They Thought They Were Close. The 2023 Breakthrough Sent Them Back to Square One. | Deely Pt. 2
2d ago · 21:23
For 23 years, investigators and the public assumed the dark figure captured walking behind Trevor Deely on Haddington Road — 34 seconds after Trevor passed the camera — was the same man who had waited outside his office for 34 minutes in the rain. In December 2023, that assumption was definitively disproved. Enhanced CCTV analysis, using the same UK-based company that had processed the footage in 2016, finally confirmed that the Haddington Road figure was a different person entirely — someone who had given a statement to the Garda in the original 2000 investigation. The footage had been too po
Midnight Mystery Archive Is Going on Hiatus. Here's Why — and What's Still Coming. | MMA
6d ago · 5:00
An important update for every Midnight Mystery Archive listener. Kevin announced on social media Thursday, August 20th that MMA is going on extended hiatus. This episode is his direct message to the listeners — what happened, why, and what's still coming before the feed goes quiet. A major professional opportunity that Kevin has been working toward for years has arrived, and producing MMA at the level it deserves — 12 to 15 hours a week, every week — is not compatible with what comes next. The decision was not easy. But it was the only honest one. Before the hiatus begins: Trevor Deely Part 1
The Last Image of Trevor Deely Was at 4:14 AM. He Was Nine Minutes From Home. | MMA | Part 1
9d ago · 24:18
He was nine minutes from home. A man in dark clothing had been standing outside his office for 34 minutes before he got there. That was December 8, 2000. Trevor Deely has never been found. Trevor Deely was 22 years old, working at the Bank of Ireland Asset Management office in Dublin. On the night of December 7, 2000, he attended his office Christmas party — drinks on Harcourt Street, dinner at the Hilton, on to a nightclub on Lower Leeson Street. Two things made the walk home that night different from any other night: it was a Thursday, not a Friday, so the streets were quieter than usual, an
Trevor Deely Part 1 This Friday. Louisa Dunne Is Solved. And We're Not Done With Amy Bradley. | MMA Mini
13d ago · 9:16
Trevor Deely Part 1 drops this Friday. The Louisa Dunne two-parter is wrapped. And the Amy Bradley work is far from over. A quick Monday update on where we are and what's coming. Louisa Dunne. A 1967 murder in Bristol that went cold almost immediately and stayed cold for 56 years. Three things made the eventual conviction possible: officers in 1967 who processed that crime scene at a standard well above what the era required; the people who stored that evidence correctly for more than five decades; and the MCRT in 2023 who had the will to go back and ask whether the evidence had ever been test
How a Blue Skirt Preserved for 57 Years Convicted a Killer at 92. | Louisa Dunne Part 2
16d ago · 23:48
Part 1 covered the night of June 28th, 1967: Louisa Dunne, 75 years old, murdered in her home in Easton, Bristol. Part 2 covers how they finally found him. It started with a question asked in 2023 by the Avon and Somerset Police Major Crime Review Team (MCRT): for every unsolved murder in their records, one by one are there forensic opportunities we have not pursued? For Louisa's case, the answer was yes. The blue skirt she was wearing when she was attacked had been tagged, bagged, and stored in the evidence inventory since 1967. It had never been submitted for DNA analysis, because DNA analys
Amy Bradley's Best Friend Saw Her the Night Before. She Speaks After Reading the Book. | MMA Special
18d ago · 40:30
