Evaporated: Gone with the Gods — True Crime
Evaporated: Gone with the Gods

What if someone close to you just … vanished one day? That happens to tens of thousands of families a year in Japan, and it happened to Jake Adelstein, too, back in 2018 — when his accountant disappeared, just before tax day. Adelstein, the author of Tokyo Vice, and co-host Shoko Plambeck go in search of that missing accountant, and take us on a journey into the fascinating and bizarre world of Japan’s johatsu, or “evaporated” people.

What She Buried: Secrets, Lies, and Concrete Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

"A man goes missing. Fifteen months later, his family finds a fresh concrete slab poured in his backyard. What's buried underneath changes everything.

Five years ago, journalist Justine van der Leun started sending letters to Kwaneta Harris, a convicted murderer in a Texas prison. She was also a gifted writer, ""Mama Detroit"" to the women around her. She swore the story wasn’t what it seemed.

So Justine went digging. What she found was a decade-long relationship curdled, a body under a concrete slab, and a trail of stolen identities and lies. Who is Kwaneta Harris?

From the team behind The Evaporated, What She Buried⁠ is available now on ⁠The Binge Cases⁠ feed, wherever you get your podcasts. If you don’t subscribe to The Binge+ on Apple or Patreon where you get all episodes instantly and ad-free, follow the show so you get every Monday release.
