Welcome to a special edition of Heart Starts Pounding.

If you're new to the podcast, you're in good company.

This is a place for people who follow their curiosity into the dark corners of the internet,

into the strange and unknown, and into their personal experiences and communities, hoping

to turn up a little light.

We'll be back on our regular weekly programming May 6th with a bunch of exciting new episodes,

and right now, we're releasing the Timekeeper, a horror audio drama on its own channel.

Thank you all for the support.

It's been on the top 20 fiction charts for the last few weeks now.

report keeps coming back with a stamp from police that reads, no foul play, some people

Others think that this is an issue that goes back much farther.
