    Episode 50: Where is Gary?

    After recently recording an episode about a person who has disappeared, I realized during the interview, I have someone in my life that vanished. I give details about my friend Gary Brent Carlile who I have know for over 30 years. A few years ago, his phone number no longer worked and I have not heard from him since. I walk through the history of our friendship and strange events that took place over the decades. My hope is that someone listening to this episode can provide me details where Gary is.

    Episode 49: Paul Batson Disappeared and is Still Missing

    In this episode, Carl King and I delve into the mysterious case of Paul Batson, a man Carl worked with at a post office outside of Chicago. Paul took a trip one day—and simply never came back. His truck and phone were discovered in Montana, but he vanished without a trace, and he remains missing to this day. Did Paul decide to escape the world and disappear into the Montana wilderness, or is foul play involved, and was his disappearance not his choice? If he's still alive, is he in contact with his children? We explore these questions and more in my latest episode.
