Crime, Cults, & Coffee

June 21, 2004 started out like any other work day for Jim Donnelly. The father of 2 left his New Zealand home and walked into work, only to never be seen again. Not only were the details surrounding his disappearance strange, but what was later discovered made it even more bizarre. 21 years later and there are still many pieces needed to begin to solve the puzzle of where Jim went. If you or someone you know has any information regarding the disappearance of Jim Donnelly on the morning of June 21, 2004 — please contact: • Inspector Dave Glossop david.glossop@police.govt.nz • Herald journalist Anna Leask anna.leask@nzme.co.nz • Or if you want to stay anonymous— contact Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111

Although Roswell is known for lighting the match with UFO sightings, it may not have actually been the first one (contrary to what we’ve believed for generations). In this episode, tune in as CCC covers the Trinity UFO case and all that comes with it. Taking place in 1945 New Mexico, it would have actually pre-dated Roswell by 2 years… if it in fact happened. This story is shrouded by conspiracy theories, as well as the most prominent question— is it a hoax? 👽

Listen in to this month's episode, as Joan (from Late Night Legends podcast) is BACK as a guest cohost and taking over CCC! Not only did she pick the case, but she's covering it as well. So sit back & listen in, as she delves into the story of Greenbrier Ghost. It involves murder, mayhem, misogyny, and the magic of a mother's intuition... or mediumship! We had a lot to process with this one. Let us know what YOU think.

TRIGGER WARNING: Contains mention of physical/sexual abuse & suicide. Grant Solomon endured more than most in his lifetime, as did his mom and sister. To say Grant was failed by the system and by some members of society… is a massive understatement. Recently turning 18, the summer of 2020 was supposed to be a pivotal moment for him for more reasons than one. Those opportunities were cut short when Grant tragically lost his life, in a way that is still unexplained to this day. We encourage you to listen to his story and to take action in any way possible, as Grant would have. Help to fight for answers for him and his family, in order to not have them let down by the system yet again. They deserve justice.
