Cold and Missing
Ali McLaughlin & Eli Sulkowski
Cold and Missing focuses exclusively on cold cases and unsolved missing person cases. Every week Ali and Eli - a husband and wife duo- will bring you either a Cold Case or a unresolved missing person. Ethically, we are not interested in talking about solved cases and reliving another families trauma. We are interested in being a small part of the solution and the hope of the podcast is to keep unsolved cases in peoples mind and generate tips. Cold and Missing is for fans of true crime who appreciate deep research into cases.
Cold and Missing: Khoi Dang Vu
In April 7th, 2007, 25-year-old Khoi Dang Vu was a trusting and vulnerable young man when he vanished from his family’s home in Clark County Washington, in the middle of the night. He left behind his jacket, bike, and everything familiar, immediately raising alarm. What began as a search for someone who may have wandered off quickly turned into something more concerning, as days passed with no confirmed sightings despite extensive searches and FBI involvement. Within weeks, the case was reclassified as criminal, and by 2008, investigators believed Khoi was the victim of homicide, though his body has never been found. Nearly two decades later, his disappearance remains unsolved, and his family is still searching for answers.

Cold and Missing: Kelly Dove
In the early morning hours of June 18, 1982, 20-year-old Kelly Dove vanished while working the overnight shift at a gas station in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Just minutes before police arrived, Kelly made a series of calls reporting obscene phone calls and a suspicious man outside the store driving a silver Ford. When officers arrived- just minutes after Kelly’s 911 calls- the gas station was eerily untouched. Money left behind, her purse still behind the counter, and no signs of a struggle, but Kelly was gone. What followed was a decades-long search marked by missed leads, unanswered questions, and growing belief that Kelly was abducted and murdered. In this episode of Cold and Missing, we walk through Kelly’s final moments, the troubling similarities to other cases from the same summer, and the renewed investigation that may finally bring answers to what happened to Kelly Dove.
