The Hindenburg disaster left more than just a scar on history—it's said the spirits of that fiery tragedy still linger, trapped in the echoes of that fateful day.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: In the Oakland Cemetery, a bronze monument to tragedy is said to bring death to anyone who touches it. (Black Angel of Death) *** While camping, a man has dreams of a dark-haired woman several nights in a row. Normally it wouldn't be anything to be all that concerned about, but it's something to fear if you are near the French Broad river. (Siren of the French Broad) *** Alien visitors, beings from a different dimension, our planet even had tree monsters and sentient pyramids showing up – and all in the year 1965. (The Inter-Dimensional Interlopers of 1965) *** A retired naval officer reports rocks falling through his home's roof – dozens in a single day – with no explanation of where they came from. (Cappy Ricks and the Stones) *** In 1994 a man has a paranormal experience with a popular song recorded two decades earlier. (The Joker) *** Is there a clandestine space program designed to save the elite from a global catastrophe? (Alternative 3) *** On this date, October 24, 1953, Evelyn Hartley, a 15-year-old sophomore from La Crosse, Wisconsin, vanished without a trace while on her way to a babysitting job. It was like something out of a Halloween urban legend but in this case, the horror was real. (The Babysitter Who Vanished) *** The odd happening that takes place here and there in a house more than likely can be explained in some rational way. Even quite a few strange occurrences could probably be explained by science. But when the events seem to never stop, perhaps it's time to think something else is going on. (An Assortment of Experiences) *** Legend tells a centuries-old curse was placed upon Dudleytown in Connecticut. The town turned into a horrible place where people committed suicide or went insane. (Cursed Dudleytown) *** Exactly 92 years ago today – October 24, 1926 - something went wrong during a performance by Harry Houdini. A week later, he would be dead. (Houdini's Final Performance) *** The Hamilton-Byrne family was anything but typical, rather it was a doomsday cult with a leader who believed herself to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

14-vuotias Evelyn Hartley katosi ollessaan lapsenvahtikeikalla tuttavaperheen luona vuonna 1953. Katoamispaikalle jääneistä jäljistä päätellen Evelyn siepattiin, mutta poliisi ei ole saanut tekijöitä kiinni lupaavistakaan vihjeistä huolimatta. Evelynin katoaminen on edelleen Wisconsinin osavaltion suurimpia rikosmysteerejä, vaikka katoamisesta tulee vuonna 2023 kuluneeksi jo 70 vuotta. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin alkuvaiheilta.

October 24, 1953. La Crosse, Wisconsin. The father of 15-year old Evelyn Hartley attempts to phone her while she is babysitting an infant child, but there is no answer at the house. After travelling there to check on her, he discovers that Evelyn has disappeared and the evidence suggests she was the victim of a violent abduction by an intruder. Days later, pieces of blood-stained clothing are found outside of town which are believed to belong to Evelyn and her abductor.

True Crime All The Time Unsolved

Evelyn Hartley disappeared while babysitting for a family in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Her father became concerned when she didn't answer his calls, so he drove to the house and found Evelyn's shoes, broken glasses, and pools of blood, but not his daughter. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Evelyn Hartley. Seven decades later, Evelyn has never been found, and her case remains unsolved. In the 2000s, new evidence came to light that implicated several men. Unfortunately, because so many years had passed, the authorities were unable to talk to most of them. It remains to be seen if any DNA evidence can link them to Evelyn's disappearance.

In October of 1953, a 15-year-old girl went missing while babysitting in her Wisconsin neighborhood. A cursory search of the home revealed blood, making it obvious that she had been met with foul play. And it didn't take long for her to be linked to one of the country's most prolific serial killers. But was he actually involved, or was it another local? This is the story of Evelyn Hartley.

