Oh listeners. Buckle up… Have we got a strange one for you today? Today’s tale of terror was sent in by one of our very own listeners, the lovely Macabre, Alex(you know who you are)….thank you Alex for sending in the mystery of the missing cat lady, that I will be covering today. Alex was kind enough to send in photos and case files and even an audio recording. She went all out for this episode!

As far as being true to MACABRE, this story has everything you could ask for. It has cats…and I mean a LOT of cats. But we’ll get into that in a minute. It has…a missing person…. It has fraud…and I’m not saying it for sure has murder but I’m not, NOT saying MURDERRR. So buckle up listeners because as always, today’s hometown macabre is not for the faint of heart.
