Gone Cold - Texas True Crime

In Houston, Texas, the 1970s was a decade marred by violent crime. From high-risk adults to completely innocent children, the era saw little mercy. When 15-year-old Patricia “Pat” Humphreys, her sister Deb, and friends went to the Thunderbird Twin Drive Inn, it was supposed to be a carefree night. It was the first night, in fact, that Pat and Deb were given the responsibility of taking the family car out. But during intermission, Pat parted ways from the group, and she was never seen alive again. If you have any information about the murder of Patricia Kaye Humphreys, please contact the Homicide Unit at the Houston Police Department at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-8477.  You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast [https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast] Find us at https://www.gonecold.com [https://www.gonecold.com] For Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.com [https://gonecold.dashery.com] Follow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Part 2 of 2. Two years after the murder of 32-year-old Lauren Whitener, a potential suspect emerged when the dismembered bodies of three people were found burning in a Fort Worth dumpster. The person who murdered them, Jason Alan Thornburg, was apprehended relatively quickly and readily confessed to two other murders as well. A few years before Thornburg’s conviction for the three murders, the prime suspect in Lauren’s murder, Rodney Aric Maxwell, was released on bond after sitting in a Wise County jail for almost 6 months. Not long after that, the charges against him were dismissed. Although Sheriff Lane Akin insists Maxwell is their guy, none of the evidence they originally used against him linked him to Lauren’s murder at all. If you have any information about the murder of Lauren Anee Whitener, please contact the Wise County Sheriff’s Office at 940-627-5971 or Texas Crime Stoppers at 940-627-8477 You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us at https://www.gonecold.com For Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.com Follow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

On July 5th, 2019, a Lake Bridgeport, Texas couple awoke to the smell of smoke. After determining there was a fire in the duplex unit attached to theirs, they called 911. When firefighters extinguished the blaze, they found the body of one of the home’s occupants – 32-year-old Lauren Anne Whitener. It was later determined that the fire wasn’t what killed the woman; instead, it was multiple stab wounds to her back and neck. After an investigation by the Wise County Sheriff’s Office, an arrest was made. But when a defense attorney was appointed to represent the suspect, doubts about his guilt arose. The case, it seemed, hinged on a single blade of grass.

Between May and July of 2006, two women went missing from Jacksonville, Texas: Shaunte Coleman and Terri Reyes. According to an area newspaper, the women knew each other, but that wasn’t the connection that made foul play seem incredibly likely. It was their connection to a disgraced policeman – one accused of rape and assault many times over – that garnered the most suspicion. That suspicion, however, was felt far more by the public than the police, since both Terri and Shaunte roamed some and had known drug issues. Because of that, police seemed reluctant to investigate the disappearances properly. When their remains were found, the investigation shifted to another police agency entirely. If you have any information about the deaths of Shaunte Mone Coleman or Terri Renee Reyes, please call the Nacogdoches county sheriff's office at 936-560-7794 or Texas Crime Stoppers at  800-252-8477.

In April of 2022, Felicia Johnson flew to Houston, Texas from San Diego, California to celebrate her 24th birthday and look for work in the area. Upon booking a client late one night, Felicia disappeared. Law enforcement, volunteers, and Texas Equusearch performed searches around the areas she was thought to possibly be, but the efforts were fruitless. Though the public strongly believed Felicia was the victim of sex trafficking, Houston Police Detectives were following leads of a different kind – leads that would uncover an aspiring serial killer was responsible for her disappearance. Eventually, Felicia’s remains were recovered, but the man who allegedly murdered her remains a fugitive from justice. If you have any information about the murder of Felicia Johnson or the whereabouts of Chukwuebuka Chibundo Nwobodo, please contact the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division at (713) 308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.
