In 2015, a 19-year-old visited her family home in Virginia for a few days before heading back to Arizona to start school. But after she was taken to the Virginia airport to go home, she sent a string of strange and uncharacteristic text messages to her loved ones and never boarded the plane. Between false alibis, suspicious phone records, and haunting evidence, this case proves to be incredibly bizarre and downright dumbfounding. This is the story of Katelin Akens. *BONUS EPISODES* patreon.com/goingwestpodcast *CASE SOURCES* https://fredericksburg.com/news/crime_courts/look-back-katelin-akens-disappeared-four-years-ago-today/article_f8797676-1793-11ea-852d-0b37c01d3369.html https://charleyproject.org/case/katelin-michelle-akens https://medium.com/the-mystery-box/puzzling-text-messages-what-happened-to-katelin-akens-d89ebbb2036f https://truecrimediva.com/katelin-akens/ https://truecrimecrystals.tumblr.com/post/167875870935/19-year-old-katelin-akens-has-been-missing-from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/one-woman-dead-another-missing-under-mysterious-circumstances_n_566729fbe4b08e945ff13545 https://www.fox5dc.com/news/virginia-womans-disappearance-continues-to-puzzle-police-two-years-later https://truecrimedaily.com/2017/02/01/confession-or-cry-for-help-missing-teens-texts-conflict-with-locations/ https://crimeola.com/katelin-akens-wiki-missing/ ( https://crimeola.com/katelin-akens-wiki-missing/ ) http://darkmatter69.blogspot.com/2019/11/katelin-akens-virginian-gone-girl.html https://www.whitepages.com/name/James-D-Branton/Partlow-VA/Po8MmA6K18W https://fredericksburg.com/spotsylvania-jury-convicts-man-of-killing-heather-ciccone/article_cb89a8f4-2200-5f0d-80fd-0bfbcdd9d8f7.html https://heraldcourier.com/news/woman-charged-with-being-accessory-in-slaying-of-heather-ciccone/article_84e25cf2-e025-11e7-9d03-b76de14f1177.html Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

*In 2008, a Maryland woman working in government security had a few strange visits to her apartment by unknown men. She never answered the door for them, but after coming back from running errands one afternoon, she was shot to death in the hallway of her complex. Was this murder related to her work, or was is the doing of a local serial killer who was haunting the area at this exact same time?

Ep 92Carol Woolsoncroft // 100

E

*In 1984 in Fort Myers, Florida, my mom's sister went missing after she planned to break up with her boyfriend. She wrote a letter to her parents while they were on vacation regarding her fears towards him, so they knew something was wrong when they returned home and she was nowhere to be found. Years later, he went on to murder more women- but her body has never been discovered. He’s known to have told people that the police would never find her. And upon his last questioning regarding her, he laughed and spit in the detectives face without saying a word. This is the disappearance of Carol Woolsoncroft.* *BONUS EPISODES:* patreon.com/goingwestpodcast Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
