MINI006: They Just Vanished: 4 Disappearances That Make No Sense

Four people. Four vanishings. No clear answers. In this episode of Dead Ends, we look at four deeply unsettling disappearance cases that still leave huge questions behind: the Sodder Children, Brian Shaffer, Brandon Swanson, and Danny Filippidis. From children who disappeared during a house fire, to a man who walked out of a bar and was never seen again, to a student who vanished after a late-night phone call, to a skier who somehow reappeared thousands of miles away — these are cases where the trail goes cold fast. We break down the facts, the timelines, the strange details, and the theories people still argue about today. Cases covered: 6:28 Danny Filippidis 18:38 Brandon Swanson 31:34 The Sodder Children 49:24 Brian Shaffer This podcast contains discussions of crime, distressing events, and disturbing themes.

DE014: Marliz Spannhake and Colleen Stan, An Aura of Foreboding

In this episode, we dive into one of Unsolved Mysteries’ most unsettling cases — The Ghost in Apartment 14. What starts as a seemingly classic haunting quickly spirals into something far more disturbing, blurring the line between paranormal fear and real-world danger. A woman moves into Apartment 14 hoping for a fresh start, but almost immediately begins experiencing strange and escalating disturbances. Unexplained noises, objects moving, and unusual smells give way to physical paranormal events. When friends and family witness unusual activity for themselves, the case takes a darker turn. As investigators dig into the apartment’s past, a violent crime connected to the unit is uncovered — the kidnapping and murder of Marie Elizabeth Spannhake and also, the kidnapping and escape of Colleen Stan. We break down the timeline of events, discuss the leading theories and the most important question: why is Marie Elizabeth Spannhake’s case still unsolved? What We Cover: The reported haunting of Apartment 14 - escalating disturbances and unexplained injuries Witness accounts from friends and family The apartment’s violent history - the disappearance of Marie Elizabeth Spennhake The kidnapping and escape of Colleen Stan Why this case remains unsolved ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of violence, physical & sexual assault, kidnapping, murder and references to cults. Listener discretion is advised. Join the Conversation: What case from this year stayed with you the most? And which survival story inspired you? We’d love to hear from you.

DE013: End of Year Special, Survivors and Second Chances

As we close out the year, we’re stepping away from a single case and opening the files on Dead Ends itself. This Christmas special is a looser, more reflective episode — a chance to look back at the stories that stayed with us, the moments that shocked us, and the cases we still can’t stop thinking about. We revisit some of the most memorable investigations we’ve covered this year, share our favourite moments behind the scenes, and reflect on how researching these cases has changed the way we see true crime. But this episode isn’t just about endings. To balance the darkness, we also shine a light on something we don’t talk about often enough — the people who survived. We explore powerful stories of near misses, quick thinking, and sheer resilience — cases where victims escaped, fought back, or trusted their instincts and lived to tell the story. It’s a reminder that while many trails go cold, not all stories end in tragedy. What We Cover: A recap of the cases we covered this year The moments that shocked, frustrated, or stayed with us the longest Behind-the-scenes reflections and unexpected discoveries Listener interactions and the impact of the community Stories of victims who escaped attempted murder Why survival stories matter in true crime ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of violent crime and attempted murder. While some stories focus on survival, listener discretion is advised. 🎁 A Holiday Thank You Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting Dead Ends throughout the year. This episode marks the end of our season as we take a short two-week break — but we’ll be back in the new year with new cases, colder trails, and plenty more digging. Join the Conversation: What case from this year stayed with you the most? And which survival story inspired you? We’d love to hear from you.

Dead Ends: Where the trail goes cold... we keep digging

Our podcast is a deep-dive investigative series exploring some of the most haunting and complex true crime cases in modern history. With a focus on unsolved mysteries, questionable investigations, and media manipulation, we peel back the layers of official narratives to ask the uncomfortable questions others often avoid. We blend forensic analysis, historical context, and survivor perspectives with a critical yet compassionate approach — not for shock value, but to seek truth and accountability. From cruise ship disappearances to cold case cover-ups, we aim to illuminate the shadows where justice may have faltered.
