The Martin Family Disappearance - Eerily Beloved

What this episode covers

In 1958, a Portland family of five drove into the Columbia River Gorge for Christmas decorations and never returned. The Martin family disappearance is one of Oregon's most baffling unsolved cold cases, involving a bloody gun, a scratched-out name in a detective's notebook, and a station wagon that sat buried beneath the riverbed for nearly 70 years. We're breaking down every detail, every unanswered question, and every reason this case still doesn't add up. Have an eerie PNW encounter of you...
