An alleged car accident out of the late 90s in Washington state that makes no sense whatsoever, seems to line up in quite a few ways with Israel Keyes. Josh and French head down to Morton, Washington to investigate. And a book found in Israel Keyes's shed sheds light on a lot of his known criminal behavior.

Five years ago today, I released my very first podcast episode. To celebrate the milestone, every few weeks during the hiatus, I'll be sharing some of my favorite episodes I've produced. "Luna the Whale" was the 9th episode from my first podcast, Our Americana. It premiered back in 2016, and while my tech and editing abilities have evolved, the story is as powerful and heartfelt as ever.
