    Episode 90: So Long, Farewell
    Mar 22 2023
    Welcome to the final episode of Six Degrees of WTF! Yes, it's true. We've decided it's time for us to move on to other projects. True crime is too heavy! That said, we go out on a high note with a couple of interesting cases!
    Erin kicks things off with the case of David Snow, a Canadian antique store owner who one day closed up shop and disappeared. When he reappeared, he'd turned to a life of crime.
    After the break, O'Dell covers the case of the Yuba County Five (also known as the American Dyatlov Pass Incident). Five me went to watch their favorite college basketball team play one evening, and disappeared on their way home. Remains of four of the men were found several months later, and one man remains unaccounted for to this day.
    For our final WTF story of the week, Erin covers a case of a young woman who went to great lengths to hide her smoking habit, and then we close out with a hypothetical and a few shower thoughts.
    We may be leaving this podcast behind, but we're not giving up completely! We just need lighter topics - the true crime stuff was getting too heavy. Keep an eye out for our new podcast, "Back Where We Belong" launching on Wednesday, May 10, 2023.
