Kate read the book The Girls That Went Away by Ann Fessler after a family secret was revealed, a relative had placed a child for adoption in the 1960s. She felt the book was so helpful in understanding their painful experience, and has wanted to discuss it with Ann ever since.

Between 2002 and 2005, Fessler interviewed 100 women who lost children to adoption during the 28 years that followed WWII, when a perfect storm of circumstances led to an unprecedented 1.5 million surrenders. With the support of a 2003–2004 Radcliffe Fellowship at Harvard, Fessler continued interviewing as she researched the history of adoption and the social climate of the time. The result was her non-fiction book, The Girls Who Went Away (Penguin Press, 2006), which places the women’s stories within the social history of the era and her own story as an adoptee.

Medium and podcast host Jonathan Mark joins Kate to discuss three unsolved cases, two featured in volume 5 of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix.

Philadelphia high school teacher Susan Reinert was murdered in 1979, and her two children Karen and Michael have never been found.

On June 4, 2019, a pair of kayakers stumbled upon two dead bodies in the Cleveland Metroparks’ Rocky River Reservation. The two people, Carnell Sledge and Katherine Brown, were good friends who had met up in the park for reasons that remain unknown.

M.T. Anderson heard tales of cattle mutilation back when he was in high school. Mat Carter’s friend first heard about it in the 1970s. But in recent years, both ranchers have had firsthand experience with strange phenomenon, discovering some of their own livestock brutalized, with surgical-style incisions and tongues and/or organs missing. In each instance, there were no footprints or any indication that the cattle had been attacked by another animal. Perhaps strangest of all, there was no blood. There have been thousands of similar cases reported across the United States and Canada.
