Show notes

In the early hours of March 18, 1990, two men dressed as police officers arrived at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. After convincing the security guards to let them inside, the men restrained the guards and spent the next 81 minutes moving through the museum.

Show notes

On July 18, 2007, 55-year-old Barbara Bolick set out on a hike to her favorite overlook in Montana's Bitterroot National Forest with a family friend. It was a trail she knew by heart and had hiked countless times before.

But during the hike, Barbara disappeared without a trace. According to the only witness, she was just 20 to 30 feet behind him when he turned away for less than a minute. When he looked back, she was gone.

Despite extensive searches, investigators found no sign of Barbara, no evidence of what happened, and no clear answers. More than 19 years later, her disappearance remains one of Montana's most baffling unsolved mysteries.

If you have any information, please contact the Montana Missing Persons Clearinghouse, (406) 444-2800.

148: Elisa Roberson | She Walked Out the Door... Then Vanished Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

On August 6, 1989, 13-year-old Elisa Roberson left her home in Aransas Pass, Texas, to meet a friend at a nearby elementary school. It was a walk she had made before and should have taken only a few minutes.

But Elisa never arrived, prompting her family to report her missing that night. A wide-scale search began the following morning, and bloodhounds tracked Elisa's scent to a nearby intersection, where it abruptly ended, leading investigators to believe she had been abducted.

But more than 37 years later, Elisa has never been found, and what happened to her remains a mystery.

If you have information in Elisa’s case, please call the Texas Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477). There is a reward available.

146: Captain Michael O’Mara | The Mysterious Death of a Decorated Officer Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

On the evening of May 30, 1988, 48-year-old Police Captain Michael O'Mara left home to run a few errands.

He never made it home.

That night, another officer found Mike dead in a grassy area outside the county courthouse. Within hours, investigators declared he had taken his own life.

But Mike's family and friends refused to believe it. They feared he had been murdered, possibly by another officer or by the mafia.

Despite those concerns, more than 38 years later, Mike's manner of death remains undetermined, and one question still remains: What really happened to Captain Michael O'Mara?

If you have information in this case, you can contact the Cook County Sheriff’s Police at 708-865-4700.
