In this episode, we uncover a chilling Minnesota cold case that may finally have answers after nearly six decades. In 1967, 59-year-old Roy George Benn vanished without a trace along with his 1963 Buick Electra, leaving relatives stunned and investigators with unanswered questions. For 58 years, this unsolved crime grew cold — until August 2025, when a fisherman’s sonar scan of the Mississippi River revealed a submerged car. Inside, authorities discovered human remains believed to be Benn’s, potentially solving one of Minnesota’s oldest cold cases.

Join host Dustin Terry as we explore Roy Benn’s disappearance, the dramatic discovery, the ongoing forensic investigation, and what this breakthrough means for families still waiting for justice. From the supper club he left that night to the modern evidence that resurfaced decades later, this true crime story blends mystery, loss, and hope.

If you follow unsolved mysteries, forgotten crimes, or true crime stories, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
