... and we all thought Rory was the Nasty White Boy Heavyweight Champion of the World... The guys start the episode off with a brief recap of their first live show of the season in Chicago, right before getting into the real show - Tory Lanez vs. August Alsina, and why the real Will Smith owes him 100 favors. They try to figure out what the hell is wrong with Gen Z and their obsession with poisoning themselves, before briefly touching on Kanye's current media headlines. They then get into the story of Adam Levine's "alleged" affair (I mean, we all know he did that shit, but sure, lets shoot him bail), and talk about Ime Udoka cheating on our favorite black woman as well.

They say that hindsight is 20/20. In 2017, it’s tempting to look back at how this case was handled (or mishandled according to many), and start hurling rocks. But context is everything.    I try to put myself in law enforcement’s shoes in 1996. There were no email logs to check. No cell phone towers to triangulate. Hell, Cindy didn’t even have a working phone at the house. This leaves eyewitness accounts as the crux of the evidence available in this case.    And while many cases have been solved because of eyewitness testimony, it is the lease favorite means of law enforcement and prosecutors to bring about justice.   And in listening to this podcast, you can see why. From the way the house was found to the legion of possible motives, every theory from witnesses spawns new questions, not answers.   Many people I have talked to have stated that police dropped the ball. And with the case remaining unsolved for almost 21 years, that statement gets very little criticism. If law enforcement didn't mess this thing up, it would’ve been solved long ago, right?   In the ten year period between 2001 and 2011, Milan had a total of five homicides. From 1976 to 1995, it had twelve. Milan, Tn is a far cry from the ground zero of violent crime. I don’t think the television show, The First 48, is going to set up camp there anytime soon. Unfortunately, the way to get better at solving abductions and homicides is to have a lot of practice. So on one hand, the residents of Milan can be thankful that they live in a relatively safe area. On the other, when something like the disappearance of Cayce McDaniel happens, the local police can easily find themselves in uncharted territory.   This episode is going to try to piece together the timeline of those early days after Cayce’s disappearance. It’s time to look at the information that we have on this case, and see at how it was handled by law enforcement: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.   I’m Brandon Barnett. And this is Searching For Ghosts   It is apparent from the news articles in those early days of Cayce’s disappearance that there was much confusion about how to classify this case. Remember this from last episode? Sound Clip “Hybrid abduction/runaway."   An August 21, 1996 article of The Jackson Sun had a sub-title that read : QUOTE “Authorities are beginning to suspect the Milan teenager was kidnapped.” UNQUOTE   The article goes on to say that the department was seeking assistance from the TBI and the television show “America’s Most Wanted”, as well as contacting local media outlets to circulate Cayce’s photo and description.     The article also states that QUOTE: “After searching the McDaniel home and finding none of Cayce’s personal belongings missing, investigators started treating the case as an abduction. They searched the residence for fingerprints Tuesday.” UNQUOTE   This was four days into the investigation.   This is what receives so much criticism from the people that I talk to about this case. Sound clip: “Cathy/Dawn"   One month later, in the Sept. 15, 1996 edition of The Jackson Sun, Cindy’s boyfriend Steve was quoted with a similar complaint. QUOTE   “Police did not come to the house until a week after Cayce disappeared,” Steve says. Then, the police wanted to know why the scene wasn’t just the way it was a week earlier—why stuff had been moved. I asked where they’d been when they were needed.”UNQUOTE"   While it wasn’t a week later, his point is noted.  But it should also be noted that Cayce wasn’t reported missing until around 2pm on Saturday, August 17th, some twelve hours later after Cindy came home and found the house with the door open. So, the possible crime scene theoretically could’ve been tainted in that twelve hour period. But twelve hours is still much better than 3 1/2 to 4 days. It appears that the time lag in treating the house as a crime scene goes back to initially looking at the case as a runaway situation.   This same article has Cindy being critical of law enforcement. QUOTE”    Cindy, too, is bitter about the police not helping any faster. She believes the wait to get the TBI and the FBI involved lost valuable time.” UNQUOTE   According to reports in the media, It was announced four days in that the TBI had been contacted, and the FBI on day five.   Ten days after Cayce was reported missing, the composite sketch mentioned in Ep.2 was released to the media. Also, the FBI pulled out of the investigation because there was no evidence that she had been transported across state lines.   Cayce’s story was aired on “America’s Most Wanted” on August 31st, just two weeks after she was officially reported missing. That’s pretty impressive, in my opinion, to get this on the national radar.   