Vanished Cases

OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT

Vanished Cases — true crime stories for listeners who can't let go of a case. A true crime podcast by OBOMEDIA, built on real events. Open the crime files with us. Each episode follows the crime investigation from the first call to the trial — how investigators build a murder case, where a police investigation goes cold, and what justice looks like when it arrives late, or never arrives at all. Some episodes hunt a serial killer who hid in plain sight. Others reconstruct a family murder that tore a town apart, or a murder mystery that turned neighbors against each other. And then there are the missing: a missing person report filed too late; missing persons whose trails went cold within days; a missing woman last seen leaving work; a missing girl whose face was on every screen in the country; a missing man found dead years after he vanished; the missing and murdered whose names deserve to be remembered. We tell every crime story with respect for the victim, for the families, and for those who survived. From the infamous case the whole world watched to the unsolved case you have never heard of, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime, our true crime reports bring you real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries — one true crime case at a time, straight from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault. Because if a killer is still out there, the story is not over. Every true crime story in our archive begins with a question no one could answer: an unsolved murder, a cold case reopened decades later, a mysterious death the coroner couldn't explain, a disappearance that never made sense. New episodes every week. Listen ad-free and unlock premium episodes: 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology. All rights reserved.

    The Smell That Hid a Killer for Fourteen Years

    The Smell That Hid a Killer for Fourteen Years For fourteen years, a distinct, moldy smell was the only clue linking dozens of attacks on the small island of Jersey. This chilling detail, remembered by every survivor, belonged to a man with a wife and neighbors who never suspected a thing. How did a local man terrorize an entire community for over a decade, leaving behind only a scent and a trail of fear? In this episode, we delve into the terrifying case of the Beast of Jersey, exploring how a seemingly ordinary resident meticulously planned his attacks, the precise pattern he followed, and the critical details that eventually led to his capture. We uncover the story of his first victim, a nurse whose survival provided the initial clues, and how the community's close-knit nature became the perfect cover for a predator. Case: The Beast of Jersey Period: 1957-1971 Location: Jersey, English Channel First Victim: 29-year-old nurse First Attack Location: Mont de la Ville, Saint Helier - The attacker used a rope, wore a disguise, and selected targets through careful study. - Victims consistently reported an Irish accent, a soft voice, and a distinct damp, moldy smell. - The attacks followed a precise pattern, often involving the mention of a lost cigarette or lighter. - In 1960, the attacks escalated to include a child taken from his bedroom in Grand Box. - An attempted abduction in Saint Helier in 1960 involved a man posing as a doctor driving a Morris automobile.

Lisa Guy, a relentlessly reliable accounts payable administrator, had vanished, and her silence was an alarm.
