Hey cold case fans, A&E has another true crime podcast that I think you'd really like to hear.

in this feed. If you like what you hear, go subscribe to the podcast now, wherever you listen to

podcasts weekly. This episode contains descriptions of sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.

survival. I'm Caitlin Van Maul. With my father's day and we've gotten up, we were planning to spend

the day together actually really going to go out and visit his dad. And he said he was going to go

buy the Sunday morning paper. So we left the house and about half an hour after he left the house,

the phone rang. And after the phone, there was a woman on the phone and she said, can I speak to Ron?
