The Deck Investigates

audiochuck

"The Deck Investigates" returns with Season 2, delving deep into the perplexing case of Ada Haradine, a 40-year-old mother of two who vanished without a trace from her Elkhart, Indiana home on a seemingly ordinary Wednesday afternoon in May 1985. Over 14 gripping episodes, we meticulously reconstruct the events leading up to Ada's disappearance, exploring the initial efforts to find her and the myriad of suspects and theories that emerged in the wake of her vanishing. The investigation takes a dramatic turn when Ada's remains are discovered three years later in a wooded area 12 miles from her home, transforming a missing persons case into a homicide investigation. As law enforcement scrambles to make sense of new evidence, the focus shifts to surprising potential suspects, including Ada's neighbor. Through exclusive interviews with family members, law enforcement, and key witnesses, "The Deck Investigates" grapples with questions about the challenges of pursuing justice decades after a crime. Join us as we peel back the layers of this baffling cold case, reexamine old leads, and shine a light on overlooked details in the quest to finally answer the question: Who killed Ada Haradine, and why?

The Deck Investigates

03/09/23 • 28 min

We sort through tips from 1984 that tell police to look at a man accused of the attempted rape and attempted murder of another Indiana woman that same year. A man named John Paul Clark. John had spent a few months in an Indiana prison before escaping less than two weeks before Darlene Hulse was killed. We go to his hometown to dig through records, interview one of his victims, and track him down to see if he will tell us where he was on August 17th, 1984.
