Episode 16: Cold Case File Rosa Lee Crabtree

from Star Talk · host Durham County Sheriff’s Office

Rosa Lee Crabtree: A Cold Case Reexamined In November 2005, the quiet community of Rougemont, North Carolina, was shattered by the homicide of Rosa Lee Crabtree, a 68-year-old widow devoted to her church and community. Ms Rosa Lee was found brutally murdered inside her ransacked home. Items, including electronics and jewelry, were stolen, yet despite initial leads, the investigation went cold. Now, just over two decades later, the Durham County Sheriff's Office is re-examining the case with fresh eyes, leveraging advanced forensic science and modern DNA tools to bridge the gap and finally bring closure to a family that refuses to let "Miss Rosa Lee" be forgotten. Anyone with information regarding the 2005 murder of Rosa Lee Crabtree is urged to contact the Durham County Sheriff's Office.

AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
