A deadly flash flood has devastated parts of Grand Canyon National Park, leaving two people dead, others still unaccounted for, destroying trails and bridges, and severely damaging the Transcanyon Waterline — forcing major water restrictions and lodging closures on the South Rim. In this week's national park and public lands news roundup, we break down what happened at the Grand Canyon and what visitors need to know right now. We're also covering: • A major Trump administration proposal that would make it easier for the National Park Service to expand bicycle and e-bike access • New reporting from Anna Kramer at NOTUS on a proposed Yosemite land deal that could give a private developer direct access through the park • Wolf activity forcing new tent-camping restrictions at Isle Royale National Park • Kansas State Parks raising camping and vehicle fees — and eliminating its annual camping pass We'll separate the headlines from what the actual rules and proposals say, explain what's changing, and tell you what matters if you're planning a national park or camping trip. #NationalParks #GrandCanyon #Yosemite #RVMiles #CampingNews #PublicLands Tickets for HOMECOMING are on sale!

The J. M. Smucker Company notched a win in its trademark dilution case against Trader Joe's over the Uncrustable dupes. A judge in Ohio refused to dismiss the case or transfer it to California.    For the third time, Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected Trump's attempt to remove his hush money conviction case to federal court from New York State court.   The Supreme Court allowed Trump to build his monstrous bunker ballroom.   DOOFUS OF THE DAY: George Santos managed to get himself banned for life by Kalshi after he got caught better on his own attendance at the State of the Union.   MAIN SHOW:   Judge Rita Lin granted summary judgment to Anthropic in its case against the Defense Department. After the company objected to the use of its product for autonomous lethal targeting and mass surveillance of Americans, Pete Hegseth set out to destroy its business. He failed.   Judge Indira Talwani refused to stay her own order blocking the Post Office from implementing Trump's demand to seize control of mail-in ballots.    Prosecutors in Minnesota hope to criminalize protest by claiming that an entire network of people engaging in First Amendment-protected protest are responsible if one of them eventually commits a crime. Pursuant to a Trump directive known as NSPM-7, the DOJ instructed operatives to infiltrate and surveil affinity groups espousing "extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment." None of which is a crime! They've charged 15 protesters in Minnesota as part of a conspiracy that includes major unions and the DSA — all of which they've snooped on using administrative warrants from DHS.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS: A gestational surrogate from Alaska is trying to steal a sick baby.

NPR did an investigation with Boston University and found that deaths related to heat are being undercounted in the U.S. BU researcher Quinn Adams tells us more. Then, at least two people are dead, and more than a dozen are missing in the Grand Canyon after flash flooding along the Colorado River on Saturday, according to the National Park Service. We get the latest from KNAU's Chris Clements. And, a military judge has ruled that confessions the FBI obtained from accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed cannot be used in his trial, 25 years after nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. We speak with New York Times reporter Carol Rosenberg and Don Arias, who lost his brother Adam on 9/11.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

U.S. President Trump told Fox News' Trey Yingst on Monday that there will be a response to Iran's strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan. "We're going to hit them hard,” Trump said. U.S. forces struck two Iranian launchers on Iran's Larak Island on Sunday, ​a U.S. official said, marking the first known American strikes on Iran since ‌late July. The strikes were an attempt to protect operations in the Strait of Hormuz after U.S. Central Command completed the clearing of sea mines from the strait's international shipping routes last week.One person is dead, and others are missing after flash flooding in the Grand Canyon, the National Park Service said on Aug. 30. The body of a 46-year-old man was found near Crystal Rapids along the Colorado River, the service said late Sunday. A local medical examiner was on site. The service said there was no additional information to share about the death at this time.

Near El Morro, one of Puerto Rico's most recognizable historic sites, a government road project called for cutting down 26 mature trees, widening a road, adding a roundabout, and turning part of a grassy area into parking. Giancarlo Gonzalez, an Old San Juan resident and founding member of a Strong Towns Local Conversation in San Juan, explains how neighbors discovered the plan and began asking why it was needed at all. Their petition has drawn more than 8,000 signatures, pulled the National Park Service into the fight, and forced new scrutiny of a project residents say was moving forward without their input.

Once again I have to address the total ignorance of the situation in North Carolina.* #1 NO ONE BUILT THEIR HOUSE NEXT TO THE OCEAN* Most the motels and cottages were made between 20 to 71 years ago when the water was hundreds of yards away. * No the beach erosion is not natural, do not give me this let nature take its course crapIF the government had not put in jetties, there would not be so much beach erosion north of them. Imagine damming up a river and then just letting the dam break. Of course there would be flooding. Well if you make jetties you have to maintain them, as half a jetty is more deadly than none. Having one sitting out there with a hole in it just sucks out sand. Compounding this was were the geniuses of the army corpse of engineers who dug out pipes and tanks that had created an oil leak from the abandoned cost guard base that had been converted into a monstrous empty housing project created during the 2008 mortgage back security scam. This created a sink hole that also contributed to erosion. Once again the government did that.It was the government that initially removed sand from the exact spots that flooded by the dump truck load to fill in a swamp to place a naval base which was later converted to a coast guard base 1986. This was relocated in 2005 and the National Park Service took over the 49 acre lot. They sold the 8 arce portion that had cost guard housing on it to private developers from Sylakama, LLC. run by a Yankee from Illinois, Lee Pontes who role plays as a Virginian. The Yank built a 45-unit complex consists of 23 separate buildings: 24 two-bedroom, 14 three-bedroom and seven four-bedroom units, most with carports, screened porches, and decks. When the natural historic district zoning — which restricts multifamily and group housing — was put in place, the housing complex was still owned by the Coast Guard. Since the federal government is exempted from county zoning regulations, the complex was considered a legal non-conforming use.Well how about that the government creating another problem again.The government* removed the sand by the dump truck load* created and then broke a base* developed property there selling Park land to be developed by a yankee (former government employee to) who sold it to other yankees that no local could afford* abandoned the property which created an oil leak* dug that up and did so poorly which created more beach erosion* built and then neglected the jetties which caused massive erosion* sat on their thumbs as more than 30 properties were swallowed by the Sea. It was also the government that built the dune network across the entire island. It is counter intuitive but sand dunes actually make more erosion and water damage as they trap in even rain water between the dunes and the road. DOT (Department of Transportation) loss a lawsuit over this. Ai was unaware of it until I gave it specific names. The DOT is also more Government. So when Reagan said the most terrifying words in the English language were, “Hi, we're the government and we're here to help” boy did he get that right. Well you will never change anything they said. I am happy to report to every person who said that that that they can eat a bowl of ….Look at it now. What is super sad is that this beach was dredged and created in a matter of DAYS. In under a week there was a beach. The next step is to fix the broken jetty. Ryan Dawson's Anti-neocon Report is a reader-supported publication.

