I'm so glad you are here and listening to this to this true crime episode of into the Dark. Thank you guys for all of your continued love and Support. For my 10 seconds this week, Daisy has really just been missing her dad. Garrett has been at the bagel shop all the time. So it's really just been me and Daisy against the world lately and she is not happy. She's not happy. She does not want to only be with me and she misses her dad. So if she whines or is being needy at all during this recording, you know why. All right you guys, that's it. And let's get into today's episode. Now I want you to imagine that you're in a dangerous situation. Like maybe you woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone breaking into your home. Or you're walking alone down the street well after dark and you notice that a stranger is following you. Or you might even receive threatening messages from an example or an acquaintance who seems to be obsessed with you. If you're like most people, your first instinct would probably be to call the police. It is their job to keep people safe and to investigate crimes. Except some people are hesitant to contact the authorities even when they are in danger. Officers don't always have good reputations. Some can be corrupt, incompetent, or even more dangerous than the criminals they're supposed to be stopping, which means it's worth asking. If you can't count on the police to keep you safe, then who can you rely on? Now, thankfully, most people can go their entire lives without having to ask those kinds of questions. Violent crime is rare, so even if you don't really trust the police, you can still potentially have a fairly normal life without ever even needing to call them. In 2003, that was mostly true for a 20 year old woman named Rachel Good. She probably never thought about becoming a victim of a violent crime. She just didn't have that kind of personality. She didn't worry or wonder about dark things very often. Instead, Rachel was optimistic and trusting and always saw the best in other people. Rachel had spent her whole life in the Virginia town of Elkton and she was very outgoing. She was the sort of person who was always trying to make new friends and form close bonds. Anytime she met somebody, she would immediately try to find out what they had in common. She would make plans and basically treat that person like a good friend from day one. Now, unfortunately, this could be a bit of a problem for her. According to Rachel's mother, Brenda, Rachel was actually pretty insecure. Deep down she wanted everyone to like her and worked very hard to keep people in her life, even people who didn't treat her well or respect her. Rachel, according to sources, was one of those people who could never get comfortable when she was alone with herself. She needed other people around her all the time. She was very close to her parents and her older brother, but even they weren't enough sometimes. As Rachel was growing up, she desperately wanted to be surrounded by her friends constantly. Her day to day life was an ongoing string of parties, lunch dates, get togethers, anything to make Rachel feel like there were people around her and like she wasn't alone. Now sadly, this meant that she sometimes did let the wrong people in her life. See, Rachel's mother noticed that she could be naive, failing to notice the red flags when she was getting to know someone that could be toxic. Now naturally, this meant she had to deal with a lot of pain and heartbreak. Rachel trusted the wrong people. She worked too hard to try and make them happy and she tolerated a lot of bad treatment. And she was also always looking for love because Rachel dreamed of getting married someday and having a really big family. But by the fall of 2003, when she was just 20 years old, she was already a single mother of three. She hadn't found the right guy yet, but she lived in her own apartment away from her parents and she was still trying to find romance, friendship, and acceptance. Luckily, Rachel did have a few genuine, real friends, despite the rocky ones, the sort of people who really did care about her and have her back. And on the evening of October 18, 2003, she was hanging out with these friends. They didn't have any big or elaborate plans that night. They were just chilling in a parking lot behind the local fire department. But at about 6pm things were kind of winding down. The sun was setting, it was getting kind of cold, so it wasn't comfortable to hang out around outside anymore. And Rachel told her friends, okay, that's it. Good night. And she left. And since everyone was still in the parking lot, they all watched her climb into her car, which was a Dodge Neon, and then drive away. Now, a little while later that same night, someone actually spotted Rachel at a bowling alley. She looked like she was on a date because she was there with a guy. So that person didn't want to interrupt her. Despite the fact that they knew her and they didn't say anything to her. The night felt like it was playing out in a normal way. Nothing unusual was going on. She had hung out with her friends and then gone on a date. That was until the next morning. See, Rachel had plans to hang out with another friend early the following day on October 19th. The friend's name hasn't been released to the public. I'm going to call her Diane now. Diane was excited to spend some quality time with Rachel that morning. They had plans to meet up sometime before noon, but the morning comes and Rachel never showed up, which was really weird and out of character for her. Remember, she loves hanging out with people. She's pretty desperate for people