The Missing and Unexplained Podcast: Recent Episodes
Tyler Hooper
Jennifer and Adrianna Wix were last seen on March 25, 2004, at the Benton residence, Jennifer's boyfriend's family's house, in Springfield, Tennessee. On that day, Jennifer's father, Michael Wix, spoke with Jennifer on the phone, making him the last relative to have contact with her. Joey Benton, Jennifer's boyfriend at the time, and his parents, Joe and Cindy Benton, are allegedly the last known individuals to have seen Jennifer and Adrianna.
In this second part, the interview with Casey continues from where it left off in part 1. Casey discusses how her family became worried after not hearing from Jennifer and began suspecting something was wrong. In part 2, she talks about the panic that ensued when it became clear that something had happened to her sister and niece. She also shares details about their last known whereabouts and movements.
There is a $25,000 reward for information in the case. Call the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 615-384-7981 if you know anything. Also, please follow Justice for Jennifer and Adrianna Wix on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. There's also a GoFundMe you can donate to to help with the investigation. Finally, you can sign a petition supporting a search of the Benton property. Your support and involvement are crucial in our efforts to find Jennifer and Adrianna.

Joey Benton, Jennifer's boyfriend at the time, and his parents, Joe and Cindy Benton, are allegedly the last known individuals to have seen Jennifer and Adrianna.
Since March 2004, there have been no confirmed sightings of Jennifer and Adrianna since they were last seen at the Benton residence. This has been a heart-wrenching journey for Jennifer's family, who have been tirelessly searching for answers. Over the years, many people have come forward with information that has led Jennifer's family to believe that foul play was involved. The behaviour of the last people to have seen Jennifer and Adrianna also raises suspicions. Casey, Jennifer's sister, has pieced together in great detail all of the relevant information surrounding her sister and niece's disappearance, a task that has taken a toll on her emotionally.
There is a $25,000 reward for information in the case. Call the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 615-384-7981 if you know anything.

This week, I have a baffling case for you.
The last time Natalie saw her sister, Katherine Berry, was when she was only a few months old. When Natalie became a teenager, she was told that Katherine was missing, and her heart was shattered.
Natalie has dedicated many years to searching, praying, and thinking about Katherine. In December 2022, she discovered that a missing person's report was not on file for her. Undeterred, she gathered as much basic information as possible, drove to the Muskogee police station, and filed the missing person's report for her (Case#: 2023-10570, Namus: MP103987).
Pinning down the exact date and circumstances surrounding Katherine's disappearance is tricky. Natalie thinks her sister Katherine went missing sometime around February of 1987 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Katherine would have been a senior in high school and had just turned 18 years old.
Natalie has spent the last year gathering more information about Katherine, sifting through rumours and facts, and speaking to whoever would speak to her. Natalie and her mother also contributed their DNA to a database to compare the DNA of unidentified remains across the country, but there has yet to be a match.
If you have any information that might be helpful, contact Natalie through the "Where is Katherine Berry Facebook Page" or call the Muskogee Police Department at 918-683-8000.

Today's show focuses on the missing person, Ian Indridson. Ian is a 56-year-old Caucasian man who is five feet, eleven inches tall and has a slim build. He has salt-and-pepper hair, short at the time of his disappearance. On January 10, 2022, Ian disappeared in the Fairfield area of Victoria. At that time, he wore a dark-coloured Eddie Bauer sweater, sweatpants and rubber boots. I worked briefly with Ian, and in our few conversations, he always struck me as kind, smart and funny. I spoke to his wife, Gloria, about his uncharacteristic disappearance.
If you have any information about where Ian may be and have yet to speak with officers, please call the Victoria Police at (250) 995-7654, extension 1. Alternatively, you can report anonymously by calling Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or submitting a tip online on their website. I also encourage you to visit the "Find Ian Indridson" Facebook page and the GoFundMe link in the show notes. Gloria is using the GoFundMe to retain the services of a private investigator who is helping in the search for Ian. Please consider donating if you have the resources to do so.
It is important to remember that if you see Ian, you call the Victoria Police and report the sighting. Let's all be vigilant and do our best to find Ian and bring him back safely.

