I’m going to tell you the story of the Burger Chef Murders and what happened to Ruth Shelton, Danny Davis, Mark Flemmonds, and Jayne Friedt in hopes that someone, somewhere, listening to this podcast, might hold the single piece of information needed to reinvigorate this case.
But I want to be clear upfront on what you’re going to get. I’m not going to get deep into the theories or name suspects, those stories have been told. This is a story about Ruth, Danny, Mark, and Jayne. But along with telling you their story, I’m also going to take you alongside the investigation, a place we armchair detectives don’t often get to see. To show you the people who haven’t given up on this case, what they’re doing to try and solve it, and what obstacles get in the way when detectives try to take a new approach at solving a 41-year-old cold case. This is Red Ball.
