Full Episode
At around 6.40 in the morning, the front door is kicked in and someone shot my dad. He died immediately. The people never entered the house.
How do you know that it was multiple people?
These men tried to break into their house first. They were looking for his safe, trying to get money out of it. They spent about 40 minutes looking for this safe to then leave with nothing. go next door, kill someone. He was a confidential informant for the police. Makes this feel a little bit more like maybe the home invasion wasn't the point and killing my dad was the point.
hey this is matt cox and i am here with madison mcgee she is the host of ice cold case and she is investigating her father's murder and we're gonna get into it check out the interview i was born in wheeling west virginia which is where my parents met so they had met a couple years prior to that in a narcotics anonymous meeting which is similar to like aa
And they met there and hit it off and had both been kind of in the program for a while and started hanging out, started dating. Then I was born. They were never married, but they were together for a little bit. And then.
they ended up calling it and my mom moved like a few hours south to charleston west virginia and my dad stayed in like this wheeling area which is sort of like it's very confusing because it's wheeling west virginia and then right across the river is ohio so sometimes i'll say ohio and sometimes i'll say wheeling but it's that area and My dad was still very much part of my life.
They were still friends. They talked like quite a bit, but they just weren't meant to be in a relationship. And so I spent time with my dad. He would come down. I would go up and stay with him. I had a half sister on my dad's side that my dad had custody of. So I would see her a lot. And she was about nine years older than me. So she was definitely like a big sister, kind of like,
model figure for me um she was really fun and sort of in her like teenage rebellious phase but to me as like a kid that was like cool so she was like really cool um and so yeah that was like my family and it was a little fractured but to me it didn't feel weird it just felt like this is normal everyone does this i see my dad i still see my mom i have both of my parents whatever
And then when I was six years old, my dad was murdered and he was shot in the doorway of his home.
