Oct 14, 2022
Show notes
In 2014 the Broaddus family bought their dream home in Westfield, New Jersey. All the preparations were made to begin some serious renovation work before they moved in when an anonymous letter arrived from someone who referred to themselves as 'The Watcher'. Thinly veiled threats were made to the family's children and this person professed to be part of a long line of people watching the house, generation after generation. Who were they and what was their motivation?

Show notes
On 19th September 1990, the body of a teenage girl/young woman was found by workers on the side of the I-40 in Hillsborough, North Carolina.

Sep 26, 2022

In the 1960s, a serial killer roamed the streets of West London, hunting for poor sex workers to be his next victim.

71: The Boy in the Box | UNIDENTIFIED for 65 years
Sep 16, 2022
Show notes
65 years ago, the body of a young boy was found on Susquehanna Road in Philadelphia. Despite one one the biggest searches in state history, and becoming one of the most infamous Doe cases of all time, the boy has never been reunited with his identity, nor given justice for his murder. Genetic genealogy might mean we're close to answers in this case, but spreading the word is always helpful.
71: What happened to Jake Latiolais? | police say suicide but NO EVIDENCE
Sep 09, 2022
Show notes
Police insist that in August 2014, 22 year old Jake Latiolais ended his own life by jumping over the edge of the Horace Wilkinson bridge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, however there has never been any solid evidence to support this theory - and no proper investigation was ever conducted. I've worked closely with Jake's mum, Tina, to bring his story to you today and try to spread the word.

69: Did Mallory and Irvine Summit Everest in 1924?
Aug 16, 2022
Show notes
29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay summited Everest, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine attempted the same. They made one last attempt but tragedy struck and they never made it back down the mountain - for many years neither of their bodies were found and when one was, it only provided more questions than answers. Did they make it?
68: The Tragic Story (and Mystery!) of the Elephant Man
Aug 05, 2022
Show notes
Joseph Merrick was sadly born in a time before modern medicine, born into a world where people with deformities were forced to either live life in the shadows or put themselves on display as a novelty, as freaks. Joseph chose the latter. He never received a proper diagnosis for his illness, that caused him to form growths and tumours all over his body, and still to this day scientists can't answer the question fro certain. What was it that the Elephant Man suffered with?
