and Massacre, a production of iHeartRadio and Katie Studios. There were always these rumors about Michael Moran and the women that he was around and the circles he ran in. This guy trafficking women all over the country from this little town. It's known as the epicenter of the opioid epidemic. It was public knowledge that was the crazy thing. Everybody knew the rumors and had known somebody that knew somebody that had worked for him. She left papers and it

said Michael Moran's name, his cell phone number. I had all this information that really impacted our area, and so this could have brought a lot of closure to these families who were being told nothing by our local officials, in our local enforcehood. This is the piked and massacre. Returned to Pike Season two, Episode seven, twenty five Miles South. I'm Courtney Armstrong, a television producer at Katie Studios with

Stephanie Lydecker and Jeff Shane. In episode five of this season, we explored the allegations of corruption and the subsequent arrest of Pike County Share of Charlie Reader. But his story is just one of many that has illuminated alleged abuses of power perpetrated by those involved in Southern Ohio's criminal justice system. So in this episode, we want to focus on another case that has long affected a community just twenty five miles south of Piketon, in a town called Portsmouth, Ohio.

In twenty fifteen, a reporter named Nicki Blankenship began investigating rumors of human trafficking in the town. Like many small Ohio towns, Portsmouth has a long, rich history of industrial might, preceding an era of rapid urban decay. Here's James Pilcher, a reporter for Local twelve News and Cincinnati, speaking with our producer Chris Graves. Portsmouth is the county seat of Theodore County, which fit's right below Pike County, so it's

about thirty to forty five minutes south of Pike. Then Portsmouth has this you know, rust belt, burned out industrial field. There are half empty, two empty factories in the middle of the city. At one point US Shoe had their biggest plant there, and then obviously, you know the global economy and we all know what happened to manufacturing in the Midwest. It still has a small profitable steel mill downtown, but it's barely hanging on. So it's kind of like

a city that was forgotten. Yes when the manufacturing industry began to disappear. Portsmouth was besieged by the drug trade. Nicky Blanketship grew up in the area and saw the devastation firsthand. Your area has been really hit by the opiate crisis, right, Yeah, we call ourselves ground zero for the opiate ever make I've lived in Ohio since nineteen eighty four Insider County, so yeah, I've lived here in

my whole life. Remember in high school, people around me, they would start out with small pain pills and then oxycott and hit and it was no longer recreational drug use that people would win at parties. You were seeing people become addicted very very very quickly. In two thousand and eight, Nikki started writing about the issue for a

local newspaper. I started out covering the drug epidemic. I was the first in the area to do stories on oxycotton and looking at overdose rates in the area and started asking those questions from the corner's office about how many of these depths that we're seeing are connected to opiate use, And then started looking into pill mills and we ended up shutting down over twenty three pill mills

Insider County. Nikki's reporting helped shut a light on the area's drug problem, but other illicit industries sprung up around it. Nikki was there to cover it all. In twenty thirteen, I did a series that ran for months on prostitution, and I was walking the streets with some of these girls. I also talked to like parents of women that were working on the streets, and talked to officers about the

problem and local businesses about how it affected them. It was interesting because when I was doing these stories, I started seeing a lot of names come up from these girls. The one mentioned most often was Michael Moran. Michael Moran, he's in his mid seventies, long time defense attorney, you know, d wise, drug offenses, those kinds of things. He had his own firm in Portsmouth, and at one point in the late two thousands he got himself appointed as a

city councilman of Portsmouth. He's a very public person, so if there was a Red Cross banquet or something that I was covering, he would be there. So he's been around my whole career pretty much. Now. Rumors have been circulating about Mike Moran for years. These stories about him being involved in prostitution go all the way back to thee than these. A lot of those stories are just about him hiring girls dance and at local parties and

poker games. It was the secret that everyone choked about, but no one really talked about, and it was pretty common knowledge. I think I mentioned like a Red Cross banquet I had to cover once. He was there with a girl known to be arrested for prostitution, known to be arrested for drug abuse, and she was there. You could tell that she was under the influence by her behavior.

