Welcome to Heart Starts Pounding, a podcast of Horrors, Hauntings and Mysteries.

I'm your host, Caitlin Moore.

Last week, I told you the story of Sandra,

who in 2011 started dating a man who called himself David.

David was isolating Sandra from her friends and family until she ultimately disappeared in 2015.

If you haven't listened to last week's episode, I highly suggest you do so before diving into this one.

It ended with Sandra's ex-husband Mark

learning about another woman that David,

whose real name was Robert,

had disappeared with in 2002, a woman named Kim Adams.

Today, I want to start at the beginning of Robert's story,

because Sandra was not the first woman that he had vanished with. She wasn't the second or third either.

This was a disturbing pattern that he had been repeating for nearly 20 years.

And before we jump in, I have some exciting news.

We're off next week, that's not the exciting part, I'm actually pretty bummed about that,

but while we won't have a new

episode we are launching an Apple subscription for the show. This will let you

listen, ad free, get the extra monthly bonus episode and the archived episodes all from within the Apple

podcast app. It's called Heart Starts's Pounding Premium and the sub will be

499. They wouldn't let me round up to $5 so it is an entire cent cheaper than the

based Patreon tier which gives you all the same stuff. I know a lot of you don't use

Patreon but you may still want the extra content and ad-free listening so stay tuned for
