Hi, this is Mike Morford. One of the producers is seen in the crime.

Few things are more devastating than a loved one going missing.

On the vanished podcast from Wondry, host Marissa Jones tells stories of missing persons

that have gone overlooked by mainstream media. She gets the story from friends and family

of the missing person and frequently talks with law enforcement and others close to the

case. Marissa wants to help families find their vanished loved ones or a sense of peace.

not the man they thought he was, and worse, that he may have disappeared on purpose.
