  • Buried Library Card, Delivery Driver, and the Vanished Radiology Tech
    2026/07/26
    Buried Library Card, Delivery Driver, and the Vanished Radiology Tech

    A waterproofed library card survived nearly three decades underground, deliberately placed in a bag at a burial site found November 9, 2019 - a trace that would ultimately reopen a 28-year disappearance. Who buried the card beside a body arranged face-down with hands under the chin, and why was a delivery driver on the same road the morning Rachel Vogel vanished?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from Rachel Vogel's routine life and disappearance on November 11, 1991 through the decades-long investigation, the overlooked note about a Braddock Food Supply delivery truck, and the 2019 excavation that confirmed Rachel's identity. How did a septic worker's discovery and a retired evidence tech's genealogy work finally connect the dots?

    Person: Rachel Vogel
    Date: November 11, 1991 (last confirmed purchase), November 9, 2019 (burial discovered)
    Location: Fenner Street (home), Aldis Road (coffee shop), Cutter Road property outside Valdeen (burial)
    Status: Identified by dental records after 28 years
    Event: Braddock Food Supply delivery truck logged 41 extra miles on November 12, 1991

    - Rachel Vogel was 38 years old and worked as a radiological technician on weekdays from 7:00 a.m, to 3:00 p.m.
    - Her last confirmed purchase was a receipt stamped 7:42 a.m. on November 11, 1991 at a coffee shop on Aldis Road.
    - Three missed shifts prompted her supervisor to report her missing on November 14, 1991 after she failed to show for work Tuesday through Thursday.
    - A note in Detective Walt Seaver's files recorded that a Braddock Food Supply vehicle logged 41 more miles than its documented route on November 12, 1991.
    - On November 9, 2019, a septic tank worker found a depression; excavation revealed a mostly intact skeleton in a waterproofed bag and a library card preserved in a bag at the site.

  • The Man Who Drove Her Home: The Earring That Broke Thirty Years Silence
    2026/07/25
    The Man Who Drove Her Home: The Earring That Broke Thirty Years Silence

    A sealed evidence bag, amber with age and labeled with a legible property number, turned up in leaf litter at Calloway Reservoir three decades after Michelle Vogel was killed - and the earring inside once belonged to a case that never left Merritt County evidence storage. How did an item tied to a thirty-year-old strangulation case end up buried miles from the file that said it never left the evidence room?

    In this episode, we tell the facts of Michelle Vogel's disappearance and death, the stray earring found on April 9, 2019, and the gaps in the original investigation that kept answers from the people who wanted them. What did that mismatched driver's seat and the evidence tag really mean for a case that had gone cold?

    Person: Michelle Vogel
    Date: October 11, 1989 (last seen); October 17, 1989 (body found)
    Location: Grover Falls, Ohio; body found in drainage culvert off County Road 14
    Status: Cause of death manual strangulation; case remained unresolved for decades
    Event: Earring found April 9, 2019 at eastern edge of Calloway Reservoir in sealed evidence bag

    - Michelle was 37 years old and worked as a billing coordinator at Merritt County General Hospital for eleven years.
    - She called her mother at 11:03 p.m. on October 11, 1989 and spoke for 22 minutes; that was the last time Elaine Vogel heard her voice.
    - Michelle’s car was found six days after she disappeared with keys in the ignition, purse on the passenger seat, and the driver’s seat pushed back approximately four inches.
    - Her body was discovered on October 17, 1989, having been at the site for most of the six days since she disappeared.
    - On April 9, 2019, Laura Cooper found a sealed plastic evidence bag containing a small gold hoop with turquoise inlay at Calloway Reservoir; the handwritten property number on the tag was still legible.

  • The Thorn Birds, the Bite Marks, and the Woman Who Lied for Decades
    2026/07/24
    The Thorn Birds, the Bite Marks, and the Woman Who Lied for Decades

    A paperback copy of The Thorn Birds was found balanced in the fingers of a dead woman's hand; the book had never belonged to her and it took thirty-one years for that detail to begin making sense. Bite-mark casts made in 1979 were sealed in a freezer for twenty-seven years before a routine photograph revealed a distinctive tooth irregularity that reopened everything - who placed the book there, and why did no one ask about the bowling scorecard?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from the unlocked door Holly Whitaker pushed open on September 9, 1979, to the long-forgotten dental casts photographed in 2007, tracing the overlooked clues and missed interviews that left key questions unanswered: who in Jean Tillman's circle was absent the night she disappeared, and who had the bite pattern that matched the casts?

    Person: Jean Tillman
    Date: September 9, 1979
    Location: Apartment 414, Callum Street, Drenner, Ohio
    Evidence: Eight bite marks with plaster casts made by Dr. Steven Marsh
    Person: Linda Stein

    - Jean Tillman was twenty-four years old and had been dead for approximately six hours when found on September 9, 1979.
    - Holly Whitaker, age fourteen, discovered Jean holding a paperback copy of The Thorn Birds that Jean had given away four months earlier.
    - Dr. Steven Marsh cast three bite marks on Jean’s left forearm and right shoulder and noted a rotational irregularity in the upper left lateral incisor.
    - The plaster casts remained in a Harlan County evidence freezer from 1980 until they were photographed in 2007 - twenty-seven years later.
    - The Tri-County Lanes bowling scorecard shows Jean missed league night on September 5, 1979, the same night L. Stein was recorded absent.
