The Hell and Gone team has launched a new series, Hell and Gone Murder Line…but investigator Catherine Townsend can’t start something new without returning to the case that started it all, the case that changed her life forever. The murder of Rebekah Gould.  The case file was finally released in full a few months back, and Catherine spent countless hours reviewing it. In this episode, she goes through the parts of the file that stood out to her and raised more questions.  If you have a case you’d like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thursday December 1, 1994 started out as just a normal day for Melissa Witt. She was a 19-year-old college student, who lived at home with her mom, Mary Ann, on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  That night, Melissa went to meet her mom at a bowling alley...but she never made it inside. Instead, Melissa disappeared. And Mary Ann never saw her daughter alive again.

Over the past five years of making true crime podcast Hell and Gone, host Catherine Townsend knows that there is no such thing as a small town where murder never happens. She's received hundreds of messages from people, all around the country, asking for help with an unsolved murder that’s affected them, their families and their communities.  In past seasons of the show, she’s only been able to focus on one case. But now, she’s hosting a new weekly show on the Hell and Gone feed called Hell and Gone Murder Line. Every Thursday, she will feature a new case, add updates to old ones, and help as much as she can to get the word out about unsolved murders.  If you have a case you’d like Catherine and her team to look into, you can call the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
