I'm your host Heather Ashley and today's in the news case is out of Casville, Missouri.

On May 21st, 2023, a 49 year old ER doctor named John Forsyth was reported missing after he

0:33.2

didn't show up for a 7 p.m. shift at the hospital. He was last seen at 7 a.m. that morning when his

0:38.8

previous shift ended and it was unlike John to ever miss a shift. In fact, in the 15 years he
