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.

February 2nd: Manuel Delgado Villegas Dies (1998) Most serial killers have a type. They have an MO or a victim type that can lead investigators straight to them like breadcrumbs. This, however, is not always the case. On February 2nd 1998 a man passed away who chose any type of victim who crossed his path.

One who employed him and gave him a place to live. A man who, later found to be suffering from mental illness, would tell investigators that he was haunted by visions and commanded to kill by a ghost. https://amok.fandom.com/wiki/Thomas_Hreczkosy, https://www.facebook.com/TodayInHorrorHistory/posts/january-29-1932elma-manitoba-canada-thomas-hreczkosy-kills-seven-members-of-a-fa/2231351160519180/, https://m.facebook.com/TodayInHorrorHistory/photos/january-29-1932elma-manitoba-canada-thomas-hreczkosy-kills-seven-members-of-a-fa/2231335643854065/, https://www.rarenewspapers.com/view/630734, https://billiongraves.com/grave/Tom-Hreczkosy/9333453 Learn more about your ad choices.
