Jim and Lauren dive into the late-80s Sears exclusive Disney World Town Square replica - the ambitious “starter set” that promised Main Street magic at home just as Disney Stores began popping up in malls nationwide. Lauren's Valentine's gift to Eric sparks a deep dive into one of the most fascinating Disney retail experiments of the 1980s: the Sears-exclusive Walt Disney World Town Square replica. Jim explains how this surprisingly elaborate playset - complete with bendable Mickey and Minnie figures and optional upgrades like working streetlights and a smoking train - was born out of a major licensing deal between Sears and The Walt Disney Company. But when the first Disney Store locations began opening in malls, that partnership quickly unraveled.

Send a textA car left in the Sears upper lot. Christmas gifts still inside. A letter to “Thomas” that Rachel likely never wrote. Nearly five decades after the Fort Worth Trio vanished from a Texas shopping center, we return to the heart of the mystery and scrutinize the few artifacts that have ever mattered: the Oldsmobile, the layaway jeans, a handful of shaky eyewitness accounts, and a baffling note that arrived almost too fast for 1974 holiday mail.We walk step by step through the known timeline—Rachel, Renee, and Julie shopping on December 23rd—then trace the details that undercut the “runaway” narrative. The gifts weren't opened. The keys were left behind. Promises to be home by two were never casual. From there, we turn to the letter: addressed to “Thomas” instead of “Tommy,” penned with language that family says doesn't sound like Rachel, bearing a debated postmark and a misspelling awkwardly corrected. Handwriting reviews never bring certainty; modern opinions suggest none of the girls wrote it. So why write it—and why so quickly—unless the goal was to distract, delay, and misdirect?We balance two competing frameworks. On one side: the local context of the 1970s and 1980s—multiple unsolved disappearances, confirmed serial predators, open land where evidence disappears, and the grim reality that stranger-on-stranger crimes are hardest to solve. On the other: the intimate signals around Rachel—household tensions, the letter's personal address, and the question of whether someone close would risk acting when two other girls were with her. Could one person control three victims in daylight, or does this scenario demand at least two offenders—or a trusted face that lowered every guard?Along the way, we surface a haunting footnote: a private investigator who later died by suicide and ordered his case files destroyed. Whether that choice reflects despair, fear, or protection, it pulls potential clues out of reach and leaves the car, the purchases, and the letter to carry the investigative weight. If the note is a map, it points to someone close. If it's a smokescreen, it favors a predator in motion.If this case grips you as deeply as it grips us, share the episode with a friend, hit follow, and leave a review with your theory—does the letter expose the culprit, or hide them in plain sight?www.texaswineandtruecrime.com

"FREEDOM IS SOUL WORK"-Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk

The message was delivered on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk, Program Minister. Description: What happens when a premature infant stops breathing and a world-renowned doctor declares he sees a "wise soul"? This moment sparked a 25-year contemplation on what the soul truly is—not something to be saved or damned, but our creative energy, our meaning-making force, our freedom itself. In 1932, creditors raided Gee's Bend, Alabama, seizing everything from one of America's most impoverished Black communities. Yet the women there transformed worn clothes and flour sacks into bold, geometrical quilts that warmed their homes and sustained their spirits. When Martin Luther King Jr. arrived in 1965 to find zero registered Black voters in a county that was 80% African American, these same women—hands trained at creating beauty from scraps—marched to the courthouse through tear gas and smoke bombs. Their quilts later appeared in the Sears catalog, in museums nationwide, and two mules from Gee's Bend pulled King's casket in 1968.The women had founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, turning their art into fuel for the civil rights movement. They proved a fierce truth: authorities can close the ferry, block the courthouse, make the road longer and harder—but they cannot stop hands and hearts from creating something beautiful and meaningful. Mary Oliver asked if the soul is solid like iron or tender like a moth. Perhaps it's both—tender and strong as hands that stitch something new. In times when freedoms we thought enshrined are disappearing, when the temptation is to shut down and go numb, the question becomes urgent: How is it with your soul? What are you making?

With special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review an IPA from Cape May Brewing, then discuss the homogenization of culture, and how everything is starting to look the same. It's to the point where you're in a town three states away but you see the same stores, the same products on the shelves. Where's the local stuff? The boys discuss the history of this phenomenon, starting with the railroads and the Sears catalog, and moving on to the standardization of building materials and the expansion of chain stores. Some of this is good and logical, but sometimes you want to feel like you're in the South, or the West, or ... something different. A world of identical strip malls teaches us * Every place is replaceable* Nothing is sacred* Everything is for sale* History doesn't matter* Roots are optionalLocal culture anchors people psychologically and morally.

