Sheryl “Mac” McCollum presented the 25-year-old melissa Wolfenbarger Cold case

April 29th, 1999. A skull is found in a trash bag outside Action Glass in Atlanta, Georgia. Soon after, in different trash bags, various other body parts are found.

The remains are identified as the remains of Melissa Wolfenbarger, a 21-year-old married mother of two who is reported missing several months prior. In a remarkable twist, Melissa’s remains are verified only after her father is arrested in connection to an unrelated murder.

Zone 7 celebrates its 100th episode in alignment with the arrest that solved the 25-year-old case of Melissa Wolfenbarger. Crime Scene Investigator Sheryl McCollum is joined by Norma and Tina, the mother and sister of Melissa Wolfenbarger to discuss the complexities of the cold case, the unwavering dedication from numerous supporters involved, and ultimately what led to the arrest of Melissa’s husband, Christopher Wolfenbarger.

 

Crime Scene Investigator Sheryl McCollum has worked tirelessly to keep this case in the public eye. After our event, someone contacted her, the information was passed on to the police, and an arrest was made. For more information, listen to the 100th Episode Special of “Mac’s” podcast, Zone 7.
