While Dead Bodies is on pause for the moment, we are pleased to share a project that Dee Dee has been working on for the last 18 months. It's a true crime investigation into the disappearance of 12-year-old Terry Floyd in Avoca, Victoria, Australia, in 1975.

In this bonus episode, Sharnelle and Dee Dee discuss her work on this intriguing cold case with former Homicide Detective Charlie Bezzina, and Daryl Floyd, who is digging in a disused gold mine for the remains of his missing brother.
