Three DeKalb County cold cases will be profiled by “Crime Watch Daily,” the nationally syndicated crime show hosted by Chris Hansen, formerly of “To Catch a Predator.”

The first cold case, which airs 10 a.m. Monday on Peachtree TV, will profile 35-year-old Shawndell McLeod. DeKalb authorities said McCleod went missing in 2011 after she left work.

“DeKalb detectives suspect foul play and have a person of interest, but need strong evidence to make an arrest,” police spokeswoman Shiera Campbell said.

The show will also profile the murders of Tameika Taylor, 27, and Jennifer Clemmings, 32, who both died from "very violent assaults," weeks apart in December 2002 and January 2003, respectively. Their episode airs 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Anyone with information on any of these cases is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 404-577-8477. Callers can remain anonymous.