After the America’s Most Wanted airing, a tip of a reported sighting came in reporting that Cayce was seen hitchhiking with an older man in Hayti, MO. Hayti is just across the Mississippi River from Dyersburg, TN, where Cayce had reportedly been seen at a local Walmart. There are no reports that the FBI re-entered the case after these sightings, which should’ve met the crossing state lines burden if the tips were deemed credible.   In the next couple of months, investigators released to the media that they had questioned a Carroll County teen, and were looking into a rape suspect in Nashville that matched the composite sketch. Both of these leads were fruitless.   In the September 15, 1996 edition of the Jackson Sun, the term runaway is again the term used for what happened to Cayce, not abduction. QUOTE: "   Lieutenant Jerry Hartsfield of the Milan PD says there have been runaways in Milan before, but Cayce is the first one who hasn’t been located quickly. “It really bothers me that all the people at the church said she seemed just fine the night of the party. I think she ran. Maybe she left with somebody she knew, somebody she felt comfortable with and then couldn’t get back.”UNQUOTE   Just from looking at available news reports, it appears that once the abduction word was being floated around, that’s when real movement started to happen. But it appears that the runaway theory was still there as well.    It was four days in before terms like “foul play” and “abduction” were being used in the media. It is also important to note that local media was not as quick to report on this case. The first news report about Cayce in The Jackson Sun that I can find is August 19th, 1996—two days after she was reported missing. It could be that they weren’t contacted by law enforcement, but there is another possibility. President Clinton was in West Tennessee at this time, campaigning for his second term in office. One thing that hasn’t changed in two decades is how politics can make us lose sight of everyday life.   When looking at the timeline, it’s unfair to say that law enforcement were completely incompetent, especially after those first few days. But when dealing with an abduction and possible murder, those first few days are the most crucial.   And if initially classifying this as a runaway is what has thrown this case off from the beginning, you would think that law enforcement would have spent a lot of their time going through Cayce’s belongings for some sort of indication that she was planning on running away.   Remember the interview I did with Dawn who helped bring Valorie the search and rescue dog to town? She also had this to say: Soundclip: Dawn: Cleaning out Cayce’s school locker   In my opinion, going through a fourteen year old’s school locker is the 1996 equivalent of searching email or web site history. In 1996, If you want to know what a teenage girl is thinking, check the notes she writes and receives to classmates. Look at the doodles on her notebook covers. To be fair, I know that police do have possession of Cayce’s diary.   For me personally, my biggest complaint is how police have decided to not cooperate in any way with this podcast. The message I received from the mayor’s office that they didn’t want any media involvement was heard LOUD AND CLEAR. And I get it…to some extent.   But this is the 21st Century. The role that podcasts have recently played in bringing justice is undeniable. Whether it’s the wrongfully accused in Adnan Sayed to a cold missing persons case in Tara Grinstead, law enforcement in this country and others are using the podcast as an investigative tool.   One of my favorite podcasts is from The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and David Ridgen. It’s called Someone Knows Something. Here’s a clip from Season 2.  Law Enforcement agrees to sit down with David, and even though they remain relatively tight lipped, David still comes away with more info than he had when he walked in.   Soundclip: SKS   Naively, this is how I thought it was going to be with Searching For Ghosts. And to be frank: it’s the way it should be.   So I wanted this episode to be an objective look at how police have handled this case. There is no need in just pointing fingers and assigning blame. That isn’t the purpose of this. But law enforcement does need to be held under the microscope to see if there is anything that they missed that help in solving this case.   I’m sure you remember reference of a possible telephone call made from Cayce that night at the church. I couldn’t get that out of my head once I heard that. But what are you going to do? You need a court order to get those records. I’ve heard that police never looked into this but that this podcast had caused them to investigate this now. I wish that I could say that hearing that made me rest easier. But it didn’t.   But in investigating this case and talking to various people, the phone call was brought up almost in passing from a friend of Cayce’s at the time. She agreed to talk to me on the record, but requested her name not be used. Soundclip: Phone call/friend   This is why it is so important to go through this thing slowly, and try to look at everything, especially from the night in question. This might’ve not been a pick-up call from Cayce, this could’ve simply been a call to get permission to stay the night with a friend. But if this were never investigated, how do we know? Since Cindy didn’t have a working phone at the house, who did Cayce call? How many calls did she make? If law enforcement never looked into this, what else was missed?

