Summary

Around 9pm on August 6, 1930, Judge Joseph Force Crater left a restaurant and has never been heard from again. With the circumstances around his disappearance, he was declared legally dead in 1939, and his case – Missing Persons File No. 13595 – was officially closed in 1979 - but there are still no answers.

A missing person is a person who has vanished and is unconfirmed as alive or dead as their location and fate are unknown. Thank you. Hey everyone. Welcome back to Down the Rabbit Holes podcast. I'm Melissa and I'm Amy.

0:40.1

And I've never recall you being this anticipated toward a case.

0:46.3

I think it has a lot of elements that are curious to me and there are several theories and several really plausible theories.

0:59.6

I think it's also because I've had this case on the back burner for a little while and I just

1:05.0

never wrote it up for whatever reason. It wasn't for lack of like it had the substance.

1:12.6

There wasn't any struggle.

1:13.9

There's information out there.

1:17.0

So I don't know the reason.

1:18.8

But I will preface this with saying like this is an older case.

1:23.1

It's that this case is so old and its likelihood

1:56.0

And the first thing I always like slap my hand back on is if it was your family member like a grandparent

2:03.6

or something and investigators were like eh there's no hope like whatever just forget about it

2:11.3

and move on I would be so hurt and so enraged that someone could just brush something off like that.

2:19.5

So that is the piece that makes me say, it could be a long shot, it could be near impossible,

2:26.6

but if there is any possibility whatsoever, it should be done.

2:31.3

I agree with you, 100%.

2:33.5

And it's funny because, obviously, as I first, you know, throw this through Google, the first thing that comes up is,
