    The Silent Witness Podcast "A Rampage in Cincinnati: The Stanley Fitzpatrick Case"

    In the summer of 2001, 42-year-old Stanley Fitzpatrick kissed his daughter goodbye, stepped out of his modest home in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was never seen again. By all accounts, Stanley was a devoted father, a quiet man who kept to himself and worked long hours at the Queen City Foundry. But when he failed to show up for his shift—or return home—questions began to pile up faster than answers. His car was discovered abandoned near the Ohio River, keys still in the ignition. No signs of a struggle. No witnesses. Just silence. In this episode, we peel back the layers of Stanley's disappearance: the cryptic voicemail left hours before he vanished, the co-worker with a secret, and the long-standing rumors about what may have happened that night on the riverbank. Was Stanley Fitzpatrick the victim of foul play, or did he choose to disappear? Join us as we revisit police reports, speak with those who knew him best, and explore a case that has haunted Cincinnati for over two decades.
