Twelve Years Cold: The Murders of Jacky Nguyen and Nhut Phan

Twelve Years Cold: The Murders of Jacky Nguyen and Nhut Phan

Author: The Fall Line® July 23, 2025 Duration: 33:15

Throughout July, we are re-sharing cases that still need attention and tips. This week, we are re-sharing an episode that first aired in 2022.

In part two of this two-part series, we cover the cold-case homicides of Birmingham, Alabama nail-salon owners Jacky Nguyen and Nhut Phan, who were killed in their store just after Christmas in 2010; their daughters, Linda and Thao, discuss possible theories in their parents' case, and what they've learned from authorities in the past 12 years. Thao and Linda want to know: who killed Jacky and Nhut? Was it just a robbery, or was there something more at stake?   If you have any information, contact Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama at 205-254-7777.

In the crowded landscape of true crime, The Fall Line: True Crime distinguishes itself by focusing intently on the cases that have slipped through the cracks. This investigative podcast, produced by The Fall Line®, dedicates its episodes to cold cases, unsolved murders, and missing persons who haven't received the sustained attention they deserve. The work goes beyond simply recounting facts; it involves deep, often years-long dives into the specifics of unsolved homicides, disappearances, and the stories of unidentified John and Jane Does. You'll hear directly from the people closest to these investigations-law enforcement officers who worked the original details, forensic experts explaining the science, dedicated victim advocates, and, most importantly, the families still living with the unresolved loss. Each season is built on meticulous research and interviews that piece together not only what might have happened, but also the complex reasons why answers remain elusive. The narrative is driven by a commitment to thoroughness and respect, aiming to bring new clarity to long-forgotten files. By listening to this podcast, you become part of a process that seeks to restore names to the nameless and pursue justice for the overlooked, all through careful, persistent storytelling that treats every case with the gravity it has always warranted.
