discretion is advised. I'm your host, Ali McLaughlin

00:00:26.269 --> 00:00:29.010
-Sulkowski. And I'm your co -host, Eli Sulkowski.

00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:31.289
And this is Cold and Missing, where we cover

00:00:31.289 --> 00:00:35.149
cold cases and missing person cases. Hello, everyone,

00:00:35.170 --> 00:00:37.429
and welcome back to Cold and Missing. I'm your

00:00:37.429 --> 00:00:39.750
host, Ali, and it will just be me coming to

00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:42.170
you this week. You might remember we mentioned

00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:45.409
it a few weeks ago, but Eli is involved in a

00:00:45.409 --> 00:00:48.250
theater production, so his nights are quickly

00:00:48.250 --> 00:00:50.649
filling up with rehearsals as they get closer

00:00:50.649 --> 00:00:54.789
and closer to opening. So very excited about

00:00:54.789 --> 00:00:58.289
that opportunity for him, but I do miss him here.

00:00:58.969 --> 00:01:03.130
As a co -host in the podcast, I miss him just

00:01:03.130 --> 00:01:05.629
around the house. So he is missed. He is deeply

00:01:05.629 --> 00:01:08.890
missed. But I wanted to get on here and bring

00:01:08.890 --> 00:01:12.629
you this week's episode. We are on a cold case

00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:17.370
this week, and this is episode 158. So I think

00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:20.769
we should just go ahead and get into it. And

00:01:20.769 --> 00:01:22.510
just as a bit of a content warning at the top,

00:01:22.510 --> 00:01:25.049
while this case does not center around a young

00:01:25.049 --> 00:01:27.650
person specifically, there are young people involved.

00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:31.629
Today, we are talking about the cold case of

00:01:31.629 --> 00:01:34.670
Laneshia Crowder, and this takes place in August

00:01:34.670 --> 00:01:40.209
of 2000 in Carrollton, Georgia. But first, a

00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:43.709
little bit about Laneshia. Laneshia Crowder was

00:01:43.709 --> 00:01:47.810
just 21 years old in the summer of 2000. To her

00:01:47.810 --> 00:01:50.030
family and friends, she went by the nickname

00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:54.370
Lane. She was a young mother, raising two small

00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:59.060
children on her own. who was seven at this time,

00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:02.780
and her two -year -old daughter Lyric. Her world

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:06.260
revolved around them. Friends and family say

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:09.580
she carried responsibilities far beyond her years.

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.699
Even though she was the youngest in her friend

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:16.439
group, she had the oldest mindset. She was steady,

00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:21.180
protective, the friend everyone leaned on. A

00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:23.680
mother figure not just to her children, but to

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.550
her friends too. Laneshia was described as the

00:02:27.550 --> 00:02:31.409
center, which is such a beautiful way to describe

00:02:31.409 --> 00:02:34.530
her, I think. She was the center of her friends,

00:02:34.830 --> 00:02:37.710
the center of her family, and the center of her

00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:42.349
children's lives. In August of 2000, she lived

00:02:42.349 --> 00:02:45.789
in a brick ranch -style home in the Castleberry

00:02:45.789 --> 00:02:49.750
Estates, a tight -knit subdivision just north

00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:53.069
of Carrollton, Georgia. It was the kind of neighborhood

00:02:53.069 --> 00:02:56.280
where everyone knew each other. Neighbors watched

00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.439
out for each other, kept an eye on everyone.

00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:01.759
And a place where you didn't expect violence.

00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:08.580
And now a timeline of events. Saturday, August

00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:13.159
12, 2000. This is the last day Laneshia is seen

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.919
alive. That evening, she leaves her mother's

00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.219
house. Her mother's name is Doris. She leaves

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:23.560
her mother's house with Kenneth and Lyric. It's

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.900
a normal night. Nothing feels unusual. When they

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:30.460
get home, Laneshia gets her kids ready for bed

00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:34.000
and tucks them in. After the kids fall asleep,

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.520
Laneshia gets on the phone and starts talking

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.699
with friends. It's reported that she talks on

00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:42.900
the phone until around midnight that Saturday

00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:46.000
night. According to reports, this is the last