Today, I have a very special guest: Amanda Knox.
For those of you who don't know Amanda, she is an exoneree, journalist, public speaker, and author of the best-selling memoir, "Waiting to Be Heard."
Between 2007 and 2015, Amanda spent nearly four years in an Italian prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn't commit. The controversy over Amanda's case made international headlines and unwillingly thrust her into the public spotlight, where she was vilified and shamed.
Amanda now works to shed light on the issues of wrongful conviction, truth-seeking, and public shaming. Her essays and journalism have been published in major publications like USA Today, the L.A. Times, The Atlantic, The Independent, The Free Press, the Seattle Times, and Seattle Magazine.
Amanda is also the co-host of the podcast "Labyrinths." In Labyrinths, Amanda and her co-host Christopher Robinson delve into stories of getting lost and found again through compassionate interviews, philosophical rants, and playful debate with fascinating people.
I invited Amanda on my show to talk about a five-part series she did in her Labyrinths podcast, "Blood Money," which looks at the history and evolution of true crime content and the many ethical dilemmas that appear when creating and consuming true crime.
"Blood Money" is a must-listen for any creator or consumer of accurate crime content. I was so grateful that Amanda agreed to come on the podcast to talk about how the series came about, her struggles with her own story being exploited by content creators, and how we can all strive to be more ethical when creating and consuming accurate crime content.
Enjoy my interview with Amanda!

I have a very intriguing episode for you this week; I interviewed Dr. Rachael Hanel about Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA).
Rachael is a former newspaper reporter and copy editor and teaches Creative Writing at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She is the author of more than 20 nonfiction books for children. Her first adult book is "We'll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down: Memoir of a Gravedigger's Daughter." She's also the author of "Not the Camilla We Knew," a book about Camilla Hall, a pastor's daughter from small-town Minnesota who eventually joined the ranks of the notorious Symbionese Liberation Army before dying in a shootout with Los Angeles Police in May 1974.
The SLA, an American militant far-left organization active in California between 1973 and 1975, kidnapped Patty Hearst, the granddaughter of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, from her Berkley dorm in February of 1974. A bizarre story followed, including extortion and Hearst joining the SLA as one of its members. The saga climaxes with a bank robbery gone awry.
I had heard of the SLA and Patty Hearst in passing before talking to Rachael, but I had no idea just how incredible and strange this story is. Rachael was kind enough to walk me through what happened in 1974 and how much of what happened is still relevant fifty years later.

On October 22, 2013, Dean Kelly Morrison disappeared after leaving his job as a painter at the 2600-hectare Stump Lake Ranch between Merritt and Kamloops. He is a 44-year-old father of three who had been living in a trailer on the ranch's property. Despite extensive search efforts, Morrison's disappearance remains a mystery to his family.
It's alleged that on the day he was let go, he had an altercation with the ranch's foreman. It's also alleged that on the day Dean went missing, the Stump Lake Ranch foreman contacted members of Dean's family, asking them to get rid of his truck and trailer; the foreman eventually called a tow truck to have Dean's truck and trailer taken away. His sister reported him missing on October 28.
Despite air and several ground searches and hiring a private investigator, no concrete evidence has been found to explain why Morrison disappeared. His sister had given him a bottle of Ativan pills to help him cope with personal stress, including his marriage breaking up, but the family does not believe that he would have willingly vanished; he told his mother before he disappeared that he would never leave his children.
Dean's mother, Elizabeth, told me that when the family first reported Dean missing, both the ranch foreman and later the police informed her that Dean had committed suicide despite having no physical evidence to prove this. The case remains open.
Please visit the Facebook page "Missing: Dean Kelly Morrison" for more information about Dean's case.
Any information regarding Morrison's disappearance should be reported to Kamloops RCMP at 250-314-1800.

Today, on the show, I have Canadian author Tim Marczenko. Tim has written two books, "Disembodied Voices: True Accounts of Hidden Beings" and "Gone Cold: Death and Disappearances in the Northwoods." I wanted Tim on the show to talk about his latter book, "Gone Cold," which looks at cold, missing person cases in my home province, Ontario. Tim's book is incredibly gripping and exhaustively researched.
I was delighted he wanted to come on the show to discuss his book, the writing process, and some of the cases he's spent so much time researching.
You can find both Tim's books on Amazon in print and audio format; you can also find Tim on Facebook and Instagram.

