PODCAST | 5 Roses: 2 women, 50 years, Gone Cold

 >>>SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST<<<

Newlywed bride, Mary Shotwell Little, vanished from Atlanta's famous Lenox Square parking lot in 1965. A year and a half later, Diane Shields was found brutally murdered inside the trunk of her own car, parked next to a busy East Point laundry mat. 

Atlanta would never be the same. 

While they would never meet, their stories would forever impact the booming city of Atlanta—creating an intense fear among women throughout the 1960s. The crimes would change the metro's landscape of false security, amid the shadows of alleged corruption, sex scandals and murder.

More than 50 years later, their cases have Gone Cold.  

11Alive Investigative Digital Journalist, Jessica Noll, spent the last year digging into their cold cases to find out if they're connected in a seven-chapter podcast series: 5 Roses. A new chapter will be released each Friday throughout December 2018, into January 2019.

5 Roses is part of Gone Cold—an ongoing digital series, where Noll investigates some of the most infamous and lesser-known cold cases in Georgia. She's digging for answers for the still-grieving families who long for them, and for the victims who have never found their justice.