The night of October 24, 1953, was a busy one in La Crosse, Wisconsin as La Crosse State College was celebrating homecoming weekend. Fifteen-year-old Evelyn Hartley had accepted a babysitting job for a local college professor and had just settled down to do some school work when the Rasmussen family had left her in the care of their 20-month-old daughter. But, when Evelyn didn't call her parents at 8:30 to check in with them as she had promised to do, her father grew concerned. Even more alarming was when he arrived at the Rasmussen home to find signs of an apparent break-in yet no sign of his daughter.BLENDJET2: Go to blendjet.com and use code coffeeandcases12 to save 12% off your order OR use my special link and the discount will be applied at checkout: zen.ai/coffeeandcases12ZENCASTR: Use my special link zen.ai/coffeeandcases and use code coffeeandcases to save 30% off your first three months of Zencastr professional. #madeonzencastrPAPERLIKE: From now until the end of January, get a free digital pro planner bundle AND free shipping.

(The Inter-Dimensional Interlopers of 1965) *** A retired naval officer reports rocks falling through his home's roof – dozens in a single day – with no explanation of where they came from. (Cappy Ricks and the Stones) *** In 1994 a man has a paranormal experience with a popular song recorded two decades earlier. (The Joker) *** Is there a clandestine space program designed to save the elite from a global catastrophe? (Alternative 3) *** On this date, October 24, 1953, Evelyn Hartley, a 15-year-old sophomore from La Crosse, Wisconsin, vanished without a trace while on her way to a babysitting job. It was like something out of a Halloween urban legend but in this case, the horror was real. (The Babysitter Who Vanished) *** The odd happening that takes place here and there in a house more than likely can be explained in some rational way. Even quite a few strange occurrences could probably be explained by science. But when the events seem to never stop, perhaps it's time to think something else is going on. (An Assortment of Experiences) *** Legend tells a centuries-old curse was placed upon Dudleytown in Connecticut. The town turned into a horrible place where people committed suicide or went insane. (Cursed Dudleytown) *** Exactly 92 years ago today – October 24, 1926 - something went wrong during a performance by Harry Houdini. A week later, he would be dead. (Houdini's Final Performance) *** The Hamilton-Byrne family was anything but typical, rather it was a doomsday cult with a leader who believed herself to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

She is an American missing young girl, who cryptically vanished on October 24, 1953. Her vanishing started an inquiry including 2,000 people. In the year following her vanishing, the authorities and investigators addressed in excess of 3,500 individuals, and to this day, no hint of her has been found. Evelyn Hartley was a junior at Central High School at the time of her evident kidnapping. She was a straight-A student, associated with many school sports and exercises. Evie was an Officer at the Presbyterian Youth Program and Westminster Fellowship at her local Church and sang in the Choir. Her Pastor described her as “Quiet, Dependable and Devoted”.

I'll come back and fix it! Welcome to the most belated episode of the Spooky Sconnie podcast thus far. This is the podcast that seeks to dive into everything from Wisconsin, from the true crime and paranormal stuff to cryptids and just wonderfully weird Wisconsin history. And I'm your host, Kirsten Schultz. ----more---- It's been a minute, a couple minutes, several weeks. Um, I owe y'all an explanation. If you don't already follow the social media channels for the podcast, then you probably haven't heard because I'm shit at posting on the Pod Bean, a app on its own, like updates. Um, but I am in the middle of getting a divorce and it's not necessarily a hundred percent amicable on my side, but it's kind of a surprise divorce for me at least. So it's been a rough couple of weeks and I needed to take some space, stepped back from a couple of things to take care of myself and, um, you know, dive in with all of my energy to finding a new place, which I have found one. Um, I signed the lease today and I move in, um, in about two weeks, a little less. Um, and my goal is hopefully by the beginning of August to be fully moved into that new place and, um, hopefully be putting out some more regular episodes, between now and then. It might be a little funky. Yeah. Not sure schedule wise, what's going to work. so far I've gotten basically almost everything that I own in our apartment up into our loft space, which was like my office anyway. Um, and I'm sleeping on a Futon, which is not great for my chronic illnesses and my back and so many things. Um, but you know, have to do what we can do till we can do better I guess. Um, yeah, so like I said, episodes will probably be