She was being very loud and on a cell phone in the middle of this banquet and speaking very appropriately for the setting, and Mike's just laughing with her, and a city councilman at the time actually leaned over towards me jokingly elbowed me on the side and said, there's Mike and one of his girls. It's just always been known as Nicky. Began exploring Moran's ties to the local

sex trade. The story grew much darker. I was interviewing some people who were in an impatient treatment facility, and I found out that one of the women over the program was involved with a human trafficking program, and so I started talking with her about human trafficking and she said that when women are arrested at a certain agent, Moran has been going to see them in jail and got them charges in exchange for doing sexual favors for

him and working in prostitution. Nicky further explained the allegations leveled against Moran by area women at the corrupt of what he does is he offers his legal services to get these women out of jail and then puts them under his employee. Yes, he gets women out of jail,

and that basically gets them into his clutches. Other stories are that people are hired as dog walkers or as cleaners and and said are actually working in prostitution, and affidavit filed by the DA would later support these accounts. James Pilcher explained that this method of manipulation marks the distinction between prostitution and human trafficking. Some people will say, oh, well, these women knew what they were doing, They were just

trying to make money. These women were prostitutes. Well, if you talk to the experts, it went one step beyond that. It went into trafficking. Because some of those allegations Moran was holding over them, the fact that they were drug addicts, even he would withhold their money or withhold the wherewithal to get drugs. So the statute says, if you withhold or threatened to withhold money that women need for drugs

or withhold the drugs, it's trafficking because it's coercion. Anytime you can prove coercion, it's trafficking both in the Ohio law and federal level. We're going to take a quick break here. We'll be back in a moment. Oh. I'm Carol Fisher, and I'm hosting a podcast called The Girl Friends. Back in the nineteen nineties in Las Vegas, a few of us dated the most eligible bachelor in town, Bob. He spoke several languages, he did medical missionary work, and

he was Jewish. He was perfect on paper, but he wasn't. He really wasn't. He shouted into the point where she went unconscious. Bob could lie about anything, but only takes the one time when somebody ends up dead. Unfortunately for Bob, us girlfriends know how to fight back. I wanted him to pay for his crime. He needed to be put to justice. I'll be honest with you. If I saw him right now, I'd spit on him. I would call him and I would say, I know you killed my sister.

I will always hound you and haunt you. You can listen to the girlfriends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

One Quiet Night, Staffs Aren't Robert Bales left his combat outpost alone.

He walked into two villages and started shooting, killing sixteen civilians, many of them children. Maybe I'm made a mistake, maybe I am wrong, but you have to understand the way it went down. We've conducted a series of interviews with one of America's most notorious war criminals. They paint a complex portrait of a man changed by the global War on Terror. The idea of hurting a kid killing a kid.

Come on. The War Within the Robert Bales Story is an investigative podcast revealing explosive information on one of the most controversial events in American military history. Baal's actions are merely a symptom of a broken army. Listen to The War Within the Robert Bale Story on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some believe Michael Moran's reach goes farther than even human trafficking. In

twenty thirteen, a Portsmouth woman named Megan Lancaster disappeared. Michael Moran has denied any involvement or responsibility in her disappearance. Additionally, authorities have not brought any charges against him in the case. At this time, it's unclear whether they have questioned him in the matter. Megan, it's probably the case that is closest to my heart, and that's mostly her sister in law, Katie Lancaster, has just screamed and screamed and screamed on

her behalf. My name is Katie Lancaster and I am the sister in law and best friend of Megan Lancaster who has been missing from Stoda County since April third, twenty thirteen. Who was Megan Lancaster and how did you meet? We met at a it was called Soda County Joint Vocational School. We were both taking cosmetology. And she is a wonderful, loving, gives a shirt off her back person that I know for a fact that if this tragedy had to happen to anybody, she would have given everything

she had to save the next person. Megan and Katie formed an unbreakable bond and soon they became family members. I was spending about every night with Megan, pretty much on school night. Megan would say, my brother wants to take you on a date, So I said, okay, okay, like I'll let him take me for dinner and so on and so forth. And I did that well. I never left. I was seventeen, and we just hit it off and fell in love. Katie and Meghan's brother Jimmy,

were married in two thousand and five. A few months later, Katie became pregnant soon after, Megan did as well. I went into labor August thirty first, had my baby September first, like in the middle of the night, and she had her baby November fourth, So we were legitimately only, you know, a couple of months apart. In two thousand and six, Megan gave birth to a son named Reese. Being a young single mother was tough, but Megan seemed to have a bright future ahead of her. Any sports she played,