This piece features his standalone songs as well as music from our original musicals, The Calling Hour and Meshugeneh, the Musical. The Old Show had already been written, and we were on the verge of workshopping it when Avi received the Tdap vaccine and suffered a catastrophic reaction.I won't go further into the details here—you know the story does not end well.With The Music Stopped on Valentine's Day, I hope you will come to know what happened to an extraordinarily talented, humble, and deeply intelligent man—one who was often misunderstood because of his unique nervous system, which placed him on the autism spectrum. It will be three years this Valentine's Day that Avi passed.

On the surface it's a straightforward story. Here in South Florida, somebody took 6-year-old Adam Walsh from the toy department of his neighborhood Sears, where his mother said she'd left him alone for just a few minutes because he'd wanted to play at the video games display while she shopped. Store cameras would have solved this – except it was 1981 and stores didn't yet have them.After two weeks of a huge, unprecedented police and community search, and with the story in the local news every day, men fishing 125 miles upstate in an orange grove canal saw something floating they thought was a doll's head. It was a child's head.Just the head.Cops arriving on the scene figured it was Adam. A DNA comparison with his parents would have been definitive – but this was years before forensic DNA was in use. Fingerprints – there was only a head, no other body part was ever found. A visual ID by his parents – they could have made one, but they sent someone else to go to the morgue. Adam's dental records – while his parents and the news media waited, that was how the ID was done, by a medical examiner who compared them to the found child's teeth. Yes, he declared, it was Adam.Adam's image in his last photograph became the raison d'etre for the Walsh parents, who told their heart-wrenching story in interviews with newspapers and on TV talk shows; in testimony to Congress to urge the enactment of new laws to help find missing children, then at a signing ceremony at the White House Rose Garden; and in two made-for-television movies and a best-selling book.

If you listened to Tuesday's episode covering the cold hard facts of the Ottis Toole case, you know the basics. His horrific childhood in Jacksonville's Springfield neighborhood. His partnership with Henry Lee Lucas. His six confirmed murder convictions. His confessions to the Adam Walsh killing. But the basics only scratch the surface of one of the most mishandled investigations in American criminal history.This episode of The Redacted Report digs into the dark corners that mainstream coverage leaves out. We expose the Jacksonville detective who was removed from the case after allegedly feeding Toole information about the Walsh murder in exchange for a promised book deal. We examine the controversial Luminol photograph that a retired detective claims shows Adam Walsh's face etched in blood on Toole's car floorboard, and why critics say the image was manipulated to show something that was never really there.We reveal the disturbing 1988 letter Toole sent to John and Revé Walsh demanding five thousand dollars in exchange for telling them where their son's body was buried. We play excerpts from the recorded prison phone calls between Toole and Lucas where the two killers casually discussed cannibalism and compared notes on their crimes. We revisit the seventeen-year-old Sears security guard whose decision to kick a group of children out of the store may have placed six-year-old Adam Walsh directly in the path of a predator.We also investigate the Jeffrey Dahmer connection that the Hollywood Police Department never adequately addressed. Two credible eyewitnesses independently identified Dahmer as a man they saw at the Hollywood Mall the same day Adam disappeared. Dahmer was living in South Florida at the time and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. When FBI Agent Neil Purtell interviewed Dahmer about the case, Dahmer's response haunted him for years.This episode examines why the case was closed using an exceptional clearance rather than an actual prosecution, what that administrative maneuver really means, and why Police Chief Chad Wagner admitted at the press conference that the magic wand piece of evidence simply does not exist.We discuss the other suspect nobody remembers, a man named Edward James who reportedly confessed to a cellmate and had new seat covers installed in his car weeks after the murder.The Ottis Toole case is a study in tunnel vision, lost evidence, competing agendas, and a justice system more interested in closing files than finding truth.

Carter to dismantle the "command and control" ghosts of corporate past and reveal the blueprint for a workplace where people actually want to show up. Drawing from his transformative leadership at iconic brands like Patagonia, Airbnb, and even a "sinking" Sears, Carter explains why the secret to a thriving organization isn't found in a ping-pong table or a snack bar, but in the radical act of designing work with people rather than for them. Whether you are leading a team of ten or ten thousand, this conversation serves as a masterclass on how to bridge the growing trust gap between CEOs and employees by injecting wisdom, wonder, and wit back into the professional experience.

