About this listen
In 2022, a woman sorting through her late father’s belongings found an old coat. Inside its pocket was a folded, unused Greyhound bus ticket from 1988 — issued to Sarah Donovan, a woman who had vanished that same year.
Her father, a quiet truck driver with no criminal history, had never been linked to her disappearance. But one question changed everything:
Why was he carrying her ticket — instead of her?
Further searches uncovered Sarah’s necklace hidden under the floorboards of their garage, and police reclassified a decades-old missing person case as likely homicide.
The father died without ever speaking of her. No confession. No explanation. Just a ticket that never made it onto the bus.
A reminder that some of the darkest secrets don’t hide in shadows — they ride silently in our pockets, waiting to be found.
