The Mysterious, Missing, and Murdered: Recent Episodes
Matt and Mel
In the 1970’s a small manufacturing town in Ohio started to be plagued by an upsetting and mysterious series of letters. On this episode, we talk about the well known case of the Circleville Letters and the story of a man who went to prison for a crime he may not have committed.
In the finale of this two-part serie, we take a look at the disappearance of the Cowden family. On Labor Day weekend in 1974, Richard and Belinda June Cowden and their two young children went camping in the Pacific Northwest and were never seen alive again. This case has been described as one of Oregon’s most haunting and baffling mysteries in the state’s history. What happened to the Cowden family?
