In February 1983, the Ohio Valley was struck by a terrible snowstorm which eclipsed any such storm in a forty (40) year history. Roads were impassible and power outages impaled the region. However, on February 13, 1983, just as the storm came to a bitter end, an elderly couple witnessed what they believed to be a mannequin that had been disposed of over a hillside off Route 250 near Littleton, WV. The “mannequin” was actually a human body, which had been discarded over the embankment in the pre dawn hours of the day. It was estimated that the body had been deceased around 48 hours prior to the discovery, but had been placed only hours before. Throughout the years, the case has been shrouded in mystery bringing forth a multitude of theories, but yielding no answers to our Jane Doe’s true fate. Join the Cold Case Crew and they delve into the mysterious murder of the Wetzel County Jane Doe. A cold case local to Wetzel County, West Virginia.

(WO)MAN OVERBOARD— On March 22, 2011, twenty four (24) year old Rebecca Coriam of Chester, England, failed to report to her job as a “Youth Worker” aboard the Disney Cruise Line, The Wonder. When both a ship wide and water search failed to provide answers, Disney contacted the Coriam’s, informing them that their daughter was missing. The official narrative states that Rebecca was washed overboard by a rogue wave while on Deck 5 in the early morning hours of March 22nd, but the facts of the case make this theory flawed. What truly happened to Rebecca Coriam? Join the Cold Case Crew as they discuss, “The Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam,” A maritime mystery from the depths of the Mexican Riviera.

STILL ANONYMOUS— On May 10, 1950, a mushroom picker named Benjamin Mills discovered the nude body of a redheaded woman that had been discarded down an embankment (known by locals as "Lovers Leap") on a secluded section of US 522 just outside of Berkeley Springs, WV. An autopsy revealed that the female had been strangled with a rope or similar means of asphyxiation in addition to being beaten.
She is described as being between the ages of 30-40 years, 5’5” tall and weighing 125-130 pounds. She has the following identifiable scars: a Y shaped scar on the outside of her right wrist, a W shaped scar on her forehead, a 4” appendectomy scar and a 10” hysterectomy scar. Though her eye color was unable to be identified, she did have red hair and freckles on her arms and hands.
Join the Cold Case Crew as they re-tell the story of The Morgan County Jane Doe a 1950 Cold Case from Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.

“But what about my babies!”— It may sound cliche, I know, but as a mother, you rarely give a second thought to what would happen if you somehow found yourself forcibly taken from your children prematurely. You partially think this because so often that is not the case, that ‘It’s not going to happen to me,” but maybe too because you know that it is your worst fear realized and if you think on it too long it’s absolutely terrifying. But sadly it is a reality, especially in many missing persons cases. On July 19, 2006, twenty one (21) year old Melanie Metheny of Belle, West Virginia dropped two (2) of her three (3) children off at The Country Kids Daycare. Melanie was a devoted single mother, who had been making strides to become a nurse. Melanie made remarks to several individuals that morning that she intended to run over to the Garnet Career Center to pick up some transcripts that she needed for the upcoming semester. But Melanie would never make it to the Career Center and by the end of the day, Staff at the Country Kids Daycare contacted Melanie’s family, informing them that Melanie had never arrived back to pick up her children. Melanie has not been seen or heard from since. As clues began to unfold, the circumstances of Melanie’s fate became even blurrier and the events leading up to her disappearance shrouded in mystery. Join the Cold Case Crew as they re-tell The Disappearance of Melanie Metheny, a 2006 Cold Case from Kanawha County and the first in our Capital Crimes Comeback!#MelanieMetheny #UnsolvedDisappearance #UnsolvedMurder #Unsolved #Disappeared #Vanished #MissingPersons #2006 #CrimesOfOurCapitolCity #ColdCasesOfKanawhaCounty #WestVirginiaUnsolved #ColdCasesOfWestVirginia #WhereIsMelanie? #JusticeForMelanieMetheny

On the night of October 26, 1986, avid baseball fan John Phillips of North Kingston, RI, attended a World Series party at the residence of a friend to watch the Boston Red Sox take on the NY Mets. He left around 10:30pm, opting to walk the 2.9 miles back to his apartment in East Greenwich. However, John would never make it home. In the early morning hours of October 27th, John’s body was discovered in the parking lot of Golf World, less than a mile from where he left the party. He had been shot once in the head, and his death was ruled a suicide. For fifteen (15) years, there would be no investigation into the suspicious circumstances that surrounded John’s death. In 2001, authorities with the NK Police Department officially changed his cause of death to homicide. Who killed John Phillips?

On the eve of January 18, 1970, Mared Malarik and Karen Ferrell, two (2) freshman students at West Virginia University, disappeared while hitchhiking back to their dorm after attending a showing of the movie, Oliver! at the Metropolitan Theater in downtown Morgantown. Initially the girls were believed to have run off on their own free will, but soon authorities would learn the true nature of the fate of the young Co-Eds. With the discovery of the beheaded bodies ten (10) miles out of Morgantown, and the absence of the heads, Morgantown PD and the West Virginia State Police were soon tasked with the overwhelming responsibility of figuring out What Happened to Mared and Karen? In Part 1 of our two (2) part season finale, the Cold Case Crew takes you back to Morgantown in the 1970’s. We learn about our victims, Mared and Karen, discuss the circumstances of their disappearance and the search efforts leading up to the grisly discovery of the bodies.

