I'm Benjamin Fitton from May Walker, Mungus. A nice podcast is sponsored by Prime Video where you can stream new Amazon original series The Confession.

In January 1992, devoted mother of two Patricia Hall, finished from a Small Town in Yorkshire without a trace. Early on in the investigation, Patricia's husband Keith becomes a prime suspect, but when no progress is made, the case seems to go cold.

The Confession is a true crime documentary series exploring Patricia Hall's disappearance. The story unfolds through archive recordings from the investigation, interviews with Patricia's family, the police and Keith who was accused of having something to do with his wife's disappearance.

What do you think really happened? The Confession, an Amazon original available now, only on Prime Video.

Hey Small Town Fam, how are you? Well, we have a fascinating case for you today. It takes us deep undercover with Detective Matt, whose ultimate target is a corrupt politician on the take.

But before he can arrest this man, Matt has to play the long game. He has to gain the trust of the local mafia, as well as a couple of high-level drug dealers. It's dangerous work, and while it's no surprise the bad guys don't want Matt to succeed, it's quite a surprise that some of the so-called good guys don't want him to succeed either.

Please settle in for politically incorrect. Hi there, I'm Yardley. I'm Dan, and I'm Dave. And this is Small Town Decks.

Dave and I are identical twins, and we're retired detectives from Small Town USA. Together we've investigated thousands of cases from petty theft to sex crimes, from child abuse to murder.

Every case in our podcast is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare, personal account of how they broke the case.

Names, places, and certain details, including relationships, have been altered to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

And although we're aware that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we ask you to please join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Thank you.

Today on Small Town Decks, we have the usual suspects. We have Detective Dan.

Hello everyone. Hello. And we have Detective Dave. I am back.
