205. Looks Like Facts Over Rumors - Randy Sellers Update With Special Guest Concerned Citizen "Jeremy"


Listen Later

This episode brings the first of what will be two updates on the ever-growingly infamous Randy Sellers case out of Kenton County Kentucky.  It was at the County Fair in 1980 when 17 year-old Randy Sellers, after some rowdy behavior, was ostensibly driven home by Kenton County Police, who claimed they dropped Sellers off close to his home – only to have him go missing…forever.  Melissa and the podcast have developed a keen interest in this case , and Melissa’s saga with the case, involving everything from misinformation, a possibly corrupt police agency and even a phone call with the FBI.  If you haven’t been following along, listen to Episodes 69, 121 and 151 (in order).  You’ll be drawn in too.  One of the most fascinating characters Melissa has met in her investigation of the Sellers case is the owner of a farm that was once part of a larger farm where rumors have had it for years that Randy Sellers’ body is buried.  That concerned citizen – who we’re calling “Jeremy” in this episode, has spent innumerable hours and a lot of his own money searching for the facts – and has found more information than 41 years’ worth of investigators.  Jeremy recently introduced Melissa to Fred Scroggins, a retired Kentucky State Police detective who’s spent more than 20 years – both on and off the job – trying to solve the Sellers disappearance.  Jeremy and Detective Scrogins were going to do a joint interview for this episode – but as you’ll hear, Fred Scroggins had an unexpected medical issue (wait until you hear about THAT), but is recovering and will join Melissa for Part 2 of this update very soon.  For now, take a listen as Melissa and Jeremy go over what’s known, what’s not known, and what the likeliest scenario is surrounding the vanishing of Randy Sellers.  PLUS – Melissa has a few choice words for police who hand off personal information without asking first.  A most enjoyable episode, if we do say so ourselves!
