Where is Emily Bailey - Part 2 - Emily's Brother Ben
5d ago00:35:55Tap to summarizeThis story will take us to Hamilton, Ontario in the time surrounding new year's day 2022. 23 year old mother of two Emily Bailey was juggling mental health struggles and addition while living a life resembling something between homelessness and couch surfing. Despite the instability of her lifestyle, Emily was reliable. She posted regularly to social media and had scheduled visits with her children that she would NEVER miss. But she did miss one in January and very quickly it was determined that no one had seen or heard from her in over a week and the trail she left behind is obscured by conflicting statements of the unreliable witnesses to her last known days. All we know for certain is that her family is desperate to find her. In this episode we hear from one of the broken hearted loved ones left behind. I'll be joined by Ben Bailey, Emily's brother, to discuss the still unexplained disappearance of then 23 year old Emily Bailey.

the Disappearance of Mekayla Bali | Part 2 | Developments, Updates, and Unanswered Questions
Apr 2701:12:03Tap to summarizeIn April 2016, sixteen-year-old Mekayla Bali vanished from Yorkton, SK after a day marked by strange movements, unsettling interactions, and a timeline that remains one of the most detailed and puzzling in any Canadian missing persons case. Over the years, this story has continued to evolve and Mekayla’s disappearance has stayed in the public eye through surveillance video releases, reported sightings, and the relentless efforts of her family to find answers. Now, on the 10th anniversary of her disappearance, this two-part series presents a fully re-edited and updated version of prior Canadian Gothic episodes on the case, bringing together the known timeline, the key developments, and the questions that still remain unanswered. In part two we are joined by Madelayne Klein to discuss a series of significant developments in the case that had surfaced in the years after the interview with Paula Bali we featured in part one.
