On May 17, 1968, in Scott County, Kentucky, a man stumbled upon a tarp he thought he could salvage—only to find a woman whose identity would remain a mystery for nearly three decades. Who was she? How did she come to be left alone in that field? And what details were missed that might have connected her to her family sooner? In this episode, we explore the extraordinary path that led from an unmarked grave to the truth: the woman the world knew as “Tent Girl” was Barbara Ann Hackmann. How did her case inspire a determined young man to launch one of the earliest online sleuthing movements? What did her family learn once her identity was restored? And what legacy did her case leave for thousands of other unidentified victims? Tune in to uncover the full story.

Often considered “The Strangest Missing Person’s Case in Europe,” this week we explore the case of Juan Pedro Martinez-- a boy who vanished under bizarre circumstances. A grandmother’s concern led to a full-scale investigation into a missing 10-year-old boy whose parents had just been involved in a deadly, and inexplicable, accident. In a case that involves corrosive acid, drug trafficking rumors, extra-terrestrial-looking strangers, and kidnapping speculations, truth is as elusive as information concerning young Juan Pedro’s fate.  Please consider supporting the pod by joining us over on our Patreon page!

For thirteen months from 1966 to 1967, a creature (or creatures) terrorized several small communities across Ohio and West Virginia, particularly the West Virginia town of Point Pleasant. The stories that come from witnesses to the phenomena are the stuff of nightmares, so much so that they were later made into a hit film. Was this all just a big media storm and all hogwash? Some say it was another example of mass hysteria, of people buying into a myth.  Do you agree? Or will you even allow yourself to believe even a small portion of the stories to be true? Listen to our coverage to hear the history, the headlines, and the horror surrounding the Mothman.
