About this listen
In 2015, a young couple moved into a quiet, aging house on Wren Street — the kind of place where nothing ever seemed to happen. But when they found a locked metal box in the attic, their new home’s history began to unfold.
Inside the box were undeveloped film rolls, a note that read “Please tell her I’m sorry — R.”, and a small brass key. When the photos were processed, they showed a woman — smiling in some, terrified in others — all taken inside the same house.
Police identified her as Linda Raines, a schoolteacher who had vanished in 1983 after separating from her husband, Richard. He’d always claimed to have moved away before she disappeared. But the handwriting on the note — and the locket found beneath a loose shed floorboard — told another story.
Richard had never left. He had stayed, living under a new name, in the same house where Linda died. The photographs were his only record — part confession, part memorial.
A reminder that some homes don’t just hold memories.
They hold what’s left of the truth.
