About this episode

This episode explores the Texas Killing Fields, a site of multiple unsolved disappearances of women over decades.

is episode explores the Texas Killing Fields, a stretch of land between Houston and Galveston where multiple women were found over decades. What began as isolated disappearances—like Heidi Fye, Laura Miller, and Audrey Cook—eventually revealed a disturbing pattern centered around Calder Road. Despite early suspicions and a key suspect, Clyde Hedrick, the case went unresolved for years due to limited technology and investigative gaps. In 2026, a new arrest brought movement, but with Hedrick’s death, the question of justice remains unsettled. 🎬 References Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields (Netflix) The Killing Fields (2011 documentary) KHOU, ABC13, Houston Public Media KPRC/Click2Houston, KVUE, KENS5 Dateline NBC, 48 Hours Yahoo News, AOL
