I completely forgot that I made my own personal audio recordings of the Cold Case Virtual Season 8 years ago when the original site was still up. I recently turned the two missing episodes into audio PowerPoint slides. I recently learned how to create audio files in PowerPoint, so I am now in the process of upgrading my Cold Case episodes. Unfortunately, these Power Points are too large to attach here. If anyone is interested in these audio files, please send me a private message with an e-mail address. Fair warning, 8-4 and 8-5 are not the best recording quality as I recorded them off of a secondary device. So, if anyone knows what happened to the original print copies of these two episodes, please let me know so that I might fix my own presentations.

So, it seems demand for these audio presentations is not exactly skyrocketing. Let me state here once and for all that I do not charge for these presentations. I make no money off of the Cold Case Virtual Season 8; I never intended to make money off of this. This is just a passion that I have had for several years because I thought the show deserved a better ending. Even if I wanted to make money off of this, I would most likely face serious copyright claims due to the amount of music and background audio that I use.
The audio presentations consist of my slightly adlibed narrations of the five acts of each episode. Flashback sequences also play featured music just like in the show or I use selections from the Cold Case Soundtrack. I also treat listeners to a brief commentary after each episode. I suppose I could just post those After the Show segments here as messages, but I just thought the audio component would be a nice addition.
I thought about learning how to post these presentations on YouTube, but, once again, copyright laws.

AFTER THE SHOW ?
I don't really know what to put here; mostly I am just trying to keep these episodes in order with this.
I suppose I could do a brief plot summary. This episode is set in 1998 around the time of the now infamous beating death of openly gay college student Matthew Shepard The episode focuses on Jayde Stanley, a girl was recently abandoned by her family when she came out as a lesbian and took refuge at Rainbows, an LGBT-friendly bookstore. The bookstore burns down with Jayde inside killing her as a result. The fire took place shortly after the Matthew Shepard attack causing some confusion among the original detectives as to weather this was straight arson or a hate crime.
As an interesting side note, the episode featured a brief appearance by Cip Crawley from Season 1 Episode 20: "Greed". I remember this because I had trouble placing the name at first.
