Donna Hall and Michael Margaret planned a weekend camping trip that they never came home from.

They'd less been seen at a friend's house, but the police believe they stopped somewhere else

before continuing on to the place where

their bodies would eventually be found. That in between place may be the key to cracking this

cold case. I'm Charlie and welcome to crime lines. Hello and welcome. As you were listening to this episode, I am two weeks away from leaving on my trip to South America.

And unfortunately, I did not get ahead on podcast things, or at least as ahead on podcast things as I had hoped.

So I am going to be altering the release schedule slightly to

accommodate both my traveling and my current stress levels, because really what's the point

I will let you know that there will not be an episode the first week in March. And for those on Patreon,

Supercast and Apple Podcasts, there will also only be one Beyond the Files episode in March. But to make

it up to you, I will do an extra one at some point between April and June when I'm back to my routine.

So you won't be missing any content. And those who have been supporters on those platforms for a while

can tell you that I have never shorted you on the promise bonus content. Nearly six years of

crime lines, and the content goes up without fail. So you can trust me when I say that the

episode's going to come out, it just won't be in March. And with those

programming notes out of the way, I want to go ahead and get into this episode by first, thanking

Haley Gray Research for helping with the research on this case, and to give a shout out to my

friends over at the Mind Over Murder podcast, who covered this case through multi-part interviews. I'm going to leave a link

in the show notes so that you can find them because I really want you to check the podcast out.

One of the hosts, Bill and I saw each other most recently at the Berkshire Podcast Festival in October,

and we tried to take a picture together, but the two of us kept cutting up so
