COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The first episode of a brand-new Columbus Police cold case podcast, titled “The 5th Floor,” examines the case of 8-year-old Kelly Ann Prosser who went missing on September 20, 1982.
The podcast was the brainchild of Deputy Chief Greg Bodker, who hosts the episodes along with Officers Greg Colarich and Stephanie Lubell.
NBC4 is recapping the episode in an effort to bring more attention to the case.
Another reason we wanted to do this podcast is to remind the public, and more importantly the suspects, that our department will never stop working on these cases. Just because they are considered cold doesn’t mean that they are put away and forgotten about. Our detectives will never stop trying to solve these cases and find those responsible. We will never stop hunting for you, and we will find you.
Officer Stephanie Lubell, Columbus Police, host “The 5th Floor”
