Beyond the Horizon: Oklahoma Cases

The Disappearance of Ida Joanne Beard

In our very first episode of Beyond the Horizon: Oklahoma Cases, we dive into the disappearance of Ida Joanne Beard, a young Native American woman from El Reno who vanished more than twenty years ago. Ida spent her final day moving between family, friends, and three different houses — but the last place she was seen alive has remained shrouded in silence. Conflicting stories, alleged screams, cartel-connected locations, and a missing recording all point to a night full of unanswered questions. Join Charlia and Kyla as they walk through Ida’s timeline, the people involved, the red flags investigators couldn’t ignore, and the silence that still surrounds this case today. If you know something about what happened to Ida Beard… it’s not too late to speak.

In each episode, we walk through a case in detail — with respectful storytelling, on-topic conversation, and thoughtful discussion meant to help listeners truly know the victims as people, not just names.