she played to the fullest. She was there for her team, always cheering everybody. On the softball she was the pitcher. She had a full ride scholarship to Shawnee State. I mean, I mean, Megan couldn't have been any smarter than what she was. Despite her intelligence and athleticism, Megan fell victim to the drug epidemic that gripped the Portsmouth area She was open that you know that she used rugs, that she used a needle. It was rough, and I would

tell her. I would say, Megan, I would try to play both sides, like her friend and her sister in law, because I would say, Megan, you need to get help and you need to change for you first and foremost, but at the same time, you need to do it for Reece because he needs you. And her answer was, Katie, why change it now? Everybody's gonna look at me the same way. I'm never gonna live down the things I've done. I'm never gonna be able to change that opinion that

people have of me. She just couldn't see past the past, you know, path the things that she felt people would never forgive, and then that point took over Megan and it led to more years later, a strange encounter with Megan would leave Katie forever suspicious of one local man, Michael Moran. I was in walmoret with Jeremy, and all of a sudden, I see Megan come bouncing down the aisle and I'm like, what the hell was she wearing?

It was literally Santa Lingerie. To be honest, she said, I'm here to get something for this party I'm doing for Marian it's a bachelor party, and I'm just like, okay, but again, what why are you in here in that outfit? Is you like, because this is what I'm wearing to the party, and I'm like, get get whatever you're getting in, Get the heck out of here before you get arrested for indecent exposure? Can you describe April third, twenty thirteen.

April third, twenty thirteen, Megan went missing. That day, she was with her mom. She went to her mom's early in the morning, said Mom, I need to pay my insurance because she had been pulled out over and cold over card been impounded for literally like sixty dollars in back child support or something. So her mom followed her to Portsmouth. Megan got in her mom's car down in Portsmouth, they rode down to the bonding company. They paid her insurance, then got back in her own care her Mustang, and

they went their own ways. Later that day, Megan called her mother, Marcy, to make arrangements to see her son. She said, Mom, I'll be there to stay the night with Reese. But that night Megan never showed up, you know, And then the next day, Marcy tried to get a hold of her cut and went by her apartment. Her car wasn't there, so Mark's thought she's out running the streets or whatever, you know, out running the road. Didn't

think much more about it. Two days later, on April fifth, Megan's car was found in the parking lot of a local fast food restaurant. She was nowhere to be found. What stuck out about the car was the fact that it was up on the curb, and Megan would never have parked it like that. She especially, she might have pulled in if she was in a hurry and got out and got something, got right back in the car and left, but she would have never pulled in there

to leave it there like that. Inside the car, police found Megan's wallet and a small notebook that contained some suspicious entries. She left clues as to who she'd been working for, what's she'd been up to. Right, Yes, she left papers in it. They actually said dance for and Michael Marian's name, his cell phone number, and how much he paid for her to dance. We know we have this problem with missing women, and we know we have this problem with women who have been found dead in

their cases. That's never their murders have never been solved. And despite that car set our mom said Tall October of twenty thirteen. And there's a documents where they took it, where they took the car into evidence that are dated showing that. And it was really Katie and Megan's family that did all of the investigating and higher private investigators

they couldn't get in cooperation from local police. So it's Megan's case really, it's the only one that has really been made public so people can see exactly what these women have gone through and how these things have happened. If Maran was running a decades long sex trafficking operation, we're talking about some serious abuse of power. What are your thoughts on that. The abuse of power makes me completely fucking sick. Excuse my language, but I don't know

how else to put it. It It makes me sick because you know, he's in this position to help people, to help rebuild their lives if they been in trouble once or twice, you know, drug charge, what ever, they send them to treatment, they do this, they do that, but he takes it a step further and takes them like buys them what they want courses them into these things, shows them a life that they've never had before, and then boom back on drugs, back to doing what they

were doing back in trouble. And to me, that is sickening and there's no excuse. Sport. Do you think Mike Moran is involved in Megan's disaspiance. I do believe Michael Moran is involved in Megan's disappearance, and I do believe that we will eventually tie Mike Moran to Megan's disappearance. Let's stop here for another quick break. We'll be back in a moment. Oh. I'm Carol Fisher, and I'm hosting a podcast called The Girl Friends. Back in the nineteen nineties in Las Vegas, a few of us dated the

What's it like to go through losing a family member or a friend but not actually knowing what happened to them?