Happy New Year! I wanted to start 2024 with a mystery I have always been fascinated with.
In December of 1900, in the Flannan Islands on Eilean Mor, three lighthouse keepers, James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald MacArthur, vanished in stormy weather and without a trace off the remote northwest coast of Scotland.
Theories range that the men perished due to supernatural forces, inhabiting the Island since pre-Christian times. Or a conflict broke out between the men, and they murdered each other in a rage. And finally, some think they were blown over the side of a cliff in a gale or swept away by a giant wave during a storm.
I was lucky enough to speak with Keith McCloskey, author of "The Lighthouse: The Mystery of the Eilean Mor Lighthouse Keepers." Keith's book is a tremendously gripping narrative rooted in his original historical research. Keith has written many books on aviation history and mysteries and another famous mystery, the Dyatlov Pass. You can check out Keith's books on his website, keithmccloskey.com. You can also find him on Facebook on his author page as Keith McCloskey.

51-year-old Patricia Duncan, a mother of seven, went missing from Buckie, a coastal Scottish town, sometime on November 16, 2002. It’s reported she walked out of her home into the cold and rain with her cigarettes and brown sheepskin jacket. It’s believed she was also wearing black pants and black shoes.
Patricia is approximately 5’4 in height, with a slim build and fair complexion. Her family says she had no reason to leave the house, and her missing is incredibly out of character.
There was a large search of the region for Patricia. Still, despite an extensive police investigation, including cadaver dogs and an underwater search team, no clues have been found about what may have happened to Patricia.
If you have any information, please get in touch with Police Scotland on 101 or via their website. If you prefer to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or use their online reporting service. Alternatively, phone/text the Missing People 24/7 helpline at 116 000 or email 116000@missingpeople.org.uk, quoting reference 03-000100.

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Laurah Norton's new book: "Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless." Laurah, also the host of The Fall Line and One Strange Thing Podcasts, has written a riveting book about how investigators, experts, and forensic scientists identify Jane or John Doe Cases. In her book, she focuses on one case in particular, Ina Jane Doe, whose partial remains were found in a state park in Illinois in January of 1993. The incredible part? Laurah and her team of experts managed to figure out who Ina was. Now, they are hoping to solve her murder.
You can find Laura's book, Lay Them to Rest, where you get your books. I strongly recommend it to those looking for something passionately, meticulously researched, and written. Laurah has a background in creative writing and archival and primary research, which makes "Lay Them to Rest" a page-turner full of information I had never known about Doe and Cold Cases. You can find Laurah on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter – I've linked to all of her social, as well as the book, in the description. You can also find her at laurahnorton.com and check out her book on laythemtorestbook.com
Enjoy my interview with Laurah.

Natana (or Tana) Lynn Thomas went missing sometime in 1978, maybe in the summer, somewhere in Alaska or British Columbia. Natana and her husband, Mike Staso, who was stationed in the Army in Bremerton, Washington, went to Alaska to visit Mike's family. She told the family that on the way home to Tacoma, Washington, they would stop in B.C. and other places to do some sightseeing.
Natana, who is Indigenous and part of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, was born on March 14, 1954. She grew up in central California and also spent time in the Bay area. She was married to a man named Mohammad Matar for a brief period before her marriage to Mike.
There are not many theories on what happened to Natana and Mike, but one of the prevalent theories is that Mike may not have been super happy in his military career, and they went AWOL. There are also darker theories that they may have gone missing due to foul play.
To the family's knowledge, neither person was reported missing.
I interviewed Tana's cousin, Lorri, about her disappearance.

Danielle Sleeper has been Missing from Magnolia, Texas, since March 22, 2015. She was last seen at a barbecue in a trailer she attended with her son and husband, whom she invited later into the evening. At some point, her husband wanted her to leave, but Danielle wanted to stay and stay over with their friends. An argument broke out, and Danielle acquiesced in going with her husband. She left her suburban vehicle, which she had taken separately, and got into her husband's Ford F-350 pickup truck. They left the party sometime around 1 a.m.
The next day, family and friends were concerned when they hadn't heard from Danielle. She was usually incredibly responsive. When the husband returned to the trailer park, some of Danielle's friends asked him where she was. He gave an odd answer when he told them she tends to make friends and disappear.
Danielle's family also became suspicious and decided to visit Danielle's house. They found the home in disarray and her husband, Austin, acting strange. Police were called, but to this day, there have been no clear answers on what happened to Danielle or where she may be. Danielle's family says there is no way she would have left her three boys of her own volition. There is a $21,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.
If you know anything about Danielle's disappearance, please contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 936-760-5876. Also, please check out the Bring Danielle Home Facebook page for more information on Danielle's case.
I spoke to Tannah, Danielle's sister, about her disappearance.

