It looked like he had just ran out to the store or something, you know, and that he would be right back.

His bank account and stuff like that has not been touched. Everything that's went into his account has stayed in his account.

He's definitely not the kind of person that, like I said, would just up and start a brand new life.

He's got me and my sister, he's got four grandkids that he was crazy about. So, so I don't think that he would just go start a new life.

Everybody loved him. He was a big teddy bear. You know, he used to be a dickhead at the church. You know, he was just really popular and really well loved.

On July 24th, 2018, Marty Teague was last seen around noon near his home in Statesville, North Carolina.

Within his home, he left behind his cell phone, money, and daily medication that he needed.

Marty's disappearance shook the core of his family. He was a loving father that despite his missteps and personal issues, was known to be a devoted father and grandfather.

He was the type of man that would speak to his children every day if he was able to.

So, the fact that more than a year has gone by and there's been no word from Marty, his children know something bad must have happened to him.

Since the day that Marty had gone missing, his family has been trying to get answers and have gone down as many paths as they could to find out what had happened to him.

So far, these paths have led to dead ends and even more questions than answers.

So what happened to Marty Teague on July 24th, 2018?

I'm Marissa and from Wondery, this is episode 195 of The Vanished. Marty Teague's Story.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Seru Teague 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?
