Cold Case Chronicles

The Cold Case Chronicles is a group of women dedicated to investigating, researching, and reporting on cold cases.  Join the Cold Case Crew on their inaugural episode as they introduce themselves, describe how they met, and give the basics on their first case, The Murder of Linda Weldy.  Murdered as a child in February 1987, Linda's case remains unsolved.  Follow along as they define the crime and build a suspect list.  

In the  unsolved murder of Little Linda Weldy in February of 1987, many believe accused serial killer Larry Hall may have been involved.  Is he a convenient scapegoat or is he a sinister murderer?  Or both?  Listen in as the Crew addresses the possibility either Linda was killed by Larry Hall or possibly persuaded by a book insinuating his involvement.

As promised the Cold Case Crew is following up with a summary and one more suspect.  Follow along as the team summarizes their findings and interacts with the case.  The Crew will not rest until justice is served for Linda.

On December 11th, 1986 Brandie Peltz was found murdered in a bathtub, while her house was set on fire.  Since then, the small town she was from has been divided by conjecture over who is responsible for her death.  Welcome to Argos, IN.  Follow along as the Cold Case Crew opens the case.

In part two of the Brandie Peltz murder, Rumors run rampant.  This week the case takes a look at Brandie's family and identifies the rumors surrounding her unsolved murder.  In the town of Argos, IN everyone has a theory, and they all differ.

Since Brandie's cold case murder in 1986 has gone unsolved, urban legends have replaced facts.  In 2011 Thomas Crowel wrote a fictionalized account of Brandie's assault and murder.  Though fiction, Crowel says the book is true.  This may have swayed the jury of public opinion.  An interview with the author may clear things up.  

The Crew continues with the interpretation of the book, The Passerby and including more inserts from the author's interview.  In the murder of Brandie Peltz, the preponderance of hearsay evidence has struck the gavel for a few people.  However, the lack of physical evidence must be noted.

This True Crime puzzle of who killed Brandie Peltz has everyone confused.

Lacking credible evidence of the passerby committing the crime, this week the crew looks at the array of other suspects.  When Brandie Peltz was murdered in 1986, this cold case is likely because of the "WHY?"  Who would?  Who could? And what would the motive be?

Argos, Indiana is a quaint little town. But on August 17th, 1984 a seemingly random attack on a young mother, in her home, while her children were present shook this farming community.  Her body was found a day later by a timber harvester, just a few miles from her home.  

In the murder of Darlene Hulse, the net is tightening around a suspect.  Though still unnamed, the clock is ticking.  With new forensic evidence on the horizon, the Crew is optimistic.  This week Amy interviews the Prosecutor from Marshall County.  There is also a very compelling interview with Darlene's youngest daughter who is leading the charge for justice.

In the murder of Darlene Hulse, there are two more potential suspects.  Is it a local with a penchant for attacking women?  Or is it someone more sinister?  Since 1984, no one has been charged.  Can you help us catch a killer?  

On July 24th, 2006 Blake and Chynna Dickus were found brutally murdered in their own home.  Blake, just 10 and Chynna, his young step mother were stabbed, beaten, and strangled just moments before Sean, father and husband returned home from work.  Do you have information that could help catch a killer?

The conversation continues this week as the crew discusses the crime scene, motive, and potential suspects.  Blake, just 10 years old, and his step mother Chynna were brutally murdered in their home.  It has been over 13 years and no suspects have been named.  

In the Dickus Murders, where Blake and Chynna were brutally attacked at home in 2006, there is a potential witness to the timeline.  Can she both corroborate or break a timeline?  Who does she think is guilty?
