Thanksgiving.

The kind of holiday where the food’s good, the smiles are polite, and nobody mentions the family tension simmering just below the surface.

Paul Merhige sat at the table like everyone else.

Chatted. Posed for photos.

Then — something changed.

And by the time the night was over…nothing would ever be the same.

He was twenty-three.

1948.

A man is found dead on an Australian beach.

No name. No ID.

Just a scrap of Persian poetry in his pocket… and a code no one can crack.

This is the mystery of the Somerton Man.

A ghost in a suit.

A message in a book.

And a case that still hasn’t given up its secrets.

Three friends go to a football watch party in Kansas City.

They never come home.

Two days later, their bodies are found frozen — in a backyard.

No one called for help.

No one noticed they were gone.

And the man who hosted the party… says he slept through the whole thing.

This is the story of Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington.

And the chilling silence that followed.

*Check out our friends over at Once Upon A Crime Podcast as they dive deep into The Black Dahlia murder.

In 1947, the body of Elizabeth Short was discovered in a vacant Los Angeles lot. The press dubbed her the Black Dahlia, and her murder became one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history.

Behind the lurid headlines and wild speculation was a real woman, one whose life and story have been overshadowed by the myth.

Broken: The Black Dahlia Murder reveals who Elizabeth Short was, the shocking details of her murder, and the search for her killer. Along the way, we uncover the facts, the rumors, and the pieces of history that time tried to erase.