to like her. She was always trying really hard to seem laid back and easy to deal with. Rachel never blew people off or came to her appointments late because she'd never dream of giving anyone a reason to be annoyed with her. She was a people pleaser. So right away, her friend Diane knew something was wrong. And she took Rachel's absence extremely seriously. Immediately, Diane called the police to report Rachel missing. She hadn't even spoken to Rachel's family yet to see if she was just running late or had forgotten about their plans. She just had a bad feeling. She knew this was the right move. Now, as soon as Diane got in touch with the Elkton Police Department, she found herself talking to an officer named Adam Williams. Except once Diane began to explain what was going on, Adam Williams refused to take her statement. He said, hey, we have a policy. Only family members can Report a person missing. If Diane wasn't actually related to Rachel, then there was nothing he could do. For the record, this is 2003. This policy does not exist. There was nothing preventing Adam from taking Diane's report, But she didn't know enough about missing persons investigations to realize that he was giving her bad information. Diane believed what Adam was saying, and she figured, okay, I'll just reach out to Rachel's family and let them go report her missing. So she gives them a call, and when they heard what she had to say, they agreed that Diane's instincts were completely correct. It just was not like Rachel to disappear without a word. And this. This tells you how. How well these people know Rachel. So her parents, Carrie and Brenda tried to do what Diane hadn't been able to do. They called the county sheriff, not the local Elkton police department. And as soon as they were on the phone with an operator, the dispatch said something weird. They explained that they already knew Rachel was missing because someone from the Elkton department had notified them. Now, the dispatcher didn't say who they had talked to at Elkton, but apparently an officer called the sheriff's department earlier to say he was leading the investigation into Rachel Good's disappearance. He didn't want any other departments to get involved or interfere with his work. And he told the sheriffs to ignore any reports they got about her being missing because they were handling it. Now, this is incredibly weird and not the way these sorts of investigations work. Plus, Brenda and Carrie didn't understand why the officer had refused to talk to Diane. But now that same department was claiming to work on the case. It didn't make any sense either way. The sheriff's department said, hey, go talk to the local police, not us. They're handling the case. Which is exactly what Carrie and Brenda then did. They went in person to the Elkton department and asked to talk to the chief. They were sick of getting contradictory information. No one had heard or seen from Rachel still, and they just wanted someone to take the disappearance seriously. Now, after they told the chief about everything that had happened, and he said he'd open a file on her, and then he assigned an officer to lead the investigation. This just sounds like miscommunication and not very professional. Now, the person he assigns the case to is the same man who had refused to take Diane's report earlier. Officer Adam Williams. Again, he was Fairly young, just 22 years old. He wasn't very high ranking. In fact, it was pretty close to the beginning of his career. But Adam had a good Reputation around town. He was married. People saw him as an upstanding husband and citizen. But in spite of all of that, he did not make a good impression on Carrier Brenda, just like Diane. Instead, they got the sense that he wasn't taking the investigation seriously at all. Rachel's parents tell him about how she had missed her appointment with Diane that morning. They talked about how out of character it was, how Rachel just simply never blew off plans like that. But Adam didn't even ask a single follow up question. Seemed like he barely cared. However, he did seem nervous about something. Brenda noticed that Adam's hands were shaking as he took notes on her disappearance. But she didn't understand why he was having such an intense reaction when his words were saying otherwise. Either way, she and her husband just tried to focus on giving their statement. They didn't want to get distracted with whatever was going on with this police police officer. Rachel was what mattered. And once they were done, Adam said he'd do everything he could to find her. And then he told them goodbye. They left the station and they just did not have a good feeling. They didn't trust Adam, but they also didn't know why he was being difficult. In fact, why this whole process was difficult. The point was, Brenda and Carrie felt like they needed to do more to advocate for Rachel. So that afternoon, they decided to drive to her apartment. They wanted to see if they could find any clues in her home. And when they pulled up to her building, Carrie and Brenda immediately spotted two vehicles that caught their attention. First, Rachel's car was parked in its usual spot like she had never left. This meant she hadn't driven away willingly. And whatever had happened to her, it had been after she made it home from her meetup with her friends or the bowling alley. Now, aside from Rachel's vehicle, there was also a squad car parked nearby. And after Carrie and Brenda got out of their car, they saw a police officer leave the vehicle. And of course, it's Adam, the officer assigned to their case. He said he had wanted to search Rachel's apartment just like