Up and Vanished

Where Things Stand in Up and Vanished

There has been meaningful movement behind the scenes in Up and Vanished. Because of the serious and legal nature of what is unfolding, we are being deliberate with the next update. More is coming soon. In the meantime, I want to introduce Season 2 of my investigative series High Strange. It’s my passion project exploring UFOs and the unexplained through the same journalistic lens, storytelling, and production you expect from Up and Vanished. If you are looking for another real mystery to dive into while we prepare the next official update, this episode includes a little preview from the new season of High Strange. You can listen to High Strange right now wherever you listen to podcasts. Thank you for sticking with us.

26 | This is the Captain Speaking

For the entire season, a few voices have been conspicuously absent; never speaking with Up and Vanished. In this final episode, we present a recording that changes everything. For the first time, we hear directly from them. What they say adds a crucial new dimension to the investigation. Joseph’s family deserves answers. Someone knows what happened.

25 | Final Boarding Call

After months of investigating the disappearance of Joseph Balderas in Nome, Alaska, Payne Lindsey presents a comprehensive examination of everything that doesn't add up. In this penultimate episode, we systematically lay out the contradictions, every inconsistency, every conflicting account, every gap in the timeline of Joseph's last known hours. The evidence speaks for itself, and what it says demands answers. This is Part 1 of the Season 4 finale. The investigation has led us somewhere unexpected, and what comes next changes everything.
