  • Justin Burgwinkel Pt. One
    Jan 23 2025
    June 12, 1993. Santa Clara, California. 21-year old U.S. Army Private Justin Burgwinkel leaves his girlfriend’s apartment and never returns. One week earlier, Justin had gone AWOL from Fort Lewis, the post where he was stationed in Washington state, and kept hinting to his girlfriend that he was working on some sort of secret mission. Three months later, Justin’s abandoned car is found at a motel in Monterey with his military dog tags and most of his personal items inside. While the Army denies that Justin was ever involved in any secret operations, no trace of him is ever found. Did Justin Burgwinkel go missing because he became involved in something sinister? Or did he suffer some sort of mental breakdown and lose his grip on reality? On this week’s episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore the unsolved disappearance of a soldier who has not been seen in three decades.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Clinton Police Department at (978) 365-4111.

  • Martha Jean Lambert Mystery Case Pt. Two
    Jan 16 2025
    November 27, 1985. St. Augustine, Florida. While attending a neighbourhood social gathering, 12-year old Martha Jean Lambert tells her mother that she will be taking a brief trip back to their mobile home, but Martha never returns and is eventually reported missing. Suspicion starts to fall upon on Martha’s 14-year old brother, David Lambert, after he gives conflicting stories about the last time he saw her. Over the course of the next 24 years, David makes two separate confessions about killing Martha and disposing of her body. Investigators find David’s second confession to be believable enough that they decide to close the case, but almost immediately after this news is made public, David recants his story. Was Martha’s brother actually responsible for her disappearance, or did something else happen to her? This week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold” covers a very controversial and divisive missing persons case which has yet to find a conclusive resolution.

    Okay, um, basically… the truth of the matter is… me and ****** went to the old college and we got in a big argument and fight… and it was over money that she wouldn't give back to me. It was some change of a $20 bill. She hauled off and punched me. I then… not thinking… pushed her. She fell backwards and her head… when she fell backwards, her head impaled on something sharp sticking out of the ground. I then said: “Are you alright?”. I run over to her and she just mimed a little bit and… there was nothing else. I hollered out for help too cause Holmes Boulevard is right there. Nobody came, nobody yelled back or anything. I didn't want to leave her… I freaked out… I didn’t… I said I don’t know what to tell you all. I couldn’t tell you all. I just freaked. Uh, so I… not thinking… I freaked… I tripped… I just didn't know what to do… I buried her. I didn’t know what to do. It was the wrong thing to do, I agree. But I was 14 years old. I wasn’t thinking. I then… I came home after that, but she was dead. Definitely dead before I buried her. That I know because I checked her stomach and all that. Then after that, I sit therefor about 30 minutes… 30 to 45 minutes… just didn’t know what to do. I went home, I got cleaned up. I regret it, I'm sorry it did happen. I regret pushing her. I wish I could go back in time and not have done that. I wish I could turn time, if I could turn time back, I wouldn’t just… you know. It was all over money… and you know what money will do to you when you’re a kid. I don't know… you were a kid… you had a certain amount of money… the money was valuable to you then, you know. But that's the way it was with me when I was a kid. Every dime I got, I depend on. Because most stuff like that I had to work for.
