About this episode
In 1988, a 19-year-old woman in Maryland went missing after a last-minute meeting with an unknown man. When her car was found burned and an anonymous letter was sent to her parents, the police seriously began investigating a particular person in their small town. But were they the one responsible for this young woman’s mysterious vanishing, or someone else right under law enforcement’s nose? This is the story of Cathy Ford. *BONUS EPISODES* patreon.com/goingwestpodcast ( patreon.com/goingwestpodcast ) *CASE SOURCES* https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/wv-catherine-ford-19-gormania-feb-1988-p-ferrell-guilty.132052/ http://vots.altervista.org/news/Ferrell.htm https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/cmxuxv/who_really_killed_cathy_ford_in_1988_was_her_real/ https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Cathy_Ford https://law.justia.com/cases/west-virginia/supreme-court/1990/19401-5.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/175308764/rosalie-roberta-ford https://obituaries.times-news.com/obituary/rosalie-ford-865117532 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
