Our card this week is Robert Mitchell Jr., the 8 of Clubs from New York. When the body of Robert Mitchell Jr., a “gentle giant” and towering presence in Rochester's bar scene, is discovered burning in a public park, detectives don't know what to think. As rumors swirl and leads dry up, the case grows cold… until a witness comes forward with details so specific, only someone close to the crime could know them. Now, nearly a decade later, investigators believe they know who killed Robert… But proving it in court is another story. If you know anything about the murder of Robert Mitchell Jr., please call Rochester Police Department's major crimes unit at 585-428-7157 or email them at MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300 or submit a tip online here.You can listen to The Leighton Avenue Killings mentioned in this episode here.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/robert-mitchell-jrLet us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers.

In December 1993, 25-year-old father of two Paul Logan was lured from his home in Consett, County Durham, by a mysterious late-night phone call. Hours later, his body was found in a frozen field on the outskirts of town - brutally beaten in what detectives described as a targeted and pre-planned attack.Despite hundreds of witnesses interviewed, countless leads, and several arrests, no one has ever been charged with Paul's murder. Rumours of underworld links, false accusations, and community silence have clouded the case for over thirty years, leaving Paul's family still searching for the truth.In this episode of British Murders, I revisit one of the North East's most haunting unsolved cases - a crime that shocked a tight-knit community and continues to baffle detectives decades later.If you have any information about the murder of Paul Logan, please contact Northumbria Police on 101, or reach out anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, exclusive episodes and content, exciting giveaways, and welcome goodies!

