In the early hours of May 8th 2019, 15 year old Riley Crossman went missing. Vanishing without a trace, her family and investigators were stumped. Desperate searches revealed little with no sign of Riley. Then, investigators, suspicious of Riley's mother's boyfriend pulled CCTV footage from area businesses on the day Riley went missing.

TW/CW: SA, Abuse of a corpse

During a gap year, Grace, from the UK, traveled to New Zealand. There, with her bubbly and out going personality, she made fast and easy friends. The day before her 22nd birthday, Grace went on a date with a man named Jesse who she met on a dating app. She would never be seen alive again. CCTV followed Grace all through the city, grimly spelling out exactly what happened to this amazing young woman.

In order to save Edwin Brown from what was clearly a curse, the townspeople dug up his mother, sister Mary, and sister Mercy. And thus, the legend of Mercy Brown was born.  Join Merris and Lillian as we discuss Rhode Island's most famous cryptid.
