On September 20, 1988, nineteen-year-old Terra Leigh Calico set out on her morning bike ride along Highway 47 in Valencia County, New Mexico. She never came home. In the nearly 37 years since her disappearance, this case has become one of America's most haunting unsolved mysteries, defined by a chilling Polaroid photograph discovered in a Florida parking lot and decades of whispered accusations that have never led to justice. But the story most people know is only part of the truth. In this episode of The Redacted Report, we pull back the curtain on the facts that never made it into the official narrative. We examine evidence that was lost, destroyed, or never properly collected, including a suitcase containing telephone wire found during a drug investigation at a nearby motel and later destroyed by a detective.We explore persistent rumors of a pink bicycle and underwear with Terra's initials that were allegedly found but never logged as evidence, and we reveal the shocking truth about the Walkman and cassette tape pieces that were analyzed and determined not to belong to Terra at all. This episode takes a hard look at witnesses who were overlooked or ignored, including a pivotal eyewitness who reported seeing a group of four or five young men and one woman waiting in Terra's path on the morning she vanished. That witness is now dead, their full account lost to time. We also examine the story of a man named Ishmael who came forward, was placed under hypnosis, identified a suspect from a photo lineup, and then was abandoned by the detective who was supposed to follow up with him. We explore the chilling connection to David Parker Ray, the Toy Box Killer, who was born in Belen and whose family had a ranch near where Terra disappeared. Ray closely resembled the composite sketch of the man seen following Terra, but FBI investigators ruled him out based on his meticulous record-keeping, which contained no mention of Terra Calico. With Ray eliminated as a suspect, investigators turned their attention to local young men who allegedly knew Terra and had been harassing her for months before she vanished.The episode delves deep into the mysteries surrounding the Polaroid photographs, including the famous Port Saint Joe image and two additional photographs found in California and on an Amtrak train. We examine the phone number written on the spine of the V.C. Andrews novel in the photograph, which yielded 300 possible combinations and 57 valid phone numbers, none of which produced any leads. We discuss the beach sighting of a young woman matching the photograph being given verbal orders by several men, and we address Marilyn Manson's claim that he used to drop similar staged photographs in Florida as pranks. We reveal the threatening notes that were left on Terra's car for months before her disappearance, notes that were dismissed as high school antics and have since disappeared from the evidence record. We examine the case of Debra Lansdell, a 29-year-old woman from nearby Peralta who vanished on September 21, 1985, almost exactly three years before Terra and nearly to the exact day.The episode covers the breakthrough that came in October 2020 when the Rocky Mountain Information Network completed a two-year analysis of the case and recommended pursuing loose ends that had never been fully explored. We discuss the sealed search warrant executed in September 2021 and the June 2023 announcement that law enforcement believes there is sufficient evidence to submit the case to the District Attorney's Office for potential charges. We examine the statute of limitations problems that complicate prosecution and the ongoing search efforts, including the September 2025 mine shaft investigation that employed fly traps designed to attract insects that feed on human remains.This is a story about more than just one missing woman. It is a story about systemic failures, about evidence that was mishandled or destroyed, about witnesses who were ignored, about a community that may have known the truth for decades and chosen to remain silent. It is a story about families who waited their entire lives for answers and died without ever receiving them.The FBI reward of $20,000 remains in place. Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the Valencia County Sheriff's Office at 505-866-2400 or submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov.After 37 years, the truth is still out there. Someone knows what happened on Highway 47 that September morning. This episode is a call to finally break the silence.

In this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, we investigate a major class-action filing aimed at stopping the California DMV from canceling nearly 20,000 commercial driver's licenses due to administrative errors. The Lawsuit Targets California DMV Over Administrative Failures Affecting 20,000 CDL Drivers argues that these cancellations disproportionately affect the Sikh community and pose an immediate risk to the stability of the supply chain. We also break down critical leadership updates in maritime governance, including the Senate confirmation of former Maersk executive Stephen Carmel as the administrator of the Maritime Administration. As the Marad chief, FMC nominee confirmed, these new appointees are set to fill vital gaps in the agencies that regulate U.S. ocean and port logistics. Finally, we discuss the rejection of an ambitious rail initiative after Amtrak turns down the ‘Transcontinental Chief' proposal, citing a lack of a fundamental business case for the 72-hour transcontinental service. AmeriStarRail now plans to lobby Congress to force negotiations for the drive-aboard train service in hopes of launching by the 2028 Olympics. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hunter Biden is an American attorney, businessman, and author and the son of President Joe Biden. Born in Delaware and shaped by profound personal tragedies and a diverse career in finance, policy, and international ventures. His mother and sister passed away in a car accident when he was young, and his brother, who survived the accident, later passed at age 46 from brain cancer. Married to Melissa Cohen, with whom he has one child. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Georgetown University and earned a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School, before working briefly as a Jesuit volunteer in Portland, Oregon, and transitioning into banking and politics. Biden built his early career at MBNA America, then served at the United States Department of Commerce, focusing on e-commerce policy during the Clinton administration. In 2001, he co-founded the lobbying firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, which worked on issues including online gambling. He served as a board member of Amtrak and is a founding partner of Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment and advisory firm. He previously was on the board of BHR Partners, a China-based private equity firm, and from 2014 to 2019, he served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, amid political investigations. In 2013, Biden joined the U.S. Navy Reserve as an ensign, but was discharged in 2014.

