Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan

A headless, handless, nude body with an "X" carved into his chest is found in rural New York state on March 20, 1970. As the body has no head, no hands, no identification or clothing, the case goes cold quickly and the body is laid to rest as Allegany County John Doe 1970. No "Missing Person" report was filed, ever. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a look at an almost impossible to solve case, that got cracked wide open 56 years later changing the name from John Doe, to Clyde Coppage, age 35, when he was murdered in 1970. His killer has never been caught and the case remains "Active".

2007 Cold Case: Body Parts Found Burning, Head/Hands/Feet Missing! Solved 2026! Death of Nicole Alston

It was a hot summer day on July 24, 1996, when 7-year-old Morgan Violi went outside to play with a friend at the Shive Lane apartment complex where she lived with her mom and two sisters in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A man driving an older-model, maroon Chevrolet van pulled up alongside the girls, jumped out and tried to grab the girl Morgan was playing with but was unsuccessful, so, he snatched Morgan, threw her into the van and sped away. The van was stolen out of Dayton, Ohio, and was recovered two days later in Franklin, Tennessee, 30 miles south of Nashville. The van was scrubbed clean. The search for Morgan lasted until October 26, 1996, when her skeletal remains were found in the woods off I-65 in White House, Tennessee, 30 miles north of Nashville. A suspect was never located, and the case went cold for nearly 30 years. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the cold case kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Morgan Violi and the forensic evidence that solved her case and led to a confession by the killer.

1996 Cold Case: Kidnap/Murder of 7-year-old, SOLVED!

David Anthony Burke, known as the singer D4vd, writes songs with bloody imagery and titles like, "Romantic Homicide."
 
His career was on the rise. But, as his first-ever "World Tour" began, the body of a missing child from Lake Elsinore, California, was found in the front trunk of Burke's Tesla. The decomposing remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez were found in two bags stashed in the vehicle.
 
A Los Angeles grand jury has been looking into the death of Celeste since November, and Burke's parents and brother have been fighting in court to avoid having to testify.
 
In the Habeas Corpus petition, for the first time, David Anthony Burke is named as the target of the investigation into the death of Celeste.