It is well known among conspiracy theorists the fate the befell Journalist Danny Casolaro in the early morning hours of August 10, 1991 in Martinsburg, WV. The questions that seem to follow this case appear never ending, only leading to more. Why would a man, at the pinnacle of his research and career, kill himself in a bathtub at the Sheraton Hotel? In the days leading up to his demise, that Danny had traveled to Martinsburg, WV to facilitate the exchange of information which should have wrapped up his research for an upcoming book he had spent the last year writing. A book that, if proven to be true, would blow the whistle on multiple facets of government corruption among top ranking U.S. Officials. For years, many have speculated that it was this knowledge that ultimately got Danny killed. But what truly happened to Danny Casolaro? Join the Cold Case Crew as they discuss “The Suspicious Murder of Danny Casolaro and the Octopus Conspiracy,” a case local to Martinsburg, WV.

Banking Executive LaRoy Gorman seemingly had the world on a string. Gorman, a self made man who scaled the proverbial ladder of success, sat on the board of multiple charities and was a well respected member of the Charleston Business Community. On the evening of November 12, 1982, Gorman and his girlfriend were leaving the Steak and Ale Restaurant when he was struck by three (3) gunshots as he attempted to enter his vehicle. His assailant promptly peeled out of the parking lot, never to be identified. But what started out as a fairly straightforward investigation into one of Charleston’s most respectable citizens soon became muddled with confusion as revelations of Gorman’s personal life were brought into question. Who would want to kill LaRoy Gorman? Join the CCC for the final installment in our “Crimes of Our Capitol City Series” The 1982 “Murder of LaRoy Gorman,” a Cold Case local to Kanawha County, WV.

On the evening of Friday, March 16, 1990, thirty four (34) year old Lynn Parker Priestley went out with some friends and a man she was casually dating for dinner and drinks. Lynn and her date broke away from the group for a stint of time, patronizing the Tidewater Grill in the Charleston Town Center. Lynn agreed to meet up with her friends at a popular bar, Spanky’s about an hour later, but she would never show up. Despite the conflicting timelines of events, the facts of Lynns case are simple: she was last seen alive around 12:30am by a bailiff outside the Judicial Annex Building downtown. At the time of this encounter, she was said to have been arguing with a man who was presumably her date. Lynn’s nude body was discovered five (5) days later by a fisherman on the banks of the Kanawha River between Chesapeake and Cheylan. What sequence of events took place after 12:30am in the early hours of March 17, 1990? How did Lynn Priestley end up dead on the side of a riverbank? Join the Cold Case Crew as they re-tell “The Murder of Lynn Priestley” a Cold Case local to Charleston, WV and the second in our “Crimes of Our Capitol City” series.

On the October 22, 1949, Rosina “Rosie” Fazio, left her residence in Charleston, WV to go to the market and collect groceries for her local beer garden and restaurant. The details of the events that follow are vague at best, blurred by conflicting news reports and slowly erased by the years of time. The story goes that Rosina had been thrown from a vehicle not once but twice, and had sustained life threatening injuries before finally being discovered around 11:30pm. She succumbed to her injuries several days later, but not before identifying her assailant, who to this day is shrouded in mystery. Join Ashley, Beth and Whitney as they re-tell “The Murder of Rosina Fazio,” a cold case local to Charleston, West Virginia and the first in our “Crimes of Our Capitol City” Series.
It will be 73 years this October since the senseless murder of Rosina Fazio and her case is still unsolved. Since this is not an open or active cold case, please feel free to reach out to us at coldcasecrew00@gmail.com if you have any insight or information on the murder of Rosina Fazio.

Between 1962-1964 Southern West Virginia was being haunted by the presence of a seemingly “Mad Man.” Throughout the course of several years as many as seven (7) men disappeared while walking alone or hitchhiking in Fayette and Wyoming Counties. It wasn’t until the butchered remains of Mike Rogers were discovered in December 1962 that panic spread throughout the small Appalachian Community and the legend of “Mad Butcher of West Virginia” took hold. Though only two (2) butchered bodies were ever discovered, the whereabouts of the others remain a mystery. Come along with the Cold Case Crew as they re-tell the story of the “Mad Butcher of West Virginia.” In this Part 1, we will discuss the victims and the circumstances surrounding the disappearances and follow up with the investigation and suspects in our next episode.

Here, you as the listener get to see first hand our thoughts and reactions to the case as well as the process of investigation in its infancy stages. So, grab a note pad and pen, and join us as we take a look at our first case…
In October of 1979, 7 year old Elizabeth Barclay was abducted while walking to the grocery store as an errand for her mother. The disappearance of the young girl confounded law enforcement until several months later, when the skeletonized remains of the young girl were discovered scattered along a secluded stretch of Texas roadway. Join us as we share the story of “The Murder of Elizabeth Lynne Barclay,” a Cold Case local to Dallas, Texas.