On September 23, 1998, 19-year-old Amber Wilde (will-de), a college student who was four and a half months pregnant, called her father after getting into a minor car accident near the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. Later that evening, she spoke to him one last time from her apartment landline, but the next day she never showed up for class or a doctor's appointment. A week later, her car was found abandoned near Lambeau Field, with her keys inside and her purse locked in the trunk. But Amber was nowhere to be found. More than twenty-seven years later, Amber's disappearance remains unsolved. Detectives believe she was murdered, but without her body, they've never been able to prove it. Her family is still searching, waiting for the answers that will finally bring Amber home. If you have any information in this case, please contact Crime Stoppers at 920-432-7867.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 11th Publish Date: October 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 11th and Happy Birthday to Steve Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films House Republicans consider more funding for public health Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films This fall, Fernbank Museum is serving up two epic adventures on its Giant Screen Theater—stories that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. First up, “Wild Rescue” (premiering today Oct. 11). It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, where bobcats, pelicans, and other injured animals get a second shot at life. Think animal ER, but with jaw-dropping cinematography and a whole lot of heart. Then there’s “Secrets of Great Salt Lake” (opening Nov. 8). Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, ancient floods—it’s a wild ride through time, showing how water shapes life, from the Rockies to the Great Salt Lake. Both films are included with general admission. Don’t miss it. STORY 2: House Republicans consider more funding for public health Georgia’s public health system is at a breaking point, lawmakers were told Tuesday. Federal funding is drying up—COVID-era dollars are gone, grants are shrinking, and the Congressional budget mess isn’t helping. State funding has increased over the years, but it’s not enough. Per-person spending has dropped from $97 in 2012 to just $74 today, said Leah Chan of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. Rural areas? They’re hit hardest—fewer resources, fewer workers, and the looming threat of hospital closures. Advocates made it clear: public health programs save money and lives. Vaccinations, lead abatement, substance abuse prevention—they all reduce preventable deaths and boost the economy. Lawmakers listened, but what’s next? No one’s saying yet. The committee has until Dec. 1 to make recommendations. STORY 3: Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth is throwing a big party, and everyone’s invited! To celebrate 40 years, they’re hosting a Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the back parking lot. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s packed with stuff for the whole family—think decorated trunks, games, face painting, a bounce house, raffle baskets, a fall photo booth, snacks, drinks, and, of course, candy. Lots of candy. They’re also asking guests to bring canned or nonperishable food to stock their Little Free Pantry, helping neighbors in need. Come for the fun, stay for the community vibes. 3700 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Man and woman killed in domestic shooting near Lawrenceville Gwinnett police are piecing together what happened Wednesday morning in a tragic domestic incident that left a man and woman dead in a home near Lawrenceville. Officers were called to the 600 block of Clearwater Place around 9:40 a.m. after someone reported a shooting. Inside a bedroom, they found the two victims—both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. A gun was recovered at the scene, but the Medical Examiner’s Office will confirm the exact cause of death. Detectives aren’t searching for suspects, but they’re interviewing witnesses and combing through evidence. The victims’ names haven’t been released yet, as police are notifying family. Anyone