Unfound Live Ed Dentzel Starting in October 2017, Ed Dentzel, host of the missing persons podcast, Unfound, started a Live Show so he could get to know his listeners better, and so they could get to know him. If you tune in, you can be sure you'll hear a lot of true crime news--both from Unfound's work and national news. But you'll also hear Ed talk about disc golf and hair bands and cooking and any other unique things going on in his life that week. The Unidentifieds The Oregonian/OregonLive.com There are more than 150 unidentified human remains in Oregon – at least one in every county. Most were discovered in the Pacific Northwest wilderness, parts of their skeleton scattered in between rocks and twigs, and most go unfound and unidentified for decades. The Unidentifieds, a narrative podcast hosted by Regan Mertz for The Oregonian/OregonLive, tells the story of four of those cold cases and how online genealogy and forensic anthropology helped families get closure. UnFound--A Missing Persons Program Unfound Established in September 2016, Unfound is a missing persons program concentrated on interviewing family, friends, and reporters who are closest to the cases. The focus is on turning up new leads and theories, which the podcast has already accomplished in its short existence.