She was the last friend to see Amy Bradley in Richmond — the night before the cruise. She's here to talk about the book. Stacie was Amy Bradley's best friend. On the night before she left for the cruise, Amy asked her to come over. They sat in Amy's apartment, talked, and made plans for when Amy got back. The "angst" Kevin has described in prior episodes — the nervousness Amy's family spoke about before the trip — was about flying and being on water for the first time. Not about going with her family. Not about being forced anywhere. Stacie was there. She knows. Stacie rarely speaks publicly,
A 1967 Murder Solved by DNA in 2025. Louisa Dunne Is a Preview of What's Coming. | MMA Mini
20d ago · 9:06
A murder from 1967. A 92-year-old man convicted in 2025. And DNA evidence recovered from a skirt that sat in storage for 57 years. Louisa Dunne's case isn't just a remarkable true crime story — Kevin thinks it's a preview of what's about to happen to dozens of cases that everyone has quietly accepted will never be solved. First, some follow-up on the James Renner special from last Wednesday. Kevin clarifies why he felt the need to address Renner's Amy Bradley book publicly: Renner has a documented history of sensationalizing cases, alienating families who don't cooperate — as he did with the M
She Was Murdered in 1967. The Man Who Did It Was 92 When He Was Finally Convicted. | Louisa Dunne | Part 1
23d ago · 19:56
Something different for the Midnight Mystery Archive: this case is solved. That's not how these episodes usually start. But the fact that it was solved is not the end of the story — it's why the story matters. Louisa Dunne was murdered in Bristol, England on June 28th, 1967. She was 75 years old. In November 2024, 57 years later, a 92-year-old man named Ryland Headley was arrested at his home in Ipswich. In June 2025, he was convicted of her murder and rape. In July 2025, he was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 20 years. He will die there. Part 1 is about Louisa and about what hap
I Read James Renner's Amy Bradley Book. Here's What He Got Wrong. | MMA Special
25d ago · 20:59
James Renner's Amy Bradley book is out. Kevin has read it. And there are things that need to be addressed. Kevin spent months on the Amy Bradley series — working directly with her family, friends, eyewitnesses, and the former U.S. assistant attorney who convened a grand jury and got eyewitness statements under oath. He approached this book with that context in hand. This special episode isn't about Renner personally. It's about the evidence. Kevin walks through the book's key claims — the 4:30 AM timeline, the wind tunnel theory, the overemphasis on Kat and Molly, Yellow's credibility despite
"I Believe the OPP Know Who Killed Barbara Chapman." Plus: Louisa Dunn Is Next. | Mini
27d ago · 7:20
Kevin wraps up the Barbara Chapman two-part series — and makes his first declarative statement of the international summer series. He's been careful throughout both Barbara Chapman episodes not to speculate. No wild claims, no overreach. That's been his policy since day one. But in this mini, he breaks from that stance and says it directly: he believes the Ontario Provincial Police know who killed Barbara Chapman, and he believes the November 2024 Northern Ontario witness appeal was a geographically targeted ask designed to compel information from someone who either is the perpetrator or is cl
Cold Cases Don't Get Solved in a Lab. They Get Solved When Someone Finally Talks. | Barbara Chapman Part 2
1mo ago · 19:42
Part 1 covered January 23rd, 1984 — the ordinary morning, the phone call with her mother, the seven-hour window, the twelve-year-old daughter who found her in the garage. Barbara was 38 years old. Her murder has never been solved. Forty-two years later, no one has been charged. Part 2 is about what those 42 years actually looked like — and why the Ontario Provincial Police's behavior in the public record suggests this case is closer to resolution than the silence implies. There have been three public appeals. The first reward was offered in 2011 — $50,000 from the Government of Ontario — 27 ye

