Description
I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past, stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of the “good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one. This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case, focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.

Valuable Possessions: The Unsolved Disappearance of Paul "Max" Hibbard
2026/10/05
In May of 1976, a Colorado geologist gets a bizarre phone call from someone asking him to bring a specialized work truck to a remote part of Wyoming. Suspicious of the call, he brings it to his boss, who confirms that the person doesn't work for the company and the request is fake. Less than a week later, his legitimate work takes him to that same area of Wyoming, and he disappears. The months ahead would bring a series of ominous clues about what may have happened to him, but fifty years later, he has never been found.

Lured To Babysit: The Unsolved Abduction of Margaret Fox
2026/09/27
In the summer of 1974, two teenage cousins placed a classified ad offering their babysitting services. A man responded saying he was looking for someone to babysit his five-year-old son. When the younger girl’s parents weren’t comfortable with her traveling for the job, he moved on to her 14-year-old cousin, Margaret Fox.
Over the next several days, plans were made, canceled, and eventually rescheduled for a Monday morning. That morning, Margaret boarded a bus to a nearby town where she was supposed to meet the man’s wife and be brought back to their home.Margaret never came home.When her father called the number the man had given them, he discovered it went to a payphone outside of a grocery store. Then, in the days after Margaret disappeared, her family received a ransom demand, and police were able to record part of the caller’s voice. That recording still exists today.
More than 50 years later, Margaret has never been found. No one knows who the man was who arranged that babysitting job, whether the family he described even existed, or who was behind the ransom call that came after she disappeared.

Trouble at Rocky Comfort Creek: The Mysterious Disappearance of Bill “Bo Peep” Farrer
2026/09/21
On Friday the 13th of September 2002, a Georgia man vanished without a trace. Bill Farrer’s vehicle and fishing supplies were found abandoned at a quiet creek where he often went fishing. At first, it seemed like Bill may have suffered some kind of accident and drowned. But after an extremely thorough search of the shallow creek turned up nothing, that explanation started to seem less likely.
As the hours passed, Bill’s close-knit family started thinking back on some of the things that had happened in the years and months leading up to his disappearance. There were questions about whether Bill had stumbled into something he shouldn’t have, and just months earlier, he had been attacked by two men at that very same creek.
Bill lived a pretty simple life, but there was a lot more going on beneath the surface. More than two decades later, his family is still trying to figure out what happened to him that Friday morning.
TIPS: the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 478-625-7538 or Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Thomson Regional Investigative Office at 706-595-2575, or submit a tip through the GBI tip line at 1-800-597-TIPS

The Secret Trip: The Unsolved Disappearance of Patricia "Patti" Adkins
2026/09/14
In the summer of 2001, a woman clocks out of her shift at the Honda factory, eagerly anticipating a week away with her boyfriend. She had been telling her family about the trip for weeks and was so excited. They were going to spend some much-needed time together at a secluded cabin in Canada, and it would be the first time she and her boyfriend had been able to take a trip like this.
Her family did not expect to hear from her throughout the week, but when she didn’t return to pick up her daughter, they knew something was wrong. Suddenly, the strange details she had shared about the trip beforehand took on a more sinister meaning. The more her loved ones looked into what she had told them, the more disturbing it became.
This year marked 25 years without justice in her case, one where many people believe someone blatantly got away with murder.

Staten Island Serial Killer: The Unsolved Abduction of Ethel Atwell Part 2
2026/09/06
Andre Rand once worked at Willowbrook and would eventually become one of Staten Island’s most notorious convicted criminals. In this second and final part of Ethel Atwell’s story, I look at Rand’s criminal history, the cases connected to his name and the crimes for which he was charged.Many believe Rand was a serial killer responsible for multiple disappearances and murders across Staten Island. But what actually connects him to Ethel Atwell and Shin Lee? Was Rand responsible for both women, or has the focus on him allowed another killer to remain hidden?

Staten Island Serial Killer: The Unsolved Abduction of Ethel Atwell Part 1
2026/09/06
Before dawn, Ethel Atwell arrived at the Willowbrook State School for her shift and disappeared from the employee parking lot. Her murder would later become part of a much larger mystery surrounding the institution, the nearby woods and a series of missing and murdered women and children. Was convicted kidnapper and former Willowbrook employee Andre Rand responsible for Ethel’s death, or was another predator hunting in Willowbrook’s shadow?

Encountering Evil: The Cowden Family Murders
2026/08/31
A young family takes a spontaneous camping trip over Labor Day weekend in 1974. On Sunday morning, everything at their campsite looks normal. There are things from breakfast on the picnic table, a dishpan filled with water, children’s belongings, and a carton of milk bought just hours earlier. But by that evening, the entire family is gone. Their truck is still parked nearby. The keys, a wallet, and a purse have all been left behind. It looks like they stepped away from the campsite expecting to come right back.
The family was camping near Copper, Oregon, a tiny community within the Siskiyou National Forest that has since been inundated and buried beneath Applegate Lake. More than fifty years later, the full story of what happened there remains buried with it.