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.840
time anyone will talk to her, is around midnight

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.960
Saturday night going into Sunday morning. All

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.229
day Sunday. Folks tried to reach out to Laneshia

00:03:56.229 --> 00:03:59.030
and she wasn't responding, which was out of her

00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:01.169
character. She would normally get back to you

00:04:01.169 --> 00:04:04.990
pretty quickly. Monday, August 14th, rolled around

00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:09.330
and still there was no sign of Laneshia or of

00:04:09.330 --> 00:04:14.370
her children. Laneshia‘S roommate, Grady, starts

00:04:14.370 --> 00:04:17.269
to get worried. At the time, it's reported that

00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:21.040
Grady... is her roommate, but they might have

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.740
been dating based off of comments made by police

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:27.379
and her family. Either way, Grady had been in

00:04:27.379 --> 00:04:31.579
the Bremen City Jail since August 4th on a bench

00:04:31.579 --> 00:04:34.279
warrant and hadn't been able to reach Laneshia

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.720
for the past couple of days. When he still couldn't

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.019
get through, he got in touch with a neighbor

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:44.920
and asked them to check on her. So shortly before

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.240
10 p .m., the neighbor walks over to the house

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.620
and looks in through a bedroom window. They see

00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:53.740
Laneshia on the ground. They immediately call

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:57.920
911. The fire department arrives first just a

00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.480
few minutes later. Through the window, the fire

00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.639
department also see the body of a woman. But

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.980
they also see a child nearby. And they notice

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:11.879
movement from the child. To them, the child is

00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.980
still alive. so they force entry to make sure

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:20.040
that everyone there is okay. Inside, they find

00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.879
Laneshia dead. It appears Lyric had tried to help

00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.819
at some point. Band -aids had been taken out

00:05:26.819 --> 00:05:30.500
and were scattered about the room. Police arrive

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:33.339
just minutes after the fire department to the

00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:36.420
scene, and they confirm that Laneshia Crowder

00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:41.420
is dead. She was found in her bedroom. Her son,

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:44.750
Kenneth, He's found in the bedroom next to where

00:05:44.750 --> 00:05:48.870
Laneshia was found. Kenneth is gravely injured.

00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:53.170
He was beaten so severely that he's barely clinging

00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:57.129
to life when he's found by police. He's airlifted

00:05:57.129 --> 00:05:59.689
to Children's Healthcare in Atlanta and listed

00:05:59.689 --> 00:06:03.490
in serious condition. Later reports will say

00:06:03.490 --> 00:06:06.089
that he sustained brain damage during the attack.

00:06:07.170 --> 00:06:10.069
Lyric is also inside the home, Laneshia‘s two

00:06:10.069 --> 00:06:13.500
-year -old daughter. She is physically unharmed,

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:17.259
but she's found near her mother. Investigators

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:20.540
are stunned by the scene. Police will ultimately

00:06:20.540 --> 00:06:22.959
come to the conclusion that Laneshia was likely

00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.579
killed early Sunday morning, shortly after her

00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:30.699
last phone call. Her body and children had been

00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:33.240
in the home for over 24 hours before they were

00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.000
discovered. Investigators note that there were

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.740
no signs of forced entry in the home. Ultimately,

00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.420
the investigation will reveal that nothing was

00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:47.259
stolen from the home either. The next day, Tuesday,

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.399
August 15th, it's been a day since the discovery

00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.420
of the bodies, and Laneshia‘s autopsy is performed.

00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:58.259
But instead of answers, there were more questions.

00:06:59.459 --> 00:07:02.459
The state crime lab said that they were not able

00:07:02.459 --> 00:07:07.000
to determine her exact cause of death. It is

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.819
reported that she did have head wounds, but none

00:07:09.819 --> 00:07:13.639
of them were severe enough to be fatal. It's

00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.939
also reported that she was not shot. Outside

00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:21.000
of this, police don't reveal much else about

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.879
Laneshia‘S death at this point. Investigators

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.240
at this time say that they don't even know what

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.800
kind of case that they're working. Homicide,

00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.139
suicide, accident. All possibilities remain open,

00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.720
according to them. However, the fact that Kenneth

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.600
is so badly injured makes me think, and it seems

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.560
like the police think, that someone else was

00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.220
involved in this. So toxicology testing is rushed

00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:55.439
for Linisha's autopsy. Carroll County Sheriff

00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.899
Tony Reeves says, quote, It is a very wide open

00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:02.100
case, a lot of problems, a lot of questions,

00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:07.040
but it's a solvable case. Kenneth remains hospitalized.