infrequent until, mm, Probably middle of August or something like that. Um, so this will be the kind of the last episode for a couple of weeks again, but, uh, I'm hoping to kind of like plunge into late summer slash fall, um, deeply and really be able to have more time set aside to doing research too. Um, you know, finding new things to talk about and um, being a lot more present for all of you. So I appreciate you guys sticking in there with me and hanging in there. Um, and you know, things will get better and it'll be good. It'll be fine. I'm, I'm going to be fine. Um, I'm just going to keep repeating that until it's the thing. So, um, part of why I'm releasing this episode on a day different than what I normally would do, um, is because the Saturday is the true crime podcast festival in Chicago, um, at the Marriott downtown on magnificent mile. So please make sure you come. I will be there. I have goodies to give away and to sell, um, including buttons and bottle openers or jars. Oh gold. I keep using mine. It's amazing. It's also magnetic, which I discovered by accident, but like in a good way. Um, I also have a piece of original art that I may be giving away. We'll see. Um, so if you come, make sure that you find me, cause I would love to say hi to you. And, um, if you are coming again, make sure you try to follow the social media pages because I will be posting what I'm wearing that morning and other stuff so that y'all can come find me so we can talk and it'll be great. It'll be great just to spooky. Scani girl in a Chicago world there should be a Hashtag, right? If you still haven't gotten your ticket, you can go to t c p F as in true crime podcast festival TCP f 20 nineteen.com, and you'll be able to snag tickets and see who else is coming. Um, and also check out the schedule, which they're releasing more and more information about, which is great. Um, there's also a shop you can buy like other cool things from them, so make sure you check that out. And what else? What else, what else? Yeah, I think that that's the big stuff. Um, so let's dive in to today's episode. Okay. We are talking about Georgia Jean Wexler and her disappearance. Georgia Jean was an eight year old in 1947. She got a ride home from school with a friend's mom and got dropped off on the opposite side of the road, um, from her home next to her mailbox. She had grabbed the mail, uh, walked across the highway because of course this is Wisconsin, you must cross a highway to get to your house. Um, and, and I was the last time that anybody saw her, which is terrifying, especially considering the fact that again, she's eight years old. Um, and this is in Fort Atkinson, which is, um, it's kind of between Milwaukee and Madison, but slightly to the north. It sits in Jefferson County and as along the Rock River, um, near Lake Koshkonong. So if you know where any of those places are, you kinda know where that is. Um, four is kind of a small town. Um, it's, is kidding bigger now, but it's still, it's still pretty small. Towny um, as you know, compared to places like Green Bay eve and, um, not at, not even just Madison and Milwaukee, but Green Bay. So that's fort to shame. Not that Green Bay is my favorite place, but okay. There has been a couple of news stories about George's disappearance in the last couple of years. Um, but first I want to, you know, kind of go through what happened. So she's been missing sense again. May 1st, 1947 from Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, they classified this as a nonfamily abduction. Her date of birth is January 28th, 1939. I'm at time of disappearance. She was four foot three inches tall and weighed somewhere between 65 and 75 pounds. She was wearing a light blue tee shirt with a pink button sweater over it, a blue skirt with a red moon or flower pattern, blue jeans under that skirt, rubber boots or Brown moccasin type shoes with reddish colored composition souls and a brown flowered headscarf. Um, she's very white, very blonde and had, um, Brown eyes and apparently had a growth on one heel, which I can not figure out any more information about that. So the neighbor who dropped her off was a friend's mom and again, dropped her off kind of at the beginning of the driveway by the, um, mailbox. Okay. The, um, Georgia told the neighbor that she might go into the woods and pick some flowers for a May Day basket before going inside her home. She and her, um, siblings, I believe she had two brothers and a sister usually rode their bicycles, but it had rained so it was really muddy and their dad drove them to school that morning. She got out half an hour earlier than, um, her siblings. And so that's why she got a ride home from this neighbor after Georgia started walking up the driveway slash crossing the highway. There seems to be a, some disputes depending on where you're looking. Um, she never made it fully up that way. Like never arrived at the house. Nobody saw her inside the house or at the