Abducted at the Arcade: The Unsolved Murder of Alexander Harris
2026/08/24
Just after Thanksgiving in 1987, a seven-year-old boy was traveling home to California with his family after spending the holiday in Las Vegas. Heavy traffic led the family to stop at a hotel and casino along the way. The hotel had an arcade, and his family set him up with a game while they waited. They believed he would be safe there. But shortly before they were ready to leave, he was gone.
Witnesses would later report seeing the boy leave the arcade hand-in-hand with an unknown man. An intensive search continued for weeks before ending with the worst possible outcome. In the years that followed, the case would take a complicated path toward justice. But nearly four decades later, no one has ever been held responsible.
TIPS: If you have any information on the abduction and murder of Alexander Harris in 1987, please contact the LVMPD Homicide Section at (702) 828-3521. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or visit crimestoppersofnv.com

The Job Offer: The Unsolved Murder of Sharmini Anandavel
2026/08/17
In the summer of 1999, a Toronto teenager leaves her house for what she believes is a new job. She is 15 years old, about to start high school, and had been eager to make some money over the summer. But that afternoon, she never comes home.It would take months of searching before Sharmini Anandavel's family would learn what happened to her. But they still wouldn't know who was responsible.Police would eventually come to believe that the job Sharmini thought she had that day wasn't actually a job at all. They believed someone may have used the offer to get her out of the house. And they had reason to look closely at the man who had connected Sharmini with that job in the first place.He was someone her family knew. Someone they trusted. And although police would come to consider him a strong suspect in Sharmini's murder, he has never been charged.

“He’s Just Awfully Naïve”: The Unsolved Murder of Debra Lynn O’Quinn
2026/08/10
On a May evening in 1979, an eighteen-year-old woman went car shopping with her dad. Afterward, he dropped her off at her apartment, and the two went through their usual routine. She went inside first, did a quick safety walk-through, and then came back outside to let her father know everything was okay and he was good to head home. It would be the last time he saw his daughter.
The next morning, her roommate returned to the apartment to pick her up for work. Instead, she found her roommate missing and a disturbing scene left behind. Months would pass before a pair of men doing target practice made a discovery that ended any remaining hope that she might still be out there somewhere. In the decades since, the investigation has gone down a number of different paths, including false confessions and possible connections to other murders in the area.
But when you strip all of that away and go back to the earliest days of the investigation, there are details that seem much more significant with the benefit of hindsight. And they leave you with one question: did investigators have the answer in front of them from the very beginning?

The Private Diary: The Unsolved Disappearance of Amber Wilde
2026/08/03
In the fall of 1998, a pregnant college student gets into a car accident. She is okay for the most part, but she hit her head on the windshield hard enough to leave a large bump. She checks in with her father, lets him know she visited the campus nurse, and nothing else seems amiss. Then suddenly, she and her car vanish. People wonder: was she more seriously injured than she realized, driving somewhere in a state of confusion? Or was something more sinister at play? When her car turns up abandoned with hundreds of unexplained miles on it and no sign of the mother-to-be, the clues seem to point to the latter. Now, nearly three decades later what happened to Amber remains one of Wisconsin's biggest mysteries but something Amber left behind herself may be the biggest clue investigators have to work with yet.

A Missing Nurse, A Missing Jeep: The Unsolved Disappearance of Audrey Herron
2026/07/20
In August 2002, thirty-one-year-old nurse Audrey Herron finished her shift, climbed into her Jeep Grand Cherokee, and began the 13-mile drive home on a rainy, foggy evening. She never arrived. From that night forward, neither Audrey nor her Jeep has ever been found. Some believe she was involved in a crash and that both she and her vehicle remain hidden somewhere within the region's waterways or rugged terrain despite years of extensive searches. Others believe she encountered someone on that dark drive home, or perhaps even after she arrived. Whatever happened, Audrey left behind a husband, family, friends, and three young children who have now grown into adults still searching for answers about what happened to their mother.

The Other Side of Exoneration: The Unsolved Murder of Jackie Harrison
2026/07/13
In the summer of 1987, a young New Jersey mother is found brutally murdered. The case shocks her community, but when an arrest is made not long afterward, many believe the person responsible has been caught. Decades later, advances in DNA testing reveal that the man convicted of her murder could not have been the killer. The discovery exposes a wrongful conviction, sends the investigation back to the beginning, and leaves her family once again searching for answers. Today, the hope is that the same evidence that freed the wrong man may finally identify the right one.
TIPS: New Jersey Crime Stoppers at (973) 267-2255 or Burlington Township Anonymous Tip Line (609) 386-2019.

The Path Off Deerfoot Road: The Unsolved Murder of Laralee Spear
2026/07/06
On an April afternoon in 1994, a fifteen year old Florida girl gets off her school bus at the entrance to the dirt road leading to her home. From there, she still had about a quarter mile to walk. The narrow road cut through thick Florida brush, with dense vegetation pressing in on both sides and tree branches overhead creating an almost continuous canopy. It was a walk she knew well and one that usually took only about five minutes. But this time, she never made it home. Later that same afternoon, after she was reported missing, a sheriff's helicopter found her body not far from where she had gotten off the bus. Investigators eventually arrested a suspect, but before the case could ever go to trial, the case against him unraveled. Today, 32 years later, detectives are still trying to figure out who killed her so close to home.
