Unresolved: A True Crime & Mystery Podcast

"The child is fine. She was in good shape, but she's too young to talk."

On the evening of Thursday, December 12, 1985, shoppers at a K-Mart in Spanaway found a toddler loitering outside the entrance. She'd been spotted playing with two other children outside the store, but as shoppers came and went, the little girl remained outside. The store's assistant manager reported a missing child over the store's intercom, but that did nothing to rouse a parent or guardian.

Because of her difficulties communicating, the little girl was unable to say much about how she'd ended up outside the store, much less where her parents had gone. But when asked what had happened to her mother, the girl could only say that "Mommy was in the trees."

"Not until those pictures came out... yeah, then the biggest rule was 'no fucking cameras.'"

In January 2007, a user named Deathlyillington posted a video to YouTube. Roughly three minutes long, the video didn't feature any visually graphic content. It was just three guys - two in front of the camera, one behind it - chatting about one's experiences over in Iraq. Specifically, during his time stationed at Abu Ghraib, the notorious prison outside of Baghdad that had become synonymous with human rights abuses during the war.

In this video, the young man details the casual dehumanization of Iraqis that had become routine to him, including the CIA's involvement in teaching interrogation techniques and physical torture. He also expresses a blanket contempt for all Iraqis, guilty and innocent alike. Then the cameraman asks him what the most fun thing he did over there was...

"Somebody needs to pay for what happened. To be disposed of like garbage is so sad."

On August 28th, 2019, a construction crew arrived at a property just north of Lake Tapps in Pierce County, Washington, to clear and tear down a dilapidated trailer that had been abandoned for years. The lot had been vacant for some time and the structure was already coming down. It was, by all appearances, routine demolition work.

An excavator operator working the site noticed a blue yard waste bin on the property. It was sealed shut. Screwed closed, in fact, which is not how yard waste bins typically come. When the operator managed to open it, he found a blanket inside, shaped unmistakably like a human body and held together with duct tape...

“I try to picture where he was, what it might’ve been like, what circumstances would’ve made him sound like that.”

In September of 2015, 30-year-old Henry McCabe was preparing for a massive move. A Liberian immigrant living in Mounds View, Minnesota, Henry worked as a tax auditor for the state and was married with two children. His wife and he were preparing to move to California, and she'd already gone ahead with their two daughters while Henry wrapped some things up in Minnesota.

On the evening of Sunday, September 6th - Labor Day weekend - Henry decided to go out for a night with a pair of friends. Hours later, in the early morning hours of September 7th, he would place a phone call to his wife, leaving behind a strange voicemail that would baffle investigators and cast doubt on his final hours...

"The plan is now delayed, but not canceled. Be careful. I can't identify myself because they may find out and stop letting information slip."

In April of 2003, 54-year-old Philip Shue was nearing the end of his decorated military career. Having spent more than three decades in the Air Force, Philip and his wife Tracy were already making plans to move to Birmingham, Alabama. In fact, they'd just put down a deposit on their dream home and Philip had been selected for a prestigious fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at the University of Alabama.

But on the morning of April 16th, Philip's car was spotted by witnesses driving erratically, before careening from the road and crashing into a patch of trees. Philip was found at the scene, having been killed instantly by massive head trauma. What looked, at first, like a tragic accident would later be ruled a suicide, a conclusion made all the more difficult to accept when the full condition of Philip's body came to light. Whatever happened to him that morning, it hadn't started on that road...