16-year-old Damien Nettles went missing on a cold, rainy night on November 2, 1996, in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, an Island just off the southern coast of England. His movements were well documented by CCTV camera footage up to midnight on November 2.
That night, Damien had gone to a party with a friend. Later that evening, Damien and his friend left the party early and headed over to West Cowes, having bought some cider to drink. They wandered the streets for a few hours before parting company at around 10:30 p.m. He is last seen on High Street, in Cowes, just after midnight.
There are rumours that foul play may be involved in Damien's disappearance. After a local drug dealer died in 2002, rumours that he may have been responsible started to surface. In 2011, Hampshire Police made eight arrests for conspiracy to murder, but after an extensive bail period, all suspects were released without charge. When the police made the arrests, the case was elevated to suspected murder. They searched one property. Later, they reverted it to Missing Person status. Valerie, Damien's mother, says the police have been exceedingly hard to deal with and declined to get involved or assist with any searches by the public on the family's behalf or participate in a BBC Documentary which aired in 2016.
If you know anything about his disappearance, please contact Hampshire Police on 101, quoting 'Operation Ridgewood.' If you prefer to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Also, please check out damiennettles.uk, the website and the Facebook group "Justice for Damien Nettles." Valerie is also on Twitter at @Valnettles1 – I've linked to all of these in the description. Valerie has also written a heart-wrenching book about her experience titled "The Boy Who Disappeared," which you can find on Amazon.

Today, I have a very unique episode for you. I saw a post on a cold case Facebook page that intrigued me. Angie has been searching for her mother, Connie Johnson, for decades.
Angie was given up for adoption at a young age and only recently, after exhaustive genealogical research, pieced together that her mother might be missing. Angie has spent years doing ancestral research, tracking down her biological family, and piecing together information about her mother. She’s done a tremendous job on her own, and she’s managed to locate many of her family members, including her dad and brother, but has yet to find out what happened to her mother.
Little is known about Connie Johnson’s disappearance. She likely went missing from Chicago or Boston sometime in 1979 or 1980. I will post a photo below, one of the last known photos of Connie , where she is with a man. Some think he may have had something to do with her disappearance.
Angie is looking for help with her tenacious search. She understands it’s unlikely her mother is still alive, but she really wants to know what happened to her. If you’re an amateur sleuth and possess some advanced genealogical research skills, reach out to Angie or me – I’ve linked her Facebook profile, with her permission: https://www.facebook.com/AngieM.Schmitz1
Here’s my interview with Angie.

Alex was last seen in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Alex's family had last contact with him on August 6, 2020. Some reports have placed him walking south, carrying grocery bags, on Van Buren St. by the Metro Market in Milwaukee. The last time he logged into Facebook was July 2020. He was 33 at the time. Alex has a history of substance use, and his mental health may have been poor when he went missing.
Alex is a Caucasian male with Black hair and brown eyes. He's about 6 feet tall and 175 pounds. He goes by Alex and Al. He has a small scar on his abdomen from pyloric stenosis surgery. He usually has facial hair. He loves sports, particularly baseball.

Patricia Marie Small went missing near Liberty, Texas, on May 11, 2002. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are murky, but likely, she was last seen around the 2400 block of Beaumont Avenue in Liberty, Texas. It's unclear whether she was abducted or left of her own volition.
Patricia was 18 at the time. She's a white female who is approximately 5'6 and weighs around 110 pounds. She has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a mole on the right side of her head and a heart tattoo on her right ankle with a ribbon above it that reads "Jennifer Friends 4 Ever."
If you know anything about her disappearance, please get in touch with the Liberty Police Department at 936.336.5666 and reference case # 022463.
Also, please check out the Facebook page: Help find missing persons Patricia Marie Small - TX.
As I mentioned in the last episode, while I was researching Patricia's case, I came across "The Missing Texas Forty Facebook Page," which I had never heard of before. I learned about a cluster of more than 40 people who have gone missing outside of Houston, Texas, primarily in and around Liberty and Montgomery Counties. If you're listening and know someone who has gone missing in these areas and is part of the missing Texas Forty, please get in touch with me through the Missing and Unexplained Facebook page.
In this second episode, I spoke to Patricia's friend, Annie, about Patricia's disappearance and her quest to find answers and truth.
Here's my interview with Annie.