Epic landscapes deserve an equally epic way to travel. We're diving into the romance and reality of rail: why trains make holidays start at the platform, how sleepers turn miles into memories, and which routes around the world are worth planning your next adventure around.We start with five reasons trains win: lower emissions and real sustainability gains, genuine comfort with room to move, dining cars and proper beds on night services, centre-to-centre arrivals that beat transfers, and the human connection that long-haul flights often erase. From there, we share our top 10 rides: Norway's Flåm Railway twisting from fjord to mountain, Scotland's Highlander leg of the Caledonian Sleeper, the Night Riviera to Penzance with a seaside breakfast, Vietnam's Reunification Express and its restful private berths, and Japan's immaculate Shinkansen that makes precision feel effortless. Add New Zealand's TranzAlpine across the Southern Alps, Switzerland's UNESCO Bernina route, Sri Lanka's lush Ella to Kandy journey with open windows and waves, India's Nilgiri Mountain Railway “toy train,” and Amtrak's unhurried yet soulful Coast Starlight.We also open our notebook of dreams. The Ghan across Australia's red centre calls with big skies and outback tones. Canada's Rocky Mountaineer tempts us with glass-domed cars through the Rockies. And South Africa's Rovos Rail pairs classic carriages with sweeping views to Cape Town and beyond. Along the way we share booking tips, comfort hacks, and how to swap premium expresses for local trains without losing the scenery. If you're craving slow travel, rail itineraries, sleeper train advice, or scenic routes that deliver real immersion, this conversation is your map.Got a favourite rail journey we missed?

Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message Each year, Bloodworks Northwest sets aside December 18th as Washington State Blood Donor Day. It's a day that comemorates the Amtrak 501 derailment near DuPont on Decemeber 18th, 2017. But it also shines a light on the need to be ready BEFORE disasters like that occur. The derailment killed three and injured dozens and crippled transportation in Western Washington for days. Bloodworks Northwest's Juan Cotto spearheaded the effort to get the day set aside a few years ago but as Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager found out, it wasn't the last time he'd be at the center of a statewide blood donation awareness campaign. 

It's Castaway Cay day on the Disney Fantasy, and things don't go quite like the brochure. In this episode, we talk about our “5K” experience on the island (heavy on the quotation marks), earning a very plastic medal, and trying to find our happy place on the adults-only Serenity Bay beach. From shallow, seagrassy water to crowded chairs and long walks for a decent float, we share the good, the bad, and the funny of Disney's private island while still finding those little magical moments that make it worth the sunscreen. Then it's back to reality as we disembark and trade cruise decks for train tracks on the long Amtrak ride home. We compare Disney's polished service with the very… different vibe of the train, talk about cranky fellow travelers, and reflect on how, in the end, it's the people—both cast members and fellow guests—who really make the magic, even when the logistics don't.

The U.S. is increasing pressure on Venezuela, sanctioning three nephews of First Lady Cilia Flores, two of whom are known narcotics smugglers. it comes after the U.S. seized an oil tanker with alleged links to terrorist groups. Venezuela calls the action piracy, while the White House says the U.S. intends to take the oil from the vessel.The Indiana State Senate voted down a new congressional map yesterday 31-19, that would have favored Republicans. That's despite having a 40-10 Republican super-majority in the chamber. The redrawn map would have given Indiana Republicans all nine of the state's U.S. House seats, two more compared to what they currently have. Republicans and Democrats are separated by just 3 seats in the U.S. House, and redistricting could determine control of the chamber in the 2026 midterms.Days of torrential rain have triggered historic flooding in Washington state, leaving families stranded, sweeping away homes, and prompting rescues. Tens of thousands remain under evacuation orders. The storms have shut roads and halted Amtrak service between Seattle and Vancouver. Officials warn the powerful atmospheric river is pushing rivers toward record levels.

Sara Billiet joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to introduce the new Director of the Kewanee Public Library, David Eckert, and talk about upcoming events heading into the holiday season. The Kewanee Public Library has officially welcomed new director David Eckert, who brings three decades of library experience, including a start as a children's librarian. Library staff are encouraging community participation in several upcoming programs. Due to Baker & Taylor's closure, the library's Boundless app for ebooks will be replaced by The Palace Project soon, while Hoopla remains unaffected. Residents are invited to donate extra seeds for the library's growing seed exchange and contribute nonperishable food and hygiene items for the local food pantry—the collection runs through December 22nd. Santa visits the library on December 13th, complete with photo ops and activity kits for kids. David, the new library director, brings three decades of library experience—including a stint as a children's librarian—and even has a background in music, having played double bass professionally before joining the library world. David and his family are settling into the area, buying a house in Toulon, and are excited about the bigger yard for their two large dogs. He's looking forward to the region's Amtrak station for easy trips to Chicago and exploring local towns like the Quad Cities, Peoria, and Princeton. David hopes his innovative ideas from past roles will benefit the library community, even if he may have to start making homemade pizza.

