In Episode 25 of The Search, Marc & Al examine one of the North Shore’s most haunting unsolved cases. In December of 1974, 15-year-old Henry Bedard Jr. left his Swampscott, Massachusetts home on what should have been an ordinary afternoon. He never returned.

Tiff breaks down what it feels like to move through the Triangle, how energy lingers in land marked by trauma, why the area seems to produce an unusually high number of mediums, and how she approaches missing persons and violent cases connected to the region — all while grounding the conversation in personal stories, intuition, and years of firsthand encounters. If you listened to Part 1, this episode adds context, depth, and answers.  If you didn’t — fair warning — you may want to go back before stepping into the Triangle again.

In Episode 23 of The Search, Marc and Al sit down with Spirit Tiff (Tiffany Rice), a professional spirit medium with over a decade of experience, for an in-depth and honest conversation about what mediumship actually is—and what it isn’t. Tiff breaks down the difference between psychics and mediums, explains how intuition works, and addresses common misconceptions about ghosts, future-telling, and “Hollywood” portrayals of the paranormal. The conversation explores mediumship as a potential healing tool in the grieving process, including when (and when not) people should seek a reading after losing a loved one. The episode also dives into true crime, including how mediums can contribute to investigations, whether time weakens a reading, and Tiff’s past impressions related to high-profile cases like Maura Murray. Along the way, she shares personal stories, ethical boundaries, skeptical encounters, and what it’s really like to do readings in unconventional settings. This is a grounded, thoughtful discussion about intuition, energy, grief, and the limits—and responsibilities—of spiritual work, even for those who remain skeptical.
