THE STORY BEHIND APRIL FOOL'S DAY

Welcome to the Forgotten News podcast. This is your window to hear true stories from long ago. Stories that once made headlines. Stories that people thought would be unforgettable, but soon were lost in the sands of time, or were buried deep in the dustbin of history. In this podcast, we brush off the sand and dust, and share those stories with you, today — as fresh as when they were first told.

History

Society & Culture

Approximately a half century ago, a young female Navy officer vanished without a trace. The incident remains completely unsolved, and extremely puzzling.
