For those new to the page, welcome! To bring a little context, this page involves three different cases I've investigated since 2021. The first case is Tammy Haas, who went missing on September 18th, 1992, outside of Yankton, South Dakota. Her case is the first season of the podcast. The second case involves John Woodward. His case is unique- we investigated his claims of being wrongfully convicted twice in Minnesota. What we found was alarming.
The third case, still being worked, is Voni Safranski. She went missing after attending a Halloween party in Warren, MN, on October 26th, 1996. She was last seen getting into a black Dodge pickup driven by Kevin Skjerven. 99% of the posts for the past year involve this case...and 'he' is usually Kevin Skjerven.
To read the records I've found, look up Footsteps in the Dark Patreon. For just $8, you can read hundreds of pages of records...and thousands of pages from the previous two cases. This is the primary way funds are generated. Funds cover costs of the podcast, which have included: travel expense, equipment (drone, trail camera, etc.), bumper stickers, stocking caps, search efforts, etc. I typically spend thousands and about break even. It is not something I do for a living but hope to made difference in helping further cases that have grown cold.
In Voni's case, I'm 99% sure I know what happened and where. The puzzle is finding Voni.
Thank you for your support!!
