Episode: Melanie Melanson — Renewed Search in a 30-Year-Old Cold Case 

In this episode, we explore the decades-long mystery of Melanie Melanson, a 14-year-old from Woburn, Massachusetts who disappeared on October 27, 1989 after attending a party in the woods. Despite extensive searches over the years — from police teams to volunteer K-9 units — Melanie has never been found, and no suspects have ever been charged.  

Recently, the case saw renewed attention when new clues led investigators and search teams to comb areas including parts of the Middlesex Fells Reservation in Stoneham, based on tips that her remains might have been moved.  

Join us as we break down the latest developments, the history of the investigation, and the ongoing efforts of authorities and Melanie’s extended family to find answers in this heartbreaking cold case.
