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.

Brant Baird can barely remember his mom, Nancy Perry Baird. She vanished in 1975, when Brant was just 4. For nearly 50 years, Brant lived under the belief serial killer Ted Bundy abducted and murdered Nancy. That changed when COLD picked up Nancy’s case. Now, the daughters of a former cop are confronting a dark shadow from their past. And Brant is left to ask, “if Ted Bundy didn’t kill Nancy Baird, then who?”
