Highway of Tears: Why Girls Vanish and Nobody Is Held Accountable

Thursday, August 27, 2026 • Duration 22:18

Highway of Tears: Why Girls Vanish and Nobody Is Held Accountable

A lonely 724-kilometre stretch of Highway Sixteen has swallowed decades of women and girls, with eighteen officially connected cases and advocates saying the true count exceeds forty - why do so many vanish on the road and so few answers follow? What in the landscape, infrastructure, and history makes disappearance routine and accountability rare?

In this episode, we tell how geography, poverty, and institutional history shape the pattern of disappearances along Highway Sixteen and ask what it means that so many files remain unresolved; can understanding the road explain who benefits from its silence?

Person: Ramona Wilson
Date: 1994
Location: Smithers, near Smithers airport
Case: Project E-PANA launched fall 2005
Organization: RCMP E Division Criminal Operations

- Highway Sixteen is 724 kilometres long.
- Eighteen cases are officially dated back to 1969.
- Advocates insist the real count of missing women and girls is more than forty.
- Prince George holds roughly 84,000 people, the largest center for hundreds of kilometres.
- In some communities along the highway, unemployment reaches 92 percent.

He Lived With Her Body: The Shopping List That Planned Murder

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 19:40

He Lived With Her Body: The Shopping List That Planned Murder

The smell started the rumors but a handwritten list started the case: bin bags, ties, disinfectant, bleach - items Hobson wrote down in sequence before July 11, 2004. He lived for days with Claire Sanderson's body in their flat and later lured her twin Diane inside; how did a shopping list become a murder plan?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from Millfield Drive on the morning of July 18, 2004 through the days that preceded it, laying out who was there, what was found in the flat, and how Hobson's actions unfolded - could a list be the clearest piece of evidence of intent?

Person: Mark Richard Hobson
Person: Claire Sanderson
Person: Diane Sanderson
Date: July 11-18, 2004
Location: Millfield Drive, Campbellsforth, North Yorkshire

- Hobson stabbed Claire seventeen times with a hammer on the night of July 11, 2004, then strangled her.
- A handwritten list found in the flat included "bin bags," "ties," "disinfectant," and "bleach," written in sequence and dated before July 11.
- Hobson lived in the flat with Claire's body for the better part of a week, answering calls and giving explanations about the smell.
- Diane visited the flat on or around July 17 after Hobson called, and she did not leave the flat alive.
- In 2003 Hobson pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court to wounding with intent for stabbing a former friend five times and received 100 hours of community service.

The Photo That Screamed: Inside the Moors Murders' Secret Album

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 18:11

The Photo That Screamed: Inside the Moors Murders' Secret Album

A single 1965 police photograph of Myra Hindley-bleached hair, dark roots, a face emptied of expression-has haunted investigators and historians for decades. Alongside it sits a sealed sixteen‑minute recording said to include a Christmas carol and a ten‑year‑old girl begging; neither image nor tape has been released to the public. How did an album of holiday‑style photos and hidden reels become the most chilling record of the Moors Murders?

In this episode, we tell the story of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, the five child victims, the photographs and tapes they left behind, and the moor where three bodies were buried and one remains missing. What does the secret album reveal about intent, memory, and the families still waiting for answers?

Person: Myra Hindley
Person: Ian Brady
Event: Arrest in 1965
Location: Saddleworth Moor, twelve miles outside Manchester
Date: 12 July 1963 (first known victim Pauline Reed disappearance)

- Myra Hindley was born 23 July 1942 in Gorton, Manchester and took a job at Millward's Engineering in autumn 1961.
- Pauline Reed, aged sixteen, was taken on 12 July 1963 and her body was not found for nearly twenty years.
- John Kilbride, aged twelve, was buried at a hillside photographed by Hindley; he disappeared about four months after Pauline Reed.
- Lesley Ann Downey, aged ten, was taken on 26 December 1964, photographed unclothed before burial, and recorded on a sixteen‑minute reel‑to‑reel tape.
- Keith Bennett, aged twelve, disappeared on his way to his grandmother and his body has never been found.

She Came Home at 2 AM: The Mustache and the Magnum

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 17:47

She Came Home at 2 AM: The Mustache and the Magnum

A seventeen-year-old girl who survived unimaginable violence walked home at 2 AM and knocked on her own front door - alive and able to describe a small mustache and a red Dodge Magnum with "Magnum" stitched into the seat. Ten women were killed in eight months around Nebraska Avenue in 1984, and one survivor's details led investigators to a man no one had suspected. How did decades of crimes stay invisible until that night?

