The Vanishing of the Springfield Three Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

It was on June 6 of that year when two Missouri teenagers and one of their mothers vanished without a trace after a graduation ceremony and have never been seen again. There was no valid reason for the three of them to disappear. They weren’t running from anything or looking for a new life. They’d just celebrated the event of a lifetime and had everything to live for.

So, where did the three of them go? And why have they never been found? We don’t know. The shocking and tragic events of graduation night have created a haunting mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

The Disappearance Of Amy Lynn Bradley Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

On March 24, 1998, a young woman named Amy Lynn Bradley vanished from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship while it was on its way to Curacao. Cruises seem to be an escape from reality, but crime happens on board, too. Most reported crimes are, unfortunately, sexual assaults but other things can happen, just like anywhere when you put that many people into one confined space.

The Disappearance of the Jamison Family Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

When the Jamison family of Eufala, Oklahoma, vanished in October 2009, it got the attention of the entire country. They seemingly disappeared without a trace one night, which was strange enough, but the story that led up to their disappearance was outright bizarre.

Ghosts of the Mineral Springs Hotel (Revisiting Alton, Illinois) Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Much has changed at the Mineral Springs since it opened more than a century ago, but if you stand in the lobby – when the lighting is just right – you almost expect to see guests in old-fashioned clothing as they hurry past on their way to a mineral cure or to have a cocktail in the hotel bar.

And if the stories are true – they still do.

Join us in this special 10-episode "on the side" season as we revisit new and updated stories from our very first season of the podcast on Alton, Illinois, based on the new edition of HAUNTED ALTON by Troy Taylor, available below.

The Missing Candy Heiress (The Mystery Of Helen Brach) Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

This is not an easy story to tell. It has a lot of twists, turns, and subplots and, as we mentioned last week, even a connection to several other cases in the Chicago area around this same time. Here is the story of Helen Brach.

Graveyards Of Alton (Revisiting Alton, Illinois) Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Every town has a story like the one you just heard. Some places, like Alton, have more than one. Most people dismiss stories like that as nothing more than folklore – a tale to be told around the campfire – but I can’t help but wonder how some of these stories got started in the first place...
