105. Laureen Rahn Collaboration

Jamie and Kristy host a collaborative episode of Speculating Wildly About Crime with guests Missy (Dark Woods Paranormal), Allison (Coffee and Cases), and Kevin (Midnight Mystery Archive) to revisit the 1980 disappearance of 14-year-old Laureen Rahn from Manchester, New Hampshire. They recap key case details from the night she vanished during spring break—unlocked/open doors, a friend in her bed, Laureen’s shoes and belongings left behind, and reports of unscrewed light bulbs—and discuss how limited, repetitive media coverage shaped earlier theories about runaway, abduction, and alleged phone calls. Newer insights from interviews with Laureen’s friends challenge portrayals of a close mother-daughter relationship, question the phone-call narrative, and introduce “Bob,” an uncle by marriage linked to troubling behavior and access to locations like a gravel pit and an abandoned house. The group leans toward someone Laureen knew and highlights a recent law-enforcement push reopening the case and asking classmates, neighbors, and friends to come forward, sharing the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit tip line (603-271-2663) and email ([email protected]).Find our Friends:https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@MidnightMysteryArchive⁩ https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=darkwoods ⁨@DarkwoodsParanormalPodcast⁩  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-and-cases-podcast/id1492318464Support the showJoin our Discussion Group- (4) Speculating Wildly About Crime (SWAC POD) Discussion Group | FacebookFollow us on Facebook- (4) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093283626257)Follow us on Instagram: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/swacpod/)Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@swac.pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcLink to You Tube: (4) SWACpod - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@SWACPOD)Music licensed from Premium BeatGroovy by INPLUSMUSIC
