Introducing “Missing Niqui McCown,” the 2001 disappearance of a 28-year-old woman who vanished three weeks before her wedding.

The final known moments of Niqui’s whereabouts were captured by a surveillance camera in a laundromat in Richmond, Indiana. Detectives have spent 22 years trying to piece together what happened next. They would find plenty of leads (her car turned up five months later in Dayton, OH) and many suspects (including a former police officer) but they have not found Niqui. A windy trail of clues has led to what some would call a definitive answer, but investigators caution: things might not be what they seem.

This podcast dives deep into the archives, analyzes evidence never publicly seen, and includes new interviews with those who knew Niqui best. All in hopes of rekindling public interest, generating fresh leads, and ultimately bringing long-overdue justice to the McCown family.

In August 2005, a pregnant Jefferson County, Missouri woman disappeared. Amanda Jones' family says she went to meet Bryan Westfall, the man she believed to be the father of her unborn child. She never returned home. Thirteen years later, Fox 2 is interviewing Jones' family and meeting with the investigators who are still working on this case.

Each year 2,400 people, on average, get lost in the wilderness in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 90% of those that become lost are found alive, 8 % are located deceased, and the other 2% simply vanish without a trace.
Our host Tanner Hoskins, co-Founder of Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search and Executive Director at Pacific Northwest Missing Persons Project (PNWMPP) shares the mysterious true stories of adults and children who inexplicably disappeared while recreating in the great outdoors of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Tanner will share the stories of these missing persons as well as our own expeditions into the area these people were last seen or known to be.
We hope that by telling these stories we can help foster a community driven in bringing answers and closure to these grieving families.
Tanner will also share stories from our organization's own personal expeditions into the wilderness in search of signs of Sasquatch activity and following-up on reports of reported bigfoot activity.
