Paper Ghosts, I'm in William Phelps, an investigative journalist, true crime author, and host of Paper Ghosts, a new

investigative podcast from my Heart Radio. For more than a decade, I've been searching for the person or persons responsible for the abductions and probable murders of four missing girls in my New England hometown. For over fifty years, each case has remained unsolved. I've spoken to anyone even remotely involved, friends, family, neighbors, detectives, suspects,

you name it. But it wasn't until this past year that things took an unexpected turn, and after eleven years of investigating a breakthrough, now immediately it just sat on the floor like somebody just punched me in the gut. And then the tears just came in. Came in, came answers to decades old questions.
