Summary

August 16, 1983. Idaho Springs, Colorado. 14-year old Beth Miller leaves her home to go jogging, but never returns. The investigation uncovers some promising leads, including eyewitness accounts of a man in a red pick-up truck who was seen flirting with Beth in the days prior to her disappearance. Ten years later, the former girlfriend of a deceased suspect leads the authorities towards an alleged burial location for Beth’s body, but nothing is found. February 9, 1989. Gainesville, Florida. 20-year old university student Tiffany Sessions leaves her condo to go for a power walk, but does not return. 24 years later, after a convicted murderer named Paul Rowles dies in prison, investigators uncover evidence in his possessions which seems to implicate him in Tiffany’s disappearance, but her remains cannot be found. August 5, 1989. Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. 17-year old Tracy Kroh leaves her house to visit her sister, who turns out not to be home. When Tracy does not return, her abandoned car is eventually discovered in a nearby town square, but Tracy is nowhere to be found. Four years later, some of Tracy’s possessions are found next to a remote creek, but she continues to remain a missing person. While these three cases do not seem to have any connection to each other, they would unexpectedly be linked together in 1994 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a bizarre anonymous tip which alleged that all three victims were still alive. For the first time, “The Trail Went Cold” is going to tackle three unsolved missing persons cases in the same episode and explore the likelihood of them being connected.

Arlington, Virginia.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children receives an anonymous call on their

tip line from a man who has information on three missing females.

Fourteen-year-old Beth Miller, 20-year-old Tiffany Sessions, and 17-year-old Tracy Crow.

Even though all three women disappeared from different states at different times,

0:26.2

the caller claims that he has seen them altogether and that they are being held against their

0:30.1

will in a prostitution ring in Texas. An extensive investigation

0:34.5

uncovers no evidence that this story is true, but even though all three cases have

0:39.3

had potential suspects, none of the three missing women have ever been found. After that, the trail went cold. Oh, uh, and uh, and uh, and uh, and uh, and uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and uh, uh, yeah. Oh, uh, yeah. Oh, uh, uh, uh, Hello everyone and welcome to the latest episode of the Trail Went Cold.

1:26.2

I'm your host Robin Warder and today I will be doing something a little different

1:30.8

by covering not one, not two, but three missing persons cases.

1:36.0

The disappearances of Beth Miller, Tiffany Sessions, and Tracy Crow.

1:41.1

Now these are three young women who went missing at different times in three different states, so you might be wondering how they're connected.

1:48.0

Well in 1994, the authorities received an anonymous tip that all three women were still alive and being held captive in a prostitution ring together.

1:57.0

It's very likely this tip was nothing more than a hoax, but if it was, it may be the most bizarre false tip I've ever seen in a missing

2:05.3

person's investigation.

2:07.4

This whole episode was set in motion when I recently received a request from a listener

2:11.2

named Duncan, who suggested I cover the disappearance of Tracy Crow on the podcast.

2:16.0

I soon decided that this anonymous tip angle would be a good opportunity to not only feature Tracy's case

but cover the disappearances of Tiffany Sessions and Beth Miller as well.