DOCKET ALERTS:   US Attorney Jeanine Pirro wants to leave the door open to re-charging David Hearn for damaging the reflecting pool, although she concedes that literally everything she said in her original indictment was a lie.   Pirro is also doing her darnedest to keep a lady locked up for the high crime of spraypainting.   Judge Reed O'Connor is trying for a third time to allow manufacturers to sell ghost guns, no matter what the Supreme Court says.   We're still waiting on the Supreme Court to say whether Trump can keep building his ballroom, or will have to cease above-ground construction as lower courts have ruled.   MAIN SHOW:   FCC Chair Brendan Carr is trying to burn down ABC for crimes of woke. But after he demanded that the ten local affiliates owned by the network renew their licenses early — likely a prelude to putting them out of business — ABC's parent company Disney swung into action. They sued the agency for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment.   The DOJ's "8647" indictment of James Comey is circling the drain. The government filed its responses to various motions today, and they are … creative! They quote at length from Comey's novel and his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.    In January, ICE agent Christian Castro shot Minnesota man Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis and then filed a false report claiming that Sosa-Celis attacked him with a snow shovel. The charges against Sosa-Celis were quickly dropped, and in May state officials charged Castro with second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime and court issued a warrant for his arrest. By then, Castro was in Texas, where Governor Greg Abbott — the Law and Chaos DOOFUS OF THE DAY — has refused to extradite him to Minnesota as mandated by the Constitution's Extradition Clause. And so now Minnesota has sued Texas in federal court.    US v.

In this episode of The Lifeguard Podcast, we sit down with Doug Armstrong, a captain with the National Park Service Ocean Lifeguards at Ocean Beach, San Francisco — one of the only National Park Service lifeguard operations on the California coast. Doug walks through his path from teenage East Coast beach lifeguard to nearly 20 years guarding one of the most dynamic and unpredictable stretches of water in the country, right beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. He breaks down what makes Ocean Beach so uniquely demanding: shifting tidal currents, dense fog, and a small seven-person crew that has to stay mobile, fit, and tightly bonded to handle it all. The conversation also covers Doug's unexpected second career as an attorney, how he balances two very different professional identities, and his work bringing water safety expertise to wave pool facilities like the Surf Ranch. It's a rare look inside a lifeguard operation most people — even within the industry — have never heard of.00:00 – Intro: Meet Doug Armstrong02:00 – How Doug got his start lifeguarding on the East Coast05:00 – First year on the job and his first rescue09:00 – The move to California and the National Park Service11:00 – What makes NPS lifeguarding at Ocean Beach unique13:00 – Life on patrol: no towers, no facility, just trucks15:00 – Tidal currents and Ocean Beach's toughest conditions17:00 – Running a 7-person crew and team culture19:00 – Leadership: filtering and building the right team28:00 – Training standards and going through wetsuits30:00 – Working with the Coast Guard, fire dept, and biologists33:00 – Operating under the Golden Gate Bridge36:00 – Pay, cost of living, and working for a federal agency40:00 – Doug's side gig as a practicing attorney44:00 – How law and lifeguarding sharpen each other50:00 – Growing the program with full-time positions52:00 – The Stinson Beach side of the operation54:00 – Keeping his lifeguard and attorney identities separate57:00 – Getting into wave pool water safety (Surf Ranch)1:01:00 – The rise of wave parks and new water safety needs1:02:00 – Doug's advice for aspiring lifeguards1:05:00 – Closing thoughts on Ocean Beach's operationWatch On YouTube Here:https://youtu.be/mSqV-vSgQdoPresented by The Ben Carlson Foundation:https://www.bencarlsonfoundation.org/https://www.instagram.com/bencarlson_foundation/Subscribe to the Podcast Here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lifeguard-project/id1748861682https://open.spotify.com/show/7EoZTDiET6jJ6XJ1g5X54thttps://www.instagram.com/thelifeguardproject/https://thelifeguardproject.org/Host, Drasko Bogdanovic:https://www.instagram.com/drasko_projectsOcean Lifeguard, National Park Service Lifeguards, Ocean Beach San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, Rip Current Safety, Water Rescue, Lifeguard Culture, Coastal Lifeguarding, Surf Zone Safety, Wave Pool Water Safety