Someone Waited for Her Kids to Leave. Barbara Chapman Was Murdered in Frankford, Ontario. | Part 1
1mo ago · 17:15
On the morning of January 23rd, 1984, Barbara Chapman made breakfast for her two children in a small house north of Frankford, Ontario. She helped them get ready for school. She watched them board the school bus. Then she went inside and called her mother - they spoke while Barbara did chores around the house. That phone call was the last contact anyone had with Barbara Chapman alive. At four o'clock that afternoon, her twelve-year-old daughter came home from school. Her mother was not in the house. The girl searched for more than an hour. She eventually found her mother's body in the garage.
A 1984 Murder in Ontario. Her Case Is Still Open. And Russell Williams Was in the Area. | MMA Mini

I am on vacation — this was pre-recorded before he left, and the full episode schedule runs as normal in his absence. Two things this week. First: the Michael Dunahee series is complete. Part 1, the Witness Wednesday with his mother Crystal Dunahee, and Part 2 are all in your feed. I say out loud what listeners will likely have sensed: the conversation with Crystal was one of the hardest he has ever had. I walked away from that interview questioning whether I should have done it. Not because it wasn't well-intentioned — it was. But because there are conversations that require a different kind
Michael Dunahee Part 2: 11,000 Tips, A Case Hampered by Its Era, and Why This Case Could Still Be Solved
1mo ago · 16:25
Part 1 covered the afternoon of March 24th, 1991 — the playground, the fifty people who saw nothing, the boy who was there and then wasn't. Part 2 picks up where that left off, with 35 years of investigation, the leads that closed without answers, and where the case stands in 2026. The investigation that followed Michael Dunahee's disappearance was one of the largest missing child responses in Canadian history. Nearly 100 officers from agencies across British Columbia were mobilized within days. The FBI provided support. America's Most Wanted covered the case multiple times. And the tip system
Thirty-Five Years of Searching and Advocacy for Michael Dunahee | Crystal Dunahee | WW
1mo ago · 16:04
On March 24th, 1991, Crystal Dunahee drove to a women's flag football game in Victoria, British Columbia. Michael — her four-year-old son with blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles — asked if he could play at the park. She looked. There were a couple of kids already there. It was a normal Sunday afternoon. She said yes. It was the first time she had ever let him go to the park by himself. When his father Bruce walked to the playground minutes later, Michael was gone. In this Witness Wednesday, Crystal Dunahee sits down with Kevin to share who Michael was — not the case, not the timeline, but th
Michael Dunahee's Mother Joins MMA Wednesday | Gina Bos Wrapped, HoM Launches Tomorrow | Mini
1mo ago · 8:27
A few things to catch you up on before the week ahead - and it is a big one. The Gina Bos case is officially wrapped. If you have not yet heard last Wednesday's Witness Wednesday with Jannel Rap, Gina's sister, go back and listen before you do anything else this week. It was one of the most meaningful interviews Kevin has done for this podcast. Jannel took her grief over Gina's disappearance and turned it into 411gina.org, an advocacy organization that has helped locate more than 3,000 missing people. Kevin says it out loud in this episode: that conversation is a big part of why he does the Mi
50 People Were There. A 4-Year-Old Vanished. No One Saw a Thing. | Michael Dunahee | Part 1
1mo ago · 18:37
On March 24th, 1991, a four-year-old boy named Michael Dunahee disappeared from a school playground in Victoria, British Columbia. It was 12:30 in the afternoon. There were approximately fifty people in the immediate area. He vanished within meters of his parents. Not one of those people saw it happen. Thirty-five years later, Michael Dunahee has never been found. Michael Wayne Dunahee was born on May 12th, 1986. He was blonde-haired and blue-eyed with freckles beginning to appear across his nose. He was a happy, physically outgoing four-year-old who had a baby sister named Caitlin and parents

Jannel Rap built a foundation that has helped locate over 3,000 missing people. Her sister Gina Bos disappeared twenty-six years ago. Gina's case is still open. Jannel joins Witness Wednesday for her full interview and the complete conversation behind the clips you heard in Part 2 of the Gina Bos series. She talks about growing up in a family of seven kids, four girls who sang together at church, a grandfather who played the fiddle, a father who played guitar, a mother who played the clarinet and accordion entirely by ear. And she talks about Gina: not just one gift, but all of them. Painting.

Gina Bos Part 2: "Do I Think I Know Who Killed Her? Yes."
1mo ago · 27:18
Eighteen years after Regina "Gina" Bos vanished outside Duggan's Pub in Lincoln, Nebraska, Detective Greg Sorensen said on the record: "Do I think I know who killed her? Yes." Then, in the same conversation: "We don't have enough probable cause to arrest somebody." This episode is built around the gap between those two statements. Gina Bos — a 40-year-old single mother of three and musician — walked out of an open mic on October 17, 2000, and was never seen again. Her car was found across the street. Her guitar, which she never left unattended, sat in a trunk that never closed. No body. No cri

Witness Wednesday: Darsha Dodge on Gina Bos, Nebraska Missing Persons Day, and the Sisters Who Sang in the Rain
2mo ago · 21:11
Darsha Dodge has known about Gina Bos's case for 15 years. Last October, she stood at the Nebraska State Capitol in the rain and watched Gina's sisters sing for her under a rainbow umbrella. This is what she saw. Darsha Dodge is the senior reporter at 1011 News (KOLN) in Lincoln, Nebraska. She grew up in Arkansas and, as a teenager going down internet rabbit holes about missing persons, stumbled across Gina Bos's disappearance roughly 15 years ago. When she moved to Lincoln and saw Nebraska Missing Persons Day come up on the calendar, an event Gina's sisters helped push through the state legis

The Amy Bradley series is done. Gina Bos is next. And this week is one of the most important weeks of the Summer Series and here's what's coming. Gina Bos was 40 years old when she disappeared from Lincoln, Nebraska on October 17, 2000. She had just finished an open mic night at Duggan's Pub.

Gina Bos packed her guitar. She walked to her car. The trunk was never shut. She has not been seen since October 17, 2000. Regina "Gina" Bos was 40 years old on the night she disappeared — a musician, a mother of three, a woman with a new job lined up and a Habitat for Humanity house in progress. She had spent the evening playing open mic night at Duggan's Pub in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. Multiple witnesses saw her leave around 1 a.m. Her guitar and sheet music were found in the trunk of her Saturn the next morning. The trunk was slightly open. Her purse was not in the car.