what Brenda and Carrie were about to do. But he was alone. There weren't any other officers with him to help him look. No forensic experts to collect DNA, no photographers to take pictures of the scene. Nothing. And furthermore, Carrie and Brenda didn't understand why he had just been sitting in his car outside of the building. If that's what he's here for, why hadn't he gone in? Adam explained he didn't have a key. He had been waiting for someone to Let him in. Which, again, this is incredibly strange. He's a police officer. He could have gotten a warrant and then scheduled an appointment with the landlord. He could have even called Carrie and Brenda to ask them to let him in. Usually detectives don't sit outside of buildings and hope someone will happen to drive by and open the door. So Rachel's parents had no idea what to make of all of this. But whatever. They wanted to cooperate and help Adam find their daughter, which is why they let him inside. And his search was, again, not very thorough. According to them, Adam walked into the kitchen, he opened a drawer, dug around in it for a few seconds, apparently didn't find whatever he was looking for in there because he closed the drawer and said he was done with his search. Seriously, that was it. He didn't look anywhere else. He didn't even go into any other rooms. He didn't check other drawers or cupboards. He didn't look for blood or DNA or ask if she had security cameras. He walked in and checked one drawer. I mean, the whole situation felt like a complete joke. It was one more sign to them that Adam was not taking the investigation seriously. So after he left, Brenda and Carrie are like, hey, well, we're actually going to search the place. We're going to look around. The couple looked through the kitchen and the living room. They found Rachel's purse and her house keys, two items she'd most likely never leave home without. This, along with the fact that her car was still parked out front, it just proved to them even more that Rachel hadn't disappeared willingly. But unfortunately, Brenda and Carrie couldn't find any other evidence to show where she had gone or even who she had been with. So next, they drove all over town and through rural areas, through the whole county. Brenda and Carrie doug through public dumpsters and march through wooded areas, wondering if they would stumble across Rachel or if they'd managed to find a clue about where she had gone. But none of those searches paid off and they didn't find any more information. You guys, I am so excited to talk to you about Poshmark. This is a newer sponsor, but I love Poshmark.

Finally, Carrie and Brenda talked to Rachel Goode's friends, her good friends, and that's how they actually learned something about their missing daughter. According to her good friends, Rachel had a boyfriend. She'd never mentioned him to her parents before and it may have been because she was a little embarrassed. See, Rachel's friends claim Rachel was dating a married man, but they didn't know his name or anything about him. They just knew that he was cheating on his wife with Rachel. Now, apparently, the two of them had been sneaking around and hiding their relationship because they didn't want the wife to find out. And as if this wasn't bad enough, Rachel had recently told some of her friends that she believed she was pregnant. She was about 10 weeks along. And she believed the married guy. Yeah, he was the father. It was too early for her to start showing, so she'd been able to hide the pregnancy for the most part. But all of this is a shock to Rachel's parents and family. And they realized that if the rumors were true, what her friends were telling them was true, this meant Rachel's boyfriend, whoever he was, had a pretty good motive to hurt her or make her disappear. So now her parents are desperate to find out who this mystery man was. So at one point, they actually go back to Rachel's apartment, and they look through all of her personal papers. They were hoping to find his name written in an appointment book or maybe even a business card. But they found something even better. Something that blew the case wide open. Carrie and Brenda. Her parents spotted a stack of letters that Rachel had saved. They were love notes she had sent and received from her boyfriend. And they confirmed everything her friends had said. Rachel had written to this man to say, hey, I'm carrying your baby. And then he had replied and basically ordered her to get an abortion. He'd said that he couldn't let his wife find out what had been going on. He was not willing to be a part of a child's life. But according to the letters, Rachel had refused. She'd wanted to keep the baby. This exchange showed that the guy had a very clear motive. He might have wanted to hurt or even kill Rachel to stop her from exposing the affair or having a child he didn't want to. And more importantly, the letters included the name of the affair partner. Now, you may already know where this is going, and if you don't, well, here's a major twist. Her affair partner is Adam Williams, the lead officer on Rachel's case. The man who had refused to take Diane's statement, who hadn't asked a single question when Carrie and Brenda had reported Rachel missing, and who'd barely even tried to search her apartment. No wonder he just went for one drawer. Now, Carrie and Brenda wondered if this was because he already knew what had happened to Rachel. Because Maybe he had something to do with it. This is just a complete and utter shock to them. But it gets even worse than that, because remember how I mentioned that someone apparently had seen Rachel at a bowling alley the