  198: Missing Since 2005: The Disappearance of Heather Bloom | With Jules from Your Host Jules

  Jun 30, 20261h 16mS4

  In 2005, 28-year-old Heather Bloom—a woman with Down syndrome who relied on full-time care—was last seen in Berkeley, California. Although police documented a disturbance at the apartment she shared with her sister and caregiver, Heather wasn't reported missing until four years later by her mother after she said she hadn't seen or spoken to her daughter since 2005. In this episode, we examine the timeline, the unanswered questions, the legal challenges investigators faced, and why Heather's case remains one of the most unusual missing persons cases in California. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Heather Bloom, please contact: Berkeley Police Department 📞 510-981-5938 Sharing missing persons cases keeps names and faces in front of the public. Even the smallest piece of information could help investigators move a case forward. Please share Heather's story. Your Host Jules (4) Instagram Facebook Thank you to Jules Thorp for joining us and sharing about Heather Blooms disappearance.

  194: Beyond the Crime LIVE - Where There’s Hope, There’s a Way: The 46-Year Fight for Loretta Jones

  Jun 2, 202628 minS4

  Recorded live at Beyond the Crime 2026 in Albuquerque, Like Mother, Like Murder shares the story of Loretta Jones, a 23-year-old single mother murdered in Price, Utah on July 30, 1970, and the decades-long pursuit of justice led by her daughter, Heidi. After four-year-old Heidi found Loretta’s body and told investigators “Tom did it,” suspect Tom Egley was arrested but released for lack of evidence. Nearly 40 years later, Heidi reignited the case with Detective David Brewer, overcoming missing evidence and fading witnesses. In 2016, Loretta’s exhumation drew renewed attention, and Egley’s Colorado neighbor recorded conversations in which he confessed. Egley ultimately confessed to police, was arrested at 76, and pled guilty—solving the cold case without DNA and underscoring Heidi’s message: where there’s hope, there’s a way.
