Downtown Minneapolis, MN.John "Jack" Grundhofer, a powerful banking executive, professional cost-cutter, and pillar of the community, drives into work in his brand new Mercedes Benz much like any other day.

A desperate amateur criminal? Or something even stranger?Join Kyle and Nate as they attempt to get to the bottom of the legendary kidnapping of John Grundhofer, a story about hubris, the importance of planning, and how the ruthless pursuit of comically huge sums of money can only lead to one's own downfall.SOURCES:https://web.archive.org/web/20150710210656/https://www.nytimes.com/1990/11/23/us/several-theories-on-an-abduction.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bixLNESECochttps://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/John_Grundhoferhttps://horatioalger.org/members/detail/john-f-grundhoferhttps://www.deseret.com/1990/11/20/18892094/chairman-of-minneapolis-bank-escapes-after-being-abducted/https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/11/19/Banker-escapes-kidnapper/5921658990800/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-11-20-mn-4993-story.htmlhttps://www.startribune.com/jack-grundhofer-who-built-u-s-bancorp-in-the-1990s-dies-at-82/600015712EPISODE CREDITS:Written & Researched by NateHosted by Kyle & NateProduced by: Darnell Brown Jr. IVInstagram: @supermysterybrosYouTube: @SuperMysteryBrosPodcastEmail: [email protected]

If The United States were a 90’s sitcom, the state of Florida would be known for nothing if not being the Kramer of states; a kooky neighbor who is always getting into something wacky. But for the better part of a century, Floridians from all over the state have reported seeing a strange, giant ape roaming their swamps and woods that leaves a vile stench in its wake so horrific it could knock a buzzard off a shitwagon. Equal parts shy as it is intimidating, this mysterious beast has successfully thwarted every single one of mankind’s attempts to capture it. Is it a relative of the North American Bigfoot? Is it an orangutan that escaped captivity? Misidentified bear sightings? Or is it just a bunch of hooey? Join Ivan, Nate, and Ivan’s roommate Peter on this special back-to-school edition of Super Mystery Bros, as they head down to Miami-Dade County to do some squatchin’ of their own (or is it skunk apin’?) and hopefully bring the Florida Skunk Ape to justice, once and for all.

What if your dream home turned into your worst nightmare home? For the Broaddus family, their 2014 purchase of 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey, turned into nothing short of a shared nightmare. Just days after purchasing their idyllic new home, the Broaddus family began to receive a series of unsettling letters from a stalker calling themselves "The Watcher" of the home. These letters contained disturbing details about the family and the history of the house, as well as thinly-veiled threats against their children, leaving the Broadduses shaking with fear and questioning who was behind it. The police were just as baffled as anyone else, and ultimately could not identify the source of the shocking letters. In the end, they were forced to sell the house off at a steep loss several years later, without ever having moved in, and the letter writer is still out there, somewhere in the ether, having never been identified or brought to justice. Join Ivan and Nate on this most excellent episode as they attempt to figure who the Westfield Watcher was, and what his or her motives were.

In December 1968, Tokyo witnessed a crime that continues to baffle authorities, armchair detectives, and neckbeards nearly 60 years later. A cunning young man decided that the world was his, and hatched a genius plan – a plan so bold, that some would even call it stupid. However, its brazen nature, paired with the unquestioning compliance of the average human being ensured its success. As the old saying goes: if it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid. The robber, along with the cash, disappeared into the wet, misty streets of Tokyo like tears in rain, having never been formally identified.

Deep within the swampy jungles of Central Africa lurks a legend: Mokele-mbembe. This name, translating roughly to "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language, refers to a creature said to inhabit the Congo Basin. Described as a monstrous, long-necked sauropod, Mokele-mbembe has captured the imaginations of cryptozoologists and locals alike for centuries, sparking debate over whether it's a relic from the dinosaur era or a product of folklore. Join Ivan and Nate as they pack their heaviest weaponry and head out on a journey down the Congo River, not in search of Kurtz, but rather, what some believe to be the last remaining dinosaur on Earth: Mokele-Mbembe.