Boone and Crockett Club: History & Mission Tony Schoonen shares the rich history of the Boone and Crockett Club, which was founded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell. The organization was formed by sportsmen after Roosevelt witnessed the severe decimation of wildlife and natural resources in the West, particularly in the Yellowstone region. In its first two decades, the club was instrumental in passing the Yellowstone Preservation Act (1892) and the Lacey Act (1900), and helped establish the National Forest Reserves, the National Park Service, and the National Wildlife Refuge System. The founders effectively shifted wildlife management away from unregulated market hunting to the sustainable, state-managed model we rely on today. Tony and Larry discuss the vital distinction between conservation (the active, wise use and management of natural resources) and preservation (a "no-touch" approach that can negatively impact ecosystems). The club's iconic records program was established in the 1930s. It was not created as a hunting contest, but as a scientific tool to measure the success of conservation efforts over the previous 30 years. The records program uses the presence of mature male specimens (measured by antler and horn size) as an indicator of a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Today, wildlife managers across North America actively use this database to monitor habitat health. Fair Chase ethics remain a cornerstone of the organization; only free-ranging animals legally harvested under fair chase conditions are eligible for the record books. Tony highlights a major new initiative aimed at combating poaching, a crime that historically suffers from low detection (under 4%) and low prosecution rates. Following a five-year research project funded by the Leopold Foundation, the club realized the massive financial loss the public trust bears due to wildlife theft. The club developed a formula to calculate the true replacement cost of illegally harvested animals and is actively working to implement this into state legislation. The Poach & Pay legislation has already passed in 8 pilot states. The initiative also aims to elevate severe poaching crimes from misdemeanors to felonies. To further empower citizens, the club is developing a smartphone app that will allow individuals to instantly drop a pin and report suspected poaching directly to law enforcement. The core of the Boone and Crockett Club consists of 100 Regular Members (problem-solving business leaders mirroring the original founders) and approximately 167 Professional Members (wildlife scientists, academics, and agency heads). The club also offers an Associate Membership base, which is open to the public and currently boasts around 4,000 grassroots members, an impressive 25% of whom are Lifetime Associates. Hunters and conservationists interested in supporting the club's ongoing legislative, ethical, and habitat-management efforts can join by visiting their website at boone-crockett.org.

Photo: Invasive Green Crab. (Linda Shaw / NOAA Fisheries) Invasive European green crabs have swelled in population across southern Southeast Alaska since they were first detected in the region four years ago. In response, Ketchikan, Alaska's local tribe recently petitioned the state to open a green crab sport fishery to help manage the invasive's spread. The request was denied, citing a lack of evidence that the invasive species has contributed to environmental changes. KRBD's Hunter Morrison reports. The Ketchikan Indian Community submitted the emergency petition to the state's Board of Fisheries in March, asking to reclassify European green crabs from a Class A to a Class B banned invasive species. This change would allow anybody to transport dead European green crabs for harvest or consumption. Currently, the invasive can only be possessed or transported for scientific or educational purposes by those with a special Aquatic Resource Permit. Emily Halsell is a fisheries and wildlife biologist with Ketchikan's tribal government. “This isn’t an issue that’s going anywhere, and it seems to be largely ignored throughout much of the state.” The tribe has removed about 1,500 green crabs from Ketchikan beaches so far this year. In its petition to the state, the tribe cites the species' damaging impacts to the local ecosystem and economy. The adaptive critter can burrow and destroy eelgrass beds, which are nurseries for native species like Dungeness crabs and juvenile salmon. “So when these crabs come up and they tear up this critical marine habitat, there’s cascading population effects.” The species was first detected in Alaska in 2022 on Annette Island, south of Ketchikan. They have since reached about 70 miles north. And the number of green crabs detected has increased. Halsell says they can reproduce two or three times a year, and can lay up to 180,000 eggs each time. Halsell believes a change in how the crab is classified in Alaska, and opening a sport fishery for them, could help better manage their spread. Alaska Fish and Game Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang, who denied the petition, says the state is determining how to best manage the invasive. A letter from his office states a lack of evidence that the invasive has contributed to changes in eelgrass habitat or caused changes in fishery populations. “I'm not opposed to the concept. I just think it needs to be fleshed out a little bit more, and I think it needs to be, you know, what does a fishery look like? What are the gear types that would be allowed, and what would happen with incidental harvests?” Halsell believes green crab management efforts need to be addressed sooner than that. Summit area of Avi Kwa Ame in southern Nevada, which is adjacent to the proposed land sale. (Photo: Stan Shebs / Wikimedia) Public lands are especially important to Tribal communities across Nevada, and a new report finds protecting those lands is also a top priority for a large majority of voters statewide. Suzanne Potter has the story. Protection of public lands is a top issue for a large majority of Nevada voters, according to a new report from the Center for Western Priorities. Researchers aggregated multiple polls and found that most voters oppose the sale of public land and the rollback of environmental protections. The center's executive director, Aaron Weiss, points to the Colorado College Conservation in the West poll, which found that 82% of Nevada voters oppose the Trump administration's funding cuts to agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service. “Western voters see public lands, waters, and wildlife as a motivating factor in how they vote and is worth everyone across the political spectrum keeping in mind as we head into this election season.” Last year, proposals from U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) and U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to sell off public lands were abandoned after they drew a big backlash. Environmental advocates say the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act of 1998 is a better model, because it established a process to identify land suitable for development while giving permanent protection to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land. Weiss says the feds have now thrown their support behind the data center boom. “We see them rushing to try to hand over public lands to build data centers over the objection of local and neighboring communities. The way that this process played out near Boulder City exemplifies that.” Recently, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum slashed the boundaries of two national monuments in Utah. Conservation groups are also concerned that the feds will target other national monuments next, including Gold Butte outside of Las Vegas. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

For John Fisher, the answer was not reinvention for its own sake. It was the chance to keep growing, serving, solving problems, and feeling fully engaged. Before becoming a Ranger, John spent more than 20 years at Sony Pictures Television, including as supervising producer of The Young and the Restless, where he won six Emmy Awards. His earlier career included work with HBO and key roles in launching MTV, VH-1, MTV Europe, and The Comedy Channel. His next chapter didn’t pop up overnight. It grew from volunteering. One opportunity led to another: EMT certification, a seasonal Ranger-Assistant role, ranger training, and eventually the Río Hondo Basic Police Academy. There, surrounded by much younger recruits, John became California's oldest graduate of a basic Police Academy, class president and was voted Most Inspirational. In this conversation, John explains how he handled the demands of the academy, why age brought advantages as well as limitations, and how three simple criteria (learning something new, helping people, and having fun) guided his choices. His story is dramatic, but his approach is accessible. Becoming a Ranger may not be your thing, but what small experiment might open your own unexpected next chapter? John Fisher joins us from California. _________________________ Bio John Fisher is a Ranger with the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, a local park agency with extensive property in the Santa Monica Mountains.

