Western Massachusetts. 1994.

Twelve-year-old Becky Savarese gets away.

And in doing so, exposes a quiet predator with a kidnapping kit, a secret plan, and ties to horrors that had already begun.

Because once Lewis Lent started talking… the story only got worse.

Auckland, New Zealand. 2006.

Seventeen-year-old Liam Ashley is placed in the back of a prison transport van for what should have been a routine ride.

He never makes it out alive.

What happened inside that moving cage would horrify a country — and expose a system that failed to protect the very person in its custody.

Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. April 2005.

Ray Gricar has spent years building cases, following evidence, and knowing exactly where to look when something doesn’t add up.

Then one day, he vanishes.

And the deeper people look, the stranger it gets.

Anchorage, Alaska. Summer 2016.

Over five days, three men are attacked in their homes by the same stranger — a man with a black leather jacket, a claw hammer, and a terrifying sense of purpose.

What looks, at first, like a violent spree… is something far more complicated.

Salado, Texas. July 1997.

Lela and Raymond Howard leave home for a local music festival just 15 miles away.

They never arrive.

Days pass. Then weeks. And the farther the search stretches, the harder it becomes to explain how two people can disappear so completely… without ever meaning to.

This is THE WAY.

An heiress from Duluth.

A trail of fires stretching from Minnesota to the Mexican border.

And a quiet little mining town in Arizona… that never saw her coming.

Marjorie Congdon Caldwell Hagen carried wealth, suspicion, and misery wherever she went.

Her tale is part true crime… and part ghost story that still haunts this desert town.

For this special episode, we’re going local, and recording live from ground zero — Ajo, AZ, AND we’re teaming up with Z89.3 KZAO’s own Bo Johnson to tell the story of Marjorie Hagen — the “Black Widow of Ajo.”

Port Clinton, Ohio. December 2019.

A 14-year-old boy leaves home on a Friday morning and walks to school like he always did. Except this day, Harley Dilly never makes it there.

For weeks, the town searches. Streets, water, woods — every place a kid could disappear into.

Until the answer turns up in the last place anyone could ever imagine.
