Fifty years. A handful of names that never quite go away. And the question I can't stop asking: when does a coincidence stop being a coincidence?

How can you understand a story if you don't have all the pieces?

Why have I been so quiet? That's a good question and I have an update for y'all.

The past always catches up. This episode breaks down how information has looped back around, connecting pieces of a puzzle that's been building for over six years.

  • Amazing

    I'm so addicted to this podcast. I don't even like true crime but this is something far more than the usual true crime fare. The connections between these cases, horrific tragedies really, is chilling and unsettling. You have to listen to understand.

  • Fascinating story, EXCELLENT reporting!

    I stumbled upon this podcast by accident and boy am I happy that I did. It starts off like a tragic whodunnit it but turns into one of the most jaw dropping stories I’ve ever heard. 10 out of 10 recommend!

    getting some static here, can I call you back?” and then does. Producers apparently unbothered to edit the s... more
