On October 25th, 2014 22 year old Chelsea Bruck went a halloween party at 'Big Mikes'. It was an annual tradition that usually had about 400 people show up but in 2014 it is estimated between 600-800 people showed up. Chelsea had a ride home but it fell thru and soon all her friends had left without her. A chance encounter with someone would end tragically after a huge search and over a million flyers.

Podcast announcement - We are going to start doing ominous minisodes. A couple times a week I am going to be posting smaller stories that aren't enough for a main episode, they will be up on insta and Facebook, just brief written over views of current or interesting cases.

When this episode starts in 2020 Lauryn Licari was 13 and was living the life of an average teenager, she had a boyfriend and was attending high school in her extremely small town. In October her and her boyfriend, Owen McKenny, would get a group text message from an unknown number. That would be the start of an almost 2 year nightmare for the teenagers.

This episode is gonna be a little different but we wanted to cover it since catfishing is a big problem and can get ominous, especially how far this instance of it goes. Also we recorded this in a new location so some of the audio volume is a little up and down, we are working on fixing it for the next episode. Thanks for listening.

On May 11th, 2000 in Antartica 32 year old Rodney Marks was walking between stations when he started to feel really sick. His symptoms would escalate as the night went on. The technology they had that could have helped them was down as was the phones and internet so they were left to figure it out on their own. Thanks for listening.
