episode The Vanishing at Lake Oconee: The Dermond Murders artwork

The Vanishing at Lake Oconee: The Dermond Murders

On the afternoon of Saturday 3 May 2014, neighbours in the exclusive gated community of Reynolds Great Waters at Lake Oconee, Georgia, gathered for a Kentucky Derby watch party. Two of the invited guests never arrived. Three days later, a neighbour found 88 year old Russell Dermond's decapitated body in the garage of his million dollar lakefront home. His head was missing. His 87 year old wife Shirley was nowhere to be found. Ten days later, fishermen discovered Shirley's body floating in Lake Oconee, weighed down with cinder blocks. There were no signs of forced entry. Nothing was stolen. The community's security cameras were not recording. Twelve years on, Russell's head has never been found, no arrests have ever been made, and the FBI calls it one of the strangest cases they have ever investigated. Someone walked into that house. Someone knows what happened. You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here [linktr.ee/one_minute_remaining] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

episode Where is Shelly? artwork

Where is Shelly?

Michele Diane "Shelly" Miscavige was once one of the most powerful women in the Church of Scientology—the wife of its leader, David Miscavige, and a commanding figure within the organisation's elite Sea Org division. But in August 2005, Shelly vanished from public view following a reported confrontation with her husband. For years, no one outside Scientology's inner circle saw or heard from her. Her disappearance sparked intense speculation, celebrity involvement, and even a missing person's report filed by actress Leah Remini in 2013. The Church insists Shelly is alive, well, and working at a secret Scientology compound in California—but she hasn't been seen in public for nearly two decades. This is the story of Shelly Miscavige—a woman who rose to the heights of power within one of the world's most secretive organisations, only to disappear without a trace.

The Baby in White Robes: The 42-Year Search for Holly Clouse

January 12, 1981. A dog wandered into the woods north of Houston and returned home carrying a decomposed human arm. Search parties found two bodies. A young man, bound and beaten to death. A young woman, strangled and posed in prayer. For 40 years, they remained unidentified. Buried in anonymous graves. Forgotten. Until genetic genealogy finally gave them their names: Harold Dean Clouse Junior, 21, and Tina Gail Linn Clouse, 17. A young couple from Florida who had moved to Texas with their one-year-old daughter, Holly. But when the families learned the truth, they asked one question investigators had never considered: where is the baby? No infant's body had been found with Dean and Tina. No Baby Doe cases matched. Had she been taken by the killers? Was she still alive? The search led to barefoot women in white robes, a nomadic religious cult called the Christ Family, and a baby left at an Arizona church. This is the story of a 42-year mystery, a daughter who grew up not knowing her own name, and a reunion that defied all odds.

The Vanishing Scientists: Ten Disappearances, One Terrifying Pattern

February 27, 2026. Albuquerque, New Mexico. Retired Air Force Major General William McCasland left his home between 11:10am and 12:04pm. He took his wallet, hiking boots, a .38-calibre revolver, and a red backpack. He left behind his phone, glasses, and wearable devices. Seventeen days later, despite helicopters, drones, search dogs, and 700 homes canvassed, there was no trace of him. But McCasland was not the first. Six months earlier, government contractor Steven Garcia walked out of his Albuquerque home carrying only a handgun. He left his phone, wallet, keys, and car behind. He was never seen again. Monica Reza disappeared whilst hiking in California. Anthony Chavez vanished from Los Alamos. Melissa Casias was last seen walking on a highway, her phones wiped clean. By April 2026, the list had grown to ten. Ten scientists, government contractors, and military experts. All connected to America's most classified nuclear and aerospace programmes. All disappeared or dead under mysterious circumstances. And on April 16, 2026, the White House announced it was investigating. This is the mystery of the vanishing scientists.

episode The Man Who Vanished from His Chair artwork

The Man Who Vanished from His Chair

On a warm June evening in 1768, a 69-year-old paralysed man named Owen Parfitt sat outside his sister's cottage in Shepton Mallet, England, dressed in his nightshirt and propped up on his folded greatcoat. Just a dozen yards away, farm workers laboured in full view of the porch. Around 7 PM, Owen's elderly sister Mary and a young neighbour, Susannah Snook, went inside to fetch him before an approaching storm. Minutes later, they returned to find Owen gone. The chair remained. The greatcoat remained. But Owen Parfitt—a man who couldn't move by himself—had vanished. The farm workers had seen nothing. Heard nothing. An exhaustive search through the storm and the days that followed found no trace. Owen had been a sailor in his youth, regaling locals with wild tales of piracy, smuggling, and black magic across Africa, America, and the high seas. Mary went to her grave believing the Devil had taken her brother as payment for his wicked life. Others suspected "men from Bristol" had silenced him to claim hidden treasure or stop his garrulous tales. Investigations in 1813, 1814, and 1933 uncovered no answers. More than 250 years later, Owen Parfitt's disappearance remains one of England's most baffling unsolved mysteries. Did the Devil claim him? Was he murdered? Or is there another explanation buried somewhere in the fields of Shepton Mallet?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
