Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're off to Ocean Beach, California, to look at a mysterious death. Michelle Von Emster had beaten Leukemia a few years before 1994. One night, after being refused entry to a local concert, she asked her roommate, Coco, to drop her off at one of the piers on Ocean Beach. The next afternoon, her body was discovered floating near Sunset Cliffs by a pair of surfers. What happened to Michelle Von Emster? Where was she during the night? Why is her death still unsolved? Listen in to hear all the theories!
