A toddler vanished from her bed in a quiet Maine town, and the truth sank with the river that runs through it.
December 2011. Waterville. Ayla Reynolds was 20 months old when her father called 911 to say she was gone. Blood in the basement, three adults in the house, and a story that never fit. No arrests. No closure. Just a river that refused to speak.

In this Mini Morbid, we trace the timeline of Maine’s largest missing-child investigation, the failures that followed, and the silence that still haunts Violette Avenue.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to a missing child, presumed death, and unresolved criminal investigation. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

In the shadow of Washington’s Cascade Mountains, three young sisters vanish during a visitation, and the forest holds its breath. What begins as a missing persons case unfolds into one of the most haunting manhunts in recent memory.

Army veteran Travis Decker, thirty-two, disappears into the wilderness after the unthinkable. Searchers, drones, and entire towns join the hunt through fog-shrouded ridges and rain-soaked silence. Months later, when the forest finally gives up its last secret, the answers come too late.

This is a story about systems that failed, love that fractured, and a wilderness that remembers everything.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of child homicide, domestic violence, missing persons, and suicide. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Behind the stone walls of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries, holiness was weaponized and women were scrubbed into silence. From steam-filled rooms to unmarked graves, this story unearths how faith turned to factory, and how a nation built its purity on the backs of its daughters. Decades later, the echoes still reach Parliament floors and classroom doors — a reckoning whispered through rosaries and records.

Sanctity can hide a multitude of sins, especially when those sins are laundered in holy water.

Bangor, Maine, 1984 — a summer night drenched in rain, laughter, and cruelty. When twenty-three-year-old Charlie Howard was chased and thrown from State Street Bridge, the river became a mirror reflecting what the town refused to see.

Hundreds of children. A forgotten septic tank. And a silence that lasted decades.

In Tuam, Ireland, a ruined Mother and Baby Home hid one of the darkest truths in modern history. Nearly 800 infants and children died under the care of the Bon Secours Sisters between 1925 and 1961, most buried without coffins, names, or dignity.

This episode follows the relentless work of Catherine Corless, the local historian who uncovered the truth, and the families who continue to fight for recognition, DNA identification, and accountability. From the whispers of local boys who first stumbled on bones, to the state-led excavation finally underway in 2025, this is the story Ireland tried to keep quiet.

Grief this raw is never “historical.” The ground still speaks.

After weeks of silence, I return to the mic. This short reset episode is raw and honest: why the crypt went quiet, what’s coming next, and a promise for the future. Expect full-length deep dives on Sundays and Mini Morbids on Wednesdays moving forward.

A summer evening on a quiet Maine pond turned into a nightmare.

On July 2, 2025, 48-year-old Sunshine “Sunny” Stewart went paddleboarding on Crawford Pond in Union, Maine. By the next morning, she was dead, her body recovered near 100 Acre Island. The case shocked her small community when investigators ruled it a homicide, caused by strangulation and blunt force trauma.

This Mini Morbid traces Sunny’s life as a carpenter, boat captain, and mother, the investigation that followed, and the arrest of the 17-year-old boy now charged with her murder. It is a story of violence in a place that should have been safe, and a reminder of the fragility of peace in even the most ordinary moments.
