S2, Episode 07: The Breaks - Part 1
Since the start of this season of Cold Case: Frozen Tundra, many listeners, community members, and those close to the investigation have provided new and exciting information on the case. In this episode, we cover some of those tips and potential new leads. Disappointingly - though, in another very real sense, excitingly - investigators close to the case asked Cold Case: Frozen Tundra, just before the show aired, to help keep a couple of the most interesting leads private…at least for a few weeks. We discuss what this means for the investigation moving forward. After this episode, Cold Case: Frozen Tundra will take a brief, 3-4 week break as we work with investigators to follow up on some exciting new possibilities in the case. We will soon return to discuss those in more detail!Badger State BrewingBadger State Brewing makes the beers that fuel the Cold Case: Frozen Tundra podcast.

S2, Episode 06: One Among Many
In the past weeks, we’ve identified three persons of interest in the investigation into the disappearance of Laurie Depies: Larry DeWayne Hall, David Frank Spanbauer, and “Tim.” Each of these men has a unique link to Laurie. Each could ultimately be guilty of the crime. In this week’s episode, we recap the case against each man, reviewing details we’ve already heard - and revealing some that we haven’t - as we consider who could be responsible for abducting Laurie.

S2, Episode 05: Tim
After taking a look at two notorious criminals with links to Laurie Depies - Larry DeWayne Hall and David Frank Spanbauer - we dig into the story of yet another suspect; one who is unlike the others as his criminal history is not nearly as extensive. Yet, in many ways, the story of “Tim” as a suspect in Laurie’s disappearance is as compelling - if not more so - than either that of Larry Hall or David Spanbauer.

S2, Episode 04: David
To many members of the public, the mystery of Laurie Depies’ disappearance was resolved in 2010 when convicted kidnapper and suspected serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall admitted to abducting and murdering Laurie. But, for investigators seeking truth in the case, Hall’s confession simply wasn’t enough. He would not - or perhaps could not - provide details that would lead to evidence corroborating his account, a critical step for detectives.Investigators continued to work the case in search of answers, looking into other suspects who - in many respects - were just as likely to have committed the crime. One of those suspects is David Frank Spanbauer. Badger State BrewingBadger State Brewing makes the beers that fuel the Cold Case: Frozen Tundra podcast.
