"December 23, 1981. Burke County, North Carolina. After leaving an office Christmas party, 19-year old Rhonda Hinson begins her drive home, but her car is soon discovered in a ditch on Mineral Springs Mountain Road about a half-mile from her residence. Rhonda’s body is lying outside the vehicle and it turns out she was fatally shot by someone who fired a bullet which passed through the car’s trunk and the driver’s seat before it penetrated her heart. An eyewitness reports having seen an unidentified man near the vehicle’s driver’s side door shortly before Rhonda’s body was discovered, but he cannot be identified. Years later, new information surfaces to suggest that Rhonda’s death may have been caused by someone from her personal life, but the crime is never solved. For our next series of episodes on “The Path Went Chilly”, Jules and Robin discuss the unsolved murder of Rhonda Hinson. For more information about the case, we highly recommend you check out Larry Griffin’s extensive 89-part series of articles in The Wilkes Record:

We originally covered Rhonda Hinson’s murder way back on Episode#4 of “The Trail Went Cold”, but we have since learned a lot of new information about the crime which has compelled us to look at everything in a different light. On this month’s exclusive bonus episode, we present our very first edition of “The Trail Revisited” in which we will perform an all-new fresh examination into this case"

November 21, 1979. Craig, Colorado. After spending the evening at a dance, 15-year old Marie Blee heads to a party at a mobile home park, but never returns home. Two days later, Marie’s parents receive an anonymous phone call demanding a $5,000 ransom for her return. The caller is soon revealed to be 18-year old Monty Doolin, who drove Marie to the party, but he denies any involvement in her disappearance. Over the next few decades, investigators would receive contradictory accounts from several eyewitnesses about what might have happened to Marie on the night she went missing. They eventually name three persons of interest, but Marie is never found. This week’s episode of “The Path Went Chilly” chronicles a very frustrating cold case about a missing teenage girl in which the full truth has yet to be uncovered.

June 12, 1993. Santa Clara, California. 21-year old U.S. Army Private Justin Burgwinkel leaves his girlfriend’s apartment and never returns. One week earlier, Justin had gone AWOL from Fort Lewis, the post where he was stationed in Washington state, and kept hinting to his girlfriend that he was working on some sort of secret mission. Three months later, Justin’s abandoned car is found at a motel in Monterey with his military dog tags and most of his personal items inside. While the Army denies that Justin was ever involved in any secret operations, no trace of him is ever found. Did Justin Burgwinkel go missing because he became involved in something sinister? Or did he suffer some sort of mental breakdown and lose his grip on reality? On this week’s episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore the unsolved disappearance of a soldier who has not been seen in three decades.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Clinton Police Department at (978) 365-4111.

November 27, 1985. St. Augustine, Florida. While attending a neighbourhood social gathering, 12-year old Martha Jean Lambert tells her mother that she will be taking a brief trip back to their mobile home, but Martha never returns and is eventually reported missing. Suspicion starts to fall upon on Martha’s 14-year old brother, David Lambert, after he gives conflicting stories about the last time he saw her. Over the course of the next 24 years, David makes two separate confessions about killing Martha and disposing of her body. Investigators find David’s second confession to be believable enough that they decide to close the case, but almost immediately after this news is made public, David recants his story. Was Martha’s brother actually responsible for her disappearance, or did something else happen to her? This week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold” covers a very controversial and divisive missing persons case which has yet to find a conclusive resolution.
