Brother of 1983 Boulder Homicide Victim Launches Podcast for Cold Cases
Robert Wells, whose brother Sid Wells was murdered in Boulder in 1983, is launching a new podcast called "The Casebook Files" to seek justice for cold case victims, beginning with his brother's unsolved homicide.
Denver, CO, September 25, 2026 —
A new podcast aimed at bringing renewed attention to unsolved homicides has been launched by Robert Wells. The initiative, titled “The Casebook Files,” seeks to provide a platform for justice for victims of cold cases, with a particular focus on the unsolved murder of Wells’ own brother, Sid Wells, in Boulder in 1983.
The podcast’s debut episode is expected to delve into the details surrounding Sid Wells’ death, a crime that has remained a cold case for over four decades. Robert Wells’ stated intention is to use the podcast as a tool to re-examine evidence, potentially uncover new leads, and advocate for the victims and their families who continue to seek closure.
Information regarding the specific release date of “The Casebook Files” or details about co-hosts or additional investigative personnel involved in the podcast’s production was not immediately available. The podcast’s objective is to highlight the ongoing struggles faced by families of victims whose cases have gone cold, often due to insufficient evidence or resources at the time of the crime.
By focusing on his brother’s case as the inaugural subject, Wells aims to draw public interest and potentially encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward. The broader goal of “The Casebook Files” is to serve as a voice for other cold case victims and their families, hoping to reignite dormant investigations through public engagement and media outreach. The podcast’s establishment marks an effort to leverage modern media platforms for the pursuit of justice in long-unsolved cases.
