#19 Who Killed Jean Cook

Georgia “Jean” Cook was a 56-year-old mother of two when she was murdered on October 6, 2005, while working at Busler’s gas station on Highway 41 North in Evansville, Indiana. For years, investigators with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office have tirelessly pursued leads, interviewed over 300 witnesses, and even traveled across state lines, but Jean’s killer remains at large. In this episode, I talk with Fred Cook, Jean’s son, as well as Andy Hinton, one of Jean’s co-workers and friends who actually spoke with Jean briefly after she was shot. We explore the details of the case, the impact on Jean’s family, and the ongoing hope that someone will finally provide the crucial piece of the puzzle needed to bring justice for Jean and closure for the family.
