In today’s episode, we’re going to explore the unsolved murder of Linda Malcom, a Navy veteran whose body was found engulfed in flames in her Port Orchard, Washington home. Despite multiple leads, the case is still unsolved, but with the help of the right people, it might not stay that way for long. With us today are Jennifer Bucholtz and George Jared who are part of a Cold Case Investigative Team through the American Military University. Jennifer is former US Army Counterintelligence, an instructor in criminal justice and forensic science and works as an investigator for the El Paso County Sheriff's Department. George is an investigative journalist who has written multiple true crime books. The duo have a podcast called Break the Case. Their work contributed to solving another cold case which was featured on one of their earlier seasons of their podcast. Linda’s story is featured in season 3. So we invited them to the show to talk a little bit about how they handle cold cases, and what makes Linda’s case so unique, and solvable.
