Few things are more devastating than a loved one going missing.

On the Vanish podcast from Wundery, host Marissa Jones tells stories of missing persons that have gone overlooked by mainstream media.

She gets the story from friends and family of the missing person

and frequently talks with law enforcement and others close to the case.

Marissa wants to help families find their vanished loved ones or a sense of peace.

In a recent episode of The Vanished, Marissa looks into the disappearance of James Foster

Chants. The 48-year-old man from Texas went missing in March of 2021, last

seen by his neighbors cleaning up after a storm. Devastated and without any leads, James's

family began searching for him.

But in their search, they began uncovering clues

so that James was not the man they thought he was,

and worse, that he may have disappeared on purpose.
