🎙️ Podcast Episode: "Deanna Merryfield — A Sister’s Fight for Answers"

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Missie, the sister of missing Texas teen Deanna Merryfield, who vanished in 1990 after being placed in a foster home. Missie opens up about their childhood, the trauma left behind, and her ongoing mission to keep Deanna’s memory alive.

You’ll hear personal stories that bring Deanna to life — not just as a case, but as a sister, a daughter, and a bright young girl who deserved better.

🔍 We explore:

  • Deanna’s early life and personality
  • The circumstances surrounding her disappearance
  • The emotional toll on those left behind
  • Why justice still matters, even decades later

🕯️ This is more than an interview. It’s a reminder that every cold case has a family still waiting.

Every Unsolved Case Deserves a Voice.

Somewhere right now, a family is waiting for answers. Not the famous cases that dominate true crime podcasts or fill network television specials — but the other cases. The ones that slipped through the cracks of media attention. The ones where a name was forgotten before it ever had a chance to be remembered.

That's exactly why TheColdCases.com exists.

We are building the most comprehensive repository of lesser-known cold cases the internet has ever seen — a dedicated, searchable archive where forgotten victims finally get a permanent home. Where their names, their faces, and their stories are preserved with the dignity and urgency they deserve. Where investigators, journalists, amateur sleuths, and compassionate strangers can connect the dots that time tried to bury.

But we can't do this alone.

This work takes time, research, resources, and an unwavering community of people who refuse to let the forgotten stay forgotten. Every case we document is hours of careful, respectful work. Every profile published is a renewed chance for justice.

You are the missing piece.
