Introducing Cold The Search For Sheree
Introducing Cold The Search For Sheree Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life. Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren? Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 10 episodes of COLD: The Search for Sheree ad-free on Amazon Music.

Studious and quiet Christine was unhappy at UW, and hoped to transfer – but two days before she was due to leave, she was murdered in a brutal and sadistic case of overkill. Her brazen killer waylaid her in broad daylight, and arranged her in a gruesome tableau that resulted in him being termed a psychopath.

Rebecca Love, a graduate student, was murdered in her dorm room at the college in 2007. Libby Squire, an undergraduate, was abducted while walking alone on the streets of Hull in 2019. The cases are very different, with Rebecca’s killer being a love interest, and Libby’s killer being a stranger.

John Edward Roach
Episode 8 John Edward Roach In 1958, a brutal murder took place on the campus of Delaware College (which is now called the University of Delaware).

This murder took place in the middle of the day, in the middle of a public school building, in the middle of a brawl. Student John Edward Roach was stabbed in the throat in a room full of brawling young men – yet no one saw his murderer strike. His last whispered words were heard by many – but his murderer went free. Roach’s unsolved homicide has left the Delaware institution with a legacy of ghost stories and tales of hauntings that continue to this day. This is the story of John Edward Roach.

Jane Britton
Episode 5 Jane Britton In January 1969, a brutal murder of a graduate student shocked Harvard University. Jane Britton was found raped and beaten to death in her apartment. The investigation rocked Harvard’s esteemed faculty when several anthropology professors came under investigation for the murder, who were under scrutiny because a red powder sprinkled at the murder scene paralleled an ancient burial rite. There were also whispers that Jane was involved in an affair with a professor, and her boyfriend, also a student, was interrogated several times. But no one could be connected to the murder, and Jane’s case went cold. When her killer was revealed, he had no connection to Harvard at all. Follow Campus Killings on Social Media.

Pam Milam
Episode 4 Pam Milam In this episode we discuss a truly devastating campus murder – the 1972 abduction, rape and slaying of college student Pam Milam. Pam was enjoying sorority rush week at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. She attended some evening events with her friends, and left a party before midnight to go move her car closer to the dormitory suite. She never returned. The next day her father located her distinct vehicle parked in a different spot, and in the trunk was Pam, bound and strangled. Authorities looked at numerous suspects, including a fellow student who abducted and raped at least 2 women, but the case went cold. Forensic Genealogy conducted decades later pointed to a suspect no one had ever considered – multiple offender Jeffrey Lynn Hand. We will take a look at Hand, and the nexus between the violent rapist and killer and the promising young woman whose life he snuffed out. Follow Campus Killings on Social Media.
