The Trail Went Cold Podcast - New Episode on The Death of Rhonda Hinson - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

RobinW · 03-30-2016, 03:36 PM

Hello again, folks. A lot of you are probably already familiar with my new true crime podcast, "The Trail Went Cold", which covers a lot of cases featured on "Unsolved Mysteries". I am now on Episode#4 and this week, I will be covering a classic UM case, the death of Rhonda Hinson:

This one was suggested last month by one of our posters here, jjmcgr, and I thought it would be an ideal case to analyze on the podcast. It's always been widely debated around here about whether or not Rhonda's death was premeditated murder or a freak accident gone wrong, so I try to examine both sides. Thanks for listening!

I just wanted to commend you on your podcast, they are great! I am glad that these cases have not been forgotten!

bigsir58 · 03-31-2016, 10:20 AM

Also I think you should cover the Don Kemp mystery, and mention about the posts his sister left on this board!

biscuitgirl · 03-31-2016, 11:57 AM

I agree! I love that you are featuring episodes on people from UM!

Also, my husband and I listened to your episode on David Cox on a ride home this weekend and both thoroughly enjoyed it. He's not a mystery nut like me but he was very intrigued by the story. Keep up the good work!

Edit: Yes, please also cover Don Kemp at some point!

RobinW · 03-31-2016, 12:31 PM

Thanks a lot for the compliments. Glad to hear you're enjoying the podcast. I hadn't thought about doing an episode on Don Kemp since I've always believed he just wandered off and died of exposure, but I just went back and found those posts from his sister and they definitely add another level of intrigue to this case.

My next episode is finished and while it's not an UM case this time, it is one of the more infamous cases featured on "Disappeared"...

Great podcast! Hope it's Zebb Quinn case.
Like to see a Blair Adams one!

Thank you. I was thinking of doing those cases, but I saw they were covered very thoroughly on the Thinking Sideways podcast (the Adams case only a few weeks ago) and I usually prefer to do cases that haven't got a lot of play on other podcasts.

Great podcast Robin!

A good case that hasn't received a lot of attention happened about 10 minutes from where I grew up. The disappearances of Paul Skiba, his daughter Sarah, and his employee Lorenzo Chivers.

A good article about the case:

Can't wait to hear the next episode.

This is your fourth podcast? Whoa, I'm way behind. I've only listened to the Aileen Conway case. Could you please tell me which other ones (besides Rhonda Hinson) that you've done? Thanks.

Same! Trying to think of the most infamous Disappeared case haha.

I think all the suggestions in this thread are great. Other contenders:

Amy Bechtel

Toni Lee Sharpless

Leah Roberts

Suzy Lyall

Bob Harrod

Virginia Lynn Wood, Kelly Gaskins, and Ervin Braxton Williams

Richard Keith Call and Cassandra Hailey

Kristin Smart

I'll stop now haha. I could keep going forever!

Sure thing. The other two episodes were the murder of David Cox and a non-UM case, the 1974 disappearance of the "Fort Worth Three". All the episodes can be found on my website's front page:

Thanks for all your suggestions, everyone. I certainly do take requests (the Rhonda Hinson case was one of them), so now I have a lot of potential material to choose from.

It's not a UM case, but the murder of Marilyn Sheppard would be a good one because nobody has ever been able to prove conclusively who killed her, and at the time it was considered the crime of the century because of all the media attention.

Here's a huge fountain of information: http://watchingrobertpickton88015.yu.../#.VwBMZ3rPxyw

I'm actually surprised Unsolved Mysteries didn't cover this case because of all the twists and turns, and the sheer volume of suspects/suspicion. If they did, they probably would've had to devote an entire episode to it just to be able to get all the information out there.

DALLASTEXAN!! · 04-01-2016, 05:08 PM

Good work as always Robin! I will look fwd to listening to more of your ensight. On all of these. Have you heard of the Amber haggerman case? It's one that stays with me because of where I'm from and the Amber alert is named in her memory. I also have two daughters around her age. I don't know how much info is out there but she was featured on AMW. Would like to see her on UM one day if they ever take new cases. She was murdered in 1996 if I'm correct and no suspects have ever been officially named. It would be a difficult one.

That one was recently profiled on "A Crime To Remember", which devoted an hour long episode to it. Haven't watched it yet, but it sounds fascinating.
