On a winter night in 1971, 13-year-old Kathy Gloddy walked her dog near her home in Franklin, New Hampshire. She never returned, but her dog did. Kathy Gloddy was beaten, strangled, and run over multiple times—a crime so brutal some investigators believe it couldn't have been the work of just one person. Her family believes this as well and points to multiple persons of interest who were known to the family. While much of the attention has focused on Ed Dukette, the neighbor who confessed and recanted, his involvement may just be a piece of a larger, darker puzzle. Kenneth Bonenfant is another person of interest in the case. His weak alibi and bizarre behavior after her murder causes the community question his involvement. This episode dives into the family's theory of multiple assailants, exploring the lives of other potential suspects and the persistent feeling that someone else knows the truth. Could there still be a killer—or killers—hiding in plain sight in Franklin, New Hampshire?#KathyGloddy #unsolved #truecrime #podcast #locatingthelost #FranklinNewHampshire

In this episode, we delve into the concerning case of Tyler D. Anderson and Sierra Frey from Maine, who are currently evading authorities while under investigation. Their story includes serious allegations of domestic abuse, child neglect, and child sexual abuse. After a brutal assault that required surgery for Frey, she initially sought help but later rejoined Anderson, abandoning her children and failing to appear for court dates. Anderson is considered dangerous and has a history of violence. He is believed to be driving a black 2010 Subaru hatchback with the license plate "PICK1E" and may be traveling with a large brindle bull mastiff dog. The episode will explore the details of their evasion, the impact on the abandoned children, and the public's role in helping authorities locate them to ensure safety and justice.#MAINE #TRUECRIME #WANTED #TYLERANDERSONSIERRAFREY #PODCAST

***We apologize for some issues with guest audio***Tela Amy Hart was reported missing on October 9, 2005, shortly after she left a friend's home on Lenfest Street in Presque Isle, Maine. Witnesses indicated that she headed toward the nearby Presque Isle Stream, and authorities speculated that she may have accidentally fallen into the water and drowned. The night of her disappearance was marked by rain, leaving the grass along the riverbank slick and treacherous. Officer Kevin Schumacher, accompanied by K-9 Hunter, was dispatched to search for her. The dog repeatedly led the officer to the water's edge, reinforcing the theory that Hart had slipped into the stream, prompting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.Despite extensive searches over the following months, no trace of Tela was found until May 18, 2007, when two fiddleheaders discovered her remains along the banks of the Aroostook River in Presque Isle. The discovery brought a somber conclusion to a long and painful search for her family. While the official ruling determined her death to be an accidental drowning, her loved ones have expressed deep skepticism about this conclusion. They believe that the evidence surrounding her disappearance and the subsequent discovery of her body suggests the possibility of foul play, raising questions about the thoroughness of the initial investigation.Tonight, we are joined by Tela's family, who are eager to share her story and articulate their concerns regarding the investigation into her death. They feel that critical details may have been overlooked and that a fresh examination of the case could uncover new insights. Their determination to seek justice for Tela reflects not only their love for her but also their hope that by reopening the investigation, they might finally uncover the truth behind her tragic end.#missing #unsolved #truecrime #maine #aroostookcounty #someoneknowssomething #locatingthelost

#coldcase #missingperson #truecrimecommunityTonight, we are joined by members of TEAMSTEFANIE, Bobbi and Stacey as we revisit the case of Stefanie Damron who's been missing for over 300 days.Stefanie Damron, a 14-year-old girl from New Sweden, Maine, vanished on September 23, 2024, under troubling circumstances. She was last seen leaving her home after a disagreement with her sister, walking into the dense woods along West Road. Concerned for her safety, her family reported her missing the very next day. At the time of her disappearance, Stefanie was described as petite, standing at 5 feet tall and weighing around 130 pounds. She had shoulder-length brown hair and striking green eyes, and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a long-sleeved blue shirt, and distinctive black Harley Davidson hiking boots, which may aid in identifying her.In the wake of her disappearance, extensive search operations were launched by both the Maine State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These efforts included thorough land searches, interviews with potential witnesses, and the pursuit of leads that extended beyond Maine, reaching into other parts of the United States and even Canada. Despite these comprehensive measures, Stefanie has not been found, leaving her family and the community in a state of distress. Local residents have rallied together, organizing vigils and search initiatives to support Stefanie's family and to keep her story alive, hoping to generate new leads that could lead to her safe return.In December 2024, the FBI took a significant step by announcing a reward of up to $15,000 for any information that could lead to Stefanie's safe return or the identification and prosecution of those responsible for her disappearance. The Bureau also placed her on their Most Wanted Kidnappings and Missing Persons list, underscoring the urgency and seriousness of the case. The community continues to hold onto hope, as they remain vigilant in their search for answers, determined to bring Stefanie home and to ensure that her story does not fade from public consciousness.#podcast #crime #truecrimecommunity #missingperson #missing #coldcase #interview #Maine #stefaniedamron #teamstefanie
