Tracy Stella joins us for the first episode of Season 6, where we delve into her incredible gift as a medium and how she discovered this extraordinary talent. Two years ago, I came across Tracy on TikTok and decided to book a session with her. During our reading, she connected with my dad, who passed away 16 years ago. The message she relayed was deeply personal—something only he would have known. I feel truly fortunate to have met Tracy and to have experienced her remarkable abilities firsthand.

In this episode, Carl King and I delve into the mysterious case of Paul Batson, a man Carl worked with at a post office outside of Chicago. Paul took a trip one day—and simply never came back. His truck and phone were discovered in Montana, but he vanished without a trace, and he remains missing to this day. Did Paul decide to escape the world and disappear into the Montana wilderness, or is foul play involved, and was his disappearance not his choice?
