Today's episode is focused on two separate cases instead of the usual one and I interview two daughters, who are not related, but definitely know each other. One is Sam Moyer, whose mother Nancy went missing in Tenino, Washington in 2009. The other is Karlee Bodine, whose mother Karen was murdered in Rochester, Washington in 2007. While Nancy and Karen may have never known each other, their children have bonded over a shared fight - for justice. This is Washed Away.

On February 4th, 2003 a little girl left her home in Kennewick for a quick trip to the store, just a few blocks away. She was supposed to be getting in the car of a family friend who had just left, but when he later returned without her… the family realized that there had been a huge miscommunication. It’s the case that triggered the first-ever Amber Alert here in Washington state. This episode of Washed Away is about the disappearance of Sofia Juarez. And I talk to someone who was at the scene of the crime the night she went missing, Commander Randy Maynard. Show notes can be found at cosmicbigfoot.com/washedaway.

Spooky season is by far my favorite time of year, so I wanted to release a special episode of Washed Away to celebrate. You'll hear me talking to a paranormal investigator out of Spokane, Amanda Paulson, as she tells me about her experiences at some of Eastern Washington's most haunted locations. There's some history, mystery, ghosts, and even a little bit of murder. Consider this your content warning, though truly this episode is much more casual and lighthearted than usual... in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it and Happy Halloween!

This is an interesting and unique case because it doesn't involve a murder or a suicide - there wasn't necessarily anything nefarious going on at all - it was just a tragic accident that became an ongoing mystery. Who was the hitchhiker that died in a truck collision near Mount St. Helens in 1991? Let's try to find out on this episode of Washed Away. Detective Sergeant Stacy Moate and Carri Gordon, the Program Manager of the WSP Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit both help me tell this story. Show notes can be found at washedawaypodcast.com.

On this episode of Washed Away I’m covering what could possibly be the oldest and coldest, unsolved case in Seattle’s history. It involves dynamite, a widow, and over 60 years of mystery.

The Lake Stickney John Doe has been a mystery since 1994 when his body was found underwater in Snohomish County. Authorities knew so little about him they couldn’t even be sure he was caucasian… and oddly enough his race would change several times throughout the years as authorities tried to ID him. DNA recently gave him his name back - it’s Rodney Johnson - but we still don't know how he ended up in that lake or who killed him. This is Washed Away. You'll also hear from Forensic Artist, Natalie Murry. Show notes can be found at washedawaypodcast.com. (Content Warning: Murder)

One of the FBI’s major case files is an unsolved murder of Assistant United States Attorney, Thomas Wales, that happened in Seattle back in 2001. This is a case that had all the resources imaginable to solve it, tons of press attention, plus A MILLION DOLLAR REWARD, and yet… almost 19 years later… there are still so many unknowns. The Bureau recently charged someone in this case, but it wasn’t the murderer. Welcome to Washed Away. The hosts of Somebody Somewhere join me for this one.

A young mother was murdered in December of 1985 near Mineral, Washington. Her case has remained unsolved for over 3 decades… along with the murders of a couple that took place just four months earlier. These cases have been tied together somewhat by location but mostly because of tube socks found at the crime scenes. Are these cases actually connected? Well, that depends on who you ask. The show Unsolved Mysteries couldn’t even figure this one out, but soon DNA might finally reveal the truth… about what happened to Diana Robertson. This is Washed Away. Detective Beall from Lewis County's Cold Case Unit provides some updates. Show notes can be found at washedawaypodcast.com. (Content Warning: Murder, Domestic Violence)
