Hey friends, you've probably noticed that the moms got a little quiet lately, we wanted to reassure you that Like Mother Like Murder isn’t going anywhere. As a two-woman, indie podcast, we took a short pause to focus on important advocacy work, special projects, and supporting families who needed us beyond our weekly episodes.

Doing this work the right way matters to us—and mediocre is just not our vibe. The good news? We’ll be back January 27th, refreshed, focused, and ready for an exciting year ahead.

Thank you for your patience, grace, and continued support. We love this community and can’t wait to be back with you. 💛 Rachel & Heather 🎧 New episodes return January 27th

MISSING IN HUSH TOWN:The Disappearance of Bethany Markowski

In March 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Leanne Markowski vanished without a trace during a scheduled visit with her father. He claims she walked into the Jackson, Tennessee mall — and then she was simply gone. No witnesses. No confirmed sightings. No answers.

Now, more than two decades later, Missing In Hush Town returns for a powerful second season to re-examine Bethany’s case with fresh ears and renewed urgency. Working alongside Bethany’s family, retired and current law enforcement, journalists, and those who have never stopped searching, this season digs deep into the events leading up to her disappearance, the early investigative missteps, and the haunting question that still hangs over Hush Town:Where is Bethany Markowski?

Join us as we trace Bethany’s story, amplify the voices of those who love and miss her, and uncover new perspectives that may help bring her home.

Heather and I decided to do something a little different—and a lot creepier. We scoured Reddit for the scariest mom stories we could find and brought them to life with spooky sound effects and Halloween vibes.
Are these stories true? Who knows. Are they terrifying? Absolutely.
Grab your favorite halloween drink, lock the doors, and prepare to be freaked out.
🎃 You’ve been warned.
