Tom's Loop

In 2016, a popular high school senior mysteriously disappeared on the night before Thanksgiving. His remains were found two years later. What happened to Tom Brown in the small town of Canadian, Texas that night? It seems everyone in town’s become a suspect, including Tom’s family, friends, the local sheriff, and a high-flying private investigator. Acclaimed writer Skip Hollandsworth digs into the mystery that’s torn this town apart in this eight-part true crime podcast series. From the Texas Monthly team behind “Boomtown”—a popular eleven-part podcast series about the culture and economy of the West Texas oil fields—“Tom Brown’s Body” is the first narrative podcast series from Hollandsworth.

An Update from Skip

"I'm definitely more paranoid wherever I go. I definitely watch my back more and pay attention to what's going on around me."

The Remains

"The people of the town are calling us and saying, 'Do we have a monster that lives in our community?' I wish I could give them Solace."

The Wake

"I'm like, 'What the heck is that?' So, I walk around some shrubs, and as I get closer I can see that it kind of looks like bone."