night of her disappearance? Well, like I said, she was with a man, and that man was Adam, meaning he was most likely the last person to ever be seen with her, at least publicly. And the two of them were alone together for part of that night. She was alone with him, last seen with him, and now she's missing, and he's basically stalling the investigation. Now, right away, Rachel's family go back to the Elkton Police Department, and they told Adam's chief. They go in and they're like, you're never going to believe what we found out. It is completely inappropriate for Adam to be in charge of our daughter's investigation. He clearly had a conflict of interest. He's actually probably a top suspect now. The chief said he'd never had any idea that Rachel and Adam were even involved. He claimed Adam hadn't disclosed that information, even though it would have been really important. Not that Brenda and Carrie even believed the chief. They now wondered if he knew all along it might be covering for Adam. Either way, Adam seems incredibly guilty, because if he hadn't been involved in Rachel's disappearance, you'd think he would share everything he knew. The fact that he was still lying about the affair. It didn't look good. Well, now that the chief had this information and other people knew about it, he took Adam off the case, and he called in the Virginia State Police to take over the investigation. Because they could be unbiased. They opened a brand new file and began handling everything properly with appropriate searches and multiple officers working together. But let's be realistic here. Adam had led Rachel's investigation for four days before her family learned about the affair. Those were four days in which he had free reign to tamper with evidence, destroy it. Four days to clean up the crime scene, dispose of any remains, even intimidate witnesses. We do not know for sure if he actually did any of those things, but certainly could have. And it gets even worse than that, because after the chief of police reassigned the case, he also put Adam on administrative leave. So basically, he confesses to Adam that he's in serious trouble. He wasn't allowed to come back to work until the department knew he could be trusted. The chief also told Adam not to leave town in the near future. And a short while later, a team of investigators got a search warrant for Adam's home. They scoured it from the top to the bottom, but they didn't find anything incriminating. But either way, cat's out of the bag for Adam. There was no proof that Adam had hurt Rachel, but he also couldn't be ruled out as a suspect yet. So the state kept looking. And months went by without any major rakes. Adam didn't get cleared to return to work. So By January of 2004, about three months after Rachel Goode's disappearance, Adam quits his job. And, I mean, it didn't make sense for him to stay with the force at this point. Except right after he resigned, Adam and his wife moved out of state. So basically ignoring what the chief had said about not leaving town until his case was closed. And even though this was incredibly suspicious, nobody can go after him. No one arrested him, brought him back to Virginia. No one even gave him a slap on the wrist. It was like he was just free to go. Seemed like the Elkton Police Department, Adam's old friends and co workers, were just kind of willing to go. Yep, he moved, and maybe he's not our suspect. And Rachel's family weren't happy with how the new investigators were handling the case either, because they spent a lot of time chasing leads that had nothing to do with Adam, While ignoring the fact that this is suspicious. He has motive. This is most likely their top suspect. For example, the police set up a tip line and let people call in with information about possible sightings. But a ton of people reported misinformation. They repeated rumors that weren't true or made prank calls or shared theories when they didn't have any facts to back them up. The detectives wasted a lot of time and energy following false leads that led nowhere. And on top of that, several eyewitnesses had seen a red truck driving near Rachel's apartment building the day after she went missing. Now, nobody knew who owned the truck or who'd been driving it, and there was no real evidence that it actually even had anything to do with her disappearance at all. But the police spent a lot of time and resources trying to find this red truck and figure out who owned it. They treated it like it was a major lead, but we don't know why. Why are they doing this? So, sadly, even after a long investigation and several calls for tips, they never learned whose truck it was. And to this day, it is still unclear if that truck had anything to do with the case and why the police were so interested in it. Critics complained that the truck was just a distraction, a way for the detectives to pretend they were looking for Rachel while kind of letting the real criminal get away. Now, whether that's true or not, this is a cover up. Months and then years went by and the investigation went totally cold. And the more time went on, the more obvious it was to Rachel's family that she was probably dead. I mean, they didn't know for sure because her body still hadn't been found. But Carrie and Brenda knew she'd never go this long without calling or letting anyone know she was okay. She wouldn't abandon her children, her family, or her friends. So her relatives accepted that she was gone forever, and they did what they could to grieve her. And then, as the anniversaries of the disappearance added up, they became angry at the police because justice still hadn't been done.