A lone mulberry tree stands beside the Washington Monument. It is curious, unexpected, and impossible to ignore once you notice it. Who planted it? Is it historic? Is it one tree or two? Why is it preserved, when there is no other tree on the immediate grounds?D.C. tree tour guide Sam Nelson chased down the answers, found in a 2014 government report. The author is landscape historian Jonathan Pliska, who also wrote A Garden for the President: A History of the White House Gardens. In celebration of America's 250th birthday, host Doug Still hands the mic to Sam and Jonathan for a conversation that explores the mysteries of this mulberry tree next to our iconic national monument. The story involves several early champions of 19th century horticulture, and the history of the National Mall itself.GuestsSam NelsonWriter, Educator, NaturalistTree Stories, LLCJonathan PliskaAuthor and Landscape HistorianA Garden for the President: A History of the White House GardensReferencesHistoric American Landscape Survey (HALS), National Park Service (website)Music"The Dying Poet," Louis Moreau Gottschalk, 1863Played by Jim RicePhoto creditSam NelsonTheme Music"This Old Tree," Diccon Lee, www.deeleetree.comArtworkDahn Hiuni, www.dahnhiuni.com/homeWebsitethisoldtree.showTranscripts available.Follow onFacebook or InstagramThis Old Tree podcast is a sponsored project of the New England Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture.

Trauma surgeon Martin Takac came to Alaska to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America. He reached the summit. The hardest part, it seemed, was behind him. Then, on the descent, the ground disappeared. A hidden snow bridge collapsed beneath Martin, dropping him deep into a crevasse on the Kahiltna Glacier. He survived the fall—but his body became wedged so tightly inside the narrowing walls of blue ice that rescuers couldn't simply pull him back out. What followed was an extraordinary 15-hour crevasse rescue involving Denali guides, National Park Service mountaineering rangers, volunteers, a helicopter pilot, and eventually a piece of equipment no one would normally expect to see on a glacier. Meanwhile, Martin was trapped almost completely motionless as the cold slowly pushed his body into profound hypothermia. In this episode of The Crux: True Survival Stories, we follow the rescue hour by hour and explore hidden crevasses, snow bridges, glacier travel, severe hypothermia, and the decisions that can separate an ordinary descent from a fight for survival. 00:00 — Podcast Cold Open00:28 — Trapped in Blue Ice01:43 — Meet Martin Takac02:46 — Finding the Edge04:32 — How Far Can You Go?06:24 — The Seven Summits07:47 — Why Denali Is Different09:44 — The Descent10:22 — A Calculated Risk11:48 — One Last Decision12:51 — What Lies Beneath the Glacier14:12 — One Careful Step16:51 — A Man Disappears18:23 — The Rope Won't Move19:33 — The Trap Inside the Crevasse19:57 — Sixty Feet Down21:35 — The Rescue Begins22:34 — The Cold Takes Over24:58 — Into the Blue26:39 — Running Out of Options29:31 — The Perfect Disguise31:47 — Time Becomes the Enemy33:17 — One Last Idea34:57 — Back Into the Light35:55 — How Is He Still Alive?39:06 — What the Glacier Left Behind References National Park Service. “Two Climbers Rescued from the Kahiltna Glacier.” June 5, 2017.https://www.nps.gov/dena/two-climbers-rescued-from-the-kahiltna-glacier.htm Anchorage Daily News. “Inside the Dramatic, 14-Hour Rescue That Freed a Climber From a Deep Crevasse on Denali.” June 6, 2017.https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2017/06/06/the-story-behind-the-dramatic-14-hour-rescue-that-freed-a-slovakian-climber-from-a-deep-crevasse-on-denali/ Anchorage Daily News. “Denali Climber Who Survived 15 Hours in Crevasse Says He Is Grateful for a New Life.” June 20, 2017.https://www.adn.com/opinions/2017/06/20/denali-climber-who-survived-15-hours-in-crevasse-says-he-is-grateful-for-a-new-life/ CBS News / Associated Press. “High Drama: 15-Hour Rescue From North America's Tallest Mountain, Alaska's Denali.” June 7, 2017.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/15-hour-rescue-north-americas-tallest-mountain-alaskas-denali/ CBC News. “‘Not for the Claustrophobic': Climber Falls Down Narrow Crevasse on Alaskan Glacier, Rescuers Chip Him Out.” June 8, 2017.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/denali-crevasse-climber-rescue-alaska-1.4149936 Mountain Trip. “June 2 West Buttress Team — Guides Perform Crevasse Rescue on Unroped, Private Climber.” June 6, 2017.https://mountaintrip.com/trip-reports/new-audio-recording-396/ Unofficial Networks. “Colorado Guides Receive National Bravery Award for Saving Climber's Life on Denali.” September 16, 2022.https://unofficialnetworks.com/2022/09/16/mountain-trip-bravery-award-denali/ WesternSlopeNow (KREX). “Colorado Guides Recognized for Saving Climber's Life.” September 2022.https://www.westernslopenow.com/news/colorado-guides-recognized-for-saving-climbers-life/ Noviny.sk (TV JOJ). “Aljaska: Slovenský Horolezec Spadol do Úzkej Trhliny v Ľade.” June 7, 2017.https://www.noviny.sk/zahranicie/229582-aljaska-slovensky-horolezec-spadol-do-uzkej-trhliny-v-lade U.S. Geological Survey. “Geology of Denali National Park and Preserve.”https://www.usgs.gov/geology-and-ecology-of-national-parks/geology-denali-national-park-and-preserve Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Getting a 1906 house on East Main open as a private club took roughly four hours of public hearing, a year and a half of untangling restrictions nobody caught at closing, and about twelve business plans before one penciled.In this episode, Tyler Bromagen - a partner in Camel Club at 509 E. Main St. and the developer of The Ashbrook Hotel in Frankfort - joins us to walk through what adaptive reuse actually costs in time.We cover his first flip on Mockingbird Lane, the construction company that failed by chasing revenue instead of margin, and the point between roughly ten and thirty rental units where you can neither self-manage nor afford staff. Then the two historic projects: the Qualified Opportunity Zone fund and federal historic tax credits that made the Ashbrook financeable and added about eighteen months, the 500 photographs he printed and hand-labeled for the National Park Service because it wouldn't take digital submissions, and the three months the project sat while historic review said not to touch the plaster and fire code said to sprinkle the building. He also explains how Camel Club's programming - a four-city Kentucky Peach Week, an immersive film-dinner series - came out of staff emails rather than a plan.If you've walked past an empty historic building in Lexington and wondered why nothing is happening to it, this is a fairly complete answer.Bromagen is an owner of Camel Club and The Ashbrook Hotel and holds residential rental property in Lexington and Frankfort. This episode was recorded at Camel Club.Hosted by Ross Boggess

