  • Good Hearted Woman - Tammy Lynn Pitkin

    What happened to Tammy Lynn Pitkin (Laughlin)?

     

    She lived in Red Bluff, California, and was going through a divorce.

    Interestingly, she went missing in Linn County, Oregon, in October 2022. After
    reportedly saying that she was going to take some time to herself and go to the
    coast. Except 30 miles east of Sweet Home, OR, is close to 2 hours away from
    the coast, and the wrong direction from I-5.

     

    Was she trying to run away? Was this a death by misadventure

    in the woods? Was there foul play?

     

    We will get into all of this, and more, on this super sized episode

    of our podcast.

  • Runaway Train - Duane Edward Fochtman

    Sometime on July 22, 1986, Duane Edward Fochtman disappeared

    from downtown Lincoln City, OR. Or at least we think that where he was last seen. There are competing rumors of whether he ran away of his own accord, was abducted, or perhaps never left the area. More than 38 years on, Duane has never been found.