Quince.com dark and pretty soon it is 2011, eight years after Rachel's disappearance and her father, Carrie, decided to take action. He filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Adam, the chief of police, the Elkton Police Department, and the city of Elkton itself. He argued that Adam had almost certainly murdered Rachel because she was pregnant with his child. And the police department, its chief and the city should have done a better job of keeping Adam away from the investigation. They should have had checks and balances in place so he couldn't have interfered. Now Kerry had a hard time getting his suit through the court system. In fact, his lawyer told him it might be smart to just drop the case entirely. The attorney thought there was still a chance that Rachel's disappearance could be solved. And he didn't think it made sense to focus on a lawsuit when Adam might still be arrested and sent to prison for murder. But while years kept going by without an arrest or any real developments. So he finally moved forward with the lawsuit, only for Cary to hit more roadblocks. See, his case went to court, but the jury's decision was split. They couldn't decide whether Adam, the department or even anyone else had done anything wrong. This was in part because there was a lot of information that Carrie wasn't allowed to present during the trial. Since the criminal investigation was still ongoing, he couldn't access certain police files and official documents. So Kerry actually withdrew his suit and filed a new one where he was only targeting Adam and nobody else. Basically, he decided to sue Adam for allegedly murdering Rachel. But he wasn't blaming the police department, the chief, or the city anymore for letting him work on the case. By now, it was 2017. Rachel had been missing for 15 years, and her father probably just wanted some sort of justice. Now, Adam tried to have the case thrown out, saying too much time had passed. And when a judge didn't buy that argument, Adam found ways to stall. He said he'd been in a car accident, and now he had no way to get to the courthouse from out of state. And after all that, he tried to just pretend that the lawsuit wasn't happening at all. He never filed any paperwork related to it. He didn't show show up in court during the trial, which obviously just means he lost the case. So the judge ruled that Adam had to pay $50,000 in damages. Again, this wasn't a criminal trial. This was a lawsuit for murder. The money was supposed to go to Rachel's three children, who had been growing up without a mother. But according to multiple sources, he never gave her family the money. It's unclear what the next step will be in the legal process or if they'll ever get justice for their daughter. I will say, though, losing a lawsuit is not the same thing as being convicted of murder, especially if you lose on a technicality because you never even showed up in court. This loss didn't change anything with Rachel's investigation. Adam didn't give the police any grounds to investigate or arrest Adam. In fact, I'm sorry to say that Rachel Good's case is still unsolved today. She was legally declared dead in 2010, even though her body still hasn't been found. This also means we don't know for sure how she died, but the Virginia police have officially classified her case as a homicide. And many people, including Rachel's parents, believe Adam killed her and got away with it, allegedly. However, there aren't any other suspects or leads. Rachel didn't have any enemies, so it's hard to imagine anyone else who would have wanted to hurt her. That said, I have to acknowledge that Adam has never been charged with anything related to Rachel's disappearance or death. He's considered innocent until he's proven guilty. And it is possible that he had nothing to do with Rachel going missing. These days, he refuses to consent to lie detector tests or interrogations on the advice of his lawyer, which is a reasonable stance if you're innocent, but it's incredibly frustrating if you're guilty. And until new evidence can be found, like maybe her body, it's impossible to say what actually happened to Rachel Goode. Her father, Carrie, said in an interview that he still hopes someone will find her remains soon. Of course, he'd be sad to get confirmation that Rachel is dead, but at least he'll know for sure and he won't have to keep wondering. So the search for Rachel is still ongoing. When she was Last seen in 2003, she was 5 foot 4 and weighed 180 pounds. She was wearing jeans and a yellow T shirt with stud earrings in her ears. Rachel was white. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. And if she is still alive, she'd be 41 years old. Now, if you know anything about her disappearance, you can call her tip line at 548-297-400. Now, as I wrap up, I have to acknowledge it's understandable why Rachel's family doesn't trust the Elkton Police Department at this point. And if they're ever in a situation where they need help with a different criminal issue, I'm not sure who they can realistically turn to. Even if Adam is innocent, his colleagues still mishandled her disappearance. They made major mistakes, and this made it very difficult for Rachel's parents to believe anything the officers said. And sadly, sometimes the people who are in charge of keeping you safe don't actually help you. If there's anything we know, a badge in a uniform aren't always enough to inspire trust in ordinary people. And that could be a good thing, because police are human beings like everyone else, meaning they also have flaws. They could be dangerous. And in this situation, it just might have been that. That is the story of Rachel. Good. Thank you guys so much for going into the dark with me today. Again, this case is still unsolved, so if you have any information, please call the number I gave you and I will see you next time. Goodbye.