In August of 1993, the hit television series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers dropped on the Fox Kids network and took America's youth by storm. Toys, Halloween costumes, and other merchandise were flying off the shelves, and the creators of the show were flyin' high. To this day, the series is still running; proving its staying power and giving birth to multiple generations of fans; bridging the gap between young kids and old crusty neckbeards who refuse to grow up.

Imagine over 60 children claiming to witness a UFO landing and telepathic communication with strange beings. You might be inclined to believe it to be an urban legend, but that's exactly what happened at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe in 1994. During recess, dozens of schoolchildren witnessed a shocking sight: A silvery craft swooped down from the sky, landing in a field beyond the playground. Small, large-headed beings emerged, delivering a chilling message: a telepathic warning about Earth's bleak future caused by human environmental neglect. Nearly 30 years later, most of the witnesses, now as adults, claim that the experience was real and as serious as a heart attack, and some still suffer from PTSD because of it. But was it all real, or merely imagined? Join Ivan and Nate as they journey to the majestic continent of Africa and try to get to the bottom of this most legendary close encounter of the 3rd kind.

Indiana Jones had nothing on Jim Thompson. This American-born architect-turned-war-hero-turned-silk-tycoon lived a life like no other; throwing away his successful, well-paying, and highly prestigious career as a New York City architect and ballet director to join the US Army prior to its involvement in World War 2. He became a highly decorated soldier and expert in guerilla warfare and espionage, and after the war, fell in love with and settled down in Thailand only to leave an indelible mark on his new adopted home city of Bangkok. Jim has been credited with almost single-handedly snatching the entire Thai silk industry from the jaws of irrelevancy, having revived the industry through his own personal investment and entrepreneurship, and heavily promoting it in the West, where it became high fashion among Hollywood elites. He devoted his life toward preserving Southeast Asian artwork and artifacts, and immersed himself into a culture which he was not born into but adopted as his own. Jim was one-of-a-kind, with an unparalleled taste in fine art and an eye for design. Yet, the final chapter to the remarkable life of this renaissance man remains tragically unwritten. While on vacation in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia, Jim disappeared during an afternoon stroll on Easter Sunday of 1967. He was never seen or heard from again, and his disappearance continues to haunt the Southeast Asian region to this day. What happened to Jim Thompson?

Heavy metal icon, voice of a generation and pillar of the community Dee Snider can be called many things, but one thing you can’t call him is a disbeliever in the paranormal after he had his own shocking experience with the shadowy world of the paranormal. After his brother-in-law was gunned down in cold blood, and the killer remained a free man, strange, inexplicable happenings began happening all over the Snider family home, culminating in a message for the family from beyond the grave; a message of hope – to just move on, and that there's nothing they can do.

In early 1993, just outside the small town of Moxee, Washington, an unidentified man was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while out walking in the middle of the highway late one evening. Without any form of identification on his body, or any known missing persons to link him to, he became known to local law enforcement as Moxee John Doe. By 2004, through a groundbreaking new technology called Google, a break would bust the whole case wide open, revealing his true identity: a man by the name of David Glenn Lewis. However, this did nothing but raise far more questions than it answered….   Join Kyle and Nate as they attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery, once and for all.   SOURCES & FURTHER INFORMATION https://thecrimewire.com/true-crime/The-Strange-Disappearance-and-Death-of-David-Glenn-Lewis https://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/1993-hit-run-victim-is-finally-identified-1156263.php https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-helps-solve-john-doe-case/ https://www.doenetwork.org/media/news73.html https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/David_Lewis https://987thebomb.com/the-strange-case-of-missing-amarillo-lawyer-david-glenn-lewis/ https://wickedness.net/murders/david-glenn-lewis/ https://lostnfoundblogs.com/f/david-glenn-lewis-cross-country-conundrum https://strangeco.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-mysterious-death-of-david-glen-lewis.html https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/b081b982-3862-491a-bb0a-2c3d61b6e56c/20210128_175017.jpg/:/cr=t:0%25,l:0%25,w:100%25,h:100%25/rs=w:1280 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nate3901/message

