    Ep. 137 - Mysterious Deaths of Yellowstone National Park

    National Parks have forever been an escape for adventure seekers and predators alike. The vast expanse of wilderness offers endless explanations for those who go missing.  But since its inception, multiple people have disappeared in Yellowstone under extremely curious circumstances.

    Mami Matsuda disappeared from a pachinko parlor in Japan in 1990 sparking a decades-long mystery of murders and cover-ups.

    Ep. 131 - The Redpath Mansion Mystery

    Over a century ago, one of Montreal’s most powerful families, the Redpaths, suffered an unimaginable tragedy. The youngest son Clifford and his mother were murdered in June of 1901. Oddly, authorities were never called and the deceased were buried in record time. Some speculate that Clifford killed his mother before turning the weapon on himself, while others believe the opposite.  However, I believe there is more to this story than meets the eye.
