On September 12th, 1987, 50-year-old Dale Kerstetter clocked into his overnight security shift

at Corning Glassworks in Bradford, Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be an ordinary night

at a place he'd work for years, but by the time

morning came, Dale was gone, and so was over $200,000 in platinum.

Now, almost 40 years later, Dale has never been found, and what happened that night remains

a subject of debate.

Was Dale the victim of a robbery?

Was he forced to help?

Or was he involved and then double crossed?

When a person goes missing, there's a special kind of pain in the not knowing.

I want to tell you the stories of those who never came home.

Today, I want to tell you the story of Dale Kerstedder. I'm Conan Gallagher. And I'm Ethan Flick. And this is, and then they were gone. And then they were gone. Thank you. Welcome back, everyone.

Thank you for joining us once again.

I'm Kona.

And I'm Ethan.

And we're the husband and wife team behind this podcast. Each week, I tell you the story of an unsolved missing person's case. Ethan doesn't know anything about the case going into the

episode and is here to provide his reactions and questions in real time, hopefully asking

some of the same ones you have at home. What makes this case so interesting to me is the ambiguity of it.

This happened nearly 40 years ago, and still, no one can really agree on what exactly did happen.

I'm getting a real, like, D.B. Cooper vibe from it already.

Like, obviously, not jumping out of an airplane, but, like, I'm getting a real like D.B. Cooper vibe from it already. Like obviously not jumping out of an airplane, but like I'm getting like mastermind robbery.
