Hi, Cold Case listeners. I'm Marissa Pinson. And before we get into this week's episode, I just wanted to remind you that episodes of Cold Case Files, as well as the A&E Classic Podcasts, I Survived, American Justice, and City Confidential, are all available ad-free on the new A&E Crime and Investigation Channel on Apple Podcasts and Apple Plus for just $4.99 a month or $3999 a year.

And now on to the show.

This program contains subject matter that may be disturbing to some listeners.

Listener discretion is advised.

Grandma and grandpa loved each other very much.

The hard part is.

One of them had to see the other one day. I said,

I want to solve the murder of Ed and Minnie Marin. We didn't have any more witnesses. This case is dead.

I've always wanted Grandma and Grandpa to be remembered as that happy little couple taking care of each other,

rather than just victims of homicide.

When an investigation runs out of Leeds,

it becomes a cold case.

Years pass and hope fades,

but for the families of the victims,

these cases are never cold.

Truth takes time.

Thank you. never cold. Truth takes time.

It's December 19, 1985 in Shahalis, Washington. It's nearly Christmas, and the people of this close-knit logging community watch as the 69 Chrysler of Ed and Minnie Moran drives through the center of town.

The people of Morin don't know that their neighbors will soon be dead.

Mike Hadler and Denise Snell are Ed and Minnie's grandchildren.

I didn't get the call until 8.30 at night. I had came home from working out in the wet, cold,

snow, and ice, and had dinner and was headed off to bed when my dad called and said, you need to come down to grandma and grandpa's.
