Starting in 1918 we discuss the 18th month string of attacks from an unknown perpetrator who terrorized New Orleans.

    Episode 81: Maine - The New Sweden Arsenic Poisoning

    The town of New Sweden, Maine is small. In 2003 it boasted a population of around 600 people, most of whom were immigrants, or descendants of immigrants from Sweden, hence the name. This small town sits near the tip top of Maine making it one of the northernmost towns in the continental US. It's rather unassuming and mostly unremarkable, that is until the morning of April 27th 2003. Join us on this episode of Are They There Yet where we cover the tale of the New Sweden Arsenic Poisoning, one of the largest mass poisonings ever recorded.

    Episode 80: Maryland - Margaret Fetterolf

    In 1976, the body of a young woman was discovered near a Maryland cemetery, wrapped in a sheet and surrounded by chilling clues—including a distinctive necklace, a bag over her head, and two mysterious keys. With ties to Massachusetts and a haunting lack of answers, she became known only as Woodlawn Jane Doe. Decades later, new forensic science breathes life into a case that went cold far too soon.

    Episode 78: Michigan - James Jesse Strang

    Strap in, Travelers—today’s story is one for the history books. We're diving into the wild, winding tale of James Jesse Strang: a 19th-century lawyer, would-be prophet, and unexpected political figure who led a breakaway Mormon sect with bold claims, strange visions, and even stranger decisions.

    Episode 77: Minnesota - Missing Person Brandon Swanson

    In May 2008, a college student in rural Minnesota called his parents for help after driving into a ditch. He was calm, clear-headed, and chatting with his dad while walking toward what he believed was the nearest town. Then, mid-conversation, Brandon Swanson suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, shit”—and was never heard from again. What followed is one of the most baffling and frustrating missing persons cases in recent history, raising questions about search efforts, rural landscapes, and how someone can vanish without a trace… even while on the phone. https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/comments/1hmvopc/brandon_lawsons_dna_has_confirmed_his_remains/ https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/the-vault/rural-roads-of-minnesota-remain-last-known-location-of-19-year-old-brandon-swanson-1 https://medium.com/the-shadow/vanished-in-the-dark-where-is-brandon-swanson-d5d99bfde9a7 https://kroc.com/brandon-swanson-minnesota-missing/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Brandon_Swanson https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/comments/1d5zq8v/disappearance_of_brandon_swanson/?rdt=61686 https://allthatsinteresting.com/history-uncovered/brandon-swanson https://discover.hubpages.com/politics/Missing-Since-2008-Brandon-Swanson
