  • Episode 22 - the Larrikin of Larrimah
    Oct 7 2022

    CW: Language...more than 1 f-bomb. Sorry, not sorry.
    TW: This episode contains a vague discussion of harm to animals.

     Just about everything was exactly where it needed to be. But instead of things missing, there were a few things about that one did not normally see just laying there. Things that were normally on their friend's person,  like his hat, his wallet, his keys, and his glasses. His personal effects were there. But where was their friend? And come to think of it, where was his dog?

  • Episode 21 - My Friend, Christie
    Sep 30 2022

    The young girl walked from her family’s modest apartment toward the home of her friend that was just three short blocks away. As she bounded down the sidewalk, she was clutching a newly acquired treasure she had just received from her aunt. Her mother, Laura,  watched as the girl turned to smile at her, and wave goodbye, It was unseasonably warm and the radiant sunlight bounced off the girl’s short hair, making it shine impossibly bright. Christie would be home in time for dinner, she promised. And Christie never broke a promise. Laura watched her daughter until she was no longer in view, and, satisfied her daughter was safe on her path, Laura closed the door and set about spending the afternoon with her younger son. Little did Laura realize that in just a few short hours, her world would be turned completely upside down.

    Our BOLO this week is Michael Joseph "Monkey" Vaughn, missing from Fruitland, Idaho. If you know where little Michael may be, please call the Fruitland Police Department and give her family some peace.

  • WTFriday - The Unsolved Murder of Blair Adams
    Jun 24 2022

    CW: mentions murder and possible sexual assault

    Prior to the summer of 1996, Blair Adams of Surrey, British Columbia seemed to have a lot going for him. He had many friends, a job he enjoyed and was good at, and was close with his family. However, in June, something happened that started Blair to change drastically. Confiding in friends, he said someone was out to kill him.  When his mother asked if he was alright, he was evasive. After a couple of failed attempts, Blair made it to the US and made a cross-country, nonsensical journey where it seems his deepest fear came true. Join us as we look further into this 28-year-old unsolved case.

    Our BOLO this week is Tamara Bell, missing from Little Rock, AR. If you know where Tamara may be, please call the Little Rock Police Department and give her family some peace.

  • WTFriday - The Keddie Cabin Murders
    Jun 17 2022

    Glenna Susan "Sue" Sharp escaped a tumultuous life when she left an allegedly abusive marriage for good. Soon, Sue and her children (John, Sheila, Tina, Rick and little Greg Sharp) were living in Keddie, California in the Sierra Mountains. But the chaos and danger were not over yet. Even with Sue being a homebody, she would cross paths with dangerous people. On April 11, 1981, danger would come calling. When Sheila came home from a friends house to grab some clothes for church, her entire world would be turned upside down the second she opened her front door and saw a most horrific scene in here living room. 41 years later, and there are still no arrests. Is that due to a bungled investigation? Was there a cover up? Was the killer (or, more likely, killers) really that clever to get away with a grisly murder?

  • WTFriday - They Just Vanished! Adam Hecht and Lars Mittank
    Jun 10 2022

    Today we are doing two stories in one episode. First we are talking about Adam Hecht, a progeny of Hollywood royalty, who had an epiphany about the unfairness of circumstances of others around him. Adam really wanted to make a difference and help others. And then, he disappeared without a trace. Next we do a quick cover of Lars Mittank, who got into a scuffle one night while on vacation in another country. Days later, security cameras caught him dashing out of an airport, never to be seen again. What happened to these two young men? 

    Our weekly BOLO today is for Wade Taylor from Alamogordo, New Mexico.
