  • The Dardeen Family

    The Dardeen Family
    May 18 2025
    "I believe it was a very personal, deliberate thing."

    On 16 November 1987, the three-member Dardeen family returned to their rural home in Ina, Illinois after a weekend away. As Thanksgiving approached, 30-year-old Elaine, 29-year-old Keith, and 3-year-old Peter spent two days visiting with Elaine's family in nearby Albion. Elaine, nearing the end of her second pregnancy, expected to give birth to a baby girl named Casey in the near-future.

    Days later, though, Keith was a complete no-show for work. A usually punctual and responsible man, Keith's absence was noted by his coworkers and supervisors, who began trying to get in contact with Keith and his family. This led police to the young family's home that Wednesday evening, November 18th, where they discovered a crime scene beyond this small town's comprehension...

  • "The Buzzer" (UVB-76)

    "The Buzzer" (UVB-76)
    May 11 2025
    "There's absolutely no information in the signal."

    For decades now, an odd and mysterious audio signal has operated on the shortwave spectrum. Since the late 1970s, a strange pulsating sound has repeated at 4625 kilohertz. There is never a formal introduction. There are no hosts or music. Only on occasion will a voice step in, and when it does, it reads off some words and names in a monotonous Russian accent before disappearing once more.

    No country or agency has ever attempted to claim or explain the signal. Rumors persist about its purpose: everything from a "dead hand" nuclear deterrent controlled by the Russian government to a channel marker acting as a placeholder. However, after more than four decades, the signal's meaning remains unknown to the world at large...

  • The Lead Masks Case (Part Two: Seekers

    The Lead Masks Case (Part Two: Seekers
    Apr 27 2025
    "I have no doubt they died of an experiment with psychic forces for which they were ill-prepared and which turned out to be fatal."

    By the end of 1967, the official investigation into the Lead Masks Case was brought to a close. The final police report listed the cause of death for both Miguel José Viana and Manoel Pereira da Cruz as undetermined.

    There was no evidence of foul play. No external injuries. No signs of trauma. The bodies had not been robbed, nor had they been bound or restrained. No crime, as defined by Brazilian law, had seemingly taken place...

I followed this podcast for a long time back when it was only on YT. I've always loved it. It is creepy, well-researched and well-told and always interesting. I lost track of it for a long time and assumed he'd just given it up and didn't even think to look for it, duh. I was thrilled to stumble across it here and what's better a year or two worth of cases I haven't heard yet.

I remember loving it back in the day when true crime podcasts were just starting to explode. Michael was so free of the silliness and disrespect of so many TC podcasts. It was straightforward and factual but never boring. To me it is on the same level as Casefile but I think even better researched. He's one of the best and most long lasting in the field.

My one criticism is he does talk a bit too fast. But now I can slow it down lol so it's fine.
