Episode 143 - The Disappearance of Jacob Millison

If you’ve ever watched shows like Yellowstone - you know that sometimes out west on a Ranch, there are secrets: secrets never supposed to leave the corral. This was something a ranch hand would discover firsthand, in Gunnison, Colorado in 2017, after witnessing two other ranchers, uncover something horrific. While digging in the horse corral with a backhoe…they unearthed what appeared to be rib bones…human rib bones - poking out from a dirty white sheet of plastic. It was at that moment the ranch hand was told: “You know you can’t ever leave now, right?” How to support: For extra perks including extra content, early release, and ad-free episodes - Go to - Patreon How to connect: Website Instagram Facebook Twitter Research & Writing: Ryan Deininger Sources: The Atlantic Denver Post Office of the District Attorney Dateline: Trouble at the 7-11 Ranch Oxygen  Crested Butte News Mercury News Daily Mail  Denver Post  Gunnison Country Times

Episode 142 - 7 Minutes

Monday, April 23rd, 2018 was a surprisingly warm day in Toronto, Ontario, causing residents to be out in droves, ditching their winter coats, eager to enjoy the sunshine. Among those taking advantage of the warmer weather, was 68 year old Catherine Riddell, headed to the library off of Yonge Street, when a van suddenly struck her from behind. The vehicle had hit Catherine with such force, it sent her body flying in the air, before crashing through a transit shelter. The strange thing was, Catherine hadn’t been hit crossing the street. She’d been walking on the sidewalk.