house itself. Again, it's a long driveway though. So [inaudible] the meal she was carrying wasn't found. And I think that's an important piece, um, because it shows that she clearly didn't get inside, um, at least not in a space where she could actually put down that meal. George's mom wasn't really concerned right away when Georgia didn't get home. She kind of assumed that Georgia's dad had picked her up and they didn't start searching until about 6:00 PM when the dad got home without Georgia witnesses had reported seeing a dark colored possibly black sedan. Um, a 1936 or 37 Ford with a gray plastic spotlight in the vicinity that afternoon. The car vanished around the same time Georgia did. And deep tire tracks were later found in the road as if a vehicle had pulled out fast. Um, the person driving that was described to be blonde male and somewhere between 20 to 25 years old, this person is the prime suspect in George's abduction. He was never identified, um, despite the fact that they actually questioned a ton of people over the years. This wasn't necessarily one of those cold cases that they just sit on forever. There was actually a lot of work, um, going on behind the scenes consistently on this case. Yeah, several witnesses reported seeing a young girl struggling and pleading with a man inside a similar vehicle in Fort Atkinson shortly after Georgia vanished. Um, you know, there's no definitive answer on whether or not that was Georgia, but people assumed. So they believed, um, at the beginning that she might have been kidnapped for ransom. Her father was a public official and they weren't poor. Um, but after several days with no attempt to, you know, stay at ransom demands, the family and local authorities were like, Huh, I guess that's not what's going on. So they quickly moved to, assuming she had been taken by a sexual Predator and that continues to be the main theory in this case, she was actually terrified of being kidnapped and we'll, we'll get into that later. But I think it's such an interesting thing to consider, um, that that was the case. There is a detective currently, or at least as of 2017 I'm with the Jefferson County sheriff's office named detective Leah Meyer, and she's the one that's handling the cold case or at this point, um, she shared a lot in some news articles. So I'll link to some of those. Um, and kind of the big takeaway from interviews that she's done around this case is that she knows that it's going to be probably impossible to solve this case at this point. It's so old. Um, so many people have died that were involved with the case and it, there's just a lot of obstacles to getting this solved. It's 70 something years old here. The offender, um, detective Myra believes that the offender didn't preplan this, this was not a premeditated kidnapping, but just saw Georgia after she'd gotten dropped off and decided to take her. So not unlike, um, the case of Jamie Kloss, like we discussed in some of those Minnesota earlier this year, which I have to do an update on that shit because yeah, that has gone to hell in a hand basket. I mean, he's still guilty and he's still been sentenced and all of that, but he tried to pull some shit. Like it was not a big deal. I don't know. Anyway, that is not this episode. Um, detective Myra believes that the prime suspect that it's known as opposed to this random blonde man as a person named Buford Senate. He was paroled after a conviction in the 1940s related to sexual violence. Um, he actually had confessed to George's murder. Um, he claimed that he and a companion that he refused to name had kidnapped her for ransom and given her some sleeping pills to keep her quiet in the meantime, but that she had accidentally overdosed and died, which just want to change that sentence a little bit cause I don't like how it's written in this piece. Um, it's not that she accidentally overdosed, it's that they gave her too many pills. Like you shouldn't be giving anybody that's that young sleeping pills. You shouldn't be kidnapping a young girl. Like the onus is on you guys. Um, she didn't accidentally overdose. Anyway, Senate in this confession shared details about the case that we're not ever released to the media and the physical description of the suspect, that blonde dude between 20 to 25 matches, sentence description and witness accounts of that dark car scene in the area match kind of what he drove. So it really fits in very well. Senate said that after discovering that, um, he had killed Georgia on accident, that he tossed her remains into the blue river, which is near the town of Blue River, surprise, a search of the river turned up no sign of Georgia. Um, and in 2017 they actually found um, senates hideout and um, she shared that they had like gone in and tried to see if there are any ashes or remains or anything like that. Um, and she says it's nothing more than a giant Fox hole. I think it would be important to search the, that vicinity, finding