January 25, 2026 What Most Likely Happened: The Disappearance of Mekayla Bali
Mekayla Bali disappeared in 2016 after being seen multiple times in and around her hometown, acting as if she were waiting for someone who never arrived.

January 24, 2026 What Most Likely Happened: The Murder of Blair Adams
Blair Adams left Canada in 1996 convinced someone was trying to kill him, and within days, he was dead in a Knoxville construction site. He was found with his money scattered around him, his body partially undressed, and injuries that didn’t clearly explain how he died. Investigators ruled it an accident, but the scene raised more questions than answers. No suspects were ever named, and no clear motive was established. Decades later, the death of Blair Adams still feels like the final chapter of a story missing its middle.

January 23, 2026 What Most Likely Happened: The Murder of Julie Ward
Julie Ward vanished in Kenya’s Masai Mara in 1988, and what was later found were not answers but fragments that only deepened the mystery. Official explanations shifted repeatedly, from animal attack to accident, even as forensic evidence pointed toward deliberate human involvement. Key details were ignored, altered, or buried, raising questions about whether the truth was intentionally obscured. Despite years of investigation and relentless pressure from her family, no one has ever been held accountable. What remains is the unsettling possibility that the full story of Julie Ward was never meant to come out.

December 12, 2025 What Most Likely Happened: The Disappearance of Asha Degree
In this episode, we examine the unresolved disappearance of Asha Degree, a nine-year-old girl who vanished from her home in Shelby, North Carolina, in the early hours of February 14, 2000.

Asha was last seen leaving her house alone in the middle of the night during a cold rainstorm. Multiple motorists later reported seeing a small child walking along Highway 18, several miles from her home. When one driver tried to approach her, the child ran into the nearby woods.

More than a year later, Asha’s backpack was discovered buried along the same highway, wrapped in plastic. Its contents raised new questions and suggested that someone may have been involved in her disappearance.

Despite extensive searches, national media coverage, and decades of investigation, no confirmed suspects have ever been named. Authorities continue to believe that Asha did not survive, but the circumstances surrounding why she left her home — and who she may have encountered — remain unknown.

More than twenty years later, the case of Asha Degree remains one of the most disturbing and puzzling child disappearance cases in American history.
