He became the country's richest man, and then its fifth president. But he vanished during a political coup, and was never seen again.www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.comwww.patreon.com/ohiomysterieswww.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
