Cold and Missing: Lori Bolger

Lori Bolger had already endured more loss than most 16 year olds. . In the summer of 1976, just one week after burying her father, Lori disappeared from Elgin, Illinois, after attending a driver’s education class at her high school. What began as an ordinary day, with plans to meet friends and go swimming, ended with Lori being found brutally beaten to death in an isolated field in South Elgin. Nearly five decades later, Lori’s case remains unsolved, leaving behind unanswered questions, a family forever changed, and a young girl who should have had so much more time in the sun.

Cold and Missing: Kelly Dove

In the early morning hours of June 18, 1982, 20-year-old Kelly Dove vanished while working the overnight shift at a gas station in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Just minutes before police arrived, Kelly made a series of calls reporting obscene phone calls and a suspicious man outside the store driving a silver Ford. When officers arrived- just minutes after Kelly’s 911 calls- the gas station was eerily untouched. Money left behind, her purse still behind the counter, and no signs of a struggle, but Kelly was gone. What followed was a decades-long search marked by missed leads, unanswered questions, and growing belief that Kelly was abducted and murdered. In this episode of Cold and Missing, we walk through Kelly’s final moments, the troubling similarities to other cases from the same summer, and the renewed investigation that may finally bring answers to what happened to Kelly Dove.

Cold and Missing: Arthur Williams, Jr

Three-year-old Arthur Williams, Jr was a bright, joyful little boy who spent his days playing alongside his big sister in their Las Vegas neighborhood.

Arthur passed away the next morning, and despite sketches, witnesses, and the fear that gripped the community, the man responsible has never been identified.

Cold and Missing: Mont Highley IV

In November 2003, 33-year-old Mont Highley IV returned home to Alabama for Thanksgiving. He was looking forward to some of his favorite things: good food, time with family, and time spent outdoors. Mont had planned a simple weekend of hunting with his dad after Thanksgiving. But after he drove out to the family’s hunting land on Friday night, Mont vanished. His truck was found abandoned, his belongings left behind, and the farm showed unsettling signs that something was wrong. Weeks later, Mont’s body was discovered in an unused grain silo just miles from where he disappeared. Nearly 22 years later, his murder remains unsolved. In this episode of Cold and Missing, Ali and Eli walk through Mont’s final known steps and the unanswered questions his family still lives with, in hopes that someone, somewhere, knows the truth.*** If you know anything about the murder of Mont Highley IV in November of 2003 - please call the Alabama SBI Montgomery office at 1-800-392-8011 or email SBI.investigations@alea.gov ***Sources:The Montgomery Advertiser, The Birmingham News, WBMA ABC News 33/40, and Alabama Cold Case Advocacy Wanna Connect?Follow us on instagram @Cold_and_Missing to keep up with active cases and see pictures discussed in the episodeHave a case you want us to cover?
