Crimes and Consequences

A BIG THANK YOU TO JESS M. WHO SUGGESTED THIS EPISODE!
On October 2, 2018, Cheryl Coker dropped off her teenage daughter, Mikayla to school and supposedly went home, or at least that's what her cell phone data said. She didn't arrive to work later that morning and when Mikayla got home from school, there was no sign of Cheryl. When Cheryl's vehicle was discovered at a local Kroger grocery store later that day with Cheryl's purse and phone inside, her family knew something was wrong. CCTV footage shows a man dropping off Cheryl's car but it never caught his face. Cheryl's remains were found on April 25, 2000, and her killer is still at large. If you have information regarding her case, please contact the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (CBI) at 800-282-3782 or you can submit a tip online on their website.

EP173: No Father of the Year

In the early morning hours of March 19, 1985, Linda Bailey Brown lost her life. When police arrived at the home, her husband, David Arnold Brown answered the door and told them his wife’s body was in their bedroom and that he thought she had been shot. Also living in the home was Linda’s 17-year-old younger sister, Patti, David’s 14-year-old daughter, Cinnamon, from a previous marriage, and David and Linda’s baby daughter, Crystal. However, when the police tried to find Cinnamon they didn’t find her until they looked outside in one of the dog houses in the backyard. Cinnamon was lying in a pool of her own vomit and was clutching a note that said “Dear God, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt her.” However, as with most of our stories, things are not always as they seem. Listen to this week’s episode to hear more about the Brown family and what actually happened to Linda Bailey Brown.
