Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already. Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up.In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for. Don't want to listen to the intro? The episode begins around 15 minutes in.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

15-month-old Evelyn Boswell was reported missing on February 19th, 2020 by her grandfather, but she hadn't actually been seen since December 2019.I'm sure you're wondering - how does a missing baby go unreported for 2 months?Her mother, 18-year-old Megan Boswell, tried to explain during an interview, "Well, the reason I didn’t report it or anything was I knew the person who had her and I didn’t want them to run away with her. In a way, I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have."A month later, Evelyn's remains were found in a shed on a family member's property with her toys, clothes, and diapers. With a family full of felons pointing fingers at each other, investigators had a long road ahead of them - but ultimately they were able to make an arrest.Story beings @ 14:45Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Michael Shaver - Buried in the Backyard

The last known sighting of Michael Shaver was in November 2015. It took over two years for friends and family to realize he was missing because someone was responding to his messages and updating his social media pretending to be him. He didn't seem like himself and in February 2018 a friend called for a wellness check on him. Police went to his home and found his wife, Laurie Shaver, who told police she hadn't seen him for years.Well, a few months later police found Michael Shaver's body buried under a cement fire pit in the backyard of the home he once shared with Laurie.As cut & dry as this case seems, it still remains unsolved.Story Begins: 18:52Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Unidentified and Mostly Harmless

While hiking in Big Cypress National Preserve, two friends stumbled upon an emaciated man's remains in a tent along the trail. The man had no identification, no cell phone, no bank cards and didn't come up in any of the police's databases.After releasing a composite sketch of the man, a handful of fellow hikers, hostel proprietors and trail angels came forward saying they met this man along his journey from NY to FL. They knew stories about him and even had photos of him, but they only knew him as "Denim" or "Mostly Harmless" - his trail names. It seemed like no one knew his true identity and that was they way he wanted it.It's been 2 years since Mostly Harmless's remains were found in July 2017 and he has yet to be identified. The Collier County Sheriff's Office hasn't given up and is pursuing genealogy testing in hopes to locate a relative. But, if Mostly Harmless went to such great lengths to conceal his identity, do we have the right to identify him?Check out our blog for more information, photos, and the sources used for this episode.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)
