Our True Crime Podcast

In November 2019, hikers traveling through a remote mountain region in British Columbia discovered a burned-out truck abandoned on a rugged forest trail. The area lies deep within the Tolkien Range, far away from any roads and even farther from the life of the man who owned the vehicle.

The truck belonged to 26-year-old IT student Marshal Iwaasa, who had last been seen nearly 700 miles away in Alberta. How his truck ended up there and what happened to him remains a mystery.

Just days later, another man, Daniel Reock, disappeared under strange circumstances not far from the same region.

Are these two cases connected, or is it a chilling coincidence?

Join Cam and Jen as they discuss '700 Miles to Nowhere: Marshal Iwassa.'

On the morning of September 11, 1979, nineteen-year-old Micki Jo West left her mother’s home in St. Joseph, Missouri, as she had every morning. She wore her nurse’s aide uniform, pulled on a khaki coat, carried her white purse, and adjusted her glasses, marked with her name on the right lens. Bright, outgoing, and compassionate, she had a quick laugh and a warmth that drew people to her. She walked the familiar four-block route to the bus stop that would take her to St. Joseph State Hospital.

She never made it.

Thank you, Petra, for the episode suggestion.

In 1990, a teenage girl escaped from a house in Pretoria, South Africa, narrowly avoiding an unimaginable fate. Her story revealed that she was not the first of several young girls taken under suspicious circumstances.

Evidence suggested the girls were being held and moved, possibly for a wider trafficking network that spanned beyond the city. Despite investigations, no remains were ever recovered, and the true scope of what happened remains unknown.

Almost 40 years later, the disappearances remain unsolved, leaving a shadow over the city and haunting questions about the children who were never found.

Join Jen & Cam as they discuss The Missing Six & The Monster of Melherbe Street.

In this month’s special, Cam and Jen talk with Hopper from Final Trace.

In the summer of 1986, 18-year-old Brent Brand went to a party in Vincennes, Indiana, and never made it home.

Eight days later, across state lines, Brent’s body was found face down in a drainage ditch. No injuries. No clear cause of death.

What began as a missing-person case soon spiraled into something bigger: accusations, rumors, and more than 30 witnesses — including police officers — drawn into the investigation.

Listen as Hopper returns to his hometown to revisit a mystery still shadowed by unanswered questions and a silence that refuses to fade.

Don’t forget to subscribe to Hopper’s podcast, Final Trace. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
