Death Mysteries goes beyond internet research. We visit crime scenes in real life for our research. We explored the campsite the Cowden Family vanished from in 1974. We discovered the cave where their bodies were ultimately discovered. Our research quest took us to the Southern Oregon Historical Society where we read period newspaper articles and looked at photographs taken during the initial investigation. We explore the possible suspects and discuss the horrific crime. This crime remains technically unsolved today.

Celia Darlene Barnes was a Marine Corp veteran who served in Vietnam. On September 2nd, 2002 she was with her sister collecting cans on the side of the road in Gold Hill, Oregon. They got separated and Darlene failed to return to the car. Darlene was never seen again. Join me as I discuss the details of this case in the first episode of Death Mysteries.
