Cold and Missing

Cold and Missing

Host: Ali McLaughlin & Eli Sulkowski

Cold and Missing focuses exclusively on cold cases and unsolved missing person cases. Every week Ali and Eli - a husband and wife duo- will bring you either a Cold Case or a unresolved missing person. Ethically, we are not interested in talking about solved cases and reliving another families trauma. We are interested in being a small part of the solution and the hope of the podcast is to keep unsolved cases in peoples mind and generate tips. Cold and Missing is for fans of true crime who appreciate deep research into cases.