A couple of years ago, I did a series on Kris Fowler, who went missing hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016. One of the interviews I did right before the series came out was with former Park Ranger Andrea Lankford, who wrote the bestseller "Ranger Confidential." At the time, Andrea alluded to me that she was researching another book about missing persons on the PCT. Well, Andrea's latest book, "Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail" comes out this month and looks at the disappearances of Kris Fowler, Chris Sylvia, and David O'Sullivan, all who went missing while through hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Andrea's book and read it this summer. It's a riveting story, incredibly well-written and exhaustively researched. Her book, "Trail of the Lost," comes out on August 22, 2023; you can find it on Amazon or where you get your books. I talked with Andrea about the book, her writing journey, and why people go missing on the PCT.
Here's my chat with Andrea.

Michael Bryson went missing from a campground near Dorena, Oregon, on Aug. 5, 2020, during a party. He was 27 at the time. It's reported that Michael wandered away from the campsite sometime around 4:30 a.m. Some report he was upset when he left, although it's unclear why.
He was last seen by his parents, Tina and Parrish, on Aug. 3, 2020, when he stopped by their house before heading to the party at the campground.
In December 2020, some of Michael's clothes were located, but Michael was nowhere to be found.
Tina and Parrish started the Michael Bryson Foundation after he went missing to bring awareness to missing people and mental health and drug addiction.
A Facebook page, Let's Find Michael Bryson, has more than 24000 members, and I highly recommend checking it out to find more details about this case.
If you know anything about Michael Bryson's disappearance, please contact them or the Lane County sheriff's office at (541) 682-4150, option 1, and reference case No. 20-5286. You can also get in touch with Michael's parents through the Facebook page "Let's Find Michael Bryson."
I talked to Michael's parents right before the third anniversary of his disappearance. Here's my conversation with Tina and Parrish Bryson.

Twenty-eight-year-old Bernard "Bernie" Grempel went missing on May 14, 2021. That evening he took the SkyTrain from Surrey to New Westminster before boarding the 340 bus to North Delta around 11 p.m. No one has ever determined if he got off the bus or where.
He's 30 years old, 6' tall, and has a slim build, curly brown hair and brown eyes. I talked to his older sister Ettie Shurack who is searching for her Brother. His family is offering a $50,000 reward for anyone who can help bring Bernie home. Shurack also manages a Facebook group called "Bernard Grempel is Missing," where you can get up-to-date information in their search for Bernard. After two years of searching, Shurack worries about her Brother and says he is a well-liked and popular member of her family and community.
If you have seen Bernard or know where he is, please call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. This is my conversation with Ettie.

In April, I did an episode on Thomas Stephen Blake, who went missing from Big Spring, Texas, in early August 1987. Tom was a truck driver, and after he went missing, his big rig was found idling with a whole load of onions in a rest area several miles from Big Spring, where Tom was last seen. Inside the truck, police found his cigarettes, I.D. and other personal items.
Tom was with a woman at the time who was also missing. In April, I spoke with his sister Linda. In Part 2, I speak with her husband, Jim, who is a former police officer and had some valuable insight into drug running on the U.S.-Mexico border, and whether Tom might have been involved in something like this.

In this first episode, I talked to Autumn's friends and family about the days and weeks leading up to her death. She was in a new relationship and had fallen head over heels. She soon became engaged and pregnant. But weeks after she had her second child, something sinister occurred: Her second child was injured, and she was distraught. She needed answers and to find out what happened. She planned to meet her fiancé at Green Lake and confront him.

FIRST FULL EPISODE COMING IN LATE MAY.
In the late afternoon on August 30, 2019, in an otherwise sunny and pristine summer afternoon, a body was found floating in Green Lake, a popular recreational and park area in northern Seattle. When police arrived, they pulled a woman from the water. The woman was 23-year-old Autumn Lee Stone.
She had a vest zipped up to her neck. Underneath the vest, shoelaces were tied around her neck, like she had been strangled. She was fully clothed, but her shoes were missing. At the time, the first responders thought it looked suspicious. But when detectives arrived, they quickly started telling the public it was likely a suicide and in just a few weeks, her case was closed.
Immediately, friends and family didn't buy it. Questions began to formulate: How do you kill yourself with shoelaces? How did her body get into the lake? Why was she at Green Lake in the first place? The questions mounted. The police initially remained adamant that there was no indication of defensive wounds or foul play. Then in 2020, the Seattle Police Department suddenly re-opened Autumn's case.
It's been almost four years since Autumn died, and the family is still awaiting justice.
This is the Death of Autumn Stone, a multiple-part series.