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.139
According to reports, his eyes are open, but

00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:14.860
he cannot respond to questions. Investigators

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:17.720
hope he'll recover enough to speak to them and

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.579
tell them what happened. Police also try to gently

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:25.160
talk with Lyric, the only unharmed witness inside

00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:30.139
the home. Neighbors are in shock by the murder.

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.240
No one can imagine who would want to hurt Laneshia.

00:08:35.149 --> 00:08:37.629
She was focused on raising her children and didn't

00:08:37.629 --> 00:08:41.610
bother anyone. With no clear suspect or motive,

00:08:42.389 --> 00:08:45.009
Lyric is placed in child protective services

00:08:45.009 --> 00:08:48.210
until family members can be cleared of involvement

00:08:48.210 --> 00:08:53.029
in Laneshia‘s death. On Thursday, August 17th,

00:08:53.029 --> 00:08:56.149
just three days after the body was found, Kenneth

00:08:56.149 --> 00:08:59.909
remains in critical condition. Still, there are

00:08:59.909 --> 00:09:02.429
no major developments or breakthrough in the

00:09:02.429 --> 00:09:07.460
case. It takes a few weeks until Wednesday, September

00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:13.220
6th, so about 24 days after the murder, police

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:16.279
announce that they now know what killed Laneshia.

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:21.200
They say that they know the cause of death. And

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.820
this is interesting because it seems that they

00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:26.399
walk back this statement later on, but we'll

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.899
get to that in a little bit. At this time in

00:09:29.899 --> 00:09:32.879
September of 2000, they refuse to reveal the

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.419
cause of death. And they actually refuse to confirm

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:40.360
if it's officially a homicide, but continue to

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.480
treat it as one. And from everything we know

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.379
now, it is a homicide. Kenneth is still hospitalized

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:51.700
and still unable to be questioned about the night

00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:55.429
of his mother's death. Lyric and eventually Kenneth

00:09:55.429 --> 00:09:58.289
will ultimately go to live with their grandma,

00:09:58.710 --> 00:10:03.289
Laneshia‘S mother Doris. We really don't get any

00:10:03.289 --> 00:10:06.730
other updates in the case. The next updates that

00:10:06.730 --> 00:10:11.490
I could really find come in 2015. Her children

00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:14.190
really begin to advocate for their mother as

00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:17.429
they enter adulthood. They do an interview with

00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:20.250
USA Today and Kenneth begins to tell people what

00:10:20.250 --> 00:10:23.480
he remembers from that night. He talks about

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.139
knowing that something was wrong, telling his

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:29.679
sister to hide or to run. And then he remembers

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.639
them coming into the room and beating him and

00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:38.259
his mom. It's also reported in 2015 that police

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:42.139
believe that the case is solvable. They say that

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:45.080
they have evidence from this case, including

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.830
the object that was used in the murder. In 2020,

00:10:51.149 --> 00:10:53.970
approaching the 20 -year anniversary, again,

00:10:54.029 --> 00:10:56.330
her children continue to speak out about what

00:10:56.330 --> 00:10:58.830
they remember from that night and wanting justice

00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:02.070
for their mother. Again, Kenneth says, quote,

00:11:02.230 --> 00:11:04.769
I knew something was wrong. I could tell it.

00:11:05.029 --> 00:11:08.289
So I told my sister to hide. And then when they

00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:10.149
just came in the door and they started beating

00:11:10.149 --> 00:11:15.269
my mom, started beating me. Lyric says that she

00:11:15.269 --> 00:11:16.970
remembers some of the events from that night,

00:11:17.009 --> 00:11:21.039
too. She says, quote, I just remember being behind

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.600
the door and watching what happened, and watching

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:28.039
them come in and doing what they did. Investigator

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.279
Amanda Halsey says the attack likely wasn't planned.

