Shadows Along I-40 is a raw, unfiltered conversation rooted in lived experience.

In this episode, journalist and founder of TheColdCases.com, Dustin Terry, sits down with a childhood friend to revisit the dark undercurrents that shaped their upbringing in Sequoyah County, where Interstate 40 cuts through small towns and long-held secrets.

Together, they discuss the haunting case of Charity Beallis, the open secret of sex trafficking along I-40, the presence of serial predators who exploited the anonymity of America’s highways, and the lasting damage caused by a local sheriff’s race clouded by allegations of corruption and cartel influence.

This is not a sensational retelling—it’s a reckoning. A reflection on what happens when communities know something is wrong, but lack the power or protection to speak. It’s about memory, silence, and the consequences of looking away.
