Ep. - 1490 - THE SECRETS WE BURY

from Reality Life with Kate Casey

In 1961, George Carroll, a 30-year-old U.S. Army veteran and father of six, vanished without a trace from his family’s Long Island home on Olive Street, leaving behind a wife and young children, including his eight-month-old son Michael. For decades, the Carroll children were told their father had abandoned them, but unanswered questions lingered as the family endured years of silence, abuse, and buried secrets after their mother, Dorothy Carroll, remarried the family’s handyman, Richard Darress.   Driven by a lifelong search for truth, Michael Carroll eventually bought the family home and, alongside his sister Jean, pursued answers through neighbors, rumors, and even psychics—until a chilling revelation led Michael’s sons, Mike Carroll Jr. and Chris Carroll, to dig beneath the basement floor in 2018. Six feet below the house, they uncovered human remains later confirmed to be George Carroll’s, transforming a decades-old disappearance into an active homicide investigation.   Kate is joined by director Patricia Gillespie, and Mike Carroll Jr. and Chris Carroll.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