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:39.019
She says, quote, She also believes that the perpetrators

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:42.679
may have panicked, possibly surprised that Kenneth

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.779
survived. Investigators think it likely that

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:49.000
when news broke that Kenneth was still alive,

00:11:49.299 --> 00:11:52.580
the suspect likely had some sort of reaction

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:56.639
in their personal life. Police say they are holding

00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.860
information back, key details, in order to protect

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:03.580
the case. Laneshia‘S family believes that the

00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:07.440
killer is still in the area. Her mother, Doris,

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:15.899
says, quote, Over the years, she says that people

00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:18.860
have made cryptic comments to her. Some have

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:21.019
approached the children and said things meant

00:12:21.019 --> 00:12:24.399
to scare them about their mother's death. In

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.700
July of 2021, so this is approaching 21 years,

00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.179
Laneshia‘S family planned to do a balloon release

00:12:31.179 --> 00:12:34.480
to honor her life. But frustration is growing

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.019
with the family. Despite those earlier statements

00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:40.879
that the cause of death had been determined,

00:12:41.809 --> 00:12:44.929
Investigators say at this time that they couldn't

00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:46.710
determine it, that they don't truly know what

00:12:46.710 --> 00:12:50.870
it is, and the family echo that. Family members

00:12:50.870 --> 00:12:53.149
say communication from law enforcement has been

00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:56.549
minimal. The family asks what exactly is going

00:12:56.549 --> 00:13:00.570
on in the investigation. Laneshia‘S sister says,

00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:03.730
quote, they never reach out to us. It has affected

00:13:03.730 --> 00:13:07.230
us very bad. The family ultimately just wants

00:13:07.230 --> 00:13:10.950
justice for Laneshia and for her children. The

00:13:10.950 --> 00:13:13.690
family also questions forensic findings in the

00:13:13.690 --> 00:13:17.190
case, including the absence of evidence under

00:13:17.190 --> 00:13:20.470
Laneshia and Kenneth's fingernails, something

00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:22.669
expected if they had fought back in the attack.

00:13:23.870 --> 00:13:26.769
Officials confirmed that Laneshia had no natural

00:13:26.769 --> 00:13:30.090
cause of death, so there wasn't some underlying

00:13:30.090 --> 00:13:32.409
sickness that caused her to die all of a sudden,

00:13:32.549 --> 00:13:35.049
that they never realized. revealed all these

00:13:35.049 --> 00:13:38.149
years. The sheriff's office says that the case

00:13:38.149 --> 00:13:41.250
is active and that they even have a person of

00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:44.570
interest in the case. But due to COVID at this

00:13:44.570 --> 00:13:47.970
time, it's slowing down progress and they haven't

00:13:47.970 --> 00:13:49.629
been able to talk to everyone that they would

00:13:49.629 --> 00:13:52.950
like to. They say that they also have resubmitted

00:13:52.950 --> 00:13:55.889
some evidence for testing. Again, investigator

00:13:55.889 --> 00:13:57.970
Halsey says, quote, there are several things

00:13:57.970 --> 00:14:01.450
we are waiting on. But that was really one of

00:14:01.450 --> 00:14:05.009
the last updates that I could find. And while

00:14:05.009 --> 00:14:08.710
I was encouraged that it was from 2021, I was

00:14:08.710 --> 00:14:11.009
hoping that there would be some announcement

00:14:11.009 --> 00:14:13.309
that there was some breakthrough in the evidence,

00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:16.970
but not one that I could find. So that is really

00:14:16.970 --> 00:14:21.289
all we know about the cold case of Laneshia Crowder.

00:14:21.769 --> 00:14:24.950
So if you know anything about the murder of Laneshia

00:14:24.950 --> 00:14:28.669
Crowder in August of 2000, You are encouraged

00:14:28.669 --> 00:14:35.470
to call the GBI Region 2 office at 706 -565 -7888

00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:39.970
or the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 770

00:14:39.970 --> 00:14:47.610
-830 -5888. So that is the cold case of Laneshia

00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:50.710
Crowder. This is a case I almost felt like I

00:14:50.710 --> 00:14:52.549
should have prefaced it at the beginning where

00:14:52.549 --> 00:14:56.049
we are going to have more questions than answers.

