Justin Alexander was a survival expert, a full-time vagabond, and the kind of man who could disappear—if he wanted to. But in 2016, after venturing into India’s remote and unforgiving Parvati Valley, he didn’t come back. Led into the Himalayas by a holy man on a so-called spiritual quest, Justin left behind whispers, half-truths, and a cryptic, haunting message: "If I’m not back by mid-September, don’t look for me." Status: Untraced is a gripping journey into the unknown—a search through treacherous landscapes, whispered legends, and truths that refuse to sit still. Because out there in the wild, the line between lost and gone can be razor thin. New three-part mini-season cover's the 2010 disappearance of 23-year-old Aubrey Sacco, who set off alone into Nepal’s Langtang National Park — and never came back.

TRUE CRIME
This season goes deeper into real encounters, credible witnesses, and the explanations that never seem to stick. More firsthand accounts. Bigger moments. And more times where the official story starts to wobble. This isn’t about believing everything. It’s about following the story until it actually makes sense… or until it gets too strange to ignore. New season. Same curiosity. Same skepticism. Still probably not a weather balloon.

In this six episode installment, we’ll take you to Hoopa, California, home of the Hoopa Valley tribe.

TRUE CRIME
When Afrikka Hardy was strangled in 2014 it seemed completely random, but it wasn’t. It was part of a pattern. Four years earlier, reporter Thomas Hargrove had created an algorithm to detect serial killers and flagged Gary, Indiana as the site of an unusual number of strangulations. But when Hargrove reached out to warn local police, he was ignored -- until Afrikka Hardy was murdered, and those cold cases suddenly didn’t look so cold. Algorithm follows the investigation into Afrikka’s murder, exposing the warnings that police ignored, and uncovering more than anyone expected -- that a serial killer was strangling women in Gary, Indiana could've been stopped. And that Afrikka Hardy should be alive today. This podcast will explore how technology can be used to identify and track serial killers, and how an algorithm can influence the way homicides are investigated all across the country.

Hosted by Payne Lindsey (Up and Vanished) and Jake Brennan (Disgraceland), DEAD AND GONE Season 2 dives deep into the DeadHead subculture, investigating four of these tragic unresolved cases while simultaneously navigating the career of this iconic band.
