    70: Case Updates: Rachel Hansen & Madelina Cojocari
    Dec 16 2024
    For the final episode of Detective Perspective for 2024, we wanted to give everyone a few updates in two cases we covered this year: The case of Rachel Hansen, and the disappearance of Madalina Cojocari.

    At around 2:00 A.M. on June 4, 2022, a gunman entered Rachel Hansen’s apartment, located at 1900 South Coronado Road in Gilbert, Arizona, and shot her once while she was sleeping.

    Anyone with information in Rachel’s murder should leave an anonymous tip by calling Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS. There is a $15,000 reward available.

    The last official sighting of Madalina Cojocari was on November 21, 2022, when she was seen getting off the school bus near her house, located at 18413 Victoria Bay Drive in Cornelius, North Carolina.

    Madalina is white, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed 90 pounds and stood at 4’10”. She was last seen wearing jeans, pink, purple and white Adidas shoes, and a white t-shirt and jacket.

    If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of Madalina Cojocari, please contact the Cornelius Police Department at (704) 892-7773. You can also contact your local FBI office or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

  • 69: MURDER: Matthew Flores

    69: MURDER: Matthew Flores
    Dec 9 2024
    On the morning of March 24, 1994, 26-year-old Matthew Flores, a former Army lieutenant and Gulf War veteran, parked his rented car outside his new workplace in Santa Clara, California. Moments later, he was shot execution-style as he leaned into the car to grab his jacket. The parking lot was full of employees starting their day, yet no one saw the shooter.

    Security footage revealed a dark Ford Explorer circling the lot suspiciously around the time Matt was killed, but unfortunately, his murder was not captured on camera.

    Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have ever been identified publicly. It’s been over 30 years since Matt was killed, and investigators are still searching for the killer...

    On the morning of March 24, 1994, Matt Flores was killed in the parking lot of Applied Materials in Santa Clara, California. He was shot in the head with a silver-jacketed hollow-point round. Surveillance footage captured a dark Ford Explorer circling the lot before and after the murder, but the vehicle was never identified.

    If you have any information in Matt’s case, please call Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-STOP. There is a reward available.

  • 68: MISSING: Sebastian Rogers

    68: MISSING: Sebastian Rogers
    Dec 2 2024
    On the morning of February 26, 2024, Katie Proudfoot went to wake up her 15-year-old son, Sebastian Rogers, for school. But when she entered his room, his bed was empty. She searched the rest of the house for him, but he was nowhere to be found.

    Katie called the police and a large-scale search began immediately. As hours turned into days, the search intensified, with hundreds of people combing the area near the family’s home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Despite their efforts, no trace of Sebastian has ever been found.

    It’s been nine months since Sebastian vanished, and investigators are still searching for him…

    15-year-old Sebastian Rogers was last seen on February 26, 2024, in the area of Stafford Court in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and black, square-framed glasses.

    At the time of his disappearance, Sebastian, who is a white male, was 5'5" tall, 120 lbs., with sandy hair and brown eyes.

    If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of Sebastian, please contact the Sumner County Sheriff's Office at (615) 451-3838, or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND. There is a reward available.

Derrick is one of my favorites in every format!

Very knowledgeable and respectful; detailed. Derrick is one of my 3 favorites in any format, one of the other 2 being Stephanie Harlowe, who he does Crime Weekly with. Kendall Rae is right there too. I appreciate all of your thoughtful work, Derrick!

Awesome Person, Awesome Podcast

I found Derrick through crime weekly. I will be a faithful follower of anything he or Stephanie does! I love how they make true crime with a purpose rather than just sensationalizing other people's tragedy. Your work is intended to help people whether to help solve cases or help others learn how to protect themselves. I am a huge fan and will continue to follow every episode.

Great podcast!

Love it, I can't wait to watch you develop this one as you have all your other endeavors. This is perfect for me to listen to on audible in between books. Sometimes I want something short in between books and this fits perfectly. Thank you and good luck!
