Send a text On February 1, 2012, Samantha Koenig was taken from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Her disappearance made no sense to investigators.

But when a ransom note appeared weeks after her capture, accompanied by a distur...

Send a text Throughout the entirety of this podcast, we've heard this question over and over: "If UFOs are real, why haven't more people seen them?"

This week we'll learn about two such examples...

Send a text Spooky season is upon us! And we're celebrating in style.

Send a text America’s National Parks are as inspiring as they are humbling. Their vast landscapes provide a place for adventure and exploration, but solitude can turn deadly if you’re not prepared.

In 1996, four Germ...
