Paradise After Dark: Missing & Unsolved

This is a special re-release because today, April 30, 2026, marks 30 years since the events that shook Fort Myers to its core.

In 1996, a group of teenagers known as the “Lords of Chaos” carried out a series of escalating crimes that left a community searching for answers. What began as vandalism and arson ultimately led to the murder of beloved high school band director Mark Schwebes.

In this episode of Paradise After Dark: Missing & Unsolved, we revisit the full story—who they were, what happened, and the devastating impact left behind.

Thirty years later, this case still raises difficult questions about influence, warning signs, and how violence can escalate when it goes unchecked.

As we re-release this episode, we do so to remember the life that was lost, to honor the impact on this community, and to reflect on the lasting consequences. Because even after three decades, the story—and its ripple effects—are not forgotten.
