In this episode, we delve into the chilling case of Mike Williams, who vanished without a trace in December 2000. Mike woke up early that morning, eager for a duck hunting trip on Lake Seminole, before celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife, Denise. As the day progressed with no word from Mike, Denise's concern turned into panic. Desperate to find him, she enlisted the help of his best friend, Brian, and her father. Together, they headed to Lake Seminole, scouring Mike's usual hunting spots. What they discovered was eerie and unsettling: Mike's truck parked by the shore, his boat half-submerged in the weeds, and his hunting gear still on board—but there was no sign of Mike. Join us as we explore the baffling details of this case, the frantic search efforts, and the unsettling questions that remain unanswered.

Missing at Lake Seminole : The Mysterious Disappearance of Mike Williams

Betty Bowman, 32, and her husband, Connor, 30, appeared to have an idyllic life. They met at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy; after graduation, she became an operating room pharmacist, and he started medical school, moonlighting as a poison control specialist. The couple openly maintained an open relationship, agreeing to see other people on the condition of full transparency about any partners. Everything seemed perfect until August 16, when Betty went to the emergency room in Rochester, Minnesota, with severe food poisoning. Over the next four days, her condition inexplicably worsened, leading to her death from organ failure. When Connor attempted to cancel the autopsy and expedite Betty's cremation, her grieving friends became alarmed. Is Connor Bowman trying to cover something up? As suspicions mount, the bitter secrets hidden beneath their perfect facade begin to surface.

In the heart of Milwaukee, a vibrant city known for its brewing history and beautiful lakefront, Kelly Dwyer lives life to the fullest. At twenty-seven, she's a yoga enthusiast with a passion for Milwaukee’s nightlife, and her infectious spirit makes her a beloved figure among her peers. But beneath the surface of her seemingly carefree existence on social media and trendy dating apps, a mystery begins to unfold.

The evening ends at Kris’s upscale apartment—and then nothing. Kelly vanishes without a trace.
The days that follow are fraught with tension and fear. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover a web of secrets hidden behind the closed doors of her online world and the nightspots she frequented. Each discovery leads to more questions: What happened in the early hours at Kris's apartment? Who is the man behind Kelly's loving boyfriend façade? And most crucially, where is Kelly Dwyer?