with information can call detectives at 770-513-5300 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Cash rewards are available for tips leading to an arrest. STORY 5: Grayson Football Heads into 15-Day Break with Dominant Win Grayson’s freshman quarterback, Deuce Smith, is making this whole “starter” thing look easy. Filling in after Travis Burgess’ season-ending injury, Smith threw *five* first-half touchdowns Thursday night, leading the Rams to a 58-10 demolition of Rockdale County. Grayson wasted no time. Josh Thomas ripped off a 62-yard run on the first play, and two snaps later, Smith hit Saif Bin-Wahad for a quick 7-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter? 34-7. Even the reserves got in on the action. Junior Tre Crum ran in a touchdown, and freshman Jojo Watts electrified the sideline with a 50-yard punt return score. Grayson, now riding a 22-game win streak, has 15 days to prep for South Gwinnett. Break 3: STORY 6: GCPS names 25 semifinalists for Teacher of the Year Gwinnett County Public Schools just announced the 25 semifinalists for the 2027 Teacher of the Year award, narrowing down an impressive field of 141 local winners. These educators—spanning elementary, middle, and high schools—are now in the running for the district’s top teaching honor. The big moment? January 29 at 6:30 p.m., when GCPS will host a banquet to celebrate all local school Teachers of the Year and crown the county’s best. This year’s semifinalists include standout teachers like Marquiesha Pless Morris (2nd grade, Baggett Elementary), Kelly Swanson (AP Psychology, Brookwood High), and Cindy Quinlan (Entrepreneurship, Phoenix High). The full list of semifinalists showcases the incredible talent shaping Gwinnett’s classrooms every day. STORY 7: Shiloh Grad Michael Nash Remembered Fondly in Gwinnett, Dunwoody It took Michael Nash a while to figure out where he belonged. Coaching and teaching weren’t on his radar at first. After graduating from Shiloh High in 1992, he tried college football, worked in his parents’ business, even moved out of state to build houses. But life has a funny way of steering you back. One day, his old friend Ed Shaddix, then principal at North Gwinnett High, called him up. “Are you ready yet?” Shaddix asked. And that was it. Nash, in his 30s, with a wife, two kids, and bills to pay, went back to school. He worked at North, coached under Bob Sphire, and earned his degree. It wasn’t easy, but it was the start of something bigger. Nash’s coaching journey took him from Shiloh to Dunwoody, where he spent 10 years rebuilding a struggling program. When he arrived, there were 17 players, no facilities, and barely $20,000 in the budget. But he got to work—weight training, nutrition programs, camps, fundraising. Slowly, the team grew to over 120 players, with a budget in the hundreds of thousands. It wasn’t just about football, though. Nash believed in loving his players, in making them better people. He coached lacrosse and baseball when the school needed him. He helped kids with problems at home. In February, Nash left Dunwoody to coach at Chattahoochee County, closer to family. Tragically, he passed away on October 3 after emergency surgery. He was 51. A memorial service will be held October 12 at Dunwoody Baptist Church. To support his family, visit the GoFundMe page in his honor.

On the night of October 12, 1983, 17-year-old Donna Jean Awcock was babysitting for a neighbour in London, Ontario. When her shift ended, she set out for a short walk — but she never made it home.The next morning, October 13, Donna's body was found near the Thames River by the Fanshawe Dam. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. For forty years, her case has remained unsolved.In this episode, we explore Donna's life, the night she disappeared, and the investigation that followed. We also place her case within the pattern of unsolved murders that haunted London, Ontario, during the 1970s and 80s — a city some criminologists later called the “serial killer capital of Canada.”If you have any information about the murder of Donna Jean Awcock, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police or Crime Stoppers.--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Hosted on Acast.

