Gone Cold Podcast Host:
Vincent Strange has always been intrigued by mysteries and who-dunnits, not only for the challenge they present but also because he believes in accountability and justice.
In 2017, when he began speaking with the families of missing persons and unsolved homicide victims, it became clear that there were a ton of folks whose stories have been forgotten and some whose stories have never really been told at all. Gone Cold set out to tell these forgotten and untold stories in hopes that it can help bring renewed attention that might lead to new information.