any new leads or possibly discovering her remains. Um, you know, they found some ashes and did testing, but that it didn't, uh, come back as related to George's body whatsoever. Son, it was never charged in connection with George's case. Police still don't actually know whether he was involved because he turned around and recanted his confession. Um, and up until he died, maintained that he had nothing to with George's case. Senate was paroled in 1974 and then arrested again for the sexual assault of two young girls in 1987 he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for those assaults. The sentence ran consecutively to the remainder of his 1947 rape slash murder sentence because you know, being rearrested and sexually assaulting other young girls is a violation of your parole. He died in prison here in Wisconsin in 2008. And Detective Meyer doesn't really believe his description of the events. Um, she's gone on record as saying it feels more like a mix of truth and fiction than pure truth. Um hmm. Just the different things that he's shared, but she's also gone on record to say, um, to describe him as extremely violent, sexually based offender that I think would fit the emo for crime. Like Georgia. Jean's son Senate was not the only person to confess to George's kidnapping a murder. A number of other individuals, including a convicted murderer from Nebraska have confessed over the years. Nothing could be proven against any of them and just about everybody recanted. So let's dive into these other potentials aspects. The first is that convicted murderer from Nebraska steam is Charles McClelland. He was 25, um, in this article I found from 1954 in which he was discussed, um, and won't read this all in like 1930s voice cause that's a lot of 1930s voice. But, um, he was found innocent. Um, the night before this article ran of killing a prison guard and, um, officers had said the day before that he had signed a statement, um, the prior December saying he had kidnapped and killed Georgia gene during his trial for the killing of this prison guard, his defense counsel contended that the prisoner had made a number of confessions to murders that he could not have done. And that one of those was this crime. Um, he said on the Friday, again, the day before that this ran, that he had made up the story about kidnapping Georgia gene after it in an Omaha newspaper in October of the previous year, a letter from him to Wisconsin officials led them to question him. Captain Glenn Petty of the Jefferson County police said, McClelland has told us too much, so much that we don't have to prove his guilt. He will have to prove his innocence. I'm sorry, that sounds like a Trump line. I kind of want a bar for right now in my mouth and all over this microphone so I won't Barf. Um, he had actually been McClellan who had actually been serving two life terms for murdering a tourist couple from Virginia near Omaha during, uh, August of 1947. And, um, you know, he didn't have a motive, but definitely was a violent person so people could see how that could have been a connection. Okay. But, um, his story is also extremely similar to Buford sentence in that he claimed basically the same things that they had kidnapped her, that they had accidentally given her too many sleeping pills and then dumped her body off of blue river red or bridge, excuse me. Um, and again, nobody ever found anything from her body within that river. Yeah. Um, senates comments were made seven months after Georgia gene disappeared. And at this point, we are several years later. And so what I think could, um, play into this is I have a feeling that McClelland would rather have been in Wisconsin than actually be facing this trial for murdering this prison guard. Cause I can't imagine other prison guards are going to treat you well if they know you're in prison and facing trial for murdering one of them. That's not how cops act. Um, and that maybe word had traveled through the various prison whisper networks like it does okay. And that he kind of owned that story as his own, but, but that's just my theory. You know, he definitely doesn't fit the same way that Buford Senate does. Okay. Another potential subject is none other than future podcast. Uh, yeah. Subject I guess. Ed Gene. Hmm. Yeah. Um, George's case received additional attention about 10 years after she vanished. Um, when authorities in Plainfield, Wisconsin arrested at Geen for murdering a local female tavern keeper. Um, investigators uncovered lots of things that his farm were not going to go into it yet. Um, and they consider him a possible subject in suspect. Oh my God. In George's disappearance as well as the disappearance of Evelyn Hartley who was abducted from Lacrosse in 1953. Um, I think part of it is just because neither of them have been found and he had a bunch of like nipples and stuff in his house. Like, I don't know, I just feel like that's what people would assume what happened. Neither