MISSING: Christopher “Cole” Thomas

On Black Friday 2016, 22-year-old Christopher “Cole” Thomas was driving through rural North Carolina with two coworkers. Hours later, the coworkers approached police and said Cole had suddenly panicked, pulled over, and ran into the dark, never to be seen again. But their story later changed. Surveillance footage showed Cole was not alone. Phone data appeared to place the group at the scene of a late-night drug deal that went wrong. And somehow, the only person who disappeared was Cole.  In the years since, multiple men have been arrested, questioned, and released, but no one has been charged with his disappearance. His body has not been found. And despite conflicting statements, investigators believe someone knows exactly what happened that night. * Anyone with information is asked to contact the Benson Police Department at 919-894-2091 or info@bensonpd.org [info@bensonpd.org]. You can also call the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation at 919-779-8188.   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmxt6Ok6Qmo  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmxt6Ok6Qmo] Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Spencer Irwin

Spencer Irwin was just 30 years old when he vanished one Sunday morning in July 2024. Days later, his body was found in a way that raised questions – naked, alone and quickly dismissed by authorities. But their assumptions about Spencer were wrong. As his mother began asking questions, the answers she received only raised more red flags: no autopsy, missing belongings and a timeline full of gaps no one seemed interested in filling. When toxicology results came back, they didn’t just complicate the story, they began to unravel it. Refusing to accept a conclusion that didn’t add up, Spencer’s mother launched her own investigation. What she uncovered was deeply unsettling. As new witnesses came forward and experts weighed in, one thing became clear — the case may have been written off too soon. The truth is buried somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. * If you have any information regarding the mysterious death of Spencer Irwin, you can contact the Fresno Police Department directly at 559-621-7000 or anonymously through Valley Crime Stoppers by texting ‘VALLEY’ to 738477.   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvurPm1zeU4 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvurPm1zeU4] Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

MURDERED: Brittany McGlone

On May 4, 2007, 19-year-old Brittany McGlone did something she rarely did. Instead of going home after work, she went to her boyfriend’s house. By that afternoon, she was found dead in his bed, brutally beaten. She was naked, and her underwear was missing from the scene. In the home’s only bathroom, investigators found signs the killer may have showered before leaving. There were no signs of forced entry or robbery, only a small circle of people who knew she would be there. More than 15 years later, one man was arrested, but he was later released and walked free. Someone still knows what happened in that house. Brittany McGlone’s family received a Season of Justice grant. In 2025, they put up a billboard near Winnsboro, in Sulphur Springs, Texas, asking for tips. It is scheduled to come down soon, which is why this episode is being released now, so the family’s plea for help can be heard not just in Wood County, but around the world. * Anyone with information can remain anonymous by calling Wood County Crime Stoppers at 903-760-1008 or contacting the Wood County Sheriff’s Office at 903-763-2201.   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8GdaR5qs_M [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8GdaR5qs_M] Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.
