<v Speaker 1>He was a gruesome discovery, kind of the last thing

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>loggers widening an interstate here in Burning, Connecticut we ever

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>thought they'd come upon. But it certainly answers some questions

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in the local disappearances of four young women. You've seen

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 1>them tack to telephone poles, on the internet, plastered on billboards,

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the missing. I pray every day that we find these

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a so we can go on the murdered. She always

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>told my mom on a twenty one birthday, I'm coming

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.920

<v Speaker 1>photograph on a piece of paper, the only thread of

0:00:55.360 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>hope left. Paper Ghosts, I'm in William Phelps, an investigative journalist,

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>true crime author, and host of Paper Ghosts, a new

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>investigative podcast from my Heart Radio. For more than a decade,

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been searching for the person or persons responsible for

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>the abductions and probable murders of four missing girls in

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>my New England hometown. For over fifty years, each case

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>has remained unsolved. I've spoken to anyone even remotely involved, friends, family, neighbors, detectives, suspects,

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you name it. But it wasn't until this past year

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that things took an unexpected turn, and after eleven years

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>of investigating a breakthrough, now immediately it just sat on

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the floor like somebody just punched me in the gut.

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>And then the tears just came in. Came in, came

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>answers to decades old questions. In some closure, these families

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>have been searching for the shirts he wore, the cherry

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to the Backshope, I know that that's the person that

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 1>was there. I can describe what he's wearing. I can

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>smell him a mile away. Every day is like being

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>lost in Gimbo. Coming soon, Paper Ghosts. Get it on
