Summary

On the morning of August 23, 2008, a local man goes for an ATV ride on his property in Happy Valley, Tennessee, located on the border of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. When he failed to contact his family, the local authorities were notified, and a search kicked off. Days later, close to the National Park border, his abandoned ATV was found under strange circumstances. Join us this week as we investigate the puzzling disappearance of Mike Hearon. (Episode 89)

Correction: We incorrectly stated that the raccoon is the state symbol of Tennessee. The raccoon is the state's Official Wild Animal. The state of Tennessee has a number of Official state symbols. Thank you to supporter Rachel for alerting us to this mistake.
