2002 - Bridgeport, Ohio In July 2002, 45-year-old John Cornelius “JC” McGhee was gunned down in the doorway of his home in Bridgeport, Ohio, just across the river from West Virginia. The case drew little attention at the time—and quickly slipped from the headlines. Now, decades later, his daughter, Madison McGhee, is demanding answers. Through her investigative podcast, Ice Cold Case, she’s shining a spotlight on her father’s unsolved murder, exposing the skeletons in her own family’s closet, and challenging a community that may hold long-buried secrets—and the name of a killer—to finally come forward. If you have any information on the murder of JC MCGhee, please contact the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office at (740) 695-5124.

1912 - Carmel, Maine. When 14-year-old Naomi Etta Mitchell vanished on her walk to the general store, the tiny town of Carmel, ME mobilized overnight. Neighbors scoured the woods, lanterns in hand, until their worst fear was confirmed—Naomi’s body had been found. Suspicion fell almost immediately on J. Sherman Gray, the man witnesses had seen trailing her that night. But before authorities could close in, Sherman disappeared. Now, with each passing day, frustration in Carmel was boiling over. If the law didn’t catch Sherman soon, the townspeople were prepared to deliver their own brand of justice, no matter the outcome.

2005. Orland, Maine. On the morning of July 15, 2005, 46-year-old Brian Allen was found shot to death in a bed at a home where he had been staying in Orland—a small blueberry town on the coast of Maine, where he worked. His death was ruled a homicide. Brian’s murder received little media coverage and quietly slipped onto Maine’s list of unsolved homicides. Now, two decades later, Brian’s sister Trista is breaking her silence. For the first time, she shares memories of her brother, why she had to step away from the fight for justice, and the deep determination that’s pushing her to seek out the truth—no matter the cost.

2000 - Seabrook, New Hampshire. In the early morning hours of July 5, 2000, while working the Fourth of July graveyard shift as a security guard at Venture Corp in Seabrook, New Hampshire, Curtis Pishon vanished without a trace. Just after midnight, his car had mysteriously gone up in flames. Though the fire was later ruled arson, no one knows who set it—or why. That same night, Curtis disappeared. Both the Pishon family and investigators suspect foul play, and despite naming a person of interest, Curtis Pishon’s disappearance remains a mystery 25 years later.  This episode is dedicated to the memory of Curtis’s father, Nicholas E. Pishon, who passed away since our original interview was recorded.

1976 - Lewiston, Maine. On a cold November morning in 1976, 27-year-old Dorothy Milliken—Dotty to those who loved her—was found bludgeoned to death outside Beal’s Laundromat in Lewiston, ME.

1988 - Cranston, Rhode Island. Around 11 p.m. on July 19, 1988, a Cranston police officer came across an abandoned car in the breakdown lane of Route 10. The vehicle belonged to the mother of 18-year-old Lauren Morris, a recent graduate of Bristol High, who had been reported missing after borrowing it to run errands. Blood found inside the car suggested something was terribly wrong. Just beyond the guardrail, a short distance down the embankment, the officer discovered Lauren’s body floating in Spectacle Pond, a tire wrapped around her torso. Investigators pursued numerous leads, but none led to a definitive suspect. Despite early momentum, the investigation eventually went cold, leaving behind a trail of questions—and a family still searching for justice. If you have any information about the murder of Lauren Morris from 1988, please call Detective Robert Santagata of the Cranston Police Department at (401) 477-5169 or submit a tip to the Rhode Island AG’s Office Cold Case Unit at (401) 468-2233.

1980 - Methuen, Massachusetts. With Christmas fast approaching, 30-year-old William “Bill” Durney was picking up extra shifts at his job delivering gas.

1986 - Rochester, New Hampshire. In October 1986, Charles Martin Vosseler abducted his two sons, Billy and CJ, leaving their mother, Ruth, desperate to follow their trail—all while picking up the pieces of a life she now realized had been built on lies. Charlie had taken everything: her possessions, her savings, and now, her sons. But he underestimated Ruth. He’d chosen an indefatigable adversary—one who would stop at nothing to bring her children home. Decades later, Ruth is still fighting. Still hoping. Still believing that somewhere, her boys are out there—having lived full lives, unaware of who they truly are and everything their father stole from them.

1980 - Newport, Rhode Island. On March 21, 1980, as wind and rain swept through Middletown, Rhode Island, 19-year-old Diane Drake got ready for work. But she never made it there. The next morning, her nude body washed up on Easton’s Beach. Witnesses later reported seeing Diane the night she disappeared, walking—and even hitchhiking—along the three-mile route to work despite the harsh weather. But Diane had always warned her younger sister, Jean, never to hitchhike. Would she have ignored her own advice? Forty-five years later, Jean is still searching for answers.

Melissa was found brutally murdered on the railroad tracks in Lawrence, MA.  In December 2023, the trial began.

1988 - Lawrence, Massachusetts.  On the afternoon of September, 12, 1988, a rail yard worker for B&M Railroad in Lawrence, MA made a horrifying discovery on the tracks: the body of 11-year-old Melissa Ann Tremblay who was missing from Salem, NH. Investigators quickly realized this was no train accident—that something more sinister happened to the young girl—and her killer tried to cover up his crime by staging the gruesome scene.  For decades the case was cold… until April of 2022, when a former corrections officer was arrested at his home in Alabama.

2000 - North Providence, Rhode Island. In the early hours of January 19, 2000, somebody was in the apartment of 32-year-old Kimberly Sue Morse, waiting in the dark for her to return home from work—somebody who knew she worked late nights. The assailant brutally murdered Kim in her own kitchen. Her body wasn't discovered until 15 hours later when firefighters responded to a fire at the apartment, unaware of the horror waiting inside. But as the mystery unravels, the potential suspect list continues to grow, and one thing remains clear to police: Kimberly Morse likely knew the man who killed her. Kimberly Morse was the life of the party. She loved to entertain and make people laugh and smile, and she had a wide circle of friends and family who adored her. A true extrovert, Kim could make friends with just about anyone. This makes it so much harder to accept what happened to her. Kim had so many people who loved her. People who are still waiting for the day the man who stole Kim's life is in handcuffs. Four of them can be heard in this episode. 2025 marks 25 years unsolved. If you have any information about the murder of Kimberly Morse, please contact the North Providence Police Department at (401) 231-4533.

okay the prosecution did do a terrible job. but how could could every member of this jury be so unanimous in their laziness and cruelty? they did not deliberate that long for it being a "difficult" case.

while listening, when I heard "plea deal to take life imprisonment off the table" I braced myself for a lack of justice and the demoralizing feeling that brings. but I am happy at how this case ultimately resolved. I agree this guy had to have been involved in many more crimes than uncovered. he sure got away with a lot.

Ive listened to this story on the NC true crime podcast. The horomones he was taking os enough to send him over the edge. Why didnt the Doctors check on this. Women have fluctuations all the time and we know how this causes chemical imbalance and hot flashes. He could have been in psychosis.

James had been reading the Old Testament before he attacked his family; did he look for a way to overcome a crisis of faith that night, possibly by way of making a sacrifice? Or was he wondering whether God intended to test his faith, much like he had with Abraham, hoping to receive some kind of sign, akin to an epiphany or maybe some kind of divine intervention, which never came?