Avalon nor Georgia Jean fit the profile for gains victims. Like he went after middle aged women. There's a reason he might want after middle aged women. Um, he also doesn't match the description of the person that they believe abducted Georgia gene. Cause surprise. He was not 20 to 25 during this time period. He did own a black 1937 Ford, but like how many people owned that at this point in time? Um, there's a couple other stories associated with George's disappearance that I wanted to touch on because I think they're interesting. Um, and these are all pooled from like local news stories that are all on a Weebly site. And I'll, I'll put the link in the show notes, but it's um, family members who have like meticulously kept notes and news articles are related to the case. So you can go back and look from like the day she disappeared onwards at the evolution of the case, see the obituaries of her family members. Um, look at the family member that runs the site, what their theories are. It's just absolutely fascinating. And Oh my God, I could spend hours, could spend hours, I won't, but I could. So these are, these are all from some of those articles. Um, so right after Georgia gene disappears, they are looking for this man in his late twenties, mid to late twenties, driving a black Ford or 1936 or 37 Ford sedan equipped with a spotlight. And a spare tire carried on the rear as was kind of the thing. And the time period that car had been seen twice near the Wexler farm around the time she disappeared. And the two stories told to the men of, um, the sheriff's office in Jefferson County did have some contradictions between them, especially in time, but they, I think they were just grasping for everything they could get. Um, see even try to link anything up at this point. Around 3:40 PM on Thursday, about 10 minutes after Georgia gene was seen last, um, a man named Ernie was driving east on highway 12, a black Ford sedan turned out of a byway ahead of him and he followed it to the city. He believes that the side road was the lane leading to the Wexler farm. About 10 minutes later, the teacher of the Ives school about to land one half, two and one half miles southwest of the Wexler home noticed a very similar car or the same car. School had already been dismissed and she was there alone putting the Friday lessons on the blackboard. So prepping for the next day. The car on the side road running past the school, moved very slowly. The teacher went to the door and looked out in the car, sped up and went away. Um, and again it resembled the same one seen by Ernie. A third story was during the time this news story came out being checked by the Fort Atkinson police. Sometime between three 30 and 4:00 PM, Sam Clement of Fort Atkinson stopped his car at a sign near the Fort Atkinson telephone exchange. Um, an older car parked a man and woman got out as they were about halfway across the street, a little girl in the back seat of this car yelled out, let me out. I want to go home. The man in this couple turned back, reached into the car and appeared to either strike the girl or pull something over her head. Um, claimant also said that this incident was seen by two men standing on a corner and possibly by, um, picketers in front of the telephone building. Um, the account of Georgia Jean's actions really follows a pattern up until the point where she gets towards home. Um, and they're not sure what happens, right. So they're really grasping at straws and looking into this theory. Um, at least one this was all happening. Yeah. Clement moved to get out of his, um, to try to go look at what was happening with this girl in this forward. Um, he noted that there were two men, those two men that had also witnessed this incident were coming towards the car from where they had been standing. Cars behind him began honking because he was still driving, right. Um, he had just been stopped at a stop light and the light had changed. So he had to go and he said that he believed that those two men on the corner were going to handle the situation. This was between half an hour to an hour after the neighbor, Mrs Flowcrete, that's a funky name. Um, took Georgia Jean home. The children had been carefully told about stranger danger and you know, don't get into cars, pupil, you don't know all that stuff. Um, but her dad also pointed out that it wasn't unlikely that she might've gotten into a car within the driveway itself cause the driveway really is like a longer road that just goes up to their house. Um, and she'd probably assume that a driver coming up the driveway was going to be there to visit her dad who was the treasurer of the town. Um, and so probably wouldn't have thought as much about saying no to them as she would to somebody driving on main street, offering her a ride. Numerous black cars, several of them without license plate had been stopped by police during this time period. Um, so within a couple of weeks after the