Our Editor's Take

The ColdCaseDetective podcast explores the stories behind puzzling cases of missing persons. Host Timothy Ruesch is a podcast producer, creator, and writer. Each episode immediately immerses the listener in a new criminal case.

On the podcast, Timothy explores cold cases from the Victorian age, which have long gone unsolved. Among them are serial killers who not only murder their victims. They venture into cannibalism, too. One podcast episode transports listeners to the glamor of Hollywood. Actors seeking fame head to this famous destination, hoping to fulfill their dreams. Yet, much more lurks behind its bright lights.

Timothy explores two cases of actors vanishing without any evidence of their whereabouts. One is Tammy Lynn Leppert, a model, beauty queen, and actress. She won crowns for 280 of the 300 beauty pageants she entered. Strange behavior and a potential breakdown led up to Tammy's 1983 disappearance. The podcast explores what happened and the theories surrounding the case.

Another episode focuses on disturbing crime scenes, known as Houses of Horror." As criminals go behind bars, the locations where they committed the crimes remain. Timothy starts by describing one such place before it became a crime scene. It was a picturesque, suburban home situated in a peaceful neighborhood. How did this family home become the site of one of the state's most disturbing crimes? Timothy reveals all the details on the podcast.

A special podcast episode features an interview with retired police officer Bill Blackwood. He lived and worked in Yorkshire at the time of the Yorkshire Ripper. Peter Sutcliffe was the most terrifying serial killer in Britain. He started his spate of crimes in 1969. Bill discusses fascinating insights into the case and its controversial investigation.
