Each podcast augments A+E Networks' linear broadcasts of the origin television shows. Show descriptions: Cold Case Files Based on the iconic, Emmy-nominated series on A&E, this show explores some of the most difficult-to-solve murders, which stymied investigators and went cold, sometimes for decades. In fact, one-third of all murders in America remain open. But thanks to dogged investigators and breakthroughs in forensic technology, these cases become part of the rare 1% of cold cases that are ever solved. Cold Case Files is hosted by Paula Barros. I Survived What is it like to face death and make it out alive? Based on the groundbreaking A&E television series, I Survived documents harrowing stories of human endurance. In their own words, survivors recall how they overcame unbelievable circumstances that changed their lives forever. American Justice A look at groundbreaking criminal cases, presenting viewers with an inside look at the case through the eyes of those directly involved, ranging from law enforcement officers to the victims. City Confidential City Confidential features real life stories in a wide variety of American cities. While many of these stories deal with murder, some also deal with attempted murder, and public officials caught in compromising situations, among other things. The cities featured vary widely in size, from the smallest village to the largest urban areas. Ancient Aliens Taken from the television show of the same name, The History Channel's Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the US, each episode in this hit series gives historic depth to the questions, speculations, provocative controversies, first-hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding this age-old debate. 'PodcastOne is proud of our decade long relationship with A+E Networks and that we've been able to grow one podcast, Cold Case Files which is now celebrating its 8th year in production, into a partnership that now includes five podcasts across the networks' top programming. Our listeners and advertising partners know that A+E's podcasts are trusted, top notch entertainment and we're looking forward to many years of having these podcasts on our network,' said Gray.

Search for answers: Mystery haunts family of missing mom from Brighton 50 years after she vanished
Goroshko, who lived on Monastery Road in Brighton, 'It's 50 years yesterday that she disappeared,' her son, Rick, said in a phone interview Thursday. 'Her life was cut short. She never got to live her life and be with her family ... she never got to see her grandkids or great-grandkids.' Three years ago the Boston Police Department appealed to the public for help and Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'Any piece of information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, could make a tremendous difference in the course of this decades long investigation,' Boston police said at the time. Advertisement Today Goroshko's loved ones are still waiting for answers, and her family is offering a $50,000 reward for any information that leads to the discovery of her remains. 'I want to give her a proper burial,' Rick said. Rick was 14 years old when his mother went missing. His older brother was 20 and his younger brother was 12. 'It was a time full of loss and confusion,' he said. 'Wondering where she is. Is she coming home? Not knowing what happened. It's just a hole in your heart that never heals.' Advertisement Adventures With Purpose, a group of divers who use underwater sonar imaging to locate vehicles in bodies of water, recently searched Jamaica Pond and the Charles River for Goroshko's gold 1970 Ford Maverick, but to no avail. 'They found a lot of vehicles, but unfortunately they did not find my mother's vehicle,' he said. Hans Hug, who owns Sonar Search & Recovery, a business in Exeter, N.H. that specializes in underwater search and recovery operations , has also located five vehicles in the Charles River that could potentially be Goroshko's. Hug plans to dive to the vehicles and hopefully identify them. Rick, 64, who lives in Pennsylvania, holds out hope that her mother's car could contain evidence that could 'hold somebody accountable.' 'We're kind of running out of time to get someone to come forward who knows something,' he said. 'Somebody knows something. Maybe it's time they cleared their conscience, and make things right.'

N.H. Cold Case Unit asks public for help in solving brutal 1995 killing of Boston man
Lei had been shot multiple times, strangled, and his throat was cut, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella, who described the slaying as 'an execution-style killing marked by both brutality and precision.' 'The evidence at the scene, including ligatures and shell casings from a single firearm, suggested this was anything but random,' Formella said in a statement. To this day, Lei's murder remains unsolved and the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit is appealing to anyone with knowledge about the murder to come forward. 'During the initial investigation, there were credible indications that people may have withheld information out of fear — fear of retaliation, fear of being associated with illegal gambling or gang activity, or fear of prosecution," Formella said in a statement Wednesday.

'If you were part of Paul's world, knew him casually, or simply heard something—no matter how minor it seemed—your voice matters. The passage of time does not erase the need for justice. Even the smallest detail could be the key to finally solving this case.' Formella emphasized that tips can be submitted anonymously. 'You do not need to reveal your identity to make a difference,' Formella said. 'Help us bring the truth to light. Help us deliver justice for Paul's family after three long decades.' #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; false;clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; width: 100%;} /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
