Summary

Introducing Wonder Media Network’s first true crime show, I Was Never There. Thirty-four years ago, Marsha “Mudd” Ferber vanished without a trace from Morgantown, WV. Mother-daughter duo Karen and Jamie Zelermyer are going back to the land to figure out what the hell happened. Named a 2022 Tribeca Film Festival official selection for audio storytelling, I Was Never There is as much true crime show as it is an ode to Appalachian countercultural movements of the 1970s and 1980s.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, this is Ravi here coming to you on a Saturday with a great new show to listen to.
0:05.4	Our podcast company Wonder Media Network just launched their first true crime show.
0:10.0	I was never there. The show explores the unexplained 1988 disappearance of Marsha Mud Furber,
0:16.4	a community leader, political radical, and mother of two. Now, Marsha's close friends are going back
0:22.4	to the land to figure out what the hell happened to her and there's family drama, political upheavals,
0:26.6	wild adventures, and the red hot chili peppers. We know it's different from the show, but the whole
0:32.0	WMN team has been working so hard on this project and we figured everyone could use a little
0:36.6	entertainment right now. So stay tuned for the first episode of I was never there and listen
0:41.4	wherever you get your podcasts.
0:58.4	Marsha was last seen April 25th. All it was missing was her backpack. Her car was left at a parking
1:04.7	meter. Belongings left in an apartment above the bar. The popular theory now among her friends

1:43.4	cold case. Open for investigation. And all of us who have loved her have lived our lives without her,
1:51.3	without closure. But this story is much bigger than one day in 1988. I always thought I knew Marsha
2:01.1	because in many ways our stories were the same. But it turns out I was wrong.
2:07.2	I'm Jamie Zollermeier and that's my mom Karen. This is I was never there, episode one.
2:37.2	Oh, yesterday, yesterday, country road, take me home, country road.
2:54.6	On May 19th, 1973, when I was 10 days old, my parents moved us back to the land,
3:10.8	to Braxton County, West Virginia. That was the beginning of a journey that would help shape me,