When her father accepted a position with the National Park Service, the family moved into a historic home deep in the Pennsylvania woods. It was quiet, beautiful, and seemed like the perfect place to live.Before long, she found herself waking to the sound of footsteps outside her bedroom. She never questioned them. Surely it was one of her parents or her younger brother heading to the bathroom.Then, over time, other family members began reporting strange experiences of their own.None of them claimed the house was haunted. But for the first time, she found herself asking a question she'd never considered before: What if those footsteps hadn't belonged to her family after all?#HauntedHouse #HistoricHome #GhostFootsteps #Paranormal #RealGhostStories #NationalPark #HauntedHistory #GhostStory #UnexplainedMysteries #PhantomFootsteps #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #Supernatural #HauntedHallway #PennsylvaniaGhostsLove real ghost stories?

Ganz klar, wenn man zum ersten Mal in die USA reist, wird man höchstwahrscheinlich nicht gerade Arkansas und Alabama besuchen. Wegen der wechselvollen oft dunklen Geschichte der Südstaaten gibt es in den Südosten des Landes viel zu entdecken – Orte, die an die Bürgerrechtsbewegung erinnern ebenso wie lebendige Musikgeschichte, Artenvielfalt in State Parks und schnuckelige kleine Downtowns.„La petite roche“- kleiner Felsen- so nannte der französische Entdecker de la Harpe eine Gesteinsformation, als er Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts den heutigen Arkansas River landeinwärts entlangschipperte. Die Hauptstadt des heutigen Bundesstaats Arkansas heißt „Little Rock“. Eine Stadt mit rund 200 000 Einwohnern, die sich über viele Quadratkilometer verteilt, aus einem Patchwork unterschiedlicher Neighbourhoods besteht und mit viel Interessantem aufwartet. Nahe des State Capitols von Arkansas erinnert eine eindrucksvolle Skulptur an die „Little Rock Nine“.Das waren die ersten afroamerikanischen Schülerinnen und Schüler, die nach der offiziellen Aufhebung der Rassentrennung in Arkansas eine High School besuchten. 1957 war das - der Gouverneur von Arkansas versuchte, ihnen den Besuch der High School zu verwehren, ein weißer Mob demonstrierte vor der Schule. Und Präsident Eisenhower setzte schließlich Bundestruppen ein, um die Schüler zum Unterricht zu eskortieren. Heute wird die High School samt Gelände vom National Park Service betreut, es gibt Führungen und unterschiedlichste Veranstaltungen.Überhaupt, Little Rock bietet eine ziemlich vielfältige Museumslandschaft. Von den dichten Wäldern und mittelgebirgsähnlichen Regionen in Arkansas zum Süden von Alabama. Das Tensaw River Delta bei Mobile wird auch der „Amazonas Nordamerikas“ genannt. Hier, wo sich Salz- und Süßwasser mischen, ist eine enorme Artenvielfalt zu finden - allein rund 300 Vogelarten sind hier gesichtet worden, dazu zahlreiche Amphibien, Alligatoren und kleine Säugetiere.Mobile selbst gehört zu den ältesten Städten der USA und ist besonders stolz auf seinen „Mardi Gras“, den ältesten Nordamerikas. Doch Mobile steht auch für ein dunkles Kapitel der amerikanischen Geschichte - im Viertel Africatown erzählt ein kleines Museum seit einigen Jahren die Geschichte der „Clotilda“. Das Schiff schmuggelte 1860 – Jahrzehnte nach dem Verbot des transatlantischen Sklavenhandels - 110 aus Westafrika verschleppte Menschen nach Alabama. Ihre Nachfahren leben heute teilweise noch in Africatown. Und wollen mit dem Museum aber auch mit regelmäßigen Veranstaltungen dafür sorgen, dass ihre Geschichte nicht in Vergessenheit gerät.Crosspromotion: ARD-Podcast: "Amerika, wir müssen reden" https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/amerika-wir-muessen-reden,podcast5882.htmlModeration: Philipp AbreschAutor:in: Sabine LoeprickRedaktion: Philipp Abresch, Angelika PenzMitarbeit: Patricia Batlle Produktion: Wolfgang Seesko, Konrad Winkler

  "(Climate modelling)…it's being used in things like insurance companies. It's being used by companies for their ESG assessments. So, when you get your insurance premium at the end of the year, there is some kind of climate model that has said something about the risk of your house to flood. It has said something about your risk to fire. And so that might be driving up your insurance premium…And so it's being involved in your lives in many different ways. The food you consume, those grocery bills, there's prices behind it that are being driven by people using climate models saying something about the supply chain." Maria Caffrey on Electric Ladies Podcast   With France, Spain and parts of the U.S. and Canada ablaze, tornadoes and floods wiping out communities - and insurance costs rising - we see how critical climate modelling is. How does climate modelling work? How reliable is it?   Listen to climate scientist Maria Caffrey, Ph.D., Principal Scientist at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (and formerly at the U.S. National Park Service) in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        How climate modelling actually works, and who uses it and why. ●        How climate modelling measures risk and how reliable it really is – especially at a time of geological and weather patterns never seen before. ●        What the economic and social impact is of how climate modelling is used today. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:  "I think my big advice would be you just have to roll with the punches and not let your vision of what you should be, define where you are now. You've just got to move with what's right for you at the time….I feel like I'm making a far greater impact honestly, with where I am right now than I never could have predicted….See where things take you. Networking was very important. I will say there are some people around me that have been incredible in getting me on the path that I'm in. And so yeah, if you're unsure, should I be going to this networking drinks or whatever after work, I would say, go for it for sure."

