19 year old Steen Fenrich disappeared from Queens, NY in September of 1999. His 20th birthday passed, as did Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. All during that time, no one, including his parents, reported him missing. March of 2000, a man walking through a park in Queens found a faded plastic tote. Inside were human remains that someone had attempted to burn in acid. The skin and flesh were pulled away from the skull to reveal someone had taken a permanent marker and wrote the victims social security number on it, as well as a racial and gay slur.
2 Quickies, first one from Washington DC in October of 2024 and the second in Bangladesh, also in October of 2024.

OMG this has episode has been a beast to get right! First only 3 minutes uploaded and then I uploaded an unedited version apparently....sigh! Here's the one it should be!
And I am not putting all the resources back in the show notes...just trust I didn't steal the material from another podcaster...
I'm sorry this particular episode has been a struggle to get out!
