100,000 photographs, a survivor, and a monster hiding in plain sight.  In September of 2022 neighbors in the 300 block of Old Orchard Avenue in Excelsior Springs awoke to a nightmare.  A young woman was beating on their doors begging for help, telling neighbors that her friends didn’t make it and “he” was coming to kill her.   As law enforcement began their investigation, they were led to 301 Orchard Avenue, the home of 39-year-old Timothy Haslett Junior.  And what they found behind the doors of that home led many to believe there was a serial killer on the loose in Kansas City.   If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, resources are available in the US at https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en or by calling 1-888-373-7888.

Due to some unexpected circumstances, I was unable to get an episode out this week. However, our friends, Lori and Jen at Dealing Justice have just dropped a new season and they were gracious enough to share their first episode from Season 3 with us! Fourteen-year-old Anthony Lamar Peterson went missing during the summer of 2005 while visiting family in Palatka, Florida.  Days later, his unrecognizable body was found floating in Deep Creek, just miles from where he was last seen. In a bizarre twist, Anthony's remains would go unidentified for months, leaving his mother to search the small rural town in vain for her only son. Want more Dealing Justice?

Vacuum marks, a brightly colored blanket, and Christmas tinsel.  In November of 2007,  68-year-old, Sara Dixon was found shot to death inside her home in Burlington, North Carolina.  From the moment investigators arrived at the home on McCray Road it appeared that the scene had been staged to look like a robbery gone wrong. While it appeared nothing of value had been taken, there were several clues left behind; Christmas tinsel stuck to the door, an empty picture hanger, and a footprint in the carpet.  A year after Sara’s murder a man walked into the police station and gave investigators a small piece of information that unraveled the entire case.  Sponsors:  OneSkin Age healthy with OneSkin.

A bench trial, a civil suit, and two defenses.   On June 20th, 2018 Heather Barron called 911 to report that her 10-year-old was unresponsive and not breathing.  Heather Barron and her boyfriend Kareem Leiva were both charged with murder.  Many felt Los Ángeles Department of Children and Family Services also had responsibility for the multiple failures that led to Anthony’s death. As Anthony’s case made it through the courts another child, 4-year-old Noah Cuatro, died while his family was under the supervision of Los Ángeles DCFS.

A letter, repeated calls to DCFS, and gang ties. On June 20th, 2018 Heather Barron called 911 to report that her 10-year-old was unresponsive and not breathing.  She gave multiple accounts of what happened that day and how her son had been injured but not one of her stories explained the severity of Anthony's injuries. As investigators took a closer look it was an all too familiar story.  Anthony's case was strikingly similar to the murder of Gabriel Fernandez in 2013.  Some of the same child welfare officials who failed to take action in Gabriel's case, also failed Anthony, despite years of abuse allegations of Anthony and his siblings at the hands of their mother and her boyfriend, Kareem Leiva.   Least of These on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/leastofthesepodcast/ Least of These Discussion Group: https://m.facebook.com/groups/288046119723080/?ref=pages_profile_groups_tab&paipv=1 Least of These on Instagram: www.instagram.com/least_ofthese/ Support the show and get your episodes ad free at: https://www.patreon.com/leastofthesepodcast

A mental health crisis, a death, and a coverup. On January 12th, 2023 Walker County Deputies were called to the home of 33-year-old Anthony “Tony” Mitchell for a welfare check. He was arrested and booked in the county jail. Two weeks later, on January 26th, 2023, he was taken to Baptist Hospital and later pronounced deceased. The doctor who treated him said he died from hypothermia.  Sheriff Nick Smith and Public Information Officer TJ Armstrong claimed Tony was alert and conscious when he left the jail. However leaked video surveillance from inside the jail told a different story.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life. Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?  Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 10 episodes of COLD: The Search for Sheree ad-free on Amazon Music.
