I want to give a special shout-out to the FBI Cast Unit, who provided a significant break recently,

and allowing us to break this case. The New York State Police and their cadaver dogs for actually finding Robert's remains

six years after he was left in the woods.

At the end of January of this year, we covered the 2017 disappearance of Robert Barron in a two-part series.

Robert had mysteriously vanished from his pizza shop in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Investigators quickly realized that this was serious after they discovered Robert's blood in a tooth in the restaurant.

Days later, the vehicle that Robert was driving turned up in Old Forge with more blood inside.

They believed that Robert had been murdered, but his case went cold. Six years into the investigation, we shared the case with you.

And Robert's family was convinced that they knew who was responsible, and they were upset that the district attorney would not move forward with an arrest.

About eight weeks after our series aired, there was a major break in the case.

I'm Marissa, and from Wondery, this is Episode 389 of The Vanished, an update on Robert Barron's story.

Hello, I'm Hannah.

And I'm Seruti.

And we are the hosts of A Red Handed, a weekly True Crime Podcast.

Every week on Red Handed, we get stuck into the most talked-about cases.

From the Idaho Student Killings, the Delphi murders, and our recent rundown of The Murdoch Saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Short Hand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior.

Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Red Handed wherever you get your podcast, so access our bonus Short Hand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Before we dig too far in here, we first covered Robert Barron's story early this year in episodes 379 and 380.
