Barbara Ann Hackman

On May 17, 1968, in Scott County, Kentucky, a man stumbled upon a tarp he thought he could salvage—only to find a woman whose identity would remain a mystery for nearly three decades. Who was she? How did she come to be left alone in that field? And what details were missed that might have connected her to her family sooner? In this episode, we explore the extraordinary path that led from an unmarked grave to the truth: the woman the world knew as “Tent Girl” was Barbara Ann Hackmann. How did her case inspire a determined young man to launch one of the earliest online sleuthing movements? What did her family learn once her identity was restored? And what legacy did her case leave for thousands of other unidentified victims? Tune in to uncover the full story.

Vacations are supposed to be carefree—a time to disconnect from stress and reconnect with loved ones.

No signs of struggle. No clear answers. How does someone disappear from a ship filled with thousands of people? And why, decades later, are there still whispers that Amy may be alive? This is the story of a young woman who set sail with her family… and never came home. Please consider supporting the pod by joining us over on our Patreon page!

FROM THE VAULT: The Boy of Somosierra

Often considered “The Strangest Missing Person’s Case in Europe,” this week we explore the case of Juan Pedro Martinez-- a boy who vanished under bizarre circumstances. A grandmother’s concern led to a full-scale investigation into a missing 10-year-old boy whose parents had just been involved in a deadly, and inexplicable, accident. In a case that involves corrosive acid, drug trafficking rumors, extra-terrestrial-looking strangers, and kidnapping speculations, truth is as elusive as information concerning young Juan Pedro’s fate.  Please consider supporting the pod by joining us over on our Patreon page!
