    The Dugout
    Sep 16 2024
    "She was wanting to go out and see somebody. She wouldn't tell me who."

    On the morning of March 6th, 2012, the body of thirteen-year-old Jessica Funk-Haslam was found inside a locked baseball dugout at a public park. Jessica, who went to school just a stone's throw away from this park, had been acting up in the months before her death. She had begun rebelling - as most teenagers do - but had begun hanging around a rather rough crowd. In a final act of defiance, she had stormed out of her mother's apartment without telling her where she was going or who she was meeting up with.

    Over the next several years, detectives would struggle to determine why Jessica had been targeted by a particularly violent killer. It wasn't until August of 2014 that investigators began to set their sights on a suspect: a young man named Ryan Roberts...

  • Jason & Julia Potter

    Jason & Julia Potter
    Sep 2 2024
    "Hello? Is it me you're looking for?"

    In November of 2014, 6-year-old Julia Potter went missing. She was last seen in the care of her father, Jason, who'd had a scheduled visit with Julia that fateful weekend. As police would later learn, Jason had willingly fled from his North Seattle home, having informed his lawyers beforehand that he was "going off the grid."

    In the years that have passed, rumors have swirled around where Jason and Julia have been. Some theorize that Jason's family and friends, scattered throughout western Washington, have been providing them shelter. Police speculate that the two may have fled to Asia. Others believe the two may be living in the wilderness of Washington state. However, nearly a decade after Julia's abduction, her mother continues to hold out hope for her safe return...

  • Short Stories #4 (The WKCR Radio Hijacking & Kathy Struckhoff)

    Short Stories #4 (The WKCR Radio Hijacking & Kathy Struckhoff)
    Aug 27 2024
    This episode contains two separate, unrelated stories from the Patreon archive.

    In 2013, a user on 4chan posted audio from an alleged radio hijacking that was purported to have taken place in the mid-1990s. Since then, theories have sprung up that the station affected, New York's WKCR, was hijacked in 1995, while others speculate that the audio itself is fabricated.

    In 1995, the body of 38-year-old Kathy Struckhoff was found alongside a road in New Port Richey, Florida. She was believed to have last been seen speaking to a suspicious man at a nearby bar, and investigators speculated that the man had been her killer.

    Jim Duckett
    Aug 13 2024
    "We think that the person or persons... sought him out specifically. We don't think that this was a random act of violence that could have been anybody. We think that they specifically sought after James Duckett."

    On the morning of 10 November 2008, Katherine Nichols dropped by the home of her younger brother in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Jim Duckett, a 43-year-old U.S. Army veteran, had not been seen or heard from in more than a day, having been a no-show at his church the prior morning. Attempts to reach him via telephone had been unsuccessful, and his truck was missing from his driveway.

    Katherine had actually dropped by Jim's home the night prior to check in on him, but was unable to see much inside. The lights inside had been turned off, except for a single bathroom light. Using her key to enter Jim's home, Katherine made a grim discovery late that Monday morning...

    "The Zuma payload is a restricted payload. The event represents a cost-effective approach to space access for government missions..."

    Given the code-name "Zuma," Mission 1390 was a collaboration between the U.S. government and two private companies, multinational aerospace and defense firm Northrop Grumman and spacecraft manufacturer and launch service provider SpaceX. However, it was unknown what the purpose of Zuma was, with specific details - such as the U.S. government agency in charge of the project - remaining classified.

    On 7 March 2018, Zuma was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, strapped to the top of a Falcon 9 rocket. Minutes later, the booster's two stages separated...

  • Listen Now: Hysterical

    Listen Now: Hysterical
    Jul 22 2024
    Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.

    From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.

    Follow Hysterical on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge all episodes of Hysterical early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery+ at Wondery.fm/Hysterical_Unresolved

    "How can someone do this and not come forward? It makes me believe this can't be a hit and run."

    Early on the morning of 17 July 2002, a motorist traveling down Cashdollar Road in Pennsylvania's Butler County came upon what appeared to be two lifeless bodies Emergency personnel arrived shortly thereafter and learned that this was two local teenagers who'd been heading home late on a summer night, who appeared to have been hit by a vehicle and left for dead.

    More than two decades later, though, questions linger. How had these two lifelong best friends ended up on the side of the road? And more importantly, who was responsible for putting them there?
