March 02, 2024 ***LIVE***The Disappearance of Celeste Doghmi
Tonight we are joined by Joe Chapentier, an investigative reporter for the Sun Journal newspaper and author of an article that raised questions and brought the disappearance of Celeste Doghmi into the public eye.
Police are investigating the disappearance of 29-year-old Celeste Doghmi, who was last seen in the Auburn, Maine area at the end of July 2021.
Doghmi is a German citizen and her family, who is living out of the country, have not been able to contact her since July 2021, according to a statement issued by police.
Doghmi is a 5-foot, 2-inch Black woman, weighing 110 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes
Initial inquiries by the Sun Journal into the woman’s disappearance led to more questions than answers, including why her boyfriend at the time didn’t report her missing, the reasons behind why she became estranged from her family and friends, and what ultimately happened to the then-27-year-old mother who lived in Auburn for two years and whose baby was taken into state custody in April 2023.

January 22, 2024 ***LIVE***The Elan School -Horror in Maine
Joined by the president of the Elan School Survivors, Mark Babitz, we look into the dark history of a Maine reformatory school. The facility was closed down on April 1, 2011, due to reports of abuse, many from former students, dating back to its opening in 1970.
Throughout its history, the school was faced with numerous allegations of student maltreatment. In 2001, Details magazine cited Élan as "among the most controversial of the nation's residential therapeutic communities." In 1975, Illinois state officials removed eleven children from the Élan program, alleging mistreatment. In the late-1970s, Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Max Ashburn visited the school after repeatedly hearing rumors of abuse, but the staff did not allow him entry into the school past the lobby. Following this, he began keeping a file in which he documented names and phone numbers related to Élan, as well as reported abuses.