It’s the film that’s generated unparalleled controversy. The granddaddy of grainy, indistinct footage. A mere 954 frames of grainy footage taken deep in the wilderness of Northern California that continues to make heads explode over 56 years later. To some, it’s obviously just some bonehead in an ape costume, because they can tell by some of the pixels. But to others, the subject in the video is absolutely a real-life, living, breathing, sasquatch, because they can tell by some of the OTHER pixels. For nearly 60 years, this footage has been the subject of intense debate and scrutiny. If it’s a hoax, it’s caused thousands of middle-aged men to waste their precious lives slamming baseball bats into trees really hard, and screaming as loud as they can into the woods for no apparent reason (Which is awesome in and of itself). But if authentic, it’s arguably one of, if not THE most important pieces of footage mankind has ever recorded. Was the Patterson-Gimlin footage authentic, or a clever ruse?

If you’re reading this because you haven’t heard of this and need an introduction to it, you've clearly been living under a rock for your entire life. But here it is anyway: November 24, 1971. A man using the alias “Dan Cooper”, later referred to as "DB Cooper", hijacks an airliner, demands $200,000 in ransom money, multiple parachutes, and jumps out of a perfectly good airplane into the frigid night sky over Washington State, never to be seen or heard from again, nor conclusively identified. It remains the world’s only unsolved case of airliner hijacking in history. Join Kyle and Nate as they go on a deep-dive on this legendary story, and breathe new life into this old mystery.

Phoenix Arizona. Aptly named for its comfortable temperatures. To quote Peggy Hill, "This city should not exist. It is a monument to man's arrogance." But in March of 1997, in this unparalleled city of arrogance, as the Hale-Bopp Comet was passing by our planet on its way toward the sun, another set of spectacular lights lit up the skies over Phoenix. Some eyewitnesses claim it was a huge V-Shaped craft that blocked out the stars above it as it passed overhead. The military says these lights were just flares that were launched by aircraft during a night time training exercise. But to many who spotted the lights firsthand, this explanation is nothing but a pathetic attempt to dismiss their accounts. 26 years on, the mystery still persists. What was it that floated in the skies over Arizona on that fateful night?

Spring, 1992. Shop clerks working along Interstate 70 began turning up dead, having been shot in the back of their heads with .22 caliber bullets, sending shockwaves throughout the Midwest region of the United States. The crimes were as senseless as they were ruthless, with no apparent motive other than to kill. Through proper gumshoe detective work, cooperation with witnesses, and forensics, it was determined that all crimes, despite hundreds of miles of separation, were committed by the same perpetrator, who had travelled back and forth along I-70 as he hunted for victims. Join Ivan and Nate as they go on a deep dive into one of the most important mysteries they have covered to date: the mystery of the I-70 Killer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nate3901/message

Since the dawn of time, mankind has coveted shiny pieces of metal. Entire lives have been wasted while acquiring one of the shiniest of all metals: Gold.

September 19, 1961. In a time where the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union was in full swing, and the entire world was collectively anticipating being vaporized in a nuclear Apocalypse at any given moment, a strange and curious story unfolded: A tale of two honeymooners who wanted nothing more than just to arrive home safely after a long journey through the Northeast portion of the US and Canada, a journey that would be interrupted by a mysterious UFO, alien beings, and missing time. As shadowy memories were finally brought to light, the ensuing story was considered by some to be too fantastical to be true. But to others, the story represents the holy grail of Alien Contact.

October 21, 1978. While flying over the waters of the treacherous Bass Strait, located between the southeast tip of the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmania, a young pilot reported strange lights orbiting over his aircraft. With no other known aircraft in the area, the plot thickens when radio contact between him and air traffic control is suddenly lost, and with it, all trace of him and his aircraft are lost forever. What happened to the young man remains a mystery to this day, and as decades have passed, neckbeards the world over have argued with each other over the internet. Did an alien spaceship shoot down the aircraft? Or could there be a more terrestrial explanation for his disappearance?
