  1. Episode 1

    The Voicemail

    A desperate message from an estranged ex pulls podcaster Jordan Purcell and his producer Lynn McCready into the five-year-old disappearance of teenager Kiyoki ("Ki") Lawrence. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: Ki's family (and the community) don't want her found. Jordan Purcell is an award-winning filmmaker, hard-hitting documentarian, and most recently... a podcaster. Born in Missouri and raised in Wisconsin (yes, the accent’s real), Jordan has built his career around amplifying the voices of the underrepresented and digging into the stories most people overlook. With a camera in one hand and a notebook in the other, he seeks out truth and justice. A proud graduate of Columbia College, Jordan now calls Pasadena, CA home (though he’ll never give up his Midwestern love of cheese curds and the Milwaukee Brewers). Whether it’s film, audio, or whatever medium comes next, Jordan is driven by one mission: tell stories that matter. Lynn McCready is a seasoned producer whose sharp instincts and steady hand have helped bring some of the most impactful stories in Jordan Purcell’s filmography to life. Originally from Maine, Lynn has built a career behind the scenes championing stories that center community, resilience, and social justice. From intimate documentaries to narrative short films, Lynn’s producing style blends logistical precision with a deep respect for the people and places at the heart of each story. Now partnering with Jordan on their latest venture into podcasting (The Unsolved), she continues to ensure every aspect of it is as thoughtfully crafted as it is powerfully told.
