  • 245 - The Disappearance of Martha Leanne Green

    245 - The Disappearance of Martha Leanne Green
    Dec 3 2024
    On a cold, rainy spring night in April of 1987, seventeen year old Martha Leanne Green mysteriously vanished. After the car she and her brother were driving ran out of gas, Leanne remained behind in the car while her brother went to get help. Returning less than fifteen minutes later, the car was empty and Leanne has never been seen again.

    Investigators determined the seventeen year old had been abducted and several suspects were identified. One, in particular, was thought to have taken Leanne and committed similar crimes throughout the area. Law enforcement never collected enough evidence to charge the man and he took his secrets to his grave.

    What happened to Leanne Green? Was she abducted by a stranger or perhaps taken by someone she knew and believed she could trust? Or did the seventeen year old encounter a ruthless and brutal killer all alone on a dark, deserted highway?

  • 244 - The Vanishing of Loy Evitts

    244 - The Vanishing of Loy Evitts
    Sep 6 2024
    When twenty-nine year old Loy Evitts failed to return to her Kansas City, MO office job after taking a late lunch, her co-workers were concerned. When they found her car, parked in its assigned spot, but could find no trace of the woman, that concern transformed into worry. They quickly called her home and spoke to her husband, Don, who immediately knew something had to be wrong.

    The next day, Kansas City Police kicked off a massive search for Loy. They interviewed co-workers and friends, they went around town and established a timeline which showed everywhere and everything the woman had done. But they couldn't fill in a small window of time, five to ten minutes, and it's believed that is when she vanished.

    When an anonymous caller claimed responsibility for the crime, police quickly located and questioned him but they could never confirm whether he had knowledge of the crime or was just a sick prank caller. Forty-seven years later, Loy has never been found and her abductor has never been identified. To date, her disappearance is the longest unsolved missing persons investigation in the history of Kansas City.

Stop just covering missing females

I really like Steven Pacheco. He has a great narrative voice and researches his cases well. I appreciate he is trying to do a service to the victims he provides coverage to and I have to give him credit for that.
However almost 90% of his cases are missing females. It’s a sad statistic that those most like to be kidnapped and or brutally murdered are young women victims of male predators. As an avid true crime podcast listener it gets gutty listening to these cases repeatedly. Yes they need and deserve the important coverage of the true crime media world, but Steven please diversify a little. Even have a go at something like DB Cooper (I know it’s a well trodden path), or something outside of the box like the Brabant Killers or possible missing people from the 70’s that could be Gacy victims.
Just suggestions, please don’t box your content into similar (almost play and repeat) cases as your narration and research are too good to type cast yourself to one particular avenue of true crime.
