I'm a fan of the Vanished podcast. Sometimes I will listen to the podcast while I'm working. And I'm like, oh, I can see exactly who did this or

you know, you have it solved and you know that everybody else knows who did it, but you just can't preview it. And it's just so mind-boggling that it's 2,000 and 19 and people get away with murder.

You think that as much technology and DNA and forensic work that is done and how they can take one drop of blood and figure out who it is.

You know, all the miraculous scientific advancements that we've made and people are getting away with murder.

I feel like the mental illness piece of it is downplaying the years that he was captain of the Sheriff's Department and was a raw body enforcer within the city and helped make sure that people were safe.

And I feel like that's all that no one cares. Not that that should get him special treatment at all, but the fact that he has a mental illness should not be just that he gets discarded as a human being.

My sister and I were not close to our dad in the last years, but we would like to know what happened to him. We want closure. He was in Tegram. I feel like three months prior to my dad's disappearance.

There is a woman in Nashville who would pick up if in a cab and she was found dead the next morning on the side of the road. She'd been right over what they think about the cab.

Say this taxi driver is involved. I mean, that's the last person to solve him.

On May 8, 2013, 69-year-old John Brewer left his residence in Nashville, Tennessee and took a taxi cab to his bank which was located in Peegram, Tennessee.

Once there, he asked for $500 cash and started acting strangely in the bank. Eventually, the bank staff asked John to leave and closed his account.

He was last seen walking out of the bank and getting back into the cab. He has never been seen or heard from again.

I'm Marissa and from Wondery, this is episode 191 of The Vanished. John Brewer's Story.

Hello, I'm Hannah. And I'm Sirete. 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, and access our bonus Short Hand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Years prior to his disappearance, John Brewer had retired from his career as a captain in the Davidson County Sheriff's Department.
