Missouri’s attorney general and the FBI have announced new cold case playing cards for prisons and the public aimed at solving cold cases. Several of the cases involve Columbia murders.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway says when cold cases are solved, it can bring needed closure to the families who live with the pain of the unknown. More than 25 states have participated in the FBI’s program.
One of the cold cases is Columbia’s October 2021 murder of Mizzou administrator James Hundle. The 52-year-old Hundle was shot to death in his home on Marble Cedars drive, near Scott Boulevard and Longview park. Hundle served as an assistant to the vice chancellor and dean of Mizzou’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
Another cold case playing card involves the September 2019 double homicide of Antonio Houston and Danielle Marine, who were shot to death near Columbia’s Rice road and McKee north of Clark lane. Another involves the gruesome March 2017 double killing of Michael Walker and his half-brother Jeffrey Jones at I-70 Drive Northwest and Garden drive.
The FBI, Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Missouri Department of Corrections and others are all involved in the effort.