Top Stories for September 30th Publish Date: September 30th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 30th and Happy Birthday to Fran Drescher I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett “As long as I can.” That’s how long Sharon Bryant, a retiree still working part-time, plans to stay in her new apartment at Sage 5430. The complex, which just opened near Beaver Ruin Road and Buford Highway, is a rare find: affordable, spacious, and brand new. Sage 5430 is the result of a four-year public-private effort to address Gwinnett’s growing need for affordable housing. The 70-unit complex serves seniors, homeless youth, and those aging out of foster care, with rents ranging from $1,062 to $1,655—well below market rates. Residents making 50–70% of the area’s median income can also qualify for subsidies. The need is urgent. Gwinnett’s population of seniors has exploded by 55% in the last decade, and more than half of senior renters are considered “cost-burdened,” spending over 30% of their income on housing. But getting here wasn’t easy. John Maddox, VP of development at Blue Ridge Atlantic, described the process as “playing Whack-a-Mole.” Construction costs spiked, interest rates climbed, and funding gaps kept appearing. Eventually, with help from Gwinnett County, the Norcross Housing Authority, and Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs, the project came together. And for Gwinnett, it’s a step forward in tackling a housing crisis that’s pricing out even middle-income families. STORY 2: Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth is gearing up for two big fall events, and train lovers of all ages are invited to join the fun. First up: “Train, Trunk or Treat” on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at 10 a.m. It’s not just trick-or-treating anymore—it’s a full-on fall festival with a classic car show, train rides, a costume contest, live music, and even a scavenger hunt. Families and car owners are encouraged to dress up, and local businesses will be handing out candy from decorated trunks. Then, from Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, the museum’s annual Festival of Trees returns. Santa himself will arrive by train on Nov. 15, with more holiday magic possibly planned for December. The museum, located at 3595 Buford Highway, is also looking for local businesses to sponsor trees or host tables at these events. Interested? Visit train-museum.com or email info@train-museum.com. STORY 3: Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill Parkland Residential just opened its newest build-to-rent community, Park Ridge, in Sugar Hill—and leasing is officially underway.

Here’s what happened: On Sept. 5, Sherlock met with someone to buy a car. He handed over a check—but it turned out to be fake.

If you know anything, call detectives at 770-513-5300. Want to stay anonymous? Contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. Cash rewards are available. STORY 5: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Elisha Winn Fair set for Oct. 4-5 The Elisha Winn Fair is back Oct. 4-5, celebrating one of Gwinnett County’s founders and the home where it all began. Elisha Winn built his house in 1811—seven years before Gwinnett even existed. By 1818, it became the county’s first courthouse, hosting elections, court sessions, and government meetings. Winn himself was sworn in as a judge right in his own parlor. Imagine that. But life wasn’t all smooth. Winn lost the home in a messy legal battle over land rights and spent his later years fighting for it. The house changed hands until the Gwinnett Historical Society restored it in 1978. Now, the fair—46 years strong—celebrates this history with the community. Don’t miss it! STORY 6: Police: Daughter charged in murder of 62-year-old woman A 33-year-old woman has been charged with murder after police say she fatally stabbed her 62-year-old mother at their home near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Brittany Morris is accused of killing her mother, Janet Morris, on Thursday afternoon. Officers were called to their home on Deshong Drive around 4:30 p.m. and found Janet’s body—she’d died from apparent stab wounds. Police haven’t said what led to the attack, but Brittany was arrested later that day in another part of Gwinnett. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously. STORY 7: BRACK: Lawrenceville's Loving Aid Society working to help in the future A Lawrenceville institution with roots stretching back to 1888 is closing its doors, but its legacy? That’s not going anywhere. The Loving Aid Society, founded by Laura Freeman Gholston and Bob Craig, was created to support Gwinnett’s Black community during a time when money was scarce for everyone. Members paid small monthly dues—just ten cents back then—to cover funeral costs and help the sick. Over the years, it became a cornerstone of self-reliance, hosting annual “Turn Out” gatherings filled with songs, prayers, and shared recipes. Their two-story building on Neal Boulevard once housed a funeral home, a church, and even a daycare. But now, with only three members left—Ruth Summerour, 90, and Glenda and Moses Abney, 74 and 78—the Society has sold its property to the City of Lawrenceville for $497,000. The remaining members are determined to use those funds to keep helping others, ensuring the spirit of the Loving Aid Society lives on. We’ll have closing comments after this.

