On Sunday morning, August 12, 1984, thirteen-year-old Eugene Wade Martin left his home in Des Moines, Iowa, to deliver the Sunday paper. He was five days away from his fourteenth birthday. He was saving money for the fair and a bicycle. But somewhere along the way, Eugene's paper route stopped. His newspapers were found. But Eugene was gone. Less than two years earlier, another Des Moines Register carrier, Johnny Gosch, had vanished from his own Sunday morning route. So when Eugene disappeare...

On May 4, 2026, Jason Chen returned to Hamilton County Criminal Court in Chattanooga, Tennessee, asking for a new trial in the murder case of Jasmine Pace. Chen's defense argued that issues from the original trial warranted another chance to make his case, including questions about evidence, the search of Chen's apartment, and the presence of Jasmine's family members in the courtroom. Judge Boyd Patterson denied the motion, stating that the arguments had already been litigated and that the cour...

In September of 1981, the Oklahoma State Fair was in full swing; bright lights, crowded walkways, and the kind of place where parents felt safe letting their kids roam free. That's where 13-year-old friends Charlotte Kinsey and Cinda Pallett were last seen. After being offered what seemed like a harmless job unloading stuffed animals, the girls left the fairgrounds with a man they didn't know. They even called home to tell their parents about the job, and were told to call back later to arrange ...

In April 1980, fourteen-year-old Laureen Rahn vanished from her home in Manchester, New Hampshire. There were no signs of a struggle. No witnesses. No clear explanation for how a teenager could disappear from a third-floor apartment in the middle of the night. In the hours that followed, investigators were left with only a handful of details - a friend asleep inside, an open back door, and a timeline that stopped at the moment Laureen moved from her bed to the couch. Months later, a series of...

Missing Persons Cases of the 1980's The 1980s felt wide open. Kids rode their bikes for miles without anyone worrying. The rule was simple: be home when the streetlights came on. It was the decade of roller rinks and mall food courts… Cassette tapes and bedroom posters… Whitney Houston and Bon Jovi blasting from the radio. Life moved at a different pace. A little unsupervised. A little innocent. But beneath that nostalgia sits a quieter truth. Because during those same ordinary nights and r...

In this bonus episode, Sara and Andrea return to the story of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans to reflect on the questions that still remain — the ones that linger long after the DNA match and the headlines. Drawing from listener messages, they revisit the cyclist attack that first brought Darrell David Rice to investigators' attention, the terrain surrounding Julie and Lollie's hidden campsite, the delays that shaped the early search, and the haunting gaps the evidence could never fill.

Nearly three decades after the murders of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, a new team inside the FBI's Richmond field office reopened the Shenandoah case. This time, the science had changed. With funding from the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), old evidence was retested using technology that hadn't existed in 1996. What they found would break the silence of the case, and finally name the man responsible. As DNA revealed a serial offender with a violent past, investigators finally closed o...

Six years after the murders of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an indictment against Darrell David Rice - the man they believed was responsible for the killings in Shenandoah National Park. It was a landmark case, to be prosecuted under new federal hate-crime laws, and for a moment it seemed justice was finally within reach. But as the trial approached, the cracks beneath the case began to widen. Witnesses wavered, timelines shifted, and the forensic ev...

One year after the murders of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, a cyclist named Yvonne Malbasha was attacked on Skyline Drive inside Shenandoah National Park.

Episode Three captures the moment the investigation shifted fr...
