Hey listeners, this is Mike Morford, the creator of the murder of my family, and I want to invite you to listen to a brand new podcast from this network that I'll be hosting. It's called Killer Communications.

In each episode of Killer Communications, I'll walk you through true crime cases that involve some element of contact from the potential perp, whether it's a taunting email sent to police, a mysterious text

to a victim or their family, or a threatening letter in the mailbox of a newspaper.

I'll unwrap these cases and how these sinister communications played a role in the case.

You'd probably think the bad guys in these cases want to keep their distance and not provide

any extra clues that may lead to them being identified,

but you'd be surprised just how often happens. I'm about to play you a portion of episode one of

killer communications, the case of Dale Williams, who vanished from Nucla, Colorado in 1999,

after receiving a mysterious phone call. For decades, his case went unsolved before an arrest was finally made recently.

After listening to this preview, go over and listen to the complete Dale Williams episode

to see how the case kicked off and how it was finally solved. It's available now wherever

you listen to podcast. New episodes of killer communications publish every other Saturday,

so be sure to find, listen, and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app or player,

so you don't miss an episode.

Thanks for listening.

The caller at Dale's shop had indicated they had broken down in the town of Bedrock about 26 miles from Nucla.

On his way to Bedrock, Dale stopped at a gas station owned by his neighbor and good friend, Tammy Lawrence,

where he gassed up and let her know that he was on his way to help a stranded person,

and that he wouldn't be able to fix her car's windshield.

In hindsight, Tammy felt this was odd, and Dale would normally just

call her on the phone about something so small. Tammy got the feeling Dale was uneasy about something,
