True Crime Review


Ep. 11: The Disappearance of Sherri Vanessa Holland

December 29, 2016

Editor’s Note
This episode contains some experiments. I was so focused on research and writing for this episode that I forgot to mention any of the following on the recording. Please let me know via the post comments, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook or VOICEMAIL (another experiment I’ll announce in an upcoming episode) at 724-24-CRIME.

The title: I’ve been trying to put as many victims’ names in the title as I can but at some point it just becomes too long. This time I’m focusing the title on the featured cold case. This partially to prevent crazy-long titles and partially to bring extra attention to the featured cold case because most if not all of the other crimes discussed are either under active investigation or have been solved and are awaiting prosecution.
I read the intro this week instead of using the creepy augmented voice I’ve used previously.
I’ve added bumpers between main segments of the show. It’s a few notes of melancholy, mysterious-sounding strings taken from Ofelia’s Dream by Benjamin Tissot.
No background music in this episode.

Update on Chris Zahl, covered in Ep. 4
Someone named Rich Laue posted the following comment on the YouTube video of episode 4:
As a friend of Chris Zahl I can add a little more. He had found an out of the way field in a Monmouth County Park off of Red Hill Road about 2 miles from the farm, to grow his weed.. He contended this was for medical research, but spent time in jail. The PI, hired by Friends of Chris, feels his disappearance is related to the pot growing, considering that all they found was the items you mentioned, almost ones costly felt it was murder. The car had been sanitized, no dirt, hair or fingerprints could be found to identify who he might have been with or where the vehicle might have gone. . His brother is not a suspect, the farm was thoroughly searched, including the pond. The mother who our lives there husband’s has since sold the farm and lives in Red Bank. Texas also was brought into the investagation, but I’m not sure why.
Go have a listen to Episode 4 for more info and while you’re there you can read the info I included in the original story I did on Chris Zahl.
