Okay So...Pod

OOF! It has been a rough Mercury Gatorade, or whatever it's called. But we are back and should be stabilized going forward. Crossing our fingers and knocking on wood and whatever else we need to do! Again today, nobody asked our specific opinions, but...we are giving them anyway. Don't worry, there is plenty of tea here! Let us know if you like this format. Or if you have some tea to spill or are looking for advice, shoot us an email at [email protected]. All identifying information will be changed.

CW: mentions murder and possible sexual assault
Prior to the summer of 1996, Blair Adams of Surrey, British Columbia seemed to have a lot going for him. He had many friends, a job he enjoyed and was good at, and was close with his family. However, in June, something happened that started Blair to change drastically. Confiding in friends, he said someone was out to kill him. When his mother asked if he was alright, he was evasive. After a couple of failed attempts, Blair made it to the US and made a cross-country, nonsensical journey where it seems his deepest fear came true. Join us as we look further into this 28-year-old unsolved case.

The young girl walked from her family’s modest apartment toward the home of her friend that was just three short blocks away. As she bounded down the sidewalk, she was clutching a newly acquired treasure she had just received from her aunt. Her mother, Laura, watched as the girl turned to smile at her, and wave goodbye, It was unseasonably warm and the radiant sunlight bounced off the girl’s short hair, making it shine impossibly bright. Christie would be home in time for dinner, she promised. And Christie never broke a promise. Laura watched her daughter until she was no longer in view, and, satisfied her daughter was safe on her path, Laura closed the door and set about spending the afternoon with her younger son. Little did Laura realize that in just a few short hours, her world would be turned completely upside down.
Our BOLO this week is Michael Joseph "Monkey" Vaughn, missing from Fruitland, Idaho. If you know where little Michael may be, please call the Fruitland Police Department and give her family some peace.