On April 24, 1980, three-year-old blonde curly-haired Jeffrey Dupres headed out the door of his home in Slave Lake, Alberta, to play with his friend Rodney, who lived nearby. He was wearing a long-sleeved beige shirt with brown trim and rust-coloured pants. Jeffrey had flat feet and was wearing dark brown orthopedic shoes as a result.
At around 1 pm, after Jeffrey said he would play with Rodney, his mother, Denise, went to transfer a load of laundry from the washing machine to the dryer. The window was open, and a few minutes later, she heard Rodney’s dad call out for him to come inside. When Denise looked out the window a few minutes later and didn’t see either boy, she assumed they had gone to play inside Rodney’s house, just next door.
But roughly 20 minutes later, Rodney showed up asking for Jeffrey. Something wasn’t right. Denise called the police around 1:45 pm, and within hours, hundreds of volunteer searchers flooded the smoke-engulfed town to search for Jeffrey. But despite these efforts, he’s never been found.
Private investigator Anna James, who works for Recover Agency and on Jeffrey’s case, came on the podcast to talk about what may have happened to Jeffrey and how we, the public, can help.
I encourage you to visit the “What happened to Jeffrey Dupres Facebook Page” to see regular updates on the case. Denise has also started a Go Fund Me to support an investigation into the matter, and if you can support her, it would greatly appreciated. I’ll link both in the description and Anna’s contact info if you can provide any information.

35-year-old Robert McLaughlin, also known by "Royal Francis and "Rob Francis," went missing from Jacksonville, Florida, on September 25, 2017. Robert was last seen in his apartment sometime around 10 pm. He left behind his personal belongings, including his wallet and ID, and his car was also left at his building. Robert has a gold tooth, a chipped right tooth, and tattoos on both his arms and is said to have had a full beard and was wearing a black shirt and shorts around the time of his disappearance. He's about 5'10 and 210 pounds. A few years before his disappearance, Robert was in an accident that left him with a severe head injury that impacted his short and long-term memory.
I was able to get a hold of Robert's former roommate Bella. Bella is close friends with Robert, who lived with him in Florida at the time he went missing. She has since moved back to the Netherlands but continues to search for what happened to her friend. In 2020, Bella started a podcast titled #findrobfrancis and detailed the information she knew leading up to his disappearance. Bella came on the show to talk about Robert, her podcast, and what may have happened to her musically gifted friend.

Traverspine was a small village in Labrador which was a fur trading post in the early 20th century but is now a ghost town. To this day, you'd be hard-pressed to find it on a map. I had never heard of Traverspine, but immediately upon reading about it, it reminded me of Portlock, Alaska, which I covered in a Halloween special in 2021.
In Traverspine, local wildlife biologists and trappers reported finding strange tracks in the woods; sled dogs went missing, and children reported seeing a large animal appear in and around the edge of the village, lurking amongst the trees. But nobody could identify what it was. A gorilla? Some type of bear? A demon? A Yeti or some skin-walker type witch?
Adam Shoalts took off into the remote, rugged and occupied wilderness of Labrador with a companion to try and unearth what haunted and stalked the town of Traverspine and hoped to unravel the mystery once and for all. What he experienced was incredible, educational and downright hair-tingling.

Lonene Ray Rogers, 29 years old, went missing from her home in Hayfield Township, Pennsylvania, on January 7, 1981. That evening she got into an argument with her husband.
Later that night, her husband woke up and realized Lonene was not in the house. Lonene left behind her hearing aid, eyeglasses, medication, car, and other personal items. She also left her two young children. The evening she went missing, there was a severe snowstorm.
After Lonene's disappearance, her husband, who is also deaf, placed their young daughter, Alison, for adoption. She is now grown and is attempting to revive the investigation into her mother's disappearance. Alison was generous enough to come on the show and talk with me about her mother's disappearance and her life's journey.
I encourage you to check out the Justice for Lonene Facebook page and Alison's book about her mother and her life titled "A Daughter's Journey," which is available on Amazon.