In this episode, we follow the timeline of disappearances on Nebraska Avenue and the surrounding Hillsborough County disposal sites, the survivor’s identifying details, and the emergence of a suspect connected to a decade of sexual assaults. What unfolded between March and November 1984 that finally let investigators find him?

Person: Bobby Joe Long
Date: November 3, 1984
Location: Nebraska Avenue, north Tampa
Event: Nebraska Avenue murders
Case: Ten women killed in eight months

- Survivor Lisa returned home and knocked on her own front door 26 hours after she disappeared.
- Lisa identified the assailant by a small mustache and a red Dodge Magnum with "Magnum" stitched into the seat fabric.
- Investigators later counted at least fifty victims across Florida from roughly ten years of rape.
- Between March and November 1984, ten women disappeared from The Strip and were found in rural areas of Hillsborough County.
- Elizabeth was picked up on June 8, her body found 16 days later in an orange grove in Brandon, approximately 16 kilometers from where she was taken.

The Man Who Displayed Skulls: Kansas City's Quiet Butcher Revealed

Sunday, August 23, 2026 • Duration 19:13

The Man Who Displayed Skulls: Kansas City's Quiet Butcher Revealed

A city volunteer and court-appointed youth advocate hid skulls in a shop window and kept boiled vertebrae in a closet while neighbors passed without alarm. Between 1984 and 1988 he photographed and cataloged victims with Polaroids and written notes - how did he avoid detection for nearly four years?

In this episode, we trace the facts of what police found after a barefoot twenty-two-year-old escaped a home in April 1988 and led investigators three blocks to a house with restraints and human remains. We follow the discoveries that forced authorities to ask how a respected chef and community volunteer maintained that double life.

Person: Christopher Bryson
Person: Robert Andrew Bedella Jr
Date: April 1988
Location: Kansas City
Event: Six men entered Bedella's house and did not leave between July 1984 and April 1988

- Christopher Bryson was 22 years old when he ran barefoot through a neighborhood in April 1988 wearing a dog collar.
- Investigators found between 200 and 300 Polaroid photographs in Bedella's house.
- A skull was locked in an upstairs closet and a bag of boiled vertebrae was recovered from the residence.
- Robert Andrew Bedella Jr was born January 31, 1949, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and moved to Kansas City in the late 1960s.
- Jerry Howell, age 19, went to Bedella's house on July 5, 1984, and was later reported missing by his father.

The Nurse Who Smiled While Children Secretly Died

A smiling nurse in a 1991 photograph held baby Katie Phillips while her twin sister was already dead and Katie nearly died three times-how could trust hide such violence? Thirteen children collapsed on one ward in sixty-one days, four died and nine were left with lifelong damage; who was responsible for the pattern everyone missed?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events on Ward Four at Grantham Kesteven between February and April 1991 and follow how clinicians turned a string of unexplained collapses into a single, chilling question: could a nurse have been causing these emergencies from inside the ward?

Person: Beverly Allitt
Location: Grantham Kesteven (Little Cottage Hospital), Grantham, Lincolnshire
Period: February-April 1991
Case: Ward Four pediatric collapses
Deaths: 4

- Thirteen children collapsed under unexplained circumstances in sixty-one days.
- Four children died and nine survived with lasting damage.
- Beverly Allitt started working on Ward Four on 15 February 1991 at age 23.
- During her final year of training she missed 126 days.

He Survived Ninety Minutes - But Who Pushed Barbara In?

Friday, August 21, 2026 • Duration 19:34

He Survived Ninety Minutes - But Who Pushed Barbara In?

Something about a calm man pulled from a two-degree river, with no trembling and a folded sheet at his waist, shouldn't fit the rest of the paperwork: twenty-seven life insurance policies worth just over two million dollars, a three o'clock call about accidental-death coverage, and a walk-in two hours before Barbara was found dead. Who made that insurance call, and why did the timeline compress into six hours between the inquiry and her drowning?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline and the factual threads that converge on the night of November 10, 1994, in Carleton Place, Ontario, from the travel-agency call at 3:00 PM to the overturned truck found after 9:00 PM, and we ask whether the detail that doesn't fit can explain what really happened.

Person: Barbara Lontier
Person: Gary Samuels
Date: November 10, 1994
Location: Carleton Place, Ontario
Event: Truck overturned into river; Barbara found deceased

- Barbara Lontier was a non-swimmer and owned The Clip Joint hair salon.
- Gary Samuels had taken out twenty-seven life insurance policies on Barbara totaling just over two million dollars.
- A male caller asked a travel agency at 3:00 PM whether accidental death coverage would pay for a car accident in Ontario.
- Gary Samuels visited the same travel agency in person about two hours after that call and confirmed he had made the inquiry.
- Glenn Pierce reached the submerged truck before emergency services and opened the door with a flashlight; Barbara was inside.