(Courtesy Nishnawbe Aski Nation / YouTube) Indigenous leaders in Ontario are calling for a public inquiry into how the provincial government responded to the wildfires that ripped through parts of Northern Ontario. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, at least two First Nations communities burned to the ground. Several First Nations leaders held a news conference in Thunder Bay recently to counter claims by the Ontario government that it did communicate and respond with Native communities about the fire dangers. Helen Paavola is the chief of the Collins First Nation. “There's nothing left but just ashes. My members barely escaped with the clothes on their back.” Paavola says her community was left to evacuate without notice or support from the government, but Ontario Minister of Emergency Preparedness and Response Jill Dunlop insists there was communication. “There has been a lot of communication back and forth between First Nations communities with myself and with my colleagues and our ministry officials as well.” But Alvin Fiddler, grand chief of the Nishnabe Aski Nation, disagrees. “They were here on Saturday. Premier Doug Ford some ministers were here as well and they didn't even bother to reach out to First Nations leaders.” The chiefs are calling for changes, including officials at the top of the forest fire and emergency services for the ministry of natural resources, pending an independent investigation. And they want a public inquiry into decision making, emergency coordination, and communications with First Nations as well as over provincial preparedness. Jerrod Sessler addresses the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce candidate forum, July 21, 2026. (Courtesy Columbia Basin Herald / Facebook) A congressional candidate in Washington state has apologized for recent remarks that falsely claimed the Colville Tribe has an “incentive” for more fires, because they get “free money” from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). KREM 2 TV reports that Republican Jerrod Sessler hopes to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) in an upcoming primary. The district includes parts of the Colville Indian reservation and the entire Yakama Reservation, which are both experiencing wildfires. At a candidate forum on July 21, Sessler made the following comments about the Colville Tribe. “They don’t pay taxes for anything, but yet we fight those fires to the tune of millions of dollars, and they got a check from FEMA for $30 million for the fire. So what's the incentive for them? The incentive is more fires, ‘Because we get free money.'” Tribal officials condemned Sessler's remarks, reminding people that Native citizens pay federal income “and other applicable federal taxes” while outlining how FEMA funds disaster responses. In a statement sent to tribal leaders Monday, Sessler said his remarks were “ill-informed and incorrect” and there is “no excuse for making these sorts of public comments without verifying the information.” Sessler is one of 11 candidates vying for the 4th Congressional District in the August 4 primary. And the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference just wrapped up in Portland, Oreg. The Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) organized the three-day event, which held panels ranging from how to best cover the MMIP crisis to doing social videos. Melissa Greene-Blye (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma) of the IJA education committee says final registration totals came to roughly 490 attendees, one of the best turnouts yet. “That’s really exciting, um, to maybe find out that word of what’s happening is spreading and people are saying, ‘I want to be a part of this’, and they’re showing up.” Chuck Sams (Cayuse/Walla Walla, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation), the first Native director of the National Park Service, gave the keynote address. Greene-Blye says new developments also sparked interest. “The launch of the Pacific Islander Journalism Network at conference, there was a lot of excitement with that. The new bylaws were an important point of discussion, because it had been decades since they had been updated. Now, the Indigenous Journalist Association renaming is official, official, official on paper, in law.” The event wrapped up with the IJA awards and banquet, which honored Osage News editor Shannon Shaw Duty with two IJA distinguished awards. Former National Native News host Antonia Gonzales (Navajo) was also recognized for her 22 years of hosting this program. Next year's conference will be held in Minneapolis, Minn.

