The Cold Case Collective

It was February 9th, 2004. A black Saturn sits nose-first in a snowbank on a dark stretch of Route 112 in northern New Hampshire. A school bus driver stops to help the young woman beside it. She tells him not to call the police. Minutes later, an officer arrives. The car is locked. The road is empty. And Maura Murray is gone.

The death of Jeanette DePalma had all the aspects of the macabre. Her devout Italian parents reported her missing just 4 days after her 16th birthday on August 7th, 1972. On September 14th, 1972, her body was discovered after a dog brought her decomposed arm back to the apartment building it lived in. She was found high above a decommissioned quarry known as “The Devil’s Teeth” and comments were made that the fallen trees surrounding her looked like they had been placed to look like a coffin, which became talk of her being sacrificed on an altar. Talk of witchcraft and Satanism took off like wildfire. Was Jeanette DePalma’s murder a Satanic ritual, or just plain old evil?

On a hot August afternoon in 1992, a white 1985 Pontiac T1000 overheated. The driver, 21-year-old Tammy Zywicki, pulled over on the side of Interstate 80 where a witness stated she was seen talking to a tall man with bushy dark hair. She would not be seen again until 9 days later, when her body was discovered tightly  wrapped in a red blanket in Missouri. Who was this bushy-haired man, and did he abduct and kill Tammy? The FBI is asking for new information on a fresh lead.

Symsonia, Kentucky. Graves County. Two-lane roads, soybean fields, and a stretch of flooded timber and swamp that people around here call Kaler Bottoms. If you grew up in this county, you grew up in those woods.
Early on the morning of March the twenty-eighth, 2018, a twenty-five-year-old mother of two walked out of Kaler Bottoms alongside her boyfriend's father. He says that at the edge of the highway, they parted. He went north. She went south. Nobody has seen Samantha Sperry since. Eight years later, there is no body. No arrest. No charge. And the sheriff of Graves County says the story he's been told simply does not make sense.
