Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.

I am TG Wolff and I’m here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.

Our social media is alive and kicking. Check out Instagram @mysteriestodiefor (all spelled out) and on Facebook @m2d4podcast for the pulse on the shows happenings. And explore our website, M2D4Podcast.com for all our episodes and authors.

The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder.

This is Episode 23, something is the featured crime. This is Detective Connolly Gets Filmed in 4K by Jack Wolff

Well, Connolly’s gotten himself into another fine mess. He knows Danny Slaw is the bad guy…but what’s his crime?

• Kidnapping, ’cause there’s a missing person
• Smuggling, ’cause there’s a tunnel
• Menacing, ’cause there’s a creepy house
• Coercion, ’cause something’s scaring Silva
• Conspiracy, ’cause Danny isn’t working alone

Here’s what Connolly (thinks) he knows:

• Husband and father Marvin Young disappeared from Mackinac Island. He was last seen going into an abandoned house after an argument with his wife. Recently, there have been Marvin sightings. Locals think it’s his ghost.
• Marvin had a good friend, Jenna, who worked on the docks. She left Mackinac shortly after Marvin disappeared, and showed up in Montana.
• Deputy Dippersby shared the file with Connolly. Dorthy called Shaw to let him know Connolly was investigating.
• Almost a year after Marvin disappeared, Danny Shaw arrived on the island with a grant to make a documentary about Marvin.
• Silva Young admits to arguing with Marvin. He wanted to turn their spare bedroom into an art studio while she wanted it for soon-to-come baby.
• In the old house, Connolly is warned against going into the basement because Deputy Dippersby said it could collapse.
• Connolly discovers a tunnel in the basement. When he investigates, Shaw locks him in. It leads to a harbor.

Turn up the collar on your trenchcoat and decide: What do we collar Shaw for?
