About this listen
The episode details the puzzling disappearance of John and Shelley Markley from Bristol, Ohio, on December 15th, 1995, and the subsequent investigation. Ruth, their eldest child, discovered their unexplained absence and several odd details at home, leading to a missing persons report. The investigation initially focused on a ransom attempt by a former employee, Steven Durst, who was convicted of extortion but never directly linked to their disappearance. Over time, various theories emerged, including Shelley's possible desire to leave John and an elaborate plot related to an old family murder, yet despite extensive efforts by both law enforcement and the family, the Markleys have never been found, leaving their children without closure after nearly three decades.
