Cold is a narrative podcast series focused on missing persons cases. Investigative journalist and host Dave Cawley takes on a single story with each season. Season 1: Susan Powell Case Files, the Cold journey begins with Dave’s investigation into the unsolved disappearance of Susan Powell… and the man with the most to gain from her death. Season 2: Justice for Joyce Yost delves into the details of a murder-for-hire plot and attempts to find justice for Joyce – a woman who bravely reported her kidnapping and rape only to vanish without a trace. Season 3: The Search for Sheree follows two suspects in the 1985 disappearance of Sheree Warren while examining the dangerous escalation of domestic abuse and sexual violence. The Cold team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren? Created and Produced by KSL Podcasts

The waiting game begins as former East Layton police officer Tom Jackson faces new criminal charges over allegations of child sex abuse against his daughters during the 1980s. A rift emerges among Jackson’s family, with some blood relatives refusing to believe he could be capable of such terrible acts. Jackson’s comments to COLD also draw attention to Nancy Perry Baird’s ex-boyfriend, John Sparks, and his brother, Davis County Sheriff Kelly Sparks. COLD host Dave Cawley confronts Sheriff Sparks about the appearance of a possible conflict of interest. And a one-time friend of Nancy Baird’s emerges as a possible witness to her presumed abduction. Could Guy Gailey have seen Nancy in her final moments?

The Nancy Baird case file, kept away from prying eyes for decades, is at last released to COLD in 2023. Contained within are surprise revelations about the last people known to have seen Nancy alive. But when COLD host Dave Cawley’s investigation into the Nancy Baird case reached the family of former East Layton police officer Tom Jackson, the unexpected happened. Some of Jackson’s victims asked themselves the question: could Tom have been the person to abduct Nancy Baird? Did Tom Jackson hide behind the convenient alternative of Ted Bundy for five decades? Meanwhile, a former deputy with an interest in cold cases approaches the sheriff, only to discover the sheriff has his own personal connection to the case.

Blamed on Bundy | The Book of Regrets | 3
Days before his execution, serial killer Ted Bundy denied knowing anything about the disappearance of Nancy Baird. That didn’t stop police and the press from declaring Bundy the killer. That folklore loomed large for Nancy’s son, Brant. Meanwhile, one of the police officers who investigated Nancy’s case wandered a proverbial wilderness following his arrest for child sex crimes. In Idaho, Tom Jackson found a new family, among a community of people who knew nothing of his past. Decades later, a surprise discovery a few miles from where Nancy Baird vanished cast fresh doubt on the common belief Ted Bundy did it.
