MISSING: Bernard Grempel (Surrey, B.C.) Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

Twenty-eight-year-old Bernard "Bernie" Grempel went missing on May 14, 2021. That evening he took the SkyTrain from Surrey to New Westminster before boarding the 340 bus to North Delta around 11 p.m. No one has ever determined if he got off the bus or where.

He's 30 years old, 6' tall, and has a slim build, curly brown hair and brown eyes. I talked to his older sister Ettie Shurack who is searching for her Brother. His family is offering a $50,000 reward for anyone who can help bring Bernie home. Shurack also manages a Facebook group called "Bernard Grempel is Missing," where you can get up-to-date information in their search for Bernard. After two years of searching, Shurack worries about her Brother and says he is a well-liked and popular member of her family and community.

If you have seen Bernard or know where he is, please call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. This is my conversation with Ettie.

MISSING: Thomas Blake - PART 2 - (Big Spring, Texas) Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

In April, I did an episode on Thomas Stephen Blake, who went missing from Big Spring, Texas, in early August 1987. Tom was a truck driver, and after he went missing, his big rig was found idling with a whole load of onions in a rest area several miles from Big Spring, where Tom was last seen. Inside the truck, police found his cigarettes, I.D. and other personal items.

Tom was with a woman at the time who was also missing. In April, I spoke with his sister Linda. In Part 2, I speak with her husband, Jim, who is a former police officer and had some valuable insight into drug running on the U.S.-Mexico border, and whether Tom might have been involved in something like this.

The Death of Autumn Stone - Episode 1 - Divulgence May 24, 2023

Show notes

In this first episode, I talked to Autumn's friends and family about the days and weeks leading up to her death. She was in a new relationship and had fallen head over heels. She soon became engaged and pregnant. But weeks after she had her second child, something sinister occurred: Her second child was injured, and she was distraught. She needed answers and to find out what happened. She planned to meet her fiancé at Green Lake and confront him.

Trailer - The Death of Autumn Stone: A Multiple-Part Series May 11, 2023

Show notes

FIRST FULL EPISODE COMING IN LATE MAY.
---
In the late afternoon on August 30, 2019, in an otherwise sunny and pristine summer afternoon, a body was found floating in Green Lake, a popular recreational and park area in northern Seattle. When police arrived, they pulled a woman from the water. The woman was 23-year-old Autumn Lee Stone.
She had a vest zipped up to her neck. Underneath the vest, shoelaces were tied around her neck, like she had been strangled. She was fully clothed, but her shoes were missing. At the time, the first responders thought it looked suspicious. But when detectives arrived, they quickly started telling the public it was likely a suicide and in just a few weeks, her case was closed.
Immediately, friends and family didn't buy it. Questions began to formulate: How do you kill yourself with shoelaces? How did her body get into the lake? Why was she at Green Lake in the first place? The questions mounted. The police initially remained adamant that there was no indication of defensive wounds or foul play. Then in 2020, the Seattle Police Department suddenly re-opened Autumn's case.
It's been almost four years since Autumn died, and the family is still awaiting justice.
This is the Death of Autumn Stone, a multiple-part series.

MISSING: Jeffrey Dupres - April 24, 1980 (Slave Lake, Alberta) Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

On April 24, 1980, three-year-old blonde curly-haired Jeffrey Dupres headed out the door of his home in Slave Lake, Alberta, to play with his friend Rodney, who lived nearby. He was wearing a long-sleeved beige shirt with brown trim and rust-coloured pants. Jeffrey had flat feet and was wearing dark brown orthopedic shoes as a result.

At around 1 pm, after Jeffrey said he would play with Rodney, his mother, Denise, went to transfer a load of laundry from the washing machine to the dryer. The window was open, and a few minutes later, she heard Rodney’s dad call out for him to come inside. When Denise looked out the window a few minutes later and didn’t see either boy, she assumed they had gone to play inside Rodney’s house, just next door.
But roughly 20 minutes later, Rodney showed up asking for Jeffrey. Something wasn’t right. Denise called the police around 1:45 pm, and within hours, hundreds of volunteer searchers flooded the smoke-engulfed town to search for Jeffrey. But despite these efforts, he’s never been found.
Private investigator Anna James, who works for Recover Agency and on Jeffrey’s case, came on the podcast to talk about what may have happened to Jeffrey and how we, the public, can help.
I encourage you to visit the “What happened to Jeffrey Dupres Facebook Page” to see regular updates on the case. Denise has also started a Go Fund Me to support an investigation into the matter, and if you can support her, it would greatly appreciated. I’ll link both in the description and Anna’s contact info if you can provide any information.

MISSING: Thomas Blake - Aug. 1, 1987 (Big Spring, Texas) Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

Thomas Stephen Blake went missing from Big Spring, Texas, in early August 1987. Tom was a truck driver, and after he went missing, his big rig was found idling with a whole load of onions in a rest area several miles from Big Spring, where Tom was last seen. Inside the truck, police found his cigarettes, I.D. and other personal items.

Tom was with a woman at the time who was also missing. I contacted his sister Linda Bird to discuss Tom's case. Did he leave of his own volition with a new love? Was he running from trouble or the cartel, or was he looking to start life anew?

Listen to my conversation with Linda Bird to discover what may have happened to Tom.

MISSING: Robert McLaughlin - Sept. 25, 2017 (Jacksonville, Florida) Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

35-year-old Robert McLaughlin, also known by "Royal Francis and "Rob Francis," went missing from Jacksonville, Florida, on September 25, 2017. Robert was last seen in his apartment sometime around 10 pm. He left behind his personal belongings, including his wallet and ID, and his car was also left at his building. Robert has a gold tooth, a chipped right tooth, and tattoos on both his arms and is said to have had a full beard and was wearing a black shirt and shorts around the time of his disappearance. He's about 5'10 and 210 pounds. A few years before his disappearance, Robert was in an accident that left him with a severe head injury that impacted his short and long-term memory.

I was able to get a hold of Robert's former roommate Bella. Bella is close friends with Robert, who lived with him in Florida at the time he went missing. She has since moved back to the Netherlands but continues to search for what happened to her friend. In 2020, Bella started a podcast titled #findrobfrancis and detailed the information she knew leading up to his disappearance. Bella came on the show to talk about Robert, her podcast, and what may have happened to her musically gifted friend.
