The Woman Who Made a Missing Person Vanish - And Left a Fake Badge

A laminated press credential turned up on a Dunbar Creek porch on October 14, 2022, bearing the name Nora Tilden - a name that had no real person behind it and an editor's signature later revealed as a forgery. Four million listeners tuned in to thirty-seven episodes across three seasons built around a disappearance that never happened; who was the woman in the photo and why did someone sustain this fiction for years?

In this episode, we present the sequence of events that connected a physical credential to a long-running audio hoax, describe how the fictional case was constructed and sustained, and ask whether the lines between grief, ambition, and deception can be clearly drawn.
