Unresolved: A True Crime & Mystery Podcast

"People heard her screams, saw the car take off afterwards, were able to describe the car and able to provide images of the occupants of the car from their descriptions..."

On 24 November 1994, a warm summer evening in suburban Charlestown, New South Wales, a sixteen-year-old girl left a shopping center and began walking down a quiet, tree-lined street toward her aunt's house. She was carrying a plastic shopping bag with a new black dress and a pair of stockings inside, an outfit she planned to wear to her very first live concert just days away.

Somewhere along that road between the shopping center and her aunt’s front door, 16-year-old Gordana Kotevski was seized by at least two men, forced into a white Toyota Hilux, and driven away. Her family just inside the house heard her screams. She has never been seen again...

"We're talking about Katrina, Sandy, and Andrew combined, times maybe ten."

On 10:54 AM on 28 February 2001, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck western Washington. The epicenter was in the southern Puget Sound, but the quake originated roughly 32 miles beneath the surface, mitigating some shaking. While hundreds were injured and a woman even died as a direct result of the quake, many believe that the region got lucky that Wednesday morning and that the total damage (~$2 billion) could have been a lot higher had the quake's hypocenter been closer to the surface.

This region of the world is no stranger to the earth's whims. Lying in the shadow of the looming Mt. Rainier, there are a couple of active faults - the Seattle Fault Zone and the Cascadia Subduction Zone - that seem poised to devastate in the not-so-distant future...

"We know he didn't disappear. He had too much going for him here. It's not like him. It's 100 percent not like him."

For a young geologist with the right skills and the right tools, 1970s Wyoming was a place of opportunity. The oil crisis of 1973 had sent shock-waves through the American economy and suddenly, the vast mineral deposits beneath the west's plains and hills were incredibly valuable.

In May of 1976, a twenty-five-year-old geologist from Mead, Colorado, drove his specialized geological truck into the open country around Gillette, Wyoming to conduct a routine exploration trip and was never seen again...

"When we told prosecutors we were innocent, they put us in prison for life. Now when we plead guilty, they set us free."

On 19 August 2011, three men - Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. - were transported from their respective facilities to a courthouse in Jonesboro, Arkansas. They were there to plead guilty to a crime they had spent the better part of two decades denying. At the same time, they were asserting their innocence and obtaining their freedom in an unusual legal maneuver called an Alford plea.

What led up to that decision was the culmination of years of painstaking progress. What had started back in 1996 as a single HBO documentary had become a movement by 2011 heralded by celebrity backers and advocates pushing new DNA evidence.
