About this episode

The episode explores the bizarre case of a massive heist in Maretburg, Kentucky, involving two men and a fortune in gold, silver, and jewelry.

In the rural community of Maretburg, Kentucky, a small home held a massive secret: three-quarters of a million dollars in gold and silver bars, another $100,000 in jewelry, and a small arsenal of firearms. Sometime before April 9, 2026, that fortune vanished. Within days, two men—William Daniel Martin and Kristopher Fletcher—were in custody, but the case only grew more bizarre.
