S09E14: Cats in the Cradle (The Tromp Family Case)

from Unexplained · host iHeartPodcasts

In the winter of 2016, a bizarre story began to unfold about a farming family from a small town just east of Melbourne, Australia.  The family appeared to have fled their home in a state of utter panic, telling no one why or where they had gone. The truth was even stranger than anyone could possibly have imagined.  Written by Richard MacLean Smith and James Connor Patterson Find us at youtube.com/@unexplainedpod, tiktok.com/@unexplainedpodcast, twitter @unexplainedpod, facebook.com/unexplainedpodcast or www.unexplainedpodcast.com for more info.
