on for decades unsolved, but last year a much
stronger DNA profile was developed and investigators started working with
that genealogy company that deals with DNA, and police identified
Fred Lineman that was the person who left DNA on
Baylor's clothing. Lineman, at the time, was twenty five with
the murder, he had no connections to Phyllis Baylor, but

(01:48):
had a significant criminal history. Lineman was killed and Detroit
in nineteen eighty five. Police said if he was alive,
prosecutors would charge him with Baylor's murder. Baylor never made
it to the bluff and to visit her family. After
years of questions, his family finally has answers about what
happened to her in that faithful day. So it looks

(02:09):
like they have identified who the perpetrator was, so after
fifty years, the mom who was killed and the daughter
who was left alive now have some resolution. The daughter
has some resolution about what happened.
