    #45 Disappearance and Deception: The Disturbing Case of Lucinda Huels

    Lucinda Huels vanished under mysterious circumstances, leaving her family desperate for answers. When she returned over 8 years later, relief quickly gave way to confusion as inconsistencies and unanswered questions began to surface. What should have been a happy reunion instead deepened the mystery, turning the case into a haunting story of disappearance, identity, and a truth that didn’t quite add up.  Sources: https://crimeblogger1983.blogspot.com/2017/08/disappeared-tinze-lucinda-huels.html https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unfound/id1151955197?i=1000413484027 https://www.fox13news.com/news/fox-13-investigates-searching-for-lucinda https://charleyproject.org/case/tinze-lucinda-huels https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/s/0CxoDoVF80 https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/s/mDwUg6k3jM https://www.missingkids.org/poster/NCMC/601768/1 Message us!

    FUF #18: Beasts, Bodies, and Bad Boyfriends. High Drama!

    It's Follow Up Friday!!  Settle in while we catch up on life, the media we've been devouring, and the wildly unhinged news cycle. First up: the bizarre story out of Oklahoma, where a woman was attacked by a mysterious "dog-like" creature that has everyone debating cryptid vs. coyote. Then we dive into the heartbreaking and deeply unsettling case of a young man whose remains were discovered in his family's tree house four years after he disappeared — his family had believed all along that he'd simply run away. To lighten things up (sort of), we get into the latest chaos from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, with a heavy focus on Taylor Frankie Paul and the ongoing mess with her truly terrible ex Dakota. Finally, we read through some of your comments and reviews (thank you, we love you!) and share what we've been watching, reading, and obsessing over lately.  Pause what you’re doing, press play on the pod, and come hang with us.

    Who killed Mildred Cotter? For decades, reclusive Mildred Cotter lived a quiet life in her Port Washington apartment in Long Island, New York. The widow of a homicide detective, she lived comfortably alone, no children and no close relatives or friends. Then, one morning her home-health aide discovered Mildred's apartment had been ransacked, and amid the chaos she discovered Mildred's battered and lifeless body. It was clear foul play was afoot.  But, the Port Washington Homicide unit had their work cut out for them. Who would want to kill this frail, lonely old lady, who seemingly had no enemies, but also no friends? Join us as we dive into this seldom talked about case of trust and betrayal, and discuss the tragic murder of Mildred Cotter, and the social issues surrounding vulnerable people.  Sources: Iszak, Louise.

    In this episode of our Cryptid Crawl,  The Spooky Darlings make a stop in Maine, where we go ‘upta camp’ to meet the Specter Moose, a larger-than-life, ghostly white, seemingly bulletproof moose, spotted by many for the past hundred years. Next, we learn about the Waldoboro Wildman, a real 'corker' of a cryptid described as a  small, bipedal humanoid covered in black fur, that made headlines in the 19th century. We finish with the terrifying story of the Palmyra Wolves, a group of creatures who gave one family a 'wicked crazy' night, fighting for their lives. Ayuh, these Maine cryptids are right-out-straight amazing!

    Cryptid Crawl #18- Louisiana! Cryptid Jambalaya

    Today we stop in Louisiana for a dive into the bayous and swamps, where we meet three Cryptids from the Pelican State- none of them birds! First, the Darlings will terrify you with the Rougarou - Is it a Werewolf? A Man? A Gator? No one knows. Then, we get deep into the vampire lore of New Orleans with the 1900's tale of Jacque St. Germain, who is rumored to be walking the streets of New Orleans to this day. Finally, you think your dad is bad? He's nothing compared to the Pere Malfait, a bayou dwelling mimic, ready to lure unsuspecting passersby into its clutches. It truly is a delicious and spicy mix of three Cryptid tales.  Message us! Hello spooky crew!
