MYSTERIOUS DEATH: Tom Brown - Canadian, TX

Episode 57: MYSTERIOUS DEATH: Tom Brown - Canadian, TX | Suicide, Murder or Cover up? The night before Thanksgiving in 2016, 18-year-old Tom Brown left to hang out with friends in the tiny town of Canadian, Texas, and never came home. What followed was a years-long mystery involving scattered evidence, investigative errors, shocking theories, and a case that raises more questions than it answers. Episode Summary Tom Brown was the kind of person everyone knew in Canadian, Texas. Funny, kind, and involved in football, theater, church, and student leadership, the 18-year-old senior had big plans for his future, including a dream of working in sports broadcasting. But on November 23, 2016, the night before Thanksgiving, Tom disappeared after leaving friends and stopping for gas on his way home. Hours later, his abandoned vehicle was discovered near a water treatment plant just miles from home, but Tom was gone. Over the next several years, investigators uncovered a baffling trail of evidence: a backpack found miles away, a cell phone discovered nearly a year later in suspicious condition, scattered belongings, conflicting witness statements, and partial remains eventually identified as Tom. Despite thousands of investigative hours, forensic testing, and years of scrutiny, officials initially could not determine whether Tom’s death was homicide, suicide, or an accident. Then came explosive claims, controversy surrounding the investigation, allegations of cover-ups, and later findings that shifted the direction of the case entirely. In this episode, Kinsley and Mercedes unravel the timeline, the investigation failures, competing theories, and the unsettling questions that continue to haunt one of Texas’s most perplexing mysteries. If you have any information, please contact the Texas Attorney General Criminal Investigation Division: (512) 463-2100 or Klein Investigations: (409) 729-8798 Encourage the Texas Attorney General to reopen Tom’s case and classify it as a homicide. The more noise we make, the harder it is to ignore.

Dive into the mystery that refuses to rest and uncover why justice has yet to be served. Episode Summary In the spring of 1993, Carlos Medina was thriving in Kodiak, Alaska.

*Bonus Minisode* MISSING: David Alex - Kihei, HI

Episode 55: Bonus Minisode MISSING: David Alex - Kihei, HI A simple moped accident on a beautiful island. But did it lead to something far more? Episode Summary This week, we’re heading back to Maui, where paradise and heartbreak continue to collide. Hawaii ranks among the top states for missing persons cases per capita, and Maui in particular has seen an unsettling number of disappearances that leave more questions than answers. We begin with the story of David Alex, a 20-year-old from Crystal Lake, Illinois, who moved to Maui in November 2016. David was incredibly close with his family, especially his mom, Monica, and talking to her every day was part of his routine. Just days after arriving on the island, David bought a moped and started a new job at OfficeMax. But on November 8th, he was involved in a moped accident that left the scooter damaged and his phone broken. His injuries seemed minor, but after that day, his family never heard from him again. Three days later, someone believed to be David attempted to buy a new phone but entered the wrong PIN and couldn’t complete the purchase. His card was used one final time that same day, then suddenly…nothing. No transactions. No calls. No sign of his moped, laptop, GoPro, or David himself. His family fears an undiagnosed head injury may have left him confused or vulnerable. Over the years, there have been possible sightings, including reports near Kihei and Kahului, but nothing has led to answers. Like Khaira’s family, David’s family still celebrates his birthdays every year and refuses to stop searching. We also discuss Winston Kalani Torres-Kamai, who disappeared after attending a party in Makawao in February 2010. Witnesses reported a possible altercation involving stolen artwork, and some say they saw Winston walking away with two unknown men before he vanished. More than 15 years later, he has never been seen again. Then we cover the suspicious death of John Picanco, a father whose body was found near a beach volleyball court in Kihei in August 2022. Initially labeled an unattended death, his case was later reclassified as a homicide after an autopsy raised concerns. His family has spoken publicly about their frustration and their belief that not enough is being done to bring answers or justice. Cases like these leave families suspended between hope and heartbreak, still waiting for phone calls that never come and answers that never arrive. If you have any information regarding David Alex, contact the Maui Police Department at 808-244-6400 or Maui Crime Stoppers at 808-242-6966. For information regarding John Picanco, contact Detective Kamuela Mawae at 808-875-5411.
