Welcome to Yore Town, where we delve into the shadows of unsolved mystery. In this episode, we tackle one of Ireland's most enduring and frustrating true crime cold cases: the baffling disappearance of Conor and Sheila Dwyer from Fermoy, County Cork, in 1991.

The last confirmed sighting of the couple was on April 30th, 1991, walking toward a funeral near their home. Just days later, their house was found orderly, with all their possessions—including clothes, passports, and a large amount of cash—left behind. The only things missing were Conor and Sheila and their white Toyota Cressida.

This is a missing persons investigation that has spanned decades, involved international inquiries (including a strange sighting in Germany linked to Conor's employment with a German millionaire), and included multiple exhaustive searches of the River Blackwater. Despite the passage of time, every avenue leads to a dead end, leaving family and investigators seeking answers.

We explore the strange elements that make this 1990s cold case so unique: the rarity of a couple vanishing together, the fact that their memory remains so vivid for locals, and the profound questions that linger about their intentions and their fate. Gardaí believe locating their vehicle is the key to solving this enduring puzzle. Join us as we dissect the known facts, the wild theories, and the sheer impossibility of how two people, and their car, could simply cease to exist.

Where do experienced hunters go when they vanish without a trace? WATCH the ultimate deep dive into the Missing 411 phenomenon here.

Welcome to Yore Town, where we investigate the most baffling unsolved mysteries that challenge explanation. In this chilling episode, we plunge headfirst into the controversial and terrifying world of Missing 411—specifically, the pattern of skilled hunters disappearing without a trace, both in the unforgiving Adirondacks wilderness and across the globe.

We explore the circumstances surrounding individuals who seemingly vanish into thin air, leaving behind perplexing clues and zero answers. These are not cases of novice hikers getting lost; these are experienced outdoorsmen, often alone, who disappear under highly unusual conditions that defy conventional logic. The sheer number of these cases, documented by investigator David Paulides, suggests a terrifying pattern that has sparked countless conspiracy theories.

We analyze specific cases of hunters missing in the Adirondacks, NY, examining the details that make these disappearances so unnerving. Were these unexplained disappearances due to natural causes, paranormal activity, or something far more sinister lurking in the woods?

This episode challenges the boundaries of true crime and unsolved mystery, focusing on the geographic clusters and strange similarities noted in these cases. The narrative highlights the lack of reliable data from official sources, the strange environmental factors (like sudden weather changes or silence in the woods), and the sheer impossibility of how experienced individuals could simply be erased from the landscape.

Join us as we shine a light on the Missing 411 hunters phenomenon and the fear it instills in communities everywhere. The woods are vast, but the pattern is chilling. "The woods are silent, but the questions are loud."
