In this episode of TheColdCases.com Podcast, I sit down with Jody Walsh, sister of missing Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Robin Abrams, who vanished in 1990 under circumstances that still raise hard questions. Jody shares who Robin was beyond the headlines—her courage, her career, and the life stolen from a loving family. We discuss the timeline, alleged threats, key investigative moments, and what Jody believes needs to happen next to move this case forward.

You’ll hear about the family’s decades-long push for answers, the emotional cost of waiting, and how new tips or renewed attention could finally break the silence. If you know something—no matter how small—this is your invitation to speak up.

Why this matters:
Families don’t stop searching. Spotlighting Robin’s story keeps pressure on institutions, empowers witnesses, and honors a sister who refuses to give up.

Listen for:

  • Who Robin was behind the badge
  • The critical days after her disappearance
  • Leads the family still wants re-examined
  • How you can help keep Robin’s name in the public eye

Content note: This episode discusses a missing person case and may be difficult for some listeners.

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.
