0:00.0	January 14, 1983. Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
0:07.0	62-year-old Terry McClure attends the wedding of her son Tim, but after leaving, she does
0:14.5	not return home. Three days later, Terry has found shot to death in sight her parked car.
0:22.0	The investigation soon zeroes in on Tim McClure as the prime suspect because of some strange
0:26.9	inconsistencies in his story. After nine years, Tim is finally charged with his mother's
0:32.9	murder, but the end result only opens up more unanswered questions. After that, the trail
0:40.4	went cold.
0:56.9	Hello everyone and welcome to the latest episode of the trail went cold. I'm your host

2:19.8	Mysteries. Tim personally contacted the Unsolved Mysteries tell a center to request that
