Still Searching: Penny Tomes and the Cold Case of Terri Howell

In this gripping episode, Penny Tomes opens up about the decades-old mystery surrounding the disappearance and tragic death of her mother-in-law, Teri Howell, a case that still haunts Daviess County, Kentucky. With courage and vulnerability, Penny shares her family’s ongoing search for truth, the emotional toll of unanswered questions, and the hope that justice might still be served.

We explore the known facts of the case, its impact on the Howell family, and why it remains unsolved after all these years. Penny also speaks to the importance of community awareness, the value of persistence, and how her faith has sustained her through unimaginable uncertainty.

This is more than a story about a cold case—it's about love, legacy, and the fight to bring closure to a family left in the dark for too long.