00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.179
It feels obvious why I wanted to bring this one

00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:02.860
to cold and missing. This is not a case that

00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:06.539
I was very familiar with. Maybe if you are from

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:08.799
this area in Georgia, you might be familiar with

00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.799
it. It did seem like it did have such an impact

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:17.019
a little bit on the region in 2000. But outside

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:19.820
of that, you might not have heard of this case.

00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:24.779
I certainly never had. And learning the details.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.419
The details are pretty brutal in this case. I

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:33.779
didn't want to get into, you know, just like

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:38.000
too many of them just for the sake of being graphic.

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:42.240
But I think it is just important to note that

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.919
Laneshia’s children were present for her murder.

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:50.019
Like that is a horrific fact that I just think

00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:53.299
can't be ignored and certainly needs justice.

00:15:54.590 --> 00:15:57.269
And so when I was learning about this case and,

00:15:57.289 --> 00:15:59.809
you know, kind of put together that her children

00:15:59.809 --> 00:16:02.190
were there at the time of her murder, her young

00:16:02.190 --> 00:16:06.350
children, I knew that this was a case that I

00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:08.830
wanted to bring to cold and missing to get some

00:16:08.830 --> 00:16:11.370
energy behind it. It feels like the family is

00:16:11.370 --> 00:16:13.470
putting a lot of energy behind it. There's an

00:16:13.470 --> 00:16:16.190
investigator on it. It feels like it's really

00:16:16.190 --> 00:16:18.809
on a precipice of, like, maybe a major breakthrough.

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.000
Truly, that's why I wanted to bring it here to

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.879
Cold and Missing to hopefully kind of get it

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.379
over the edge of like energy, energy behind the

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:31.100
case, people talking about it, asking about it.

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:35.460
That's a big motivator in me bringing it to Cold

00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:38.620
and Missing. And then, of course, this fits perfectly

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:42.179
in with the mission, right? Like a wonderful

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:45.299
woman, an incredible mother, an incredible friend,

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:51.409
an incredible family member was. Taken. And there

00:16:51.409 --> 00:16:54.870
have been no answers. And while her children

00:16:54.870 --> 00:16:59.350
and her mother have been advocating for answers

00:16:59.350 --> 00:17:01.990
in her case and really working with the media

00:17:01.990 --> 00:17:06.730
to keep it active, there hasn't been a lot of

00:17:06.730 --> 00:17:10.509
other people doing that. So I wanted to just

00:17:10.509 --> 00:17:13.450
do my little part, our little part. Let's get

00:17:13.450 --> 00:17:15.049
it out there. Let's get other people talking

00:17:15.049 --> 00:17:19.049
about it. Other people should know about Laneshia‘s

00:17:19.049 --> 00:17:23.829
case, and we should have answers here. Like I

00:17:23.829 --> 00:17:26.609
said, there are a lot more questions than answers.

00:17:27.549 --> 00:17:31.190
So one of the questions I have, in recent years,

00:17:31.470 --> 00:17:36.170
Investigator Holsey, it sounds like she believes

00:17:36.170 --> 00:17:39.809
that it is a crime of passion, something that

00:17:39.809 --> 00:17:41.809
kind of happened in that heat of the moment.

00:17:42.269 --> 00:17:46.450
So if that is the case, then... You know, I wonder,

00:17:46.569 --> 00:17:49.450
who were all the people that she was talking

00:17:49.450 --> 00:17:52.569
on the phone with that night? Were there any

00:17:52.569 --> 00:17:56.130
calls that were made that maybe she missed because

00:17:56.130 --> 00:18:00.970
she was on the other line? Did she make any calls?

