COLD

by KSL Podcasts

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? Season 4: Blamed on Bundy - The Disappearance of Nancy Baird Brant Baird can barely remember his mom, Nancy Perry Baird. She vanished in 1975, when Brant was just 4. For nearly 50 years, Brant lived under the belief serial killer Ted Bundy abducted and murdered Nancy. That changed when COLD picked up Nancy’s case. Now, the daughters of a former cop are confronting a dark shadow from their past. And Brant is left to ask, “if Ted Bundy didn’t kill Nancy Baird, then who?”    Created and Produced by KSL Podcasts

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It is not necessarily a happy ending. But it is a podcast full of love, resilience and strength. It is a truth in a world full of questions. Artfully told, honest emotions and thoughtful in every aspect. I appreciated this story and how it was delivered.

AmyH318 · Jul 2026

Absolutely beautiful podcast. I am so moved. I will never forget this story. Amazing people. Amazing storytelling. Restored my faith in humanity in a time when the world feels so cold. Even though the story centers around a tragedy- the love, compassion and humanity here is just so humbling. There is still so much kindness in the world. Words can’t even. 🥲

clarizona · May 2026

Journalist / podcast hosts like Dave Cawley are becoming increasingly rare. Not only is his voice and story telling as good as it gets, he is very careful about what is included in the stories and doesn’t try and lead the audience to a conclusion with a sensational, unverified claim. Cold is highly professionally produced and I am always thrilled to find a podcast that just tells the story. No annoying unnecessary chatter between hosts that isn’t related to the story whatsoever. This is how you do a true crime podcast folks. As good as it gets. If they ever reboot Unsolved Mysteries again Dave would make an amazing host! 😄

MsRissObsessedwithTrueCrime · May 2026

What really sets this podcast apart is its humanity. There’s so much empathy woven into every narrative. It doesn’t just tell stories, it honors them. Be warned though, once you start, it’s very hard to stop. This is the kind of podcast that turns “just one episode” into three hours later, sitting in your car in the driveway because you need to hear how it ends. Absolutely phenomenal. A true gem.