The producers of S-Town, and what else they've worked on. You are listening to Podcast Playlist, a podcast about podcasts, where I, Brendan Hutchins, share what I've been listening to, and why you should listen, too. This is my third and final episode in a series devoted to S-Town, this time exploring the producers, their backgrounds, and some of their previous work. People know I love podcasts and are asking all the time, "Brendan! What podcasts should I listen to? What's good? Any new shows out there?" Okay, that doesn't happen. It's more like they're just standing there, unaware of what is about to happen to their ears, and I barrage them with "Oh man! Have you heard about Harmontown? Wasn't last week's Magic Tavern silly? What'd you think of Serial?" Few podcasts have penetrated the mainstream the way Serial has. The team behind the biggest podcast success launched their newest show S-Town, and I told you all about it in the previous two episodes. S-Town only took one week to reach 16 million downloads, which is a fourth of the time it took Serial season two and an eighth the time it took Serial season one. () S-Town is the love child of Serial and This American Life, taking after both, and standing on its own in a brilliant way. These producers created a new experience for listeners, not only familiar but also a remarkable blend of genres. Let's go back to the sources and see why their collaboration works so well. This is Brian Reed's first podcast as the full time host. Previously, he produced a few of my favorite segments for This American Life including articles from episode 513 "129 Cars,” episode 524 "I Was So High,” and episode 547 "Cops See It Differently.” Brian’s delivery has a genuine and affable quality, and he charms people to acquire the real story someone may be reluctant to share. On the episode "129 Cars," This American Life goes to a car dealership to get the real story about the different tactics salesmen use to meet their monthly quota. Brian tries to interview Manny, the top car salesman on the lot, who wants no part of the radio interviews, but Brian persists and finds an opening. Here's a clip:∿∿∿ Brian's ability to read anything his subject throws at him, and that he keeps coming back for more, allows him to get close, personal, and emotional stories. Similarly, in S-Town, Brian reads John McLemore's recommended short stories by Shirley Jackson, Guy de Maupassant, and William Faulkner the first night they meet in Alabama. Brian just picks up The Art Of War and jumps back into interviewing Manny, showing his dedication to understanding the subject he’s covering "129 Cars" of This American Life actually has a web-exclusive clip by Sarah Koenig, his future partner on S-Town. Sarah Koenig is an award-winning journalist and worked at This American Life for a few years, but she may be most well known for her reporting on what was the biggest podcast before S-Town, Serial. The first season covered the flawed case against Adnan Sayed for the murder of Hae Min Lee. The second season focused on the story of Bowe Bergdahl who was charged for leaving his post in Afghanistan. Both seasons of Serial are some of the best podcasting in terms of compelling narratives and amazing reporting. Here is one of my favorite clips from season one where Sarah is trying to justify the state’s timeline to Producer Dana Chivvis:∿∿∿ It's pretty amazing that Sarah explains the scenario so clearly, but this clip also cracks me up and entertains for a few reasons. First, Sarah hints that she knows a thing or two about pot. Second, the producers leave in their human interactions. Lastly, Sarah breaks from the story to comment on her partner Dana. Such a great show. Sidenote: If you enjoyed following Hae and Adnon's story from Serial season one, check out the podcast Undisclosed linked in the show notes. Undisclosed is hosted by three lawyers including Rabia Chaudry who originally brought the Adnon case to Sarah Koenig. They dive deep into the minutia of one case per season and uncover all the details that the state fails to reveal in criminal cases against the wrongfully convicted. Starlee Kine is the story consultant for S-Town, so I’m going to take this opportunity to share her previous podcast, Mystery Show, as it also includes long unedited phone calls, exposing quirks and passions, and has multiple mysteries that have satisfying resolutions. I hadn’t re-listened to Mystery Show until I was pulling clips for this episode, and it made me laugh so hard I cried. Mystery Show was my favorite podcast of 2015. Produced by Gimlet Media for one season, Starlee narrates her quirky adventures as she attempts to solve weird mysteries in her guests’ lives. The first episode is about how Laura rents a video from a store, and the next day the store is shut down and empty! What happened? My favorite episode by far is called Britney where Andrea, a not-so-well-known author, sees a photo of Britney Spears holding Andrea's book! How'd she get it? Did she like it? Starlee goes to awesome lengths to answer these questions and more. [Britney clip 1] Similar to S-Town, many books are mentioned during the episode. Here is a list of books that they could find that Britney Spears has read. [Britney clip 2] The part that I love best about Starlee's production style is the long conversations and therapist-style probing questions. In this clip, Starlee is talking with the customer service representative for a concert ticket vendor to help with her investigation. [Britney clip 3] Many of the S-Town producers that you don’t hear on the show are seasoned professionals from This American Life. Julie Snyder is the executive producer of S-Town and is the co-creator of Serial. Before that she was a senior producer at This American Life. Ira Glass, the host of This American Life, was an editorial advisor for S-Town, as was Neil Drumming who is a producer at This American Life, often covering race and family. The whole production team is top notch and it permeates through almost every moment of the show. Through the combined work of many great producers, and Ira Glass insisting that Brian record everything always, pod-listeners were all able to experience a new level of audio storytelling and start the next chapter of podcasting with S-Town. I've seen many requests on Facebook and Twitter for other podcasts to listen to that can fill the void left after listening to S-Town, but for the same reasons S-Town is special, it's impossible to give a good recommendation of another podcast. I could list some true-crime podcasts, or human-interest podcasts, or narrative podcasts, but none of them have that literature quality. As much as it pains me to say it, to fill the void left by S-Town, you may need to look into audiobooks. I have a link in the show notes for BookRiot's video on what to read after S-Town. Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood and Norman Mailer’s The Executioner's Song are recommendations from my wife Sarah. They’re both close journalistic examinations of murderers, great for anyone who wanted more murder mystery than S-Town provided. You can find more about S-Town at Stownpodcast.org, and the links will be in the show notes. There is also a Facebook group and a subbreddit, r/stownpodcast.
