Homicide 18-044037 Courtney Thomas

In the quiet aftermath of the 2017 holidays, as Florida's winter chill settled over Lee County's rural backroads, 38-year-old mother of three Courtney Thomas vanished from her boyfriend's Fort Myers home. Last seen on December 8th amid heated arguments over infidelity, Courtney messaged her sister: "If I end up dead or missing, you know who did it." Weeks later, on a crisp January morning in 2018, two teenage boys stumbled upon a shallow grave in the sugar sand woods of Charleston Park—a remote community with no ties to Courtney—unearthing her remains which had been there for weeks. On this episode of Seeking Closure: Lee County's Cold Cases it’s the murder of Courtney Thomas, featuring the 911 calls, witness accounts, and actual interviews. Plus a mystery of a text from beyond the grave, Courtney’s last words that you won’t forget, and a witness who was found deceased in the exact same area.  With leads gone cold, we're shining a light to spark tips and bring his killer to justice. Listen to Courtney Thomas’s Epis𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬.
