Violence against young women is, tragically, not uncommon. Crimes like these have taken place throughout history. But the murders of Mary Ashford and Barbara Forrest have drawn particular attention because the circumstances surrounding their deaths were eerily similar, even though the second murder occurred 157 years later. Both Mary and Barbara were 20 years old. Both were found dead in the same area of Erdington, just outside Birmingham, after having gone out dancing the night before. And the similarities do not end there, which has led many to question whether this was simply a strange coincidence or something far more unsettling.

In May 1968, the body of a young woman was discovered in a ditch outside Georgetown, Kentucky. She was naked and wrapped in a green canvas tent bag. No one knew who she was. Despite extensive police efforts, the years passed without answers. The woman became known only as “Tent Girl”, and her identity remained a mystery for three decades. Then a teenager named Todd Matthews began digging into the case. His persistent search, which would last more than ten years, did not only lead to her identification. It also became the beginning of something larger, a movement to restore names to the dead and answers to the living. This is the story of “Tent Girl”, and of the person who refused to let her remain unknown.

Monday, 21 June 2004 began like any other day. 43-year-old Jim Donnelly drove to work at the Glenbrook Steel Mill, just outside Auckland, New Zealand. He said goodbye to his wife, Tracey, and the couple’s two children. Once he arrived, he clocked in, changed into his work uniform, and then vanished without a trace. More than twenty years have now passed, and Jim has never clocked out. To this day, no one knows where he went, why he disappeared, or whether he ever even left his workplace that morning.

Hawaii is often associated with golden beaches, vacations, and tranquillity. A place long regarded as unusually safe, far removed from the violence that so often dominates headlines in other parts of the United States. By the late 1990s, Honolulu was often described as one of America’s safest major cities. But on the morning of Tuesday, 2 November 1999, that sense of security was suddenly shattered. In an office complex along Nimitz Highway, the working day began as normal. None of the employees present could have known that the events about to unfold would later be described as the deadliest mass shooting in the history of Hawaii.

PLEASE NOTE: This is the last episode of season 1. We will be back again in the new year with a brand new season. Thank you for listening!

24 January 1984 began like any other Tuesday. Nineteen-year-old Tim Molnar left his family home in Daytona Beach, Florida, and dropped his younger brother off at school. He was then supposed to continue on to university, but Tim would never arrive that day. Instead, he vanished, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. Some years later, Tim’s remains were discovered in a remote wooded area in Wisconsin, more than 1,200 miles from home. Although his death was eventually confirmed beyond any doubt, the circumstances surrounding it remain unresolved. More than forty years later, no one can say with certainty what happened to Tim Molnar, nor why he chose, or perhaps did not choose, to leave Florida that day.

On December 16th, 2000, 31-year-old Mike Williams left home at dawn to go duck hunting. It was one of his greatest passions in life, something he did often and something he truly loved. But this day would not be like all the others. Mike never returned home after that trip. He disappeared without a trace, and what followed would become a mystery that lasted seventeen years. It wasn’t until 2017 that Mike’s family finally got the answers they had been waiting for all those years, when investigators were at last able to uncover what had actually happened to him, and why he never came home that morning.
