SUSPECT, season II

Vanished in the Snow

My six-episode narrative podcast charted at #1 in the U.S. for two consecutive weeks and remains a favorite on true crime lists. I tell the story of middle schooler Jonelle Matthews who disappeared from her Colorado home in 1984. For decades, police claimed they had no leads. But there was a man who'd been trying to get law enforcement's attention all along. Was he involved or just a true crime fan obsessed with the case?

Suspect II: Vanished in the Snow attempts to separate fact from fiction, compulsion from guilt, and one man’s true-crime obsession from a motive for murder.

4 Thumbs-up review of Vanished in the Snow by the Crime Writers On… Podcast (contains spoilers!)

Podcast critic Lauren Passell: “I loved this show because of the host, former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz. She feels close to the story and I trust her, she’s smart but has a warmth with the people she talks to and her audience that made listening feel good, despite the horrible details.”

Crime Writers On voted “Suspect” as one of best podcasts of 2022 saying, “The host has really great storytelling chops…they build that mystery very well.”
