    Some new information

    Some new information

    I didn’t ever think I would open up my laptop again and start writing another episode about Des, who disappeared 40 years ago. After we released episode 5 I was not hopeful anyone would come forward with new information. That was until Tuesday night the 4th of September when my phone pinged just before going to bed…..

Paid for NO ADVERTISEMENTS - Still have them

Paid for and have a subscription for NO ADS. Still hearing ads…This disrupts the listening experience.

Thanks for sharing about your Uncle

I came across this podcast, and I am glad I did. You made a beautiful and emotional story out of a very sad thing that happened. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. I am a little confused about the last episode. Is there another one coming about the coroner's report? It seemed to just end without a clear ending concerning that. Anyway, as Des's nephew, I think it was such a beautiful thing you did..to have made a lasting documented story about your Uncle for your entire family. I really hope you get some answers. It IS possible, even this far along. Good luck to you, Karen G., Arkansas, USA.(PS..I listened to the podcast about Zac Barnes also..again, good job and thank you).