incident, but all drivers had been able to, you know, share their alibis and, and nothing came of that. A neighbor, Mrs Ivan l Jones, I love when they just refer to women as their husband's name. That's great. Mrs. Jones had said that Georgia Jean often talked about how she'd feared kidnapping after hearing about the kidnapping and murder of Suzanne Degnan in Chicago. They're not sure what prompted that fear, but I'm sure hearing details about being kidnapped and murdered, I might do that. Just, I don't know. Why are we listening to true crime podcasts right now? Friends. Um, the sheriff and George's father, we're still at this point, you know, searching. Um, but we're exhausted. They went nonstop for as long as they could. Um, and it would just was really, really hard on them in the whole community. They searched for Georgia for several weeks and months and years. Um, I'll be at not with the same vibration as right after her disappearance naturally. But you know, within the couple of days after she disappeared, they went from, you know, calling each other to sweeping, you know, fields and woods nearby and putting up posters to people jumping in their airplanes and, you know, doing surveillance sweeps of the area to see if they could see anything out of the ordinary. And even spiritual. Is Scott in on this? Y'All a tip from one spiritualist precipitated one of the biggest rural police raids in southern Wisconsin history. It brought out 11 police cars, more than 25 officers, sirens, guns, and spotlights. The raid had it start in a trip, which Elmer Wachtler and uncle of the girl made it to a spiritualist in fall. DLAC the spiritual is described as deserted farmhouse in which the searchers would find the eight year old girl. The uncles convinced the officers to at least give this try. Right. What do you have to lose at this point? And 11 police cars. The men converged by several roads at midnight Friday. I didn't look at the dates. I'm so sorry. I'm on an embarrassingly deserted farmhouse and the eastern part of Dane County, um, which is where Madison is. Madison is like the capital of Dane County. I mean it's the capital of the state, but like it's the main city in Dane County. Yeah. Everything else is super rural. For the most part. The officers surrounded the structure and then hit it with spotlights from their cars. They hunted the horns and yelled for the occupant, if any to come out. No one appeared. The men observed a fresh tire trail leading into the yard. Um, and then into a dark foreboding barn. They opened the door and found a car with what? Tires in the back seat. They found a Jefferson newspaper in which the story about George's disappearance was featured. They found a pair of stockings and a flowered scarf. The car license was issued to a man from Meryl, Wisconsin. Yeah. Those findings convinced the officers they were on the right trail. So they returned to the house and when they were about to break in the front door, the owner just like came out in his long underwear and was like, what's up? What do you want? And they asked if he had a little girl in the house and he said, yeah, my like nine year old daughter is here. And they're like, George's almost nine. So they were just like super convinced, like, we have got her, this is it. And they demand to see the daughter. And the guy is like, oh fuck you guys think it's Georgia. It's not Georgia. He leads her upstairs. It is two 30 in the morning. He, um, he leads the police officers upstairs and they go, oh, fuck. It's not Georgia. Um, the police officers and specifically Elmer Wah Claire, the Song Cole as with most, um, kidnappings, especially of young girls, there were reports of Georgia being seen in other cities and even states. I mean, that was not an uncommon thing. Um, but they really didn't ever turn out to be her. Mrs Wachtler said, this is so sad. We thought we'd been through the worst when the children had polio last August. So before she disappeared, um, Georgia and her siblings had all had polio terribly and Georgia actually had the worst case of it. Um, and I actually know somebody who had polio. So it's quite fascinating to be able to like, ask questions about that time period and what polio was like. Um, and then want to shit my pants because of anti-vaxxers and okay. Polio wants to try to make a comeback. Okay, well let's go back to this quote. So we thought we'd been through the worst when the children had polio last August. It would be better. She'd been killed on the highway then. At least we'd know. And that's so fucking sad. Okay. Only once did a search party and cover really anything useful. And it was George's brother Laverne, who is 12, and he was with a couple of older teens hunting through the woods near the Ives school and they found the footprint of a small girl, one of Georgia jeans shoes, like totally fit that print. And then like within a couple of days, one of the neighbor girls was like, oh guys, sorry. That was