About this episode

The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of Charles Wilding and the subsequent investigation revealing a conspiracy involving murder and fraud.

In December 2020, the police received a call from a neighbor of 69 year old Charles Wilding, a reclusive man who lived by himself on Kingswood Road in Sherman Oaks, California. It seemed Charles disappeared from the neighborhood. But neighbors soon noticed someone new. A woman had moved into Charles’s house. Investigators would eventually uncover a conspiracy involving forged wills, false identities, paid impostors, stolen real estate, millions of dollars and a body dismembered and dissolved in acid.  If you have a case you would like me and my team to look into, you can reach us at the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.  IG: @hellandgonepod See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
