In August of 1989, 23 year-old Duncan MacPherson vanished from a ski resort in Austria. His parents relentlessly and fruitlessly sought answers for 14 years, until 2003 when a melting glacier revealed Duncan’s remains. What they thought would be the answer to the question that haunted them for decades, turned out to be just the beginning of another heart-wrenching search for answers. Was Duncan the victim of a tragic accident, or was he murdered? WE WERE NOMINATED FOR A WEBBY! VOTE FOR US HERE BY APRIL 16TH!

Ep 362A Deadly Uprising: Manzanar National Historic Site

During World War II, the United States government rounded up over 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens, and sent them to remote incarceration camps across the western United States for suspected disloyalty. One of those camps was Manzanar, located in the harsh desert of eastern California. When a popular community leader was arrested without explanation, thousands of incarcerated residents gathered in protest, sparking what we now know as the Manzanar Uprising, which left two people dead and changed the course of history.