In the northern Alberta town of Slave Lake, the nights in late December are long and unforgiving. On December 28, 2019, 27-year-old Joel Judd was staying with a relative in town. By the end of that evening, he had set out for a night out. By the next morning, he was gone, and no one ever saw or heard from Joel again.That night in Slave Lake, Joel went to a local bar where he spent time with other patrons. As the night wore on, Joel left with a few of them. On their way to one person's home, they stopped at a local inn to purchase alcohol. Joel phoned his uncle and told him he was with a friend. Eventually, the group arrived at the home, where the party continued late into the night. At some point in the early morning hours, according to those present, Joel got up and walked out. No one saw where he went, and he never came back.When Joel failed to return to his uncle's, his family grew concerned and later reported him missing. Investigators traced his steps, using banking records to confirm who he had been with that night, which led them to a house on Whitetail Way, a few miles west of Slave Lake's city limits. Despite extensive searches of the property and the surrounding area, no sign of Joel has ever been found.Nearly six years later, his family is still searching for answers. Why did Joel leave that home in the middle of the night? Did something happen after he stepped outside? Is it even true that he walked out on his own? Or did something occur at that house party that has never been revealed? If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Joel Judd, please contact Slave Lake RCMP at 780-849-3045 and reference case#202015563. You may also contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at https://www.canadiancrimestoppers.org/submit-a-tip/submit-a-tip.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 27th Publish Date: September 27th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, September 27th and Happy Birthday to Meatloaf I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. It's Back — Magical Nights of Lights returns to Lanier Islands Magazine still rates Georgia No. 1 for business Three of Georgia’s top higher education institutions retain high rankings All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: It's Back — Magical Nights of Lights returns to Lanier Islands After a five-year break, one of Georgia’s most cherished holiday traditions is finally back. Lanier Islands Resort announced Thursday that Magical Nights of Lights will return for the 2025 holiday season, promising a reimagined experience that’s bigger, brighter, and, well, just plain magical. From Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, 2026, the lakeside resort will transform into a glowing wonderland. Picture this: miles of twinkling lights, animated displays, and Christmas carols playing through your car radio. Classic favorites like Candy Cane Lane and the 12 Days of Christmas are back, but there’s new fun too—Pickleball Elves, anyone? The tour ends with two festive stops: Holiday Headquarters (think mulled wine, s’mores, and axe throwing) and License to Chill Snow Island, complete with snow tubing and ice skating. Tickets start at $25 per car, and overnight guests get a free light tour. STORY 2: Magazine still rates Georgia No. 1 for business For the 12th year running, Georgia has snagged the top spot on Area Development Magazine’s list of best states for doing business. A dozen years—pretty impressive, right? The magazine pointed to affordable housing, reliable child care, and solid transportation as key reasons for the streak. Southern states dominated the rankings, with Georgia leading the pack, followed by South Carolina, Texas, and North Carolina. Gov. Brian Kemp credited the win to teamwork between state leaders and local communities, while the Georgia Chamber of Commerce called the state the “economic envy of the nation.” But the game is changing. Tax breaks and cheap land aren’t enough anymore. Companies are eyeing climate risks, water access, and long-term resilience. Georgia, the magazine noted, is already ahead in those areas. It’s not just about business—it’s about building a place where people want to live, work, and stay. STORY 3: Three of Georgia’s top higher education institutions retain high rankings Georgia’s top universities are holding their own in the 2026 U.S. News rankings, with all three—Georgia Tech, UGA, and Emory—landing in the top 100. Tech climbed to 32nd, tied with NYU and two California public schools. UGA stayed steady at 46th, sharing the spot with four others. Emory? Sitting pretty at 24th, right alongside Georgetown. The rankings factor in everything from graduation rates to faculty pay to post-grad earnings. And in specific fields? Georgia schools shine. Emory’s nursing program is second only to Duke. Tech’s environmental and industrial programs are No. 1, and UGA’s insurance program? Best in the nation. For in-state students, Tech and UGA are a steal at just over $10,000 a year. Out-of-state? Triple that. Emory, though, comes with a hefty $70,000 price tag. Worth it? Depends who you ask. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Police: Woman stabbed to death at home near Stone Mountain Gwinnett County police are investigating after a woman was fatally stabbed Thursday in what appears to be a domestic violence case. Officers responded to a call around 4:30 p.m. about a person down at a home on Deshong Drive, near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Inside, they found a woman who had died from stab wounds. A female relative was detained elsewhere in Gwinnett, and detectives are questioning her. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet, pending notification of her family. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a possible cash reward. STORY 5: Housing Matters: Conversion of extended-stay hotel to affordable housing to begin soon A vacant Extended Stay America off Jimmy Carter Boulevard is getting a second life. Starting in December, it’ll be transformed into affordable housing for seniors, homeless youth, and young adults aging out of foster care. Gwinnett County and the Gwinnett Housing Corporation bought the property in February for $14.5 million, using funds from the Affordable Housing Development Fund and the American Rescue Plan. Units will be for single or double occupancy, with rents about $500 below market. Leasing starts in 2026. Break 3: STORY 6: Duluth Fall Festival returns this weekend The 42nd Duluth Fall Festival is back this weekend, and it’s pulling out all the stops—over 180 arts and crafts vendors, 40+ food booths, and nearly two dozen performers spread across two stages. It’s a lot. Festivities kick off Saturday at 10 a.m. with the parade, which some say is the biggest in Gwinnett. After that? The opening ceremony at the Festival Center Amphitheater, followed by nonstop entertainment on the Festival Center and Parsons Alley stages. Sunday starts early with the Donut Dash 5K at 8 a.m. and a church service at 10 a.m. Parking? It’s tight. Use the free shuttles from local schools. And leave the pets at home—it’s hot, crowded, and not ideal for furry friends. Proceeds go straight back into the community, funding everything from downtown beautification to nonprofits like Rainbow Village and Spectrum Autism Center. Details at duluthfallfestival.org. STORY 7: FAFSA application now open for current and future GGC students For Georgia Gwinnett College students, the road to scholarships, grants, and financial aid starts now—FAFSA for the 2026–2027 school year is officially open. FAFSA isn’t just a form; it’s the key to federal grants, work-study gigs, and loans. Plus, state and school aid programs use it to figure out who qualifies for what. The earlier you file, the better your chances of snagging the most aid. Need help? The Grizzly Welcome Center (Building D) is open weekdays to guide students through the process. Pro tip: File ASAP. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 5 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Our card this week is Jaklyn Baccoli, the 5 of Clubs from New York.When demolition workers entered a vacant home in Rochester, New York, they expected asbestos—not a crime scene.

