Wyoming : Don Kemp Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

Don Kemp was a hot shot advertising executive on Madison Avenue in New York during the 70s and 80s. A major accident left him questioning his life. It took years for him to recover and when he did, he decided to sell off all his belongings and move to a slower paced life in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Don was obsessed with the Abraham Lincoln assassination and decided he would live in a cabin and write a book about the historical event. He almost made it to his destination after a very long road trip when his vehicle was found running on the side of the road, but Don was nowhere in sight. Three days of searching leads to very little clues to what happened to Don Kemp.

The Merlot Files : Danniella Vian Jul 13, 2022

July 16, 2018 was set to be a core memory for Danniella Vian. After working double shifts for months to save enough money to purchase her own vehicle, Danniella went down to Pearl Motors in Mobile, Alabama and drove away in a 2014 Chevy Cruz. This was the first step to gaining custody of her daughter and building a life together. Danniella went out that night with friends to celebrate and would never be seen alive again. Almost a year later, Danniella's Chevy Cruz was found submerged in a Bayou 17 miles north of where Danniella was last known to be. When investigators were able to search, human remains were found inside later to be identified as Danniella.
