Case Closed? : A Father Daughter Podcast
In this podcast, my dad, Chris, and I take deep dives into unsolved, mysterious, and unexplained cases. From UFO sightings to murders to ghosts and so on, we investigate what really happened…
A Canadian college student doing a tour of the West Coast went missing. Three weeks later, she was found by a maintenance worker in a hotel water tank. Her death was ruled accidental drowning, but the odd circumstances and surveillance footage of her last known sighting have investigators and the public puzzled. Chris and Liv discuss the tragic death of Elisa Lam and the history of "America's Hotel Death".
In just 81 minutes, two thieves dressed up as cops stole thirteen pieces of artworks from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The pieces which total to over $500 million have yet to be found and the circumstances around the heist are suspicious... Was it an inside job? Organized crime? Chris and Liv search for answers as to where these artifacts could be today.
Do you leave your doors unlocked at night? One summer morning in 1912 eight people were found murdered in their small home in Villisca, Iowa. The massacre shook a small community and the bizarre circumstances and evidence left behind didn't answer any questions, but rather sparked more questions. Chris and Liv look into the horrific case of the Villisca Axe Murders and ask what happened to the Moore Family and the Stillinger sisters...
One day in the 1800s, a brig was cruising the Atlantic Sea when the crew aboard noticed another ship, the Mary Celeste, in the distance. To make sure the passengers were okay, the brig's crew boarded the Mary Celeste, but what they found was a vessel in ruins. The original 10 passengers aboard? Missing. The rooms? A mess. Chris and Liv talk about the strange circumstances and where the ten people on the Mary Celeste could have gone...
When the body of a young woman was found in 1947, no one realized how big this case would become. The gruesome details of her death and the events leading up to this Hollywood hopeful's murder are puzzling. Chris and Liv discuss one of the most infamous unsolved cases in the true crime community: the Black Dahlia.
In the early morning hours on Christmas in 1945, the Sodder family's Fayetteville home was burned to the ground leaving nothing but ashes and ruin. Out of George and Jennie's ten children, only five survived. The other five would be trapped inside the house as it was engulfed in flames. Yet when investigators arrived, there were no remains or any evidence that the five siblings died in the fire. Chris and Liv take a deep dive into the strange disappearance of the Sodder children and ask if they died in the fire that night or did something else occur entirely?
In February 1959, nine hikers set out on a journey that was supposed to be a fun way to unwind and explore the Ural Mountains in Russia. Instead, none of them returned and while investigators claim their deaths were from hypothermia, no one can explain the odd circumstances surrounding some of their deaths.
