What Happened to Grandpa?

A family mystery that lingered for generations finally cracks open in this mind-bending episode of Dating Detectives. What begins with a single, unexpected phone call pulls Taylor—and listeners—into a decades-long story that starts with her grandfather vanishing without a trace in 1952. As an unlikely kind of investigator begins pulling at one loose thread after another, a long-buried truth slowly comes into focus, forcing Taylor and her family to reconsider everything they thought they knew. It’s a story that asks a haunting question: how far can one person’s deception reach, and how long can its impact echo across generations after a disappearance becomes family legend?Click here to join our Patreon! For only $5 a month you will get 2 extra episodes a month, monthly virtual live events, and access to our community page.
