S3 Ep12: Vanished: Jesse James "Print the Legend"
You know what’s really wild? I recorded the intro for this episode six times - and not because I kept flubbing the wording. But because that’s how many times this case has changed directions on us since we started our investigation. In the short time we’ve been working on this case, I’ve learned...
-
S3 Ep11: Vanished: Jesse James "St. Joseph, Missouri April 3rd 1882"
Some of the stories we cover for this show take a toll. You get into something, and you think it’s for a little while, and you end up being swallowed by your fascination and taken down rabbit holes you never thought you’d be in. Over the years, we’ve received a ton of requests for us to cover one...
-
S3 Ep10: Vanished: Amelia Earhart "Summer 2019 (Part 2)"
On July 5th 2020, we walked away from the Amelia Earhart case as a team. After over a year of recording and almost two years in production, we ended what I thought was the final conversation we’d have on this show regarding Amelia Earhart. Well, you know how that goes….. 2 weeks ago, on January...
-
S3 Ep9: Vanished: The Mary Celeste "Abandoned Ship" (Live)
It’s December 5th, 1872. The waters of the Atlantic are cold and desolate. Unforgiving. A British brigantine, the Dei Gratia sits about 400 miles east of the Azores when crew members spot a ship that seems to just be bobbing on the endless waves - lifeless in an ocean that seems to never end. The...
-
S3 Ep8: Vanished: Amy Johnson "Skyfall"
It’s January 5th 1941, the skies are gray and filled with water, ready at any minute to pour down to the Earth below. Amy Johnson, whom many people referred to as the British Amelia Earhart, is soaring through the air, her eyes fixed on the horizon, her heart beating with excitement and...
-
S3 Ep7: Vanished: Zodiac "Epilogue"
Welcome back to a very different part 4 than we thought we’d have. I guess that’s how it goes in these cases right? When you follow the evidence, wherever it leads, sometimes what it uncovers, or doesn’t may surprise you. Trial by Jury is now behind us, and if you’re listening to this, hopefully...
-
S3 Ep6: Vanished: Zodiac "Trial by Jury"
Despite countless investigations and numerous suspects over the years, the identity of the Zodiac Killer remains a mystery to this day. But what would it take to try this case in modern times? In order to build a strong case, new looks at Zodiac would need to start with a deep dive back into the...
-
S3 Ep5: Vanished: Zodiac “Many Undiscovered Victims”
You ever heard the phrase slippery slope? Well, we’re all on one right now. This is what it’s like. An overload of information coming at you in rapid succession. Maybe that’ll be a looming theme over this season. So, in the interest and perhaps celebration of speed, Jen and I have decided to hold...
-
S3 Ep4: Vanished: Zodiac "Sick of Living, Unwilling to Die"
The upscale neighborhood of Presidio Heights; in the north side of San Francisco - is a whole world unto itself. You can get anywhere in the city 30 minutes from here. Walking distance to Golden Gate Park with stunning views of the bay. Today, it’s known as one of the safest neighborhoods in...
-
S3 Ep3: Vanished: Judge Crater "Good Time Joe"
The dive into this case has been unmeasurable. What I thought was a case that wouldn't interest me at all, has now become an obsession. Funny how that works out. As we wind down our investigation into the vanishing of Judge Joe Crater, we thought it would be beneficial to bring in an expert on…

S3 Ep2: Vanished: Judge Crater "Judge Crater, Call Your Office"
Disappearances are always hard to understand. Most of the time, we’re looking for someone that was taken from us against their will. Sometimes, they’re a mystery that we can’t explain. Every once in a while though, the disappearance is voluntary, and maybe that’s what we’re dealing with here. Was...
-
S3 Ep1: Vanished: Judge Crater "The Missingest Man in New York"
August 25th, 1930, was the first day of the New York Supreme Court's fall term. But its newest judge didn't show up for court. Justice Joseph Crater's lifelong ambition was to be a judge. By all accounts, he was ecstatic at his recent appointment to the bench by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt.…

S2 Ep14: Vanished: Henry Every "All Hail the Pirate King"
When we were last together, we spoke of DB Cooper, and the only unsolved case of air piracy in US history. Tonight, we take piracy to a whole new level. In the late 1600’s, in just a two year period, a single man would lead a mutiny aboard a ship named Charles the second, become the captain elect...
-
S2 Ep13: Vanished: DB Cooper "Trial by Jury"
If you made it this far, you’re probably in till it’s over and I commend you. We’ve covered a lot of ground so far in a very short time. And now in our final segment together, we take it all the way. But before we all enter the courtroom together, we have a few more stops to make and a few more...
-
S2 Ep12: Vanished: DB Cooper "A Dark Horse"
Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome back to Vanished. In part one of our series, alongside our guests, we discussed the mindset, the story, and the legend of DB Cooper. We also discussed the science being worked on the two largest pieces of physical evidence that we have in this case. And I know what...
-
S2 Ep11: Vanished: DB Cooper " November 24th, 1971"
Welcome back. Anniversaires are fun. And if you’ve followed this show you know that we kind of make a big deal of those around here. January 5th, 1939; after vanishing over the pacific ocean alongside her navigator Fred Noonan, icon Amelia Earhart is declared dead in Absentia. August 31st, 1888,...
-
S2 Ep10: Vanished: John Wilkes Booth "Epilogue"
And now we’ve reached the end. In part 4 I mentioned that we’ve covered this case, in essence, two times. The John Wilkes Booth story represents, for me, a very big struggle for the show because we had to change the structure midway through research, and just before we were set to launch an…

