  • Had high hopes for this podcast

    I had high hopes for this podcast, but unfortunately it fell flat. The speakers consistent tone creates a steady if somewhat unvarying delivery throughout the podcast.

  • Stupid words!!

    I enjoyed this podcast, but when I am reading words, like unhoused, I’m done the word is homeless, not unhoused it’s called homeless and I don’t understand why so many are using these stupid words. They are stupid. The word is homeless, not an housed, homeless.

  • Good Podcast

    Has a different format than other Missing Persons podcasts. Works very well, imo, very professional and yet allows the vulnerability of survivors to come to the surface in a very respectful manner. Good job.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tanner Sharp
Q: What evidence did the police uncover in the initial stages of the case?
The police conducted limited interviews related to his credit card usage and locations, but no solid sightings or remains were found for a long time, and the car was not immediately linked to him or reported missing for several months.
Tanner Sharp
Q: What happened when Tanner decided to leave and move back to Kansas?
Sommer explains that Tanner left abruptly after a confrontation about paying rent and responsibilities, and that he claimed to be heading to Kansas where a friend had a job lined up, though his actual whereabouts soon after were unclear and later contradicted by phone records.
Tanner Sharp
Q: Can you tell listeners a little bit about Tanner and your memories of him?
Sommer describes Tanner as quiet, introverted, health-conscious, and a homebody who enjoyed video games and biking, and she recalls his difficulty adapting to new living situations and his preference for staying with family or friends rather than striking out on his own.
John Brent McGhee
Q: What happened the day he was last seen and what do we know about who he was with?
He was seen leaving the house with a friend towards the home of his wife's best friend, and was not seen again; the last confirmed witnesses were Brent and the Sandbox Brother, who denies involvement.
John Brent McGhee
Q: Can you start off just telling listeners a little bit about Brent and what was going on in his life prior to him going missing?
Brent was a family-oriented, outdoorsy man who faced struggles with drug dependency and faced marital strain; he had recently married and was trying to get his life together amidst some rocky times.
