This week we’re discussing the deaths of Michael Harden and Stacy Bales Sullivan. Michael’s death is considered an accidental drowning, but his family disagrees with that finding. Stacy’s manner of death has been ruled as undermined, though evidence at the scene might suggest otherwise.

If you have any information related to either of their deaths please contact the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office at 256-574-2610 or submit an anonymous tip on their website.

You may also contact us by email through our website with our contact form on alcoldcase.com.

Hello loyal listeners! We have a short announcement and some brief updates for you.

First, we are sharing a few case updates for the recent arrest in the Monica and Dalton Rollins case and a heartbreaking family update on the George James case regarding his son Derek Burnette. We also wanted to mention a couple of cases we haven’t covered yet, an arrest in Mary Elizabeth Isbell’s case, and a small mention regarding Natalie Holloway’s ongoing case.

Also, though we love to be here every week, we will be on a short hiatus to recharge and catch up on the backlog for our ACCA cases and tasks. We want to be sure we are bringing you thoughtful and quality content with strong research. We will be back on 7/20/23. 

We’re still going to be around on social media with ACCA pages and our website, but we will have a new Unforgotten episode when we return on the 20th.  This is a great opportunity for you to catch up on any missed episodes or relisten to your favorites!

If you have any information on our cases mentioned today please call in your tips:

In Ep. 20 of #Unforgotten, we delve into the perplexing case of Ryles Chapman, a man who mysteriously disappeared from Dothan, Alabama in 2013. Join us as we uncover the details surrounding his vanishing and share the heartfelt perspectives of those closest to him.

Join Sellers and Stormy along with Amanda Morrow and Ashley Solomon. Two granddaughters who after 28 years are still searching for answers to what happened on May 15, 1995, when their beloved grandfather, 72-year-old Army veteran Aaron Toole vanished. A seemingly normal trip planned to see his sister and brother in Florida never came to fruition, and the heartwrenching mystery has left his family to mourn and remain in limbo until they can finally bring him home. Where is Aaron Toole? #JamesAaronToole https://www.facebook.com/JamesAaronTooleMissingPerson.

**UPDATE 9/29/23 - James, fondly called "Papa" by his granddaughters, has been located. The confirmation of his remains came not long after parts of his car, identifying items and partial remains were located by divers who were conducting continued recovery efforts #HurricaneIdalia in the Steinhatchee River. Here is a statement posted on James' Facebook page from his family at the time of this announcement: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15msPjzajh/

This week we conclude our discussion with Michael Fleming from Echo 7 Foxtrot & Secrets True Crime regarding the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Army Specialist Chad Wayne Langford. What began as a routine patrol stop to assist a stalled vehicle at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL, took an unexpected turn, forever altering the course of events. Military Police discovered Chad outside his patrol car, a victim of a gunshot wound to the head. However, his family vehemently challenges the Army's ruling of suicide, as Chad had claimed to be working undercover on a covert drug investigation.  

If you haven't listened to Parts 1 & 2 yet, please consider doing so before taking this last ride to the scene of discovery and beyond in this intriguing conclusion. A map and timeline have been posted on our Unforgotten Patreon channel for Brush Pass subscribers.

If you have any information related to the death of SPC Chad Langford, please contact Army CID, Redstone Arsenal Resident Unit at 256-876-7592 or 256-876-2037, HQ, Department of the Army CID at 571-305-4000, or Echo 7 Foxtrot Confidential Tipline, via text message or phone, at 205-282-0740 or ⁠[email protected]⁠.  You may also submit anonymous tips on the ⁠Army CID website⁠.

If you haven't listened to Part 1 first yet, we highly recommend doing so as it will provide valuable context for our discussion today. We delved into Chad’s background, military history, the noticeable changes in his behavior reported by friends and family, and events that may have triggered those changes, providing a backdrop for Parts 2 & 3.

We humbly honor the courageous men and women of the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our nation. Thank you one and all.
