What could possibly be dangerous about a squishy little NeeDoh knockoff? Well… turns out there’s more to those suspiciously cheap dupes than meets the eye. šŸ‘€

This week, we’re talking about the dangers of counterfeit NeeDohs—and because apparently we can never just talk about ONE thing, we’re also giving you a little šŸ‘€ sneak peek at what’s happening over on our Patreon.

We recently talked about the Lindsay Clancy trial and Netflix’s Toxic Love documentary, and that conversation is available exclusively on our Patreon for just $5/month. šŸ–¤

So basically: questionable squishies in your feed, true crime in your bonus content. Seems on brand. šŸ˜‚

In April 2013, 24-year-old Jessica Masker was struggling to get her life back on track when she disappeared from Indianapolis’s east side. The single mom of two was last seen on surveillance video at a gas station near her cousin’s house.

Despite local news coverage and continued pleas from her family, Jessica’s disappearance remains unsolved more than a decade later. In this episode, we explore the events leading up to Jessica’s disappearance, the investigation that followed, the media attention her case received, and the lingering questions that remain unanswered more than a decade later.

Journalists by trade. Ghost hunters... not so much. šŸ‘»

But when a mansion earns the title of one of America’s most haunted homes, we have questions.

This week on Buried Bylines, it’s Christmas (Halloween) in July! We’re investigating the legend of Summerwind… digging through decades of stories, separating documented history from paranormal lore, and deciding for ourselves whether this Wisconsin mansion deserves its chilling reputation.

šŸŽ§ Listen now... and tell us: haunted or hype?

We know... we're a little late this week. šŸ˜…

Thanks for hanging in there with us while we continue pretending we have our lives together.
We're working on it, we promise.

Now, onto an episode we've been waiting months to share.

For 76 years, two-year-old Earnest Cagle Jr. was missing.

Not just from his family. Not just from the headlines.

He was missing from the very systems designed to help find missing children.

On August 27, 1950, Earnest disappeared from the backseat of his family's car outside a tavern in Buckhart, Illinois. The searches ended. The news coverage stopped. And somewhere along the way, his case was never entered into the national missing persons system.

Until now.

This episode is unlike any we've ever done. We retrace Earnest's disappearance, examine how a child could slip through every official crack for more than seven decades, and share the behind-the-scenes journey of working to have him entered into the national database.
Cases don't stop mattering because they're old. Children don't stop being missing because time has passed.

Everyone deserves to be remembered.

šŸŽ‰ 100 episodes. We honestly can’t believe we’re here.

For our milestone 100th episode, we’re covering one of Indiana’s most well-known unsolved cases: the Burger Chef murders. We begin by revisiting the case and the lives of the four young victims before welcoming our very special guests, journalist Ɓine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee from the Murder Sheet podcast, to discuss their years of reporting and investigation into this heartbreaking case.

A huge thank you to Ɓine and Kevin for taking the time to join us and share their insights. And an even bigger thank you to every single person who has listened, shared an episode, left a review, or recommended Buried Bylines to a friend over the past 100 episodes. Your support has allowed us to keep telling these important stories.

Here’s to the next 100. ā¤ļø

Hi all! Megan here! šŸ‘‹

Hiiiieeee! Megan here! Apologies for the late episode drop. I’m just a single mom (no, I’m not. I have a husband who is very present) who works two jobs (I only have one job but I’m tired) who loves her kids and never stops… (I do, and never.)

In all seriousness though, 99 episodes later and somehow the internet still lets us talk into microphones every week. ā¤ļø

Before Episode 100 drops, we’re doing a Q&A episode answering your questions, reflecting on the journey so far, discussing what the NEXT 100 episodes could look like… and finally revealing the infamous cold case we’ll be covering for our 100th episode. šŸ‘€
We’re also doing a merch giveaway to celebrate! To enter:
