    Fractured (Teaser)

    In January 1981, two bodies were discovered in the brush along a Texas backroad. A man, bound and beaten. A woman, strangled. They had no names, no IDs, and were buried as John and Jane Doe. At the same time, hundreds of miles away, a young husband and wife suddenly stopped writing home. Their families heard nothing — until strangers in white robes appeared, returning the couple’s car under bizarre circumstances. Their newborn daughter was nowhere to be found. And then… silence. For decades, these stories seemed like separate mysteries. A nameless murder in Texas. A missing family across the country. A vanished baby. But forty years later, forensic science uncovered the shocking truth: all three were connected, and their convergence reveals one of the most complex and heartbreaking conclusions in true-crime history.

  6. The Last Word… The Disappearance of Brandon Swanson

    The Last Word… The Disappearance of Brandon Swanson

    In May of 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson vanished after calling his parents after he drove his car into a ditch in the middle of the night. What followed was a 47-minute phone conversation filled with reassurance, confusion, and ultimately, a chilling final exclamation—“Oh, shit”—before the line went silent forever. In this episode of They Disappeared, we retrace Brandon’s final known moments and the labyrinth of unknowns that followed. From rural gravel roads to a scent trail that led to—and beyond—a river, we explore the theories that continue to circle his case: accident, foul play, misjudged location, or something far more complex. We also examine the evolving investigative tools that could finally bring clarity to the mystery, including drone imaging, forensic genetic genealogy, and underwater sonar mapping. And we reflect on the legacy Brandon left behind—not just in memory, but in law—with the passing of "Brandon's Law," which forever changed how missing adults are treated in Minnesota. This is more than a case. It’s a moment suspended in time. A call unanswered. A question still echoing through the fields of southwestern Minnesota. What happened to Brandon Swanson? Listen now to The Last Word—an episode that refuses to let silence be the final answer.