Eight railroad depots still serve passengers in Wisconsin for Amtrak trains that travel across the southern half of the state. But once, there were a few hundred  rail stations here. While many of those buildings are gone, reporter Chuck Quirmbach tells “Wisconsin Life” others remain … with new uses.

Jared and Mike stare into the abyss as the Democrats squander all of the good vibes they inherited on election night over the shutdown negotiations. Later, they listen to Josh Hammer cry in constricting underwear on his Newsweek podcast about Washington Commanders fans booing down the Big Drumpf before introducing “Robby Latte,” an activist who goes around calling corporations, asking them to drop their DEI policies. Hammer and Robby Latte tackle the new question on the mind of MAGA: Is Woke Dead? The answer is complicated but the deeper truth is that Chuck Schumer killed it. He took the Amtrak down to D.C., fell asleep in his seat with a folded copy of Newsweek in his hands, and stabbed it in the heart. Listen to the full episode on Patreon

October was nonstop. I was in Hershey, Pittsburgh, and New York twice, and on every single trip, there was a transportation curveball. SEPTA canceled trains, Amtrak was late, ride shares were pricey or didn't show, and I even had to cross a four-lane road in Pittsburgh with no traffic light. I still made it to Dancing in the Dark, the PATTAN Tech Adventures event, the Blind Travel Foundation fundraiser, and Laugh for Sight, picking up ideas for our NFB of PA state convention along the way. I talk about why I lean toward Lyft, how arthritis makes travel trickier, and why sponsors need to jump in now. Plus, Ziggy got drenched in the rain and I still recorded from Studio B this week.

Host Malcolm Harris kicks off this midweek edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? with headlines shaking up the logistics and freight world. From Craig Fuller's fiery critique of the ATA's backpedal on the “driver shortage” narrative to breaking news of an Amtrak–truck collision in San Antonio, Malcolm dives deep into the week's hottest topics.

Next up is Simon Steadman from Supermove, who spotlights innovation in the moving industry with the upcoming F50 Leadership Summit—a forum bringing top executives together to discuss AI, automation, and digital transformation.

As Norfolk Southern Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, John Orr holds ultimate responsibility for every train on the Class I's vast network, freight and passenger. Relationships between passenger carriers and their host freight railroads aren't always harmonious, but NS has been working on improvements benefiting both. “For several months now, we've been a top performer among Class I's when it comes to host-responsible delay metrics—no small feat considering how much passenger service we host on our network,” Orr tells Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono. “A more fluid network benefits everyone who touches our system, from customers to passenger services like Amtrak to communities throughout our system that experience fewer slow or stopped trains. There is a direct line between all our operational improvements and improvements in passenger rail hosting performance. And during the past two years we've forged effective partnerships with local and state passenger groups, from Pennsylvania to Virginia to North Carolina.” Orr discusses why “a reliable, consistent team is necessary for reliable, consistent service,” initiatives for “building skills and capabilities of our railroaders” and “training generational railroaders.” He describes a “root cause analysis mentality” and the “war rooms” Operations has been utilizing. “Safety is the core of everything,” he stresses. “A safe railroad is an efficient railroad.”

 Day 20 of the Schumer Shutdown brings word from President Trump that the senator's pet $20 billion Amtrak to nowhere project in NYC is being canceled. Newly released documents from an FBI whistleblower bring more fodder that Adam Schiff didn't just help concoct the Russia collusion hoax against Trump, he used Eric Swalwell as a leaker. KJP is furious with the democrat party for one thing really - and she hopes you'll go buy her book.

The future of rail and buses to and from other cities and Detroit may be here. Detroit's new multi-modal transit hub plans to include Amtrak service, with an expanded Wolverine Line connecting to Windsor and Toronto; as well as consolidate both the Amtrak station in Detroit's New Center and the intercity bus terminal on Howard in Detroit. $40 million has been allocated for the project, and site evaluation and design work is beginning. Beth Kmetz from Michigan Central joins us for a segment of the Daily Detroit podcast, sharing all the details that are set so far from this important announcement from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at the Downtown Detroit Partnership Fall Forum. You'll also learn why the new station is going next to the historic and redeveloped Michigan Central vs. right into the old hub. Daily Detroit shares what to know and where to go in Metro in Detroit every day, and has every day for more than 1700 episodes.

Michigan Central, opened in Detroit in 1913 and designed by the same architects as New York's Grand Central Terminal, was a towering landmark and the tallest train station in the world at the time. It was a symbol of the city's industrial might and later, sadly, became a symbol of blight instead. Now, through the vision of Ford Motor Co. officials and others, it is a symbol again, this time of a great city's rebirth. This week, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined others in announcing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Michigan Department of Transportation, the City of Detroit and Michigan Central to begin preliminary assessments for a new multimodal transportation hub located within the 30-acre Michigan Central Innovation District, on a parcel just southwest of the station.This week's podcast features two participants in the MOU announcement: Arun Rao, Amtrak senior director for network development in their Central Region, and Sam Krassenstein, chief of infrastructure for the City of Detroit.
