Jaquaree Simmons

Hello dear listener! We begin episode 51 with the murder of Carmen Croan in Odessa, Texas. A young girl heads to a night club to make up with her boyfriend but ends up disemboweled and practically decapitated on the side of the highway near an oil pump jack. Was it a knife wielding jewelry salesman, the hometown hero boxer, or is her killer still at large?  We close out the episode with the murder of Jaquaree Simmons in Houston, Texas. The victim of a negligent, racist, and brutal attack in the Harris County jail left the 23 year old man dead in his cell. What really happened to Jaquaree in February 2021?? The sheriff has taken action but the investigation is still ongoing... we hope.  *Sorry in advance...we drank the death drink cocktails tonight so, prepare yourself for some ice clinking and crunching (on Hannah's part) in the back ground* Olivia Mabel Trailer: https://soundcloud.com/elftree-podcast-network/footlights-the-proof-of-concept/s-Rzk4EOt8nKI Tip Line for Carmen Croan: 1-800-252-TIPS (8477) OR Submit a Tip Online through the Texas Rangers’ Cold Case website By telephone at 1-800-346-3243.

Carmen Croan & Jaquaree Simmons

After months of investigating the August 1981 slaying of Carmen Croan, the Ector County Sheriff’s Office was frustrated, particularly investigator David Saunders. After the bizarre kidnapping of an Odessa man, though, a suspect – a good suspect – fell into the department’s lap. After investigating the man and collecting evidence against him quietly and without informing the press, District Attorney Mike Holmes was ready to ask a grand jury for an indictment in December of 81. They got their indictment but court appointed defense attorneys for the suspect fought the charges hard, collecting a celebrity forensic expert who’d testified at Ted Bundy’s trial and a rockstar psychologist who’d given police in Georgia a psych profile for the Atlanta Child Murderer. After a slew of postponements, the suspect in Carmen’s mutilation murder walked for that charge...and that was after another person of interest, a potential accomplice, was killed in a what was deemed a freak accident.For more information and updates on Carmen’s case, visit author KE Crosby’s page https://www.facebook.com/ViolatedJusticeforCarmenCheck out our sponsor this episode, The Logo Pop, at https://thelogopop.comYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForCarmenCroan #JusticeForCarmen #Odessa #OdessaTX #EctorCountyTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3203003/advertisement

Carmen Croan Part 2: The Drifters

Ector County Sheriff’s Office investigator David Saunders called the August 1981 slaying of Carmen Croan “not your everyday murder.” Though the quote hardly described the brutality and sheer evil of the crime, the case sent chills to the hardened investigator’s core. He’d never seen anything like it, and it was hardly the first savage and explicitly violent death Odessa and Ector County had dealt with in the years leading up to it. The mutilation murder of Carmen was gruesome and macabre. The emotional and psychological ramifications investigators faced was immense. The twists and turns, too, were frustrating.For more information and updates on Carmen’s case, visit https://www.facebook.com/ViolatedJusticeforCarmenYou can support gone cold – texas true crime at https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast #JusticeForCarmenCroan #Odessa #OdessaTX #EctorCountyTX #Texas #TX #TrueCrime #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Unsolved #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCaseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3203003/advertisement