00:18:01.049 --> 00:18:03.950
Just who was the last person that she talked

00:18:03.950 --> 00:18:06.910
to that evening? Did she tell that person that

00:18:06.910 --> 00:18:11.259
she was expecting anyone to stop by? It sounds

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:13.740
like, based off of those comments from the investigator,

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.519
that Laneshia very likely could have known the

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.880
killer then. And I think there's also some other

00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.619
facts that we know. We know nothing was stolen,

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:28.079
so it doesn't seem like robbery was apparent,

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:33.319
a motive in this case. And then we know that

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.480
there are no signs of forced entry. Of course,

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:38.339
if you've been a longtime listener to Cold and

00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:42.119
Missing. You know that no signs of forced entry

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.579
doesn't always mean a lot with us. There are

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:47.400
a lot of ways to force your way into somebody's

00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.660
house without necessarily breaking a lock or

00:18:49.660 --> 00:18:53.039
a window that wouldn't leave behind those kind

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.140
of obvious forces of entry. But considering everything

00:18:57.140 --> 00:19:00.640
else, did she know this person? That's just a

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.240
question I have, but we really don't know. It

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.250
does seem like with Kenneth, You know, he was

00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:12.569
old enough and thankfully he survived. He went

00:19:12.569 --> 00:19:17.490
through a really difficult attack. Per Kenneth's

00:19:17.490 --> 00:19:20.289
statement and even lyric from what she remembers

00:19:20.289 --> 00:19:23.650
of that evening, it sounds like there could be

00:19:23.650 --> 00:19:28.029
multiple people. There never seems to be a specific

00:19:28.029 --> 00:19:32.289
number as far as I can tell. But it does seem

00:19:32.289 --> 00:19:35.569
like at least more than one person. So if that's

00:19:35.569 --> 00:19:39.349
the case. Who would have done this with somebody

00:19:39.349 --> 00:19:45.470
else that knew Laneshia? It just brings up a lot

00:19:45.470 --> 00:19:49.410
of questions. But so, so thankful that Kenneth

00:19:49.410 --> 00:19:52.490
and Lyric are still with us, that they were not

00:19:52.490 --> 00:19:54.789
harmed in the same way that their mother was

00:19:54.789 --> 00:19:58.009
that evening. I know that this was very harmful

00:19:58.009 --> 00:20:00.789
to them, no matter what. Kenneth obviously went

00:20:00.789 --> 00:20:03.839
through a very... Intense physical attack and,

00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:07.299
you know, barely survived that. And then what

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:11.359
Lyric had to go through must have been very terrifying.

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.140
And that leaves its own mark on somebody. So

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:20.380
what her children went through is horrific. I

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:25.039
just I can't emphasize that enough. And it's

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.980
just such a motivator of me wanting to get answers

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:32.200
in this case is because these. Her children deserve

00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.519
answers. They deserve answers because they had

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.720
to go through this in a very up -close -and -personal

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:43.279
way. So they deserve answers and for somebody

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:49.779
to say why they did this to them. Yeah, it's—I

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:52.420
can't believe someone would do that to children.

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.339
I'm always shocked by the cruelty of people.

00:20:56.380 --> 00:20:59.240
Thinking more again to my questions, I would

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.839
be very curious that evidence that they were

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.119
talking about, that they were retesting, even

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.859
in 2015, they said they had a murder weapon or

00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:15.559
the object used in Laneshia‘s death. I guess her

00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:17.599
death is like another thing that we should just

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.380
talk about. So there's some back and forth of

00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:23.700
if there is a cause of death, if there's not.

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.180
I really try not to speculate on this podcast

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:30.440
and try really hard to stick in the facts because

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.660
my intention is never to muddy up the waters

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:37.700
around these cases. I always want cold and missing

00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:41.319
just to kind of be the facts of the case of what's

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.500
reported right now. So based off of everything,

00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.400
we know that according to reports, she was not

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.319
shot. That she did have some head wounds, but

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:58.119
they were not bad enough to cause. They were

00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.640
not fatal wounds. So those themselves did not

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:06.059
cause death. But beyond that, police have never

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:10.099
confirmed a cause of death. It does sound like

00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:14.099
an assault of some sort, right? Kenneth says

00:22:14.099 --> 00:22:18.200
he sees people beating his mom. So there's that.

