Summary

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, the astonishing true story of Kara Robinson—abducted in broad daylight and held captive by a serial killer- she outsmarted her captor and escaped, rewriting the rulebook on survival. It's resilience meets real-life thriller. Then, we head to Sandtown, Indiana—a place that once bustled with life, and now? Gone. Vanished. Poof. No wreckage, no ruins, just whispers and weirdness. Was it swallowed by the earth, or just bad at city planning? Join Kat and Jethro as they dive into survival stories and small-town vanishings, sprinkling in their signature oddball humor and curiosity-fueled commentary. It's true crime meets urban legend with a side of "Wait, what?!" Tickets to our Live Shows Here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