As detectives dug into her life and the days leading up to her death, they uncovered a tangled web of addiction, survival, and street rumors—and a potential suspect with a story full of holes.

In northern Alberta, long roads cut through forest and farmland, connecting small, close-knit communities. It was along these highways in the summer of 2016 that 43-year-old Conrad Jason Ducharme, known to family and friends simply as Jason, was last seen.Jason was believed to be traveling on foot to Dixonville for a tent meeting. He made it there and was later spotted in Manning. But after that, his trail went cold. Known for walking long distances and sometimes catching rides, Jason often stayed with friends or relatives scattered along his route. At first, his family assumed he was with someone else. Only later did they realize no one had seen him, and by then, his trail was already fading.What alarmed them most was that Jason missed his son's birthday at the end of July, something completely out of character. Nearly a decade later, no trace of Jason has ever been found. His family continues to hold onto hope that answers may still come, and that by sharing Jason's story, someone who remembers something might step forward.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Conrad Jason Ducharme, please contact the Manning RCMP at 780-836-3769 and reference case#: 2016-1416531. Or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at canadiancrimestoppers.org.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode was originally published on June 19th, 2022.Australia in the mid twentieth century has a dark history of forced adoption. Women who did not fit the moral expectations of the time (usually those who were young and unmarried) had their children taken from them at birth, often with little to no information left behind for them to be reunited.Our guest today, Lily Arthur, is one story of many, and it is an absolutely heartbreaking one.

On August 9, 1975, 20-year-old Jane Smith vanished from her Sudbury apartment without a trace. Fifty years later, her family is still living with the pain of not knowing what happened. In this episode, I speak with two people at the center of this decades-old mystery: Jane's younger brother, John Smith, and his daughter, Katie. John shares what it was like to lose his sister and how her disappearance has shaped his family's lives over the past half-century. Katie, who never met her aunt, has taken on a different role... part investigator, part advocate... working to keep Jane's story alive and urging anyone who knows the truth to come forward before it's too late.

In 1981, Kelly took a job to babysit for Bill Christensen. The 15-year-old was never seen alive again. What most people don't know is that Kelly was not the killer's first choice. She was the “backup babysitter.” Christensen's first choice was a 17-year-old girl, but she already had plans so she turned him down. Christensen then asked about other babysitters in the area. The original target, who we'll refer to as Stacey, had never spoken to a journalist about what happened until she joined Global News senior crime reporter Nancy Hixt to share how the case impacted every aspect of her life in this rereleased episode. Police are still waiting for the tip they need to solve it. If you know anything that can help police as they investigate Kelly's homicide, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

A Serial Killer in the Suburbs of Paris The first victim was spotted by a passerby on August 13, 2025, as officials fished the body out of the Seine in a suburb of Paris near a known gay cruising spot. Divers searching the area found another body, then another, then another. As investigators search for answers and other possible victims, speculation swirls about the motive for the murders. The Murder of Ryan Godbey: A Family Seeks Justice Ryan Godbey, a beloved member of Canton's LGBTQ+ community, whose a disappearance and murder shocked the Canton, Ohio area in 2025.

The Brutal Murder of Jacob Zieben-Hood? On August 1, 2025, 34-year-old Jacob Zieben-Hood was found stabbed to death in the Harlem apartment he shared with his husband, Donald Zieben-Hood. Behind their social media image of happiness was a history of domestic violence, protective orders, and escalating threats. From alleged strangulation in February to a knife threat in June, the abuse intensified. On July 31, Jacob called his father during another violent altercation. Hours later, he was dead. Donald was found with self-inflicted wounds and arrested for violating a protective order. Christopher Hunnisett: Vicar's Murderer Freed to Kill Again When the dismembered body of a Reverend Glazebrook was found, his lodger, Christopher Hunnisett, was arrested and put on trial, and found guilty. Acquitted of the vicar's murder, Hunnisett went on a crusade to kill as many "pedos" as he could. Studying investigative techniques, Hunnisett followed a tip to 57-year-old Peter Bick, whom he assumed was an abuser. Pretending to be a date, Hunnisett went to Bick's flat and murdered him. The details of this case are unusual, but in some ways they align with what I've been exploring in the next episode, which is the origins and legacy of the provocation defense. A State of Emergency.

