Hi, it's me, Sruti, host of Red Handed, and I wanted to tell you about the hip podcast

Cold. This season, the host Dave Cooley, investigates the disappearance of Shari Warren, a young

found a new job, and even a new boyfriend. Her life was turning around, and she was happy

said goodbye to her co-workers, left the office, and was never heard from again. All eyes
