Missing Persons

Episode 118 Jill Kloppenburg 
 
In early January, 2025, 47 year old Jill Kloppenburg went missing from Lowell, MA, and has not been seen since. Jill had been battling addiction, and recent losses in her life compounded the issue. When she vanished, she was staying with someone temporarily, and some reports say that she was worried for her personal safety right before she vanished. Jill left behind some of her belongings, and has not been on social media. At least one person made the claim that Jill had died from an overdose, but it was never proven, and she remains missing.
Jill's friend Ann is the guest in this episode, and she describes the collective efforts to find out what happened to Jill. 
At the time she went missing, Jill was described as a White female, standing 5ft3 with Brown hair and Blue eyes. She weighed 120 pounds. She has a tattoo on her lower back of a tribal design, and a tattoo on her inner groin of two hearts with faces inside each heart.
If you have information about Jill, please contact the Tewksbury Police Dept (978) 851-7373.
A $5000 reward has been offered in this case.

Introducing: The Trail Went Cold; The Boys on the Tracks
August 23, 1987. Saline County Arkansas. 16-year old Don Henry and 17-year old Kevin Ives
head into the woods to do some late-night hunting, but never return. Hours later, the two boys are seen lying on some railroad tracks before they are run over by a cargo train and the medical
examiner concludes they had fallen asleep after smoking marijuana and their deaths were
accidental. However, Don and Kevin's families push for a new investigation, which uncovers
evidence that they were violently attacked before their bodies were placed on the tracks.
Throughout the years, a number of conspiracy theories emerge to suggest the boys were
murdered as part of a cover-up involving drug trafficking, but no one is ever charged with the
crime. "The Trail Went Cold" released a two-part episode about this convoluted story for their
five-year anniversary show.

This is a preview of The Trail Went Cold's coverage of the case and you can find the rest of the
story by subscribing to The Trail Went Cold wherever you listen to podcasts or by visiting their