me. I was picking flowers. Um, other than that, no trace of Georgia has really ever been found and her disappearance is still unsolved and Israel fuck and sad. Um, just on the off chance that one of you is like a hundred years old, if you or anyone you know has information about what might've happened to Georgia, um, called detective Lee Admirer of the Jefferson County sheriff's office. Her number is 920-SIX-SEVEN-4736, five. And it is so sad, so sad. Um, you know, George's family, her, her parents are dead. All of her kind of extended family. The older people who were really gung ho about trying to search for her, that uncle Elmer, you know, they're, they're all dead. Um, I think she has maybe a couple of her siblings are still around, but okay. It's, it's very sad because you know that these people have gone through hell and that they will never have had closure. Um, this is one moment where I do feel very strongly about my own beliefs in some sort of afterlife and I don't know what that looks like. I mean, maybe it's different for everybody. I don't know. But, uh, my hope is that, you know, the, the mother, the father, the rest of the family members who have passed, um, have been able to reconnect with Georgia gene on the other side and at least know what happened. Um, and excuse me, I think I'll just like throat burped. Um, and I, I really do hope that the story about her taking sleeping pills, being made to take sleeping pills and going in her sleep is what happened. My Gut says that's not what happened, but I want to believe that that's what happened for her sake. Um, and you know, maybe for the sake of people, if they ever do find out what happened is there is so many stories where that's not the case, but I also can't see that being reality. So ugh. Sucks. Why did I pick a Downer at bus? Oh, topic. Well, uh, you know, I'll, I'll go back to the thing from when I first covered Jamie clauses disappearance. Um, when they first found her really is when I started. So I just have to remember that Georgia Jean's case has stuck around because she was a white kid. She was a little white girl in the middle of white town whose family was well connected. And that's why we know about her story. There are tons of black and brown babies that have gone missing that nobody cares enough about to even look at doing a fucking fly over. Um, and I'm going to put a link up in the show notes too. Information about current missing children. Um, you know, figure out where to get that information in your area and, and look for it because you never know. You could be the one person that sees something, says something and saves someone's life or the very least can give a family closure. And that's pretty fucking awesome. Just for those people to have that regardless of whether or not you really are involved with it. I think that's pretty cool. So anyway, um, again, butt plug for a, the true crime podcast festival this Saturday in Chicago. Come hang out and come see me. I'm excited to see people there. Um, I might scream about some of the podcasters that are going to be there. That'll be fine. Um, but also like I will probably have no voice by the end of that day. Um, and if you are going to be in Chicago for that, let me know. Maybe we can hang up, get a drink, you know, ham sandwich. I don't know. I really like do write doughnuts in Chicago. So shit, maybe we can just eat some donuts. I am so down for true crime and donuts. That should be a thing. Anyway, come on on Saturday. If you can't, you know, keep me posted on true crime hops in your area. And maybe I'll do that sometime when I have money after being divorced. Um, thanks again for being understanding about shit cause this has been a weird ass couple of weeks and I don't like it. Um, but you know, knowing that I have a duty to y'all actually helped a lot and sitting down and doing this like right now while I'm alone in my current place is just, it's been really Cathartic. So I'm going to stop talking at, you know, and I will catch Ya. On the flip side, you just listened to the spooky scanny podcast.

October 24, 1953. La Crosse, Wisconsin. The father of 15-year old Evelyn Hartley attempts to phone her while she is babysitting an infant child, but there is no answer at the house. After travelling there to check on her, he discovers that Evelyn has disappeared and the evidence suggests she was the victim of a violent abduction by an intruder. Days later, pieces of blood-stained clothing are found outside of town which are believed to belong to Evelyn and her abductor. Over the next several decades, there would be a number of developments, including a possible connection to notorious murderer Ed Gein and the discovery of a tape-recorded confession implicating multiple suspects in the crime, but Evelyn is never found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we examine what is considered to be one of the most terrifying unsolved missing persons cases of all time.
