    The ID Badge That Refused to Stay Buried

    Imagine an ID badge, lost and found, then stolen and found again on the exact same stretch of road seventeen months later. This isn't a coincidence; it's a chilling echo from a closed group in Irongate, Wisconsin. What dark secrets did this fellowship hide that made a simple badge refuse to stay buried?

    In this episode, we uncover the story of Connie Voss's ID badge and the unusual circumstances surrounding its reappearance. We delve into the Irongate Fellowship, a small, closed group led by Ruth Fitzgerald, and the documented events that reveal how a search for stability led to a pattern of manipulation.