Today on the show, I have the incredible Heather Shtuka. If you listened to my series on Ryan Shtuka, you know Heather is Ryan's mother. Since her son went missing in Sun Peaks in February 2018, she has searched tirelessly for answers on where Ryan might be. This year marks five years since her son disappeared without a trace. Heather was gracious enough to spend hours talking to me about Ryan when I did my series back in 2020.
In addition to being a mother, Heather is an advocate and an incredible human being. She is now also a bestseller. Her new book "Missing from Me" chronicles her despair, grief, and perseverance while trying to find answers to what happened to Ryan. Her book, released last fall, was a number bestseller on Amazon books in memoirs, momentarily surpassing the likes of Matthew Perry and Dave Grohl.
I recently connected with Heather, and she was gracious enough to take time out of her day to talk about her new book; here's my chat with Heather.

Throughout the 1920, 30’s, and 40’s strange things happened in a small, oceanside town on the Alaskan Kenai Peninsula known as Portlock (Port Chatham). Portlock was a seemingly quiet cannery town. But people started to go missing while others were found seemingly brutally murdered or killed. Rumours began to circulate of a large yeti like creature stalking the woods. There were reports of man-like tracks 18 inches in length. People claimed to see and hear a wailing spirit, wandering the woods. I spoke to Brian Weed to try and find some answers.

Halloween is here! I know it’s been awhile since you’ve had some content from this show so I am happy to say, in light of my favourite time of year, I have a couple of one-off episodes to share with you. In this first Halloween special I sat down with friend and author Shanon Sinn to talk about a resident Vancouver Island phantom ship, the Valencia. We also talked about folklore in general and the new book Shanon is working on. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
You can purchase Shanon's first book, "The Haunting of Vancouver Island", here.

Hello listeners of The Missing and Unexplained Podcast! I have a new podcast titled "True to the Story". Don't worry! The Missing and Unexplained Podcast is not going anywhere. In fact, I am currently doing research for season 3 which I am hoping to release later this year. True to the Story is just another vehicle for me to tell stories not entirely linked to missing persons or crime. You can subscribe to True to the Story where you get your podcasts, including iTunes.
True to the Story is a new podcast dedicated to long-form storytelling, with each season telling a true narrative. In this first series I look at the war in Afghanistan and the interpreters who served alongside the Canadian Armed Forces.
From 2001-2014, over the course of 14 years, more than 40, 000 Canadian soldiers participated in the longest war in Canadian history. Now in 2021 many of these Canadian Afghan war vets are fighting a different fight: Their fighting to get these same interpreters who helped them in Afghanistan to safety in Canada. This is the story of these interpreters, the crucial role they played in helping the Canadian Armed Forces, and their ultimate journey to try and seek shelter in Canada...
Episode 1 will be coming in the following weeks. You can check the social media pages below for regular updates:

In this final episode I look at another disappearance on the PCT, and I discuss some possible sightings of Kris and the theories surrounding his disappearance.

With the storm of the decade headed towards the Pacific Northwest and Washington State, Kris and other hikers hesitated on whether to continue hiking the PCT. Ultimately, Kris was determined to hike Washington state in its entirety. After re-supplying in Packwood, on October 12, 2016, Kris started out on the trail near the White Pass trailhead and seemingly vanished into the woods.
Thank you to Pickles, Sally, David, and Aaron who chatted with me for this episode.

On Mother’s Day, May 8, 2016, 34-year-old Kris Fowler set out the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,653 mile hike stretching from Mexico to Canada, all through the west coast of the United States. But on October 12, with less than 400 miles to go on the trail, Kris, who had stopped in Packwood Washington for supplies, set off to resume the PCT near White Pass in the Cascade mountain range. Kris was hoping to get ahead of a brewing storm, one that people would later claim was the biggest Washington State had experienced in decades. As other hikers left the trail to wait out the inclement weather, Kris, in his sandals, set off into the dense Washington wilderness and seemingly vanished into the thick wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.

I sat down with Lorna Ferguson who is a Ph.D. Student in the Sociology department at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, is the Founder of the Missing Persons Research Hub, and is the Book Review Editor for Police Practice and Research: An International Journal. Lorna has a broad interest in policing research and developing evidence-based approaches to policing and crime prevention, including issues related to firearms and social media use. Currently, her research focuses on police responses to missing person cases. We had an interesting chat about her research and how academics and podcasters can collaborate better.