00:22:18.829 --> 00:22:22.309
evidence and then there's this statement in 2015

00:22:22.309 --> 00:22:26.170
that they have the object that was used in the

00:22:26.170 --> 00:22:30.150
death so again an object being used you would

00:22:30.150 --> 00:22:34.029
think that is if she was not shot that would

00:22:34.029 --> 00:22:40.069
maybe be an instrument used in a beating so that's

00:22:40.069 --> 00:22:42.630
where I land on like kind of a cause of death

00:22:42.630 --> 00:22:45.950
what happened here I don't think that's an unreasonable

00:22:45.950 --> 00:22:48.829
place to land based off of everything that we

00:22:48.829 --> 00:22:52.789
know. But that brings me back around to that

00:22:52.789 --> 00:22:55.329
object that the police talked about in 2015.

00:22:55.529 --> 00:22:59.650
And, you know, what has been tested today? What

00:22:59.650 --> 00:23:02.470
hasn't been tested today? What evidence do we

00:23:02.470 --> 00:23:05.410
have? Do we have DNA? Do we not? Do we have fingerprints?

00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.480
Sounds like there's good evidence in this case.

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:12.039
Again and again, investigators talk about this

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.299
case being solvable. And again and again, they

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:18.019
point to the fact that it's solvable because

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:21.920
they have evidence in this case. So, you know,

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:24.160
if I could sit down and know anything, I would

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.180
want to know what is that evidence? What hasn't

00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:31.180
been tested? What could be tested? And what have

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:35.740
the results been? Anybody. It sounds like there

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:39.559
was a person of interest in 2021 when COVID was,

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:45.339
you know, still locking the world down. But what

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:47.859
about now? Is that still a person of interest?

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:53.059
Are you just looking for evidence to bring this

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:56.460
person in or have they been excluded completely?

00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.900
Lots of questions. Would be very curious just

00:24:01.900 --> 00:24:07.400
to know the state of the case today. But ultimately,

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:12.240
for Kenneth, for Lyric, for Laneshia’s family,

00:24:12.339 --> 00:24:16.240
I'm really, really hopeful that the energy that

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.160
her children, her family have been putting into

00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.890
this case, that... the investigators that are

00:24:22.890 --> 00:24:25.849
focusing on this case, that the community that

00:24:25.849 --> 00:24:28.549
still want answers, that continue to ask about

00:24:28.549 --> 00:24:33.190
her case. I'm hoping between all of that energy

00:24:33.190 --> 00:24:37.329
and the pressure that investigators continue

00:24:37.329 --> 00:24:40.809
putting resources towards her case so that way

00:24:40.809 --> 00:24:43.410
we do get the answers that we're looking for

00:24:43.410 --> 00:24:47.650
and Kenneth and Lyric can have some justice.

00:24:49.410 --> 00:24:53.569
Ultimately, In Laneshia‘s case, I am very hopeful

00:24:53.569 --> 00:24:57.789
that it will be solved. Between the advocacy

00:24:57.789 --> 00:25:00.990
work that her children and her family are doing

00:25:00.990 --> 00:25:04.910
for her case and then the local media have been

00:25:04.910 --> 00:25:07.470
doing a really good job of keeping the case active

00:25:07.470 --> 00:25:10.329
in the last few years. So I'm hopeful between

00:25:10.329 --> 00:25:13.349
that and then this one investigator that seems

00:25:13.349 --> 00:25:15.950
to be really putting, you know, the resources

00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:20.309
to her case. That between all of that and then

00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:22.390
just the additional energy we can put behind

00:25:22.390 --> 00:25:25.690
it, that we will start to see results and answers.

00:25:26.349 --> 00:25:29.349
That Kenneth and Lyric can get answers in this

00:25:29.349 --> 00:25:33.890
case. I hope that there is evidence that can

00:25:33.890 --> 00:25:37.509
still be tested or that can get some sort of

00:25:37.509 --> 00:25:40.130
hits, that technology catches up, whatever needs

00:25:40.130 --> 00:25:43.069
to happen to get us to that next step where we

00:25:43.069 --> 00:25:46.950
are bringing somebody in and justice is being

00:25:46.950 --> 00:25:51.410
served. Again, it seems very solvable. We have

00:25:51.410 --> 00:25:55.109
evidence. That's one thing that seems very clear

00:25:55.109 --> 00:25:58.829
is that there's evidence in this case. So I'm

00:25:58.829 --> 00:26:01.130
hopeful that somewhere in all of that evidence

00:26:01.130 --> 00:26:04.630
is an answer for Laneshia and for her children.