He Killed a Village and Left No Answer: The Cumbria Night of Silence

He Killed a Village and Left No Answer: The Cumbria Night of Silence

The quiet of an English morning was broken by a mapped, twelve-hour path of blood: twelve people killed, eleven wounded, and one man found dead in a forest with no note, no manifesto, and no clear motive. How did a licensed, long-standing taxi driver with three decades of legal gun ownership turn a familiar rural route into a killing field, and why did he leave no explanation?

In this episode, we chronicle the timeline, the people, and the small-town ties that shaped the day, following the movements from the first shots before dawn to the final act in a Boot wood. What details in his past and in the sequence of events might explain a violence that left no answers?

Person: Derrick Bird
Date: June 2, 2010
Location: West Cumbria, England (including Ennerdale Bridge, Lamplugh, Whitehaven, Boot)
Victims killed: 12
Victims wounded: 11

- Derrick Bird was born November 27, 1957, and held shotgun and .22 rifle licenses since approximately 1974.
- He worked as a taxi driver in Whitehaven from around 1995 after leaving his job at Sellafield in 1990 and receiving a suspended sentence for stealing wood.
- Between midnight and 4 a.m. on June 2, 2010, Bird loaded a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun and a silenced .22 rifle and began his attack.
- Bird shot his twin brother David eleven times in their Lamplugh home before moving on to other locations.
- The entire sequence of shootings lasted approximately twelve hours and ended with Bird walking into a forest near Boot and taking his own life, with no note recovered.

He Buried Her Three Feet From His Bedroom Window - The Map?

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 • Duration 19:56

He Buried Her Three Feet From His Bedroom Window - The Map?

The most chilling clue in this case wasn't a weapon or a witness but a hand-drawn map given by the killer himself that led investigators to a body buried three feet from his bedroom window. The map tied a suburban lawn to murders spanning decades and raised one question no neighbor could have imagined: what else was hidden beneath ordinary ground?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from a picnic murder in 1975 through decades of military service, a return to Spokane, and a string of disappearances along East Sprague Avenue, ending with the arrest prompted by DNA and the map that revealed a grave. How did a decorated Army warrant officer become linked to multiple murders, and what did the map finally expose?

Person: Robert Lee Yates Jr.
Date: April 18, 2000
Location: Spokane, Washington
Victim age: 16 (Jennifer Joseph)
Event: Body found after map led investigators to burial three feet from bedroom window

- Yates was born May 27, 1952, in Spokane, Washington.
- Two victims, Susan (22) and Patrick (21), were shot July 13, 1975, near Mill Creek outside Walla Walla.
- Yates resigned from the Army on April 1, 1996, eighteen months before a full twenty-year pension.
- Jennifer Joseph, age 16, was missing for ten days before her remains were found northeast of the city.
- DNA from items in Yates’s white Corvette connected him to at least eight women's deaths by the afternoon of April 18, 2000.

The Night the Vanishings Stopped: The Truro Silence of 1977

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 20:24

The Night the Vanishings Stopped: The Truro Silence of 1977

The quiet that follows sudden violence is worse than the noise: seven young women vanished from Adelaide between 23 Dec 1976 and 12 Feb 1977, then the disappearances stopped on a single day as if someone flipped a switch. Four of those women - Veronica Knight, Sylvia Pitman, Connie Jordan and Vicki Howell - were later found as remains in scrubland near Truro; why the killings began and why they ended remains the central mystery.

In this episode, I tell the sequence of disappearances, the slow discovery of remains in the bush north of Truro and the unanswered question that haunts the families: what caused the vanishings to stop on 12 February 1977?

Person: Veronica Knight
Person: Sylvia Pitman
Person: Connie Jordan
Person: Vicki Howell
Location: scrubland north of Truro, 90 kilometres northeast of Adelaide

- Seven young women vanished from Adelaide between 23 December 1976 and 12 February 1977, a span of 52 days.
- Veronica Knight disappeared on 23 December 1976 at age 18, two days before Christmas.
- Connie Jordan disappeared on 7 February 1977; Vicki Howell disappeared on 9 February 1977, four women gone in the final seven days.
- Remains identified as Veronica Knight and Sylvia Pitman were found after bones were discovered by two men on ANZAC Day, 1978.
- Four sets of remains were recovered in scrubland near dirt tracks; three of the seven women remained unlocated at that time.
