Things I Want To Know
Ever wonder what really happened — not the rumors, not the Netflix version, but the truth buried in forgotten police files? We did too.
We don’t chase conspiracy theories or ghost stories. We chase facts. Through FOIA requests, interviews, and case files scattered across America, we dig through what’s left behind to find what still doesn’t make sense. Along the way, you’ll hear the real conversations between us — the questions, the theories, and the quiet frustration that comes when justice fades.
Each episode takes you inside a case that time tried to erase — the voices left behind, the investigators who never quit, and the clues that still echo decades later. We don’t claim to solve them. We just refuse to let them be forgotten.
Join us as we search for the truth, one mystery at a time.

Fan Mail
thank you for bringing the Kelly Wilson story. I was about two years older than Kelly and from Gilmer. While there were some inconsistencies from how I remember everything going down from the most part you got a lot of it right. There were other things that were tied to the story that was missed. Btw very close to the Kerr "compound" they were building a new municipal lake. Most from the area feel she is buried at the bottom of that lake.
