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 looking at the Buffalo Cave John Doe. This is a first for What The Heck?. A solved mystery that creates another mystery. Originally a torso found in 1979 and limbs found in 1990, the identity of the John Doe is actually Henry Loveless. But that discovery just leaves us with more questions. Who is Henry Loveless? What did he do? Who murdered him? Listen in to find out!
