On the night of July 4th, 27-year-old Natalie Jones leaves a lakeside party in her hot-pink Chevy and simply vanishes sparking a frantic search, a storm of online theories, and a haunting question: what really happened on her drive home?If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, confidential help is available 24/7 through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or https://www.thehotline.org/ This podcast is hosted by Sean Kipe.Website: https://seankipe.comInstagram: @seankipeofficialEmail: [email protected] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Twenty-seven-year-old Natalie Jones vanished after a July 4th lake party in Alabama in 2020. Ninety-three days later, her car and her remains were found in a rural Georgia field. No arrest. No clear answer. No closure for the family left behind. The official theory was an accidental overdose. But a negative toxicology report, a drug baggie with no fingerprints, and a phone that never left Natalie's hand — one that’s still missing — tell a different story. Shortly before her death, Natalie had begun speaking out about the men in her life: a bitter ex-husband, an alleged childhood abuser, a lover tied to drug trafficking. Host Sean Kipe investigates what happened to Natalie Jones. Was it an overdose? An accident? Or something the people closest to her have been protecting for years?   If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, confidential help is available 24/7 through the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or https://www.thehotline.org/   This podcast is hosted by Sean Kipe.

It was 1985, the so-called “Year of the Spy”. The CIA had been losing Soviet assets left and right; the first loss seemed like bad luck, but four in a row? That wasn't a coincidence— it was a deadly leak. And just as the Agency was scrambling to find answers, across the world, a KGB colonel named Vitaly Yurchenko walked into the American embassy in Rome and volunteered his services in exchange for immediate exfiltration to the United States.At the time, Yurchenko was the highest-ranked KGB officer ever to defect to America, and the Agency felt it had hit the jackpot. Instead, his defection would go on to become one of the most dizzying, high-stakes espionage debacles of the last century. Although many of his bombshell revelations were bonafide, a doubt soon began haunting the intelligence community: Was Vitaly Yurchenko telling the whole truth? And if not... What had he been sent to hide?Listen Now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