Our card this week is Andrew Moore, the 6 of Clubs from California. This week marks the 25th anniversary of Andrew “Andy” Moore's murder.26-year-old Andy was killed in September 2000 while sleeping in his San Diego, California, apartment. The scene left behind was confounding to detectives; the weapons are missing, odd items displaced but not taken, and the one thing "stolen" from Andy shows up not too far away from the crime scene a month later. So what was the motive? Who would want to kill this fun-loving young man? And did a hidden passage in his apartment building allow his murderer to escape unnoticed?Although his cold case has remained a mystery almost as long as Andy had been alive, a new detective believes they could be close to a break, thanks to new technology. Listen to the first-ever in-depth coverage of Andy Moore's case only on The Deck! If you have any information about the murder of Andrew “Andy” Moore in San Diego, California, in September 2000, please contact the San Diego Police Homicide unit at 619-531-2293; or you can call Detective Tracey Barr's desk phone at 619-430-0134.

November 21, 1997. Powhattan, Kansas. 28-year old Jodie Bordeaux, who happens to be seven months pregnant, is spending the evening with her husband at their rural farmhouse when several bullets from a semi-automatic rifle are fired into the residence. A bullet strikes Jodie in the head and kills her instantly and her unborn baby daughter, Jordan Shay, also dies. There is speculation that Jodie's murder might be connected to a conflict from her managerial job at a casino on the Kickapoo Reservation, as a troublesome employee had been fired there under her watch. However, even though investigators have at least three potential suspects in mind, there is not enough to implicate anyone in the crime, so it remains unsolved. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the unsolved homicide of a pregnant woman. In addition, we will be briefly discussing the unsolved murder of 21-year old Amanda Aldridge, who was also shot to death inside her home in Calhoun, Louisiana in April 2020. If you have information on the murder of Jodie Bordeaux, please contact the Brown County Sheriff's Office at (785) 742-7125 or the Kansas City Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-572-7463. If you have information on the murder of Amanda Aldridge, please contact the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office at (318) 324-2669 or Crime Stoppers at North Delta at (318) 388-CASH (2274).

On July 3, 2020, 38-year-old Jami Lucas was riding his motorcycle near Outing, Minnesota. According to official reports, a deputy recognized Jami and knew he didn't have a valid license, which sparked a pursuit. However, Jami's family was told something different: that an anonymous call had come in, leading deputies to pursue Jami. Either way, several deputies began chasing Jami, who turned off onto a dirt road.Police records state that the pursuit ended when Jami ditched his motorcycle and ran into the woods. A deputy drew his weapon and ordered him to stop, but Jami kept going, vanishing into the dense underbrush. From that moment forward, no one ever saw Jami Lucas again.More than five years have passed since that night, and Jami's family believes far too little has been done to find him. They also question why a high-speed chase was initiated at all, especially over something as minor as a suspended license. Nationwide, pursuits like these have drawn heavy criticism for being unnecessarily dangerous, frequently ending in crashes that cause injuries and even deaths, not only to suspects but also officers and innocent bystanders.For Jami's loved ones, the circumstances of that night remain unsettling. They can't shake the uneasy feeling that the very agency tasked with finding him was also the last to see him alive. They've been left not only with their grief but also a growing list of contradictions, conflicts of interest, and unexplained gaps in the record.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jami Lucas, please contact the Cass County Sheriff's Office at 218-547-1424, Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477, or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 651‑793‑7000.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Our card this week is Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez, the Wild Card from Texas.Maria “Mary Faye” Mendez walked out of the duplex she shared with her family in Odessa, Texas, on Aug. 2, 1985, and seemingly vanished without a trace. Her sister-in-law watched Mary head in the direction of a local bar after fighting with her husband, who they knew as Arnuldo Mendez. Mary had asked her sister-in-law to watch her 5-year-old daughter, Virginia, while she went out, but she never came home. For nearly 40 years, her family wondered whether she'd walked away from her life and children…or if something bad had happened to her. It wasn't until a young cold case detective stumbled across her long-lost case file and started digging that clues in a decades-old mystery started to be unearthed. If you know anything about the death of Mary Mendez, contact Det. Gonzales at 432-335-4926, or to submit a tip anonymously through Odessa Crime Stoppers, call 432-333-8477 or visit 333tips.org and reference case number 84-7988.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/maria-mary-faye-mendez Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers.
