when we think of national parks, we picture peaceful hikes, scenic overlooks and quiet moments. But Park Predators reminds us that even in the most beautiful places, dark secrets might be lurking. This podcast explores true stories of crimes that took place in the outdoors. Places meant to bring people together with nature, but where things went tragically wrong. If you're drawn to the storytelling here on the deck, you'll want to check out Park Predators. Listen to Park Predators anywhere you get your podcasts. Our card this week is Lindsay Wells, the King of Diamonds from California. Since 1999, Simi Valley detectives have had an interesting case on their hands. Over the years. The case developments have included work with a psychic medium, an undercover wire operation, and searches with cadaver dogs. But this isn't a homicide case. It's the missing persons case of 22 year old Lindsay Wells. I'm Ashley Flowers and this is the deck. On March 31, 1999, the Simi Valley Police Department received a missing persons report from a man named John Tate. He said that his fiance, Lindsay Wells, was mia. She lived with him and his mom and had been gone for a couple of days by that point. Now, John said he'd already checked around with her friends and family and they hadn't seen her either. But it's not like she could have just walked off. Lindsay didn't have a car, and the idea that she left on foot made little sense either because Lindsay was nine

That's Detective Chris Lamb with the Simi Valley Police Department. He told us that one of the more concerning parts about Lindsay's absence was that she was just weeks away from her April 17 due date and she missed a prenatal appointment on March 30, just one day before John made this report. Detective Lamb wasn't on the case back in 1999. He's been playing catch up, trying to get his arms around an investigation that was kicked off 27 years ago by now retired Detective John Parks. So it's his timeline and his supplemental reports that Detective Lamb is using to try and paint a picture of Lindsay's last movements.

I think anytime someone's missing, you're trying to solidify a timeline, a factual timeline, something to start working with. And so his initial contact was going back to speak with John to try and figure out exactly when Lindsay had gone missing.
