  • The Wetzel County Jane Doe (1983)
    Jan 21 2024

    In February 1983, the Ohio Valley was struck by a terrible snowstorm which eclipsed any such storm in a forty (40) year history. Roads were impassible and power outages impaled the region. However, on February 13, 1983, just as the storm came to a bitter end, an elderly couple witnessed what they believed to be a mannequin that had been disposed of over a hillside off Route 250 near Littleton, WV. The “mannequin” was actually a human body, which had been discarded over the embankment in the pre dawn hours of the day. It was estimated that the body had been deceased around 48 hours prior to the discovery, but had been placed only hours before. Throughout the years, the case has been shrouded in mystery bringing forth a multitude of theories, but yielding no answers to our Jane Doe’s true fate. Join the Cold Case Crew and they delve into the mysterious murder of the Wetzel County Jane Doe. A cold case local to Wetzel County, West Virginia.

  • The Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam (Cruise Ship Disappearances Pt. 2)
    Aug 20 2023

    (WO)MAN OVERBOARD— On March 22, 2011, twenty four (24) year old Rebecca Coriam of Chester, England, failed to report to her job as a “Youth Worker” aboard the Disney Cruise Line, The Wonder. When both a ship wide and water search failed to provide answers, Disney contacted the Coriam’s, informing them that their daughter was missing. The official narrative states that Rebecca was washed overboard by a rogue wave while on Deck 5 in the early morning hours of March 22nd, but the facts of the case make this theory flawed. What truly happened to Rebecca Coriam? Join the Cold Case Crew as they discuss, “The Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam,” A maritime mystery from the depths of the Mexican Riviera.