Nobody has to push someone off a boat for a death to become a crime. Prosecutors may be about to test that with the Nolan Wells case. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July, he and a group of friends took a boat out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast. He was last seen there around three in the afternoon. His friends left without him. A National Park Service ranger recovered his body two mornings later, off the island's northwestern tip. Officials initially said they believed Nolan drowned and that they didn't suspect foul play, before the autopsy was even complete. That same office has since said investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what occurred, a statement that sits uneasily next to the first one. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has told the family the case will go to a grand jury once the investigation wraps. What twelve jurors do with a death that has never been formally classified, and whether leaving a person behind on an island can amount to a crime on its own, is the question at the center of this one. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had his phone after leaving the island, and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. Crump's experts and Jackson County investigators have agreed to examine the device together. The family has also arranged its own independent autopsy in Washington, D.C., separate from the one performed by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office. Neither result has been released. Two autopsies, a missing chunk of texts, and a legal theory nobody has tested yet. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A district attorney doesn't send a drowning to a grand jury. So why is that exactly what's happening in the Nolan Wells case? Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats until dark, and then everyone heads back to the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Roughly thirteen hours passed before help was requested. A friend reportedly called the Coast Guard that night, and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned. They've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play. His cause and manner of death still haven't been released, and some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what they saw. None of that explains why the district attorney has now sent the case to a grand jury. Attorney Ben Crump is running a separate, independent investigation for the family, and online, two camps have already dug in — one certain something sinister happened, one certain everyone should calm down. Neither one has seen what the grand jury is about to see. A grand jury doesn't get convened over paperwork. Somewhere between the boat leaving and the ranger finding his body, prosecutors saw something worth putting in front of twelve strangers, and they haven't said what it is. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells was last seen on Horn Island on the Fourth of July. Help wasn't requested for roughly thirteen hours. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, out on the island with friends from Ocean Springs. Horn Island sits about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, uninhabited, no buildings, no fresh water, no service. On the holiday it's packed with boats until dark, and then every one of those boats turns back toward the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, but they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there in those missing hours. A friend has said he called the Coast Guard that night, and that Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. What isn't clear is why so much time passed between the moment Nolan was last seen and the moment anyone outside that group of friends knew he was missing. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play, a line that landed before the public had any real answers to weigh it against. His cause and manner of death haven't been released. Some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what actually happened on that island. Attorney Ben Crump is now running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says the case is headed to a grand jury. Thirteen hours is a long time to be missing on an island with no way to call for help. It's an even longer time for a mother to wait for answers she still doesn't have. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are ninety minutes in the Nolan Wells timeline that nobody has ever fully explained, and they sit right at the center of everything. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The timeline itself is mostly machine-logged and undisputed. A boat left a dock outside Ocean Springs at 9:56 on the morning of the Fourth of July. The group reached Horn Island by 11:14. The boat left the island at 4:31 that afternoon, passed Fort Bayou near 5:52, reached a dock at 6:06, and was pulled from the water at a launch by 7:19 before heading overland to Biloxi. Between those clean, logged numbers sits the gap. Nolan was last seen on the island around three in the afternoon. Around four, the boat's operator called a towing company to report the boat was taking on water. Investigators haven't publicly explained those ninety minutes. Neither have the friends who were out there. Neither has the family's own legal team. A National Park Service ranger recovered Nolan's body at 8:45 Monday morning off the island's northwestern tip, in the exact patch of water that had turned up nothing during a search the day before. There's a phone left on the dashboard with two competing explanations, an empty photo roll with two competing explanations, and a video that circulated widely with two competing accounts of how it surfaced. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had his phone after he was left behind, and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. No agency has released a cause or manner of death. Ninety minutes is a long stretch of ocean to leave unaccounted for. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Somebody on that boat trip knows more than they're saying about what happened to Nolan Wells, and some of them are reportedly too scared to say it. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats and coolers until the sun goes down and everyone heads for the mainland. His friends made it back. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later. Roughly thirteen hours passed before help was actually requested. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, and they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there. A friend reportedly called the Coast Guard that night, and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play. His cause and manner of death still haven't been released. Tony sits down with Robin Dreeke to break down what it actually means when witnesses go quiet in a case like this, what a "no foul play" statement does and doesn't prove, and why silence from the people who were physically there is its own kind of evidence. Attorney Ben Crump is running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says this is heading to a grand jury. Some witnesses have talked to investigators. Others reportedly haven't said much at all, and the family wants to know why. Fear doesn't mean guilt. But it doesn't mean nothing, either. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Search crews covered a patch of water off Horn Island on Sunday and found nothing. A ranger went back Monday morning and found Nolan Wells. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. He was last seen on the island around three in the afternoon on the Fourth of July. About ninety minutes later, the boat's operator called a towing company to report the boat was taking on water. The boat left the island at 4:31, and a National Park Service ranger recovered Nolan's body at 8:45 the next morning, off the island's northwestern tip, in the same general area searched the day before. Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to walk through what that gap between the two searches actually means, and what it doesn't. Currents, timing, visibility, and search patterns can all explain a miss like that. So can other things. Neither of them is claiming to know which one this is. They also dig into the parts of this case that still don't line up: a phone left on the dashboard with two competing explanations, an empty photo roll with two competing explanations, and a video that circulated widely with two competing accounts of how it got out. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had control of his phone after he was left behind, and that messages had already been deleted by the time the family got it back. No agency has released a cause or manner of death. The family has arranged its own independent examination in Washington, D.C., separate from the one done by the state, and District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath says the case is heading to a grand jury once the investigation is complete. Where a body is found, and when, tells its own part of the story. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send us Fan MailWhen the National Park Service added hydrogen peroxide to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the internet immediately decided it had found the culprit behind the peeling coating.But science doesn't work that way.In this episode, Rudy Stankowitz takes a research-first approach to one of the most discussed pool stories of the year. Instead of asking whether hydrogen peroxide caused a coating failure, he asks a different question:Why was hydrogen peroxide chosen in the first place?Drawing from published scientific literature on cyanobacteria, harmful algal blooms, microbiology, biofilms, and water treatment, Rudy explores how hydrogen peroxide affects microorganisms, why mature biofilms are so difficult to eliminate, and why swimming pool professionals may need to rethink the way they've approached "black algae" for decades.This isn't a product pitch.It isn't a treatment recommendation.And it certainly isn't clickbait.It's an evidence-based discussion designed to separate what science has demonstrated from what still remains a hypothesis.The episode also introduces the first part of Rudy's proposed research protocol—a hypothesis assembled from published mechanisms that has not been validated in controlled swimming pool research—and explains exactly where established science ends and new investigation begins.If you're tired of opinions masquerading as facts, this episode is for you.In This EpisodeWhy the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was treated with hydrogen peroxideWhy concentration matters more than percentageCorrelation versus causation in coating failuresWhat published research says about hydrogen peroxide and cyanobacterial bloomsThe difference between free-floating algae and mature cyanobacterial biofilmsHow extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) protect biofilmsWhy oxidants often struggle against established biofilmsThe biology behind oxidative stressPhotosystem II, lipid peroxidation, and cellular damage explainedWhy mature biofilms deserve to be studied separatelyWhy Rudy believes better questions lead to better scienceThe first step in a proposed research protocol using aluminum sulfateWhy coagulation and physical removal may reduce oxidant demand before disinfectionWhere the published literature ends—and where hypothesis generation beginsKey TakeawayScience advances by asking better questions—not by rushing to conclusions.This episode doesn't claim to have solved black algae. It challenges listeners to examine what the published research actually supports, recognize the limits of current knowledge, and think critically about where future swimming pool research should go.SponsorsSpecial thanks to the companies that support education and the advancement of the swimming pool industry:Blu-ray XLUnited ChemicalLaMotte CompanyRevved Up ApparelAqua Comfort Water GroupAquaStar Pool ProductsJack's Magic ProductsService Industry NewsConnect with Talking Pools

