Hey there, listeners. We're taking a break for the holidays, but our Monday releases will continue as scheduled. We'll be back with more true horror on January 8th.

I wanted to share an episode with you in the meantime, one of our favorites. Enjoy. And hey, stay safe out there.

Hello and welcome back to In Cold Pursuit, a production of the Disturbed Team at Killer Podcasts.

I'm your host, Doug Bailey.

Here we tell the stories of those whose death left silence in their place,

victims of crimes that were for years without answers, justice or closure.

In this show, we revisit the crimes that time has tried to

bury, whose lives were cut short and whose killers once walked free. Listener discretion is

advised. It's the fall of 1989.

George H.W. is in office.

The Berlin Wall is about to fall.

The autumn of nations is in full swing around the eastern block of Europe.

The world is on the cusp of change.

But in Danby, Vermont, you'd have no idea. The seasons turn the leaves in their predictable hues. Life is slow, and people like it that way. George and Catherine

Peacock are as much a part of that rhythm as the mountains that surround their town.

George, 76, is a World War II veteran.

Quiet, hardworking, the kind of man who never complains and never raises his voice.

Catherine, 73, is described as warm, nurturing, a woman who always brought a dish to share and made time for her

neighbors. Together they represent an era that feels like it's fading. They live in a modest white

house on a quiet street. No frills. just lived in comfort.

Bookshelves full of paperbacks, lace curtains, and photos of family lining the walls.

Neighbors saw them as steady and kind, not flashy, not gossipy, just solid people built from a different time.
