COLD

COLD host Dave Cawley provides a status update as the latest season draws to a close. Up next in the feed, we'll be sharing episodes of a new true crime show from KSL Podcasts. It's called Deceived: The Daybell Story, hosted by Nate Eaton of East Idaho News and produced by Ben Keubrick (lead producer of COLD season 3). Episodes of Deceived will begin appearing in the COLD podcast feed starting October 29.

Heidi Holmberg and Tori Riddle face their father in court, taking their power back decades after suffering abuse at Tom Jackson’s hands.

But even as Tom receives punishment from a judge, a new accuser emerges. The story she shares about her encounter with a former East Layton cop complicates the Nancy Baird investigation.



In this finale episode, the story returns to Nancy’s son Brant Baird and his search for answers about his missing mother. Tucked away in Nancy’s cedar chest, Brant discovers an epiphany.

The waiting game begins as former East Layton police officer Tom Jackson faces new criminal charges over allegations of child sex abuse against his daughters during the 1980s. A rift emerges among Jackson’s family, with some blood relatives refusing to believe he could be capable of such terrible acts.



Jackson’s comments to COLD also draw attention to Nancy Perry Baird’s ex-boyfriend, John Sparks, and his brother, Davis County Sheriff Kelly Sparks. COLD host Dave Cawley confronts Sheriff Sparks about the appearance of a possible conflict of interest.



And a one-time friend of Nancy Baird’s emerges as a possible witness to her presumed abduction. Could Guy Gailey have seen Nancy in her final moments?

The Nancy Baird case file, kept away from prying eyes for decades, is at last released to COLD in 2023. Contained within are surprise revelations about the last people known to have seen Nancy alive.

But when COLD host Dave Cawley’s investigation into the Nancy Baird case reached the family of former East Layton police officer Tom Jackson, the unexpected happened. Some of Jackson’s victims asked themselves the question: could Tom have been the person to abduct Nancy Baird? Did Tom Jackson hide behind the convenient alternative of Ted Bundy for five decades?

Meanwhile, a former deputy with an interest in cold cases approaches the sheriff, only to discover the sheriff has his own personal connection to the case.

Days before his execution, serial killer Ted Bundy denied knowing anything about the disappearance of Nancy Baird. That didn’t stop police and the press from declaring Bundy the killer. That folklore loomed large for Nancy’s son, Brant.

Meanwhile, one of the police officers who investigated Nancy’s case wandered a proverbial wilderness following his arrest for child sex crimes. In Idaho, Tom Jackson found a new family, among a community of people who knew nothing of his past.

Decades later, a surprise discovery a few miles from where Nancy Baird vanished cast fresh doubt on the common belief Ted Bundy did it.
