On Thanksgiving Day in 1919, New York game protector John H. Woodruff left home to patrol the woods — and never came back. Two years later, his remains were found in a shallow creek grave, his skull split by what appeared to be a single, powerful axe blow.

In this 90-minute Thanksgiving special, Mr. Bones unravels the century-old mystery: Woodruff’s final patrol, the missing notebook, the suspects who made threats, the community’s silence, and why the truth behind his murder still haunts Schenectady County.

A forgotten crime. A violent secret. And a holiday forever shadowed by a disappearance.