It's hell. I was talking to my mother in law about this today. You know, people lose people all the time, and they have a grave to go to, they have somewhere they can go visit that they know that that person is there, or they have ashes that they have or whatever what have you. But we have a flipping sign with missing on it that we decorate, and it is heartbreaking and it is hard not to know whether she's hungry, she's cold, she's being hurt, she's being abused,

or or she's dead. Not to know that is so hard. I see her mama suffer daily, or importantly, I see her baby boys suffer very badly. And I'm not saying that. You know he cries every day or no, I'm not saying that. But he has a lot of questions but we can't answer. But I can guarantee you I won't stop till I can answer him. I don't care if he's twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty, if I'm along around that long, I'll fight until I can answer those

questions for him. In an interview, Moran claimed that he only knew Megan as a police informant who was tied to a drug case he tried years back. When asked about what may have happened to her, Moran believed that she may have been murdered, though he had no information to support his statement. It should be noted that there have been no other specific allegations tying Moran to the

disappearance of any other women. Nicki Blankenship continued her investigation into human trafficking in Portsmouth, but her attempts to report on the area as missing women was met with some pushback. You kind of started this with the story. This seemed to have been local knowledge that no one was reporting on. Right. When I was first saying, let me talk about the missing women, I was told now, and what it didn't matter if there was proof. It was can we talk

about the missing women? Can I talk to their families? And I was told now. Nikki didn't let that stop her. So I have seen these things personally. In Cyder County. We say that everyone's been affected because if it's not your friend, it is or your family member, it's at least somebody you went to school with. Everybody knows somebody who's been affected by the drug epidemic, and everybody knows somebody who has turned a prostitution. So this is a

pretty personal story for you. Yeah, I spent probably my whole career, I feel like working on this, and nobody was listening to their stories before or seeing them as even human. That really made me connect with a lot of these people in their or is living here my whole life. These are my friends and my family members as well. Not specifically, but I have lost so many friends to overdose. I have so many friends that have battle addiction, and a lot of people I went to

school with are gone now. I have several friends from high schools that ended up working in prostitution. They're people, are human, and yet they're seen as a prostitute or an addict exactly. And that makes people not really care what happens to them. That makes people assume that they chose some lifestyle that is dangerous. It makes people just assume that they somehow are asking for that or whatever happens to them as a part of a lifestyle they chose,

and so they just turn a blind eye. And I think that's another thing that has made it so easy for it to happen, and that happened right in public, is that people see them as prostitutes and addicts. Nickie didn't give up searching for prooflinking Michael Moran to Smith's sex trafficking industry. I was at home a lot late at night, just going through court documents and talking to families, because a lot of these families told me I was

away personally entrusted. So then for me it was like, how do I get something more than a story from a family member or even a girl. I need some kind of profinding, some kind of document. In twenty seventeen, she got it. A man named Mark Eubanks reached out to her and passed along a copy of a sworn Affidavid filed by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Mark Cubanks, he had been reading my stories on human trafficking and on the heroin epidemic, and he just smelled me a copy

of the sild Affidavid. It was actually a part of his case, and had told me his story, which was that he had been arrested on drug charges and when he was arrested, he was immediately taken and given live detective test about missing women and dead women and Mike Moran and human trafficking. The Affidavid laid out Southern Ohio Drug Task Force and FBI operations that had been underweigh since twenty fifteen investigating Michael Moran and his ties to

area sex trafficking. He's accused of trafficking women all over the country from New York and New Jersey to Florida, racketeering, and compelling and promoting prostitution. Another thing that is in the affidavit that he was working with drug traffickers and there was a wire tap where they were able to hear some of the conversations between Moran and drug traffickers, and he was getting drugs from these drug traffickers in order to provide to the females that he had working

for him. The Affadavid specifically talks about whom working with local judges and law enforcement and adult probation to make these things happen. Nikki finally had to proof she needed that validated the stories told by Portsmouth's vulnerable women, but when she brought the document to her editor, she was shocked and they told me, no, we're not going to publish. Michael Moran would later be arrested and charged with eighteen

felony accounts, including promoting prostitution and trafficking in persons. He was released on a three hundred thousand dollar bond, which was later revoked after he violated the terms of his agreement. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and staunchly maintains his innocence. He is now under house arrest while

he awaits trial. We'll bring you the second part of the Michael Morran story in episode nine, but next week we'll be hearing from some of our regular contributors, who will discuss updates from accused brother George Wagner, the four's most recent pre trial hearing.
