Episode 76: Canada - Disappearance of Mekayla Bali
16-year-old Mekayla Bali was last seen on the afternoon of April 12, 2016, in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. That morning, she went to school as usual but left shortly after arriving. Before she vanished, she sent her friends cryptic messages, made calls to unknown recipients, and her movements through town were strange. She even returned to school briefly before taking off again. There’s no evidence that she met up with anyone or that she left town on a bus or by other means, so what happened to Mekayla Bali on that sunny spring afternoon?

Episode 73: USA - Murder of Heather Rich (Part 3)
Brianna got sick and had to take an unexpected hiatus, so, the new plan for October is an in-depth coverage of a true crime case with all 3 parts being released at once! We appreciate your patience and your loyal listenership, so we're making it up to you the best we can. Now, on with the show...
On October 2, 1996, in the small town of Waurika, Oklahoma, 16-year-old Heather Rich snuck out of her bedroom in the middle of the night to see a friend. She never returned home and for 7 agonizing days, her parents did everything they could to find their daughter.

Assuming a calf had slipped into the river upstream and drowned, he shot the body twice to sink it. The next morning, he realized the calf was still floating in the creek.

Customer Reviews
Throughly-researched
I just started listening to Dark Adaptations and think it one of the best-researched podcasts I have ever heard. I reluctantly listened to the “Mothman” episode, thinking the I’ve really heard it all about that topic. I was delighted to actually hear some new and interesting info. I appreciate the deep-dive and responsible story-telling. The Danielle Ballengee episode is one of the best things I’ve ever listened to. Keep up the good work!!
