People are the Worst PATW Premium

F YEAH TO 100 EPISODES! We're switching it up for the special occasion! Rebecca talks about 4 separate unexplainable stories:

In 1990, a local news anchor named Diane Newton King got a phone call from a fan asking for advice. She was polite and talked to him, but then he kept calling...Things went downhill fast. This was the beginning of stalking laws and Diane's husband Brad was a former cop so they took this very seriously. Then on a cold, February night it all ended tragically. 

On October 1, 1985, 17-year-old Michele "Missy" Avila went out with her friend, Laura Doyle. Hours later, the Avila's phone rings and it's Laura asking to speak to Missy. Mrs. Avila's heart sank because she assumed they were still together but Laura explained that Missy saw some guys she knew and left with them. Three days later, a hiker found her deep in Angeles National Forest face down in a stream with a log across the back of her neck.

Joan Harmon had had a very rough couple of years until 2004 when she met & married Christian "Kit" Martin. Kit was a well respected army major and when the two finally settled in Pembroke, Kentucky, life was good...until it wasn't. After their divorce, Cal & Pam Phillips take Joan in until she gets back on her feet. As she's moving out, she finds something very damning & the story goes downhill from there. A lot of crime takes place, including a triple murder. We may need to have a debate on this one...

Elton B. Stephens, Jr. is a very well known businessman in Birmingham, AL (our hometown, heyooo). In September 2020, he started his day with a stranger in his bedroom telling him he was in the wrong house. It ended with police from two different departments and the FBI in his driveway.

In 2002, John Darwin went out for an early morning kayak ride and never returned. His wife and two sons were devastated but held out hope that he was alive until his broken kayak washed up on shore months later. It was determined he was dead but they never found a body. Six years later a man walks into a police station and changes the entire investigation...
