This week, we are headed to the deserts of the Grand Canyon State - Arizona! First, Kenzie shares the tumultuous story of the disappearance and murder of DiAnne Keidel. It takes an act of bravery 30 years later that helps solve the case. Next, Lauren shared the disappearance of Klaus Martens and June Marajune Walker. The couple went on a routine flight and seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth. Was it foul play? An alien abduction? Maybe a covert government operation! Join us as we unravel these Arizona mysteries.

This week, we head to the pacific northwest to the Beaver state - Oregon! Lauren starts us off with the creepy legend of the Bandage Man. After an unfortunate accident, the Bandage Man has haunted the roads of Oregon leaving behind his bloody bandages. Next, Kenzie shares the eerie stories that come from the Wolf Creek Inn and Tavern in southern Oregon. After more than 140 years in operation, it’s safe to say this historic stop has no shortage of ghosts and ghouls. Join us as we unpack the bone-chilling legends of Oregon!

Happy New Year, everyone! This week, Kenzie dives into the horrifying crimes of Johann Jack Unterweger, one of Austria’s most infamous serial killers—who was shockingly released from prison after already committing murder. Then, Lauren lightens things up (slightly) by sharing some of the wild, reckless, and downright stupid crimes people have gotten themselves into on New Year’s Eve. Join us for our final spooky special of 2025!

*Towards the beginning of Kenzie’s story, she discusses what life was like in Germany at the time with the Berlin Wall splitting it into West and East Berlin. In the episode, it was said that the Allies had East Berlin and the Soviet Union had West Berlin. That is incorrect and it was the other way around.*

We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming and heading to the Garden State — New Jersey! First, Kenzie dives into the eerie legends surrounding Shades of Death Road, where countless travelers claim to have witnessed ghosts, strange mists, and unexplained phenomena. It’s definitely a “road less traveled” for a reason. Then, Lauren shares the heartbreaking story of Gary Grant Jr., a young boy who vanished after being seen with a friend and was later found not far from home. Despite multiple suspects and years of investigation, his case remains unsolved and deeply haunting. Join us as we journey through New Jersey’s chilling mysteries!

-

As the case is still unsolved, anyone with information on the case is urged to call detectives at 609-909-7666 or call 609-909-7800 or visit the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office website
