Detective William Springer Part 3: Suzanne Poole, Formerly Singer Island Jane Doe and Conclusion

In this final episode of our interview with Detective William Springer of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Jason and special guest co-host Gwen Barringer speak with Det. Springer about the recent identification of Suzanne Poole, formerly 1974 Singer Island Jane Doe. Discussed is the initial investigation and how a suspect was named early on; only for investigators to really look at the bigger picture once her identification was made. Also discussed briefly is the case of Randi Gorenberg and Rachel Hurley, both from Palm Beach County. 

This is the conclusion of our three part episode.

Detective William Springer Part 1: A Career to Service

Detective William Springer Part 1: A Career to Service

Det. William Springer's career in law enforcement goes back to 1969 in Centre County, Pennsylvania. From there, he migrated to Florida for better pay; only to be knocked down and making what he calls "starvation wages". From there, he picked himself up and started a career with PBSO that led him to become one of the county's--and state's--top homicide detectives. Today, he is on the cold case squad with a mission to solve every cold case there. And he has the weapon of modern technology to help him. Gwen Barringer of A Light for Ericka and John Lordan's Seriously Mysterious returns as Jason's co-host in this episode. This is the first of two episodes.

DEADLY HOLIDAY PART 2: The Bombing and Investigation

POD DISCLAIMER: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DISCUSSION OF POLITICAL THEMES AND MAY INCLUDE THE PERSONAL OPINIONS OF THE HOSTS AND GUEST. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING. 

Harry Tyson and Harriette V. Moore were trailblazers in the civil rights movement in Florida. They strove to make equal access at the polls for blacks a reality, despite the struggles they faced early on. Harry was the state president of the NAACP, and eventually would form the Progressive Voters League with a friend. Together, with Harriette's help, they were able to register over 100,000 blacks to the Democratic Party of Florida.

On this episode of From The Vault, we conclude the conversation on Harry and Harriette Moore with special guest Bill Gary of the Harry and Harriette Moore Cultural Center as we discuss the bombing of the Moore home in Mims, Florida. Additionally, a deep dive into the investigation into the persons of interest in the case and the aftermath of the most recent investigation. We also discuss ways we can better honor Harry and Harriette Moore in a deep discussion towards the end.

Together, with Harriette's help, they were able to register over 100,000 blacks to the Democratic Party of Florida.
But it also came with dire consequences. Willie Howard's lynching in Suwannee County, the Groveland 4 case in Lake County, and the state and national attitude toward the civil rights movement was coming to a head. Harry would be involved in each aspect of this until the night of December 25th, 1951. This would be the night of the Moore's 25th wedding anniversary--and the night everything changed for their family.
We are honored to have Dr. Bill Gary, President of the Board of Directors for the Harry and Harriette Moore Cultural Center in Brevard County, Florida join us for this discussion on one of Florida's coldest cases. To learn more about the Moore Cultural Center, please visit their website:

Henry County John Doe Revisited (Feat. Daisy Chains)

On this episode of From The Vault, Jason revisits the episode of True Cold Case Files on the Henry County John Doe; a young man found in Knightstown, Indiana on October 2nd, 2003. He had been shot in the head and left at the abandoned gas station that he was found at by two Indianapolis Police detectives and an inmate that had information about other crimes in the area. Later, detectives discovered that the man had been seen alive at a Walmart in Reynoldsburg, Ohio on September 30th, 2003. How did they know about this visit? And could a tell-tale purchase he made at the Walmart be an important clue into why he was killed? Jason hashes it all out on this episode of From The Vault

Septic Tank Sam: Torture in the Prairie

On April 13th, 1977, a body was discovered in a septic tank in Tofield, Alberta, Canada. How it got there, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police still don't know. There has been great mystery surrounding the story of Septic Tank Sam, and his case still needs to be solved. Jason and Nick discuss in depth the case of Septic Tank Sam, and discuss how the RCMP have been working toward identifying his case.

Sumter County Does Identified

Sumter County Does Identified

While preparing to record the Joanie Hall episode, Jason and his guests Gwen and Jessi, learned about the shocking developments surrounding the Sumter County Does case. Though From The Vault or its predecessor True Cold Case Files never discussed the case; it is one of the most notorious unidentified persons cases in North America. Their reactions are raw, as prior to the recording, the news had just come out only a couple of hours before. 

Two days after this was recorded, we learn that the John and Jane Doe found brutally murdered in Sumter County, South Carolina on August 9th, 1976 are identified as James Paul Fruend and Pamela Mae Buckley. May they rest in peace now that their names have been returned to them.

Joanie Hall: The Oregon Coast's Great Mystery

Joanie Hall: The Oregon Coast's Great Mystery

On September 30th, 1983 Joan Leigh "Joanie" Hall had her day planned out. She was to go to the Warrenton Grade School after classes at the high school to help her Aunt Ruth grade papers and help tutor. However, she never made it to the school. She had last been seen at the Warrenton Mini Mart making a purchase, while catching a ride with a fellow student who has remained a person of interest in this case. But is there more to the story than just that? Could some of the details in this case cause the case to not be prosecuted in the future? And will Joanie ever be found?


Jason is joined by Gwen Barringer of "A Light For Ericka" and Jessi Veltstra of Trans Doe Task Force as they breakdown the Joanie Hall from beginning to end.

IN DEPTH WITH NICK: Carl Koppelman

Carl Koppelman has been doing forensic art for over a decade. A skill set he worked on while caring for his ill mother, Carl managed to build faces for many John and Jane Does across the nation. One of his most famous faces was the Caledonia Jane Doe; which would help detectives in this New York town to identify her as Tammy Jo Alexander. His work appears prominently in the Walker County Jane Doe case; which Nick Wagler and Carl discuss in depth. Also discussed is the work that he has done with the DNA Doe Project, as well as an interesting encounter as a teenager with a man Carl believes may have been Randy Kraft, a serial killer who did his bidding up and down the West Coast!

Also discussed is the George Hawkins case, which follows up our latest episode of TCCF on the Hawkins case.