A Mississippi teenager who never came off an island, and a Massachusetts mother about to face a jury. Two cases. One mailbag.Nolan Wells was eighteen, a college wide receiver, out at Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is uninhabited, roughly ten miles offshore, with no shelter and no reliable signal. The boats went home. He wasn't on one. A National Park Service ranger recovered him from the water two mornings later. Two examinations of him exist and neither has been released. Cause and manner of death are undetermined. Ben Crump is investigating for the family and the district attorney has said the case is headed to a grand jury.Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and psychotic. Prosecutors have countered by pointing to other mothers who got just as sick and did something else. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. She has never given police a statement.Tony Brueski works through all of it: the boat, the island, the two autopsies, the grand jury, the medication lists, the eighteen jurors, and the question of who is speaking for three children in a Plymouth County courtroom.The mail on the Wells half goes at the boat, the island, and what charges look like when nobody will say how somebody died. The Clancy half comes from mothers who had intrusive thoughts and never told a soul, and people asking whether any ending in Plymouth County could honestly be called justice.Both cases.

Live, Tony Brueski takes the full mailbag on two cases — Nolan Wells in Mississippi and Lindsay Clancy in Massachusetts.Nolan Wells, eighteen, rode out to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is undeveloped, about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with no shelter, no fresh water, and no reliable way to call anybody. The boats went home without him. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water two days later. There are two examinations of him and neither has been released. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined. Attorney Ben Crump is running an independent investigation and the district attorney has said the case will go to a grand jury.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children — Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan — at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Her attorney argues she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated and experiencing postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors have pointed to other mothers who lived through the same condition without harming their children. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy, who publicly forgave his wife, is a defense witness. She has never given law enforcement a statement.The questions on the table: why a boat left an island with a kid still on it, what happens if two autopsies conflict, whether a grand jury can charge anybody, what a jury does when the only person who knows what happened has never spoken, and whether any ending in that Plymouth County courtroom could honestly be called justice.Both cases.

An eighteen-year-old college athlete named Nolan Wells took a boat to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Every one of those friends made it back to the mainland. He was found in the water off the island two mornings later by a National Park Service ranger.The mail on this case has almost nothing to do with the forensic questions dominating national coverage. It's about a decision. Somebody started an engine. Somebody untied a line. Somebody looked at an empty seat and went home anyway.Tony Brueski reads those messages and works through what makes them so hard to shake — starting with what Horn Island actually is. Not a resort island. Not a town. An undeveloped barrier island roughly ten miles offshore with no shelter, no fresh water, and no dependable way to reach anybody. Beautiful in daylight. Completely unforgiving after dark.The questions in this mailbag come down to what the friends have said and what they've avoided saying. Whether anyone thought he was on a different boat, and whether anyone checked. How a person survives a night out there with nothing.Per the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, a friend contacted the Coast Guard late that night and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, contacted the sheriff's office shortly afterward. Officials have said they believe he drowned and do not suspect foul play, while also saying the work of determining exactly what happened continues.Cause and manner of death have not been released. Ben Crump is investigating independently for the family. The district attorney has said a grand jury will see it.Everything in this case starts on that island.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it.Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no drinking water, no store, no cell tower. For one day a year it's the best party on the coast. Every other hour of the year it's empty, and after dark on the Fourth it goes right back to empty.Nolan Wells was a college wide receiver, eighteen years old, out there with kids he grew up with. They came home. He was found in the water two days later by a National Park Service ranger, off the island's northwestern tip.Tony reads the mailbag straight. Nobody wrote in asking about tide charts. They wrote in asking how you get on a boat and look at an empty seat and pull away from the dock. They wrote in asking whether anybody counted. They wrote in asking what that island offers a person who's still on it at midnight, alone, with no way to call anyone.The sheriff's office has said a friend reached the Coast Guard that night and that Nolan's mother called the sheriff's office soon after. Officials have said they believe he drowned while simultaneously insisting the work to determine what actually occurred is ongoing.No cause of death has been released. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. A grand jury is coming.The island first. Then everything else.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When her father accepted a position with the National Park Service, the family moved into a historic home deep in the Pennsylvania woods. It was quiet, beautiful, and seemed like the perfect place to live.Before long, she found herself waking to the sound of footsteps outside her bedroom. She never questioned them. Surely it was one of her parents or her younger brother heading to the bathroom.Then, over time, other family members began reporting strange experiences of their own.None of them claimed the house was haunted. But for the first time, she found herself asking a question she'd never considered before: What if those footsteps hadn't belonged to her family after all?#HauntedHouse #HistoricHome #GhostFootsteps #Paranormal #RealGhostStories #NationalPark #HauntedHistory #GhostStory #UnexplainedMysteries #PhantomFootsteps #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStories #Supernatural #HauntedHallway #PennsylvaniaGhostsLove real ghost stories?

Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells went to Horn Island, Mississippi, for the Fourth of July with a group of friends. He never made it home. He was last seen talking to a girl on the north end of the island around three in the afternoon. His friends' boat left the island an hour and a half later — without him. The explanation on record is that the boat was taking on water, which is the detail that keeps getting picked apart online and in this episode. Boats near shore, on a holiday weekend, with patrols on the water and life jackets required — leaving someone behind for that reason is not the obvious call it's being presented as. Two days later, following a search by the Coast Guard, the National Park Service, and Jackson County authorities, a park ranger found Nolan's body almost exactly where he'd last been seen. Reports say alcohol and drugs have been ruled out. His friend group has remained close to his mother throughout. And there's one more detail that matters — Nolan left his phone with her before he ever set foot on that island, which says plenty about the kind of son he was. His family has since hired a civil rights attorney, and the questions haven't stopped: about the boat, about who made the call to leave, about whether the story investigators have on record actually adds up. We lay out the full timeline and the pieces still missing from it. New episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