00:26:05.230 --> 00:26:08.789
So again, if you know anything about the murder

00:26:08.789 --> 00:26:13.509
of Laneshia Crowder in August of 2000, please

00:26:13.509 --> 00:26:20.430
call the GBI Region 2 office at 706 -565 -7888

00:26:20.430 --> 00:26:24.470
or the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 770

00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:31.569
-830 -5888. And we will have a picture of Laneshia

00:26:31.569 --> 00:26:34.390
up on our Instagram at coldandmissing. You can

00:26:34.390 --> 00:26:37.250
follow us there if you're not already. If we

00:26:37.250 --> 00:26:39.910
ever have to take a week off, we will always

00:26:39.910 --> 00:26:41.930
try to post something on our Instagram just to

00:26:41.930 --> 00:26:45.150
keep you in the loop. And then, you know, active

00:26:45.150 --> 00:26:47.529
missing person cases that are happening here

00:26:47.529 --> 00:26:49.730
and now, I always try to post them as they come

00:26:49.730 --> 00:26:52.069
across my feed. So it's just a really great resource

00:26:52.069 --> 00:26:55.509
at Cold and Missing. And then, yeah, let's share

00:26:55.509 --> 00:26:58.029
Laneshia’s photo. Let's get the case out there.

00:26:58.089 --> 00:27:01.269
Let's get people listening to this episode so

00:27:01.269 --> 00:27:05.329
they can learn about her case. If you or someone

00:27:05.329 --> 00:27:08.069
you love is hard of hearing, we do have official

00:27:08.069 --> 00:27:11.430
transcripts on our website, www .coldandmissing

00:27:11.430 --> 00:27:14.069
.com. I go through and I make sure all of the

00:27:14.069 --> 00:27:16.390
spelling is correct. So official transcripts

00:27:16.390 --> 00:27:19.170
can be found there. I am not in control of some

00:27:19.170 --> 00:27:21.230
of the automated ones that are in podcast players.

00:27:21.470 --> 00:27:24.869
Official ones are on the website, www .coldandmissing

00:27:24.869 --> 00:27:27.920
.com. And we also have all of our old episodes

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.819
up there too. So you can look through, find some

00:27:30.819 --> 00:27:32.799
other episodes, maybe other cases you haven't

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.759
heard of, and you can give them a listen there.

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.299
And then lastly, if you can take some time today

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:41.160
in your podcast app, your player, if you could

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.180
just rate and review us. It really goes a long

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:45.420
way in getting others to listen to this podcast.

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.480
And we really are just asking for the rate and

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:52.180
reviews because it helps other people listen

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:54.299
to the podcast, which just helps other people

00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:56.579
know about these cases. That's what we're trying

00:27:56.579 --> 00:28:00.480
to do here. So that is why we ask that. I mean,

00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:04.000
you know the drill. Five stars gets the algorithm

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.500
pleased, and then it just helps other people

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:09.400
take a chance. You know what you're looking for

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.940
when you look for other podcasts to listen to.

00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:14.599
So if you have the time today, we'd really appreciate

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:16.819
it if you've done it already. Thank you so much.

00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:20.599
Every review, every comment that comes in fills

00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:24.799
my heart with joy. And I just appreciate it so

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.089
much. And if you haven't had the time to do it

00:28:27.089 --> 00:28:29.450
yet, I get it. We're all busy. Maybe this week

00:28:29.450 --> 00:28:31.829
is when you have those couple extra minutes and

00:28:31.829 --> 00:28:36.150
you're able to slip one in. But that is all I

00:28:36.150 --> 00:28:38.430
have for you this week. Thank you so much for

00:28:38.430 --> 00:28:40.730
listening to Cold and Missing. I'm your host,

00:28:40.769 --> 00:28:43.210
Ali. Have a good week and stay safe, y 'all.