S2 Ep9: Vanished: John Wilkes Booth "Trial by Jury"
It's easy to make extraordinary claims when they're unchallenged. But that's about to change. A few episodes back, I encouraged you to jump down this rabbit hole. And now, I'm here to help you climb back out. Welcome to the fourth episode of our series on John Wilkes Booth. Trial by Jury. LINKS…

S2 Ep8: Vanished: John Wilkes Booth "X Marks the Spot"
I have a lot of heavy lifting to do. In part 3 of our series on John Wilkes Booth, my investigation is in full swing. Joined by a world class guest list, I dive into the case head first in an effort to understand how and why Booth might have escaped, the complex introduction of DNA into the case,...
-
S2 Ep7: Vanished: John Wilkes Booth "They Can Only Hang Me Once"
I’ve been investigating historical mysteries for a long time. And everything always begins with a story. It’s hard to look at our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln as controversial. But he was. As much as he’s now revered the world over for his acts during his presidency, there were many people…
more -
S2 Ep6: Vanished: John Wilkes Booth "The Greatest Story Never Told"
What you’re about to hear really started for me a few years ago. I was just about to leave Los Angeles for our big family move out to the midwest. I was in the Los Angeles Public Library looking through some microfilm on Amelia Earhart when I stumbled back a little too far and found the contents…
more -
S2 Ep5: Vanished: Jack the Ripper "The End of the Beginning"
This is the end. And frankly I’m relieved to be through it. To be honest, when we first decided we’d venture outside the Amelia Earhart case, I had doubts. I still do if I’m being completely honest. But starting with Jack the Ripper was a good experiment for me. It tested my emotional ability to...
-
S2 Ep4: Vanished: Jack the Ripper "Trial by Jury"
On New Years’ Eve 1888, a body was found floating in the Thames at Chiswick. A channel known historically by locals as “the quiet river”. Upon inquisition into the finding, it was said that the body had been in the river for a month. Maybe more. Five days after the body was discovered, the Acton,...

S1 Ep14: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "Prisoner" (Part Two)
“I think everyone that looks at that photo can agree that the two individuals in it are Caucasian. My question for the jury is if they aren’t Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan, who were they? There are people that say well there were probably other white people there. No; there were no other white...

S1 Ep13: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "Prisoner" (Part One)
"There are theories and there is truth. And this is the truth at last." What happened to Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan? Were they simply lost at sea like the United States government claimed, or did they fly to Nikumaroro or maybe reverse course just over their halfway point to Buka? As of part…

S1 Ep12: Vanished Amelia Earhart "A Simpler Explanation"
"It's so hard to identify it because you're looking at the ghost of the air-frame; you're looking at the coral that has grown around the structure and that structure is gone." Crime scenes might be the running theme for this trial. But here’s a scenario that I want to explain to people who aren’t...

S1 Ep10: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "18,000 Feet"
"Until we have that plane in my mind there are other possibilities; even if the witnesses on the stand today say 'highly improbable' that may be so but until we find her plane; until we find her resting place I think that there's always other possibilities." July the 2nd 1937 is a day clouded in...

S1 Ep9: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "Last Flight"
"If they never find her, having her life end with a mystery is still fascinating; in fact, it might be the most fascinating ending that you can have in this case." On June 29th, 1937 a tired Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan touched down in Lae New Guinea having reached the 3-quarter mark of their...
-
S1 Ep8: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "Trial by Jury"
"It’s time to take this entire case; all 82 years of it and burn it all down." When we decided to do this series not too long ago, the first question that I asked was how do we approach a case like this in a way that hasn’t already been done? And how can we make it interesting and fun even? The...

S1 Ep7: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "The Changing"
Spring has arrived. Finally. It’s been a long and brutal winter in Atchison, Kansas. The interesting thing about Spring is that it signals a rebirth. Winter brings death, Spring brings that death back to life. And the birds' chirp. Which is always nice. Six episodes down in this series and…

S1 Ep6: Vanished Amelia Earhart: "The Start of Something New"