In what turned out to be one of the more unhinged episodes of the Camerosity Podcast, for Episode 103 the gang didn't get the show announcement out until the day of the recording, but that resulted in a near record number of participants, and without a dedicated topic to discuss, we ran the gamut of topics from Theo's recent acquisition of a local lab's Fuji Frontier Scanner, to a very lively discussion about radioactive lenses and why you should not grind up lens glass and snort it. Joining Anthony, Paul, Stephen, Theo, and Mike on this episode were A.J. Gentile, Dan Cuny, Doug Doyle, Fernando Villava, Greg McCreash, Ira Cohen, Jeremy Scott, Mario Piper, Norris Liu, Pat Casey, Ron Gee, Vlad Kern, Will Pinkham, plus a few others who didn't say anything. The show starts off with Theo telling the tale of how a Frontier scanner is coming to him and that turned into a very lively discussion about all scanning options from using professional scanners, flatbed scanners, and then eventually to digitizing with a digital camera. Returning guest Dan Cuny shares some vintage digital cameras he's been working on reviews for including the 0.3 megapixel Canon PowerShot 350 and the floppy disc Sony Mavica!  Continuing on the vintage digital discussion was the revelation that three of the five Camerosity hosts all have the 1990s Minolta RD-175 DSLR! Vlad Kern from ussrphoto.com comes on and shares his recent pickup of a spy camera from a shot down Russian drone found in Ukraine which he recently acquired.  Vlad's crazy spy camera looks straight out of a science fiction movie and the hosts wonder how he managed to get that past European and American customs! Of course, we get into a bit of GAS including a follow up to Episode 102 where Ron Gee had ordered an Aero-Liberator camera from John Minnicks, Ron came back to talk about receiving the camera and his initial impressions of it.  Other cameras discussed are the Tele and Wide Rolleiflexes, a rare Foth TLR, the 16mm KMZ Narciss SLR, a very strange and rare American camera called the Millfred Cand-O-Matic and I give an update on some leather I purchased for a Leica IIIa that needed to be recovered. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida. Two weeks later, fishermen discovered his severed head in a drainage canal near Vero Beach. His body was never found. This case would transform America's approach to missing children forever, but the question of who actually killed Adam Walsh remains deeply contested to this day. In this episode of The Redacted Report, we go beyond the official narrative to explore the details that rarely make it into documentaries and news specials. We examine the seventeen-year-old security guard whose fateful decision to remove rowdy kids from the store left Adam alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar parking lot. We dig into the explosive allegations that emerged during the Sears lawsuit, including claims made under oath by Adam's godfather Jimmy Campbell about a four-year affair with Revé Walsh and the family's alleged drug use. We trace the bizarre confession carousel of convicted serial killer Ottis Toole, who admitted to the murder dozens of times only to recant repeatedly, and whose partner Henry Lee Lucas was proven to be in a Maryland jail cell on the day of the abduction. We also investigate the controversial Jeffrey Dahmer theory championed by journalist Arthur Jay Harris and witnesses Willis Morgan and Bill Bowen, who independently identified Dahmer as the suspicious man they saw at the Hollywood Mall that day. Dahmer was living in Miami Beach at the time, working at Sunshine Subs just twenty minutes from where Adam disappeared, and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. Former FBI agent Neil Purtell, who interviewed Dahmer in prison, believes the serial killer's cryptic statement that "anyone who killed Adam Walsh could not live in any prison, ever" was essentially a coded admission of guilt. We examine the catastrophic failures of the Hollywood Police Department, including the lost bloodstained carpet from Toole's Cadillac, the missing machete, and the destroyed vehicle that might have provided the DNA evidence needed for a conviction.We question the controversial Luminol photograph that retired detective Joe Matthews compared to the Shroud of Turin, which critics dismiss as forensic pareidolia. And we explore how Police Chief Chad Wagner's 2008 decision to close the case through "exceptional clearance" satisfied the Walsh family but left many investigators and witnesses unconvinced.Through it all, we trace Adam's extraordinary legacy, from the Missing Children Act of 1982 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to America's Most Wanted to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. John Walsh transformed unimaginable grief into systemic change that has protected millions of children and led to the capture of over twelve hundred fugitives.This is the Adam Walsh case as you've never heard it before. The official story says Ottis Toole was the killer. The evidence says something far more complicated.

On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears department store in Hollywood, Florida, and America was never the same. This episode of The Guilty Files Podcast examines one of the most infamous child abduction cases in American history, tracing every devastating detail from that summer afternoon at the Hollywood Mall to the sixteen-year investigation that would ultimately point to drifter and serial killer Ottis Toole.We explore the catastrophic failures in evidence handling that allowed a prime suspect to escape justice for decades, the heartbreaking discovery along the Florida Turnpike that confirmed every parent's worst nightmare, and the unprecedented transformation of a grieving father into America's most relentless victims' rights advocate.John Walsh channeled unimaginable loss into a crusade that created America's Most Wanted, helped establish the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and fundamentally changed how law enforcement responds to missing children cases across the United States.This true crime deep dive covers the investigation, the confessions, the controversies, and the lasting legacy of legislation born from tragedy, including the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act and the nationwide AMBER Alert system. From cold case breakthroughs to the modern fight against child predators, Adam's story remains a defining moment in American criminal justice history. Contains detailed discussion of child abduction, homicide investigation, and serial killer psychology.
