    "Miss, you’d better look at that note. I have a bomb."

    In November 1971, a man in a suit boarded a flight from Portland to Seattle, calmly handed a note to a flight attendant, and claimed he had a bomb. He demanded $200,000 in cash, four parachutes, and a fuel truck on standby. Hours later, somewhere over the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, he opened the rear stairway of the plane and vanished into the night.

    Was it a fatal leap, the perfect getaway, or the birth of a new identity? Fifty years later, no one knows who Dan Cooper really was, what became of him, or if he ever touched the ground alive. But the theories haven't stopped... and neither has the obsession.

    "I don't believe in any nonsense... but I'll keep an open mind. Out here, who knows?"

    In July of 1970, an Athena RTV rocket was launched from Green River, Utah. Containing the radioactive element cobalt-57, the rocket was supposed to arc harmlessly down in White Sands, New Mexico. But instead it went rogue, streaking south over the Mexican border to a desolate area near the Durango-Chihuahua state line.

    This location, known by many as the "Zone of Silence," has long held a reputation for the unexplained. Dating back to the 1800s, local homesteaders have claimed to witness "hot pebbles" tumbling from the sky. Planes have crashed here, meteorites fall with surprising regularity, and walkie-talkies reportedly malfunction within this sprawling desert. "Mexico's Bermuda Triangle," some have come to call it...

    "We have no idea how many other victims are out there, past and present."

    In April 2013, relatives of 53-year-old Laura Howard began to grow concerned. She wasn't responding to any phone calls, and the tone of her text messages changed. It felt as if someone else was texting with her phone. She'd even failed to pick up her son from the airport and wasn't responding to any of her neighbors' knocks at the door. Her curtains were drawn and her vehicle was missing.

    Police, having briefly dropped by Laura's home in April, returned again in early May. Entering inside, they were shocked at what they found: Laura's decomposing body covered with towels in her bathtub, the air conditioner set to its lowest setting. The house had been carefully staged to avoid detection for as long as possible. Missing from the scene, though, was Laura's new housemate, an enigmatic man calling himself "Simon Storm"...

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.
