Mystifyingly Missing, True Crime & Thought-provoking Events

The loss of one child who went missing seems unbearable.  Two going missing seems absolutely unimaginable. Here is the tale of two brothers, the Palmer brothers, who went missing years apart in Alaska, with hardly any clues to lead investigators in any direction.

Today we will cover the first half of a case in the disappearance of Christine Sheddy.  This young mother was staying with her “best” friend and disappeared, seemingly into nowhere.  Her mother, her biggest champion, never gave up.  The search was marred by information found in Christine’s Diary as well as the preconceptions of at least one detective according to Christine’s mother.

This does include a fundraiser for the funeral for my brother George.  He had quadruple bypass just before Christmas and was on his way to a Cardiac Rehab Appointment.  He was stopped for a school bus that had it’s lights on and Stop Sign out.  For some reason, another driver didn’t see him.  The investigation is ongoing and we are not sure how insurance works in these cases, but my sister-in-law lost her best friend, I lost my hero, his kids and grandkids lost a mentor, and now my SIL needs to find a way to pay for the service.  Thank you.

GoFundMe for funeral services for George Jefferson, my brother:

On Thanksgiving Eve in 1930, The Germond Family was killed, shocking Duchess County, NY and the whole nation.  While this grisly unsolved crime took the lives of an entire close family unit, it has not had as much coverage or discussion as some other family murders.  It has been over 90 years now, but is there any evidence left, or anyone, that can ever shed any light onto this case?

This episode will cover the crash of the Virgin Enterprise Spaceship, which took place 8 years earlier as of the publication of this episode. Today I hope that we can look at the term “pilot error” and understand the high level of detail and demand that each pilot has to undertake and understand that sometimes the stresses placed on an individual is too much to expect when the margin of error is a fraction of a second.

This episode will look at the events that occurred over 2 days in June of 1922.  Union workers, strike-breakers and guards came into conflict.  As a mob mentality took over men who were normally peaceful, 24 men would pay the price with their lives, leaving communities devastated and the nation in shock.

This is Part 2 of the Stayner Brothers, following the crimes that Cary committed years after Steven's death.  There will be some insight by family, but it does truly leave a question about how much, if at all, the events that catapulted his family into the national spotlight impacted his urge to commit murder.

In my series about siblings, we will be looking at the Stayner Brothers.  Part 1 will detail the kidnapping and life of Steven Stayner, a young man who went through trauma but found the strength to make sure that another young boy didn't go through the same things that he had gone through.

This episode will cover some of the history of Spanish Fly, a beautiful emerald green beetle that has been used to cause mayhem throughout the ages.  It is said to aid in carnal desires, treat different ailments, and even be used to commit devious crimes.

Today we will explore the crash of a 1964 flight, TWA 800.  While many of us will think of the flight accident in 1996, a TWA flight of the same number crashed and caught fire on take off in Rome.  Lessons were not learned from this flight, we have to wonder what would have happened during some future accidents if these lessons had been heeded.

I will be going back to early in the Danger on Delmarva Podcast to add more information about a case that I covered in episode 3 of that podcast.  I have found additional information about the Two State Terror case as well as information about that shooter's brother, who was also convicted of murder.  If you have listened to the other podcast and heard the original story, some of the information will be repetitive but some will be brand new, especially information about his brother. 

Join me as I recall a very turbulent and tense morning throughout the Eastern Shore of Delaware and parts of Maryland, taking place in 2005.  While the day started as any other, it quickly devolved into fear, dread and worry as a gunman drove through 2 states shooting indiscriminately at people, pets and objects.

Allison Lamont Norman and his brother Shane Deshields had a difficult childhood, and with 2 defining crimes, they decided their fates.

Part 2 of a 2 part episode.  We will explore two different cases that led to speculation and outright allegations of a hoax against each of the victims.  What led the police to their conclusions?  How did they approach both the core players of each case and the representation of those players to the media and public?  What responsibility did each person play in the events that took place?  And how do we, a public that relies on the media for the truth and law enforcement for safety, react to these allegations?  How important are the lies?

Eric was reported as missing, but almost everybody (or truly everybody) knew where he was.  No one would let his loved ones find him though.  Were lies told?  Whose fault was it?  Why did his family have to suffer through 3 years of fighting to find him? Could this all have been avoided?

Join me as I explore the truly frustrating, anger inducing and heartbreaking case of Eric Haider.

We'll explore the lives of 2 aviation pioneers, Harriet Quimby and Gertrude Tompkins.  One burst through barriers in a time when aviation was in its infancy, defying the conventions of the day.  Her greatest achievement was overshadowed by an international tragedy. The other gave her life serving her country without the recognition that others had.

This episode will cover the disappearance of the richest man that you’ve (probably) never heard about.  The means of his disappearance was as bizarre as it was unbelievable.  Though this disappearance occured close to a century ago, the exact circumstances behind the disappearance remains a mystery.

We will explore the cases of Keith Reinhard and Tom Young on the first episode of Mystifyingly MIssing.  This case has endured, primarily due to the parallels between these two men.  Tom went missing first, in 1987.  Less than a year later, Keith Reinhard, a writer who had gone to tiny Silver Plume, CO for inspiration, went missing in a way similar to Young.  Today, Keith Reinhard’s case is well known, but Tom Young seems to be a footnote to the case.  While Tom was found, Keith is still missing.  HIs family has gone over 30 years without answers.  Maybe with some luck, his family can one day find the answers that they need.
