You met Gerald Ross Jr. in Episode 7: Officer Cione. He was a police officer and homicide detective in Philadelphia in the 60s and 70s -- one of the detectives who arrived at the scene of Fred Cione's murder the night Fred was shot. That part of his story is in Episode 7. But Gerald Ross has more stories to tell than just the ones that made it into the last episode. We wanted to share some of them, like the time he was shot in the line of duty. And what it was like being an African American police officer under Police Commissioner Frank Rizzo. And he even has a few things to say about his nephew, current Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross.

Come see Gone Cold LIVE at the Philadelphia Podcast Festival! We're doing the show live at 2pm on Saturday, July 27, at Indy Hall in Philadelphia (399 Market St., #360). We'll be talking about updates to Officer Cione's case and all of the homicides we've covered so far, and we'll have two completely amazing real life Crime Scene Investigators joining us. Bring your questions!

Dr. Erin Kimmerle digs up bodies. She's carefully picked through mass graves in Kosovo and Croatia to identify victims of war crimes. She did the same thing in Peru, where men, women, and children were executed by the military forty years ago. She dug up the bones of young boys murdered at a Florida reform school. And this summer, she came to Philadelphia, to dig up bodies.

Tomiene Jones worked the night shift at the post office. She would take her young daughter to the babysitter, and then drive to work. She'd done this many times before, and each time, she came back to pick up her daughter after her shift. Then they'd go home. But on April 17th, 2002, Tomiene didn't go to work. She didn't pick up her daughter. And she didn't come home. Nobody ever saw Tomiene Jones again.

Gone Cold is a true crime podcast about unsolved murders in the Philadelphia area. This case takes place in South Jersey. Our goal is to document what happens after the taking of a life, the collateral damage that takes place after a senseless act of violence. To tell the stories of the people left behind, and the people who are still on the job. To remember the lives of the ones who aren't with us. And, hopefully, to help police get tips that help them solve the case. If you have a tip about this case, please call the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 384-5500.You can also leave a tip online: CLICK HEREThanks to Wendy Ruderman (@wendyruderman) for her help with this episode.
