The story of The Boy in the Box, also known as America's Unknown Child, is not a happy one. For 65 years the identity of that child found on a cold and rainy February morning in the Fox Chase neighborhood of Philadelphia remained a mystery. In December of 2022, his identity was finally released to the public. A good measure of closure, to be sure, but a question remains unanswered: with the knowledge that this was a homicide, who was the culprit?  Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

Half a million people go missing in the United States each year. Approximately 1% of them are indigenous women, but that small percentage obscures a dark truth: Native American women are less likely to be found, more likely to be victims of interracial crime, and they are less likely to see justice due to a litany of jurisdictional and social issues. Their disappearances and deaths are referred to as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, or MMIW for short. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...   To help out with the problem of MMIW, consider writing to your congressional representative, donating to an organization that supports Native Women, or spreading word about the situation.

On November 10th, 2014, Kenny Veach set off into the Mojave Desert to prove the existence of what would become known as "the M cave." Though he'd made this trek at least twice before, and once on camera, he was still uncertain of the exact location of his destination. Unfortunately, he would never return from his trip.
