This episode shares a meaningful update in the case involving Carla Atkins and Vickie Stout, two half-sisters who disappeared in Tennessee in 1980 and were later found murdered near Land Between the Lakes. 

Since the original episode aired, new information has come to light through follow up research and conversations that helped validate key details previously discussed. That validation reached investigators, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, marking an important shift in how the case is being viewed. 

In this update, the focus is not on speculation, but on what has been confirmed, what aligns with existing timelines, and why this moment feels different from past developments that ultimately led nowhere. The episode revisits critical elements of the case, including the disappearance, witness reports, and lingering questions that have remained unanswered for more than forty years. 

There is also reflection on the responsibility of revisiting active cases, the importance of protecting families, and why certain details remain intentionally undisclosed while the investigation continues. While no conclusions are drawn, the episode carries a cautious sense of momentum and the possibility that long overdue answers may finally be within reach. 

This update is for listeners who have followed the case closely and for anyone interested in how cold cases can slowly move forward when persistence, validation, and the right attention converge. 

If you have any information on the murders of Carla Atkins and Vickie Stout, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's (TBI) at 1-800-TBI-FIND. You can hear more from Amelia by following her podcast, Murder At Land Between the Lakes.

This episode pulls back the curtain on what actually happens behind the scenes when a case comes in. 

Rather than focusing on a single investigation, this conversation walks through the full process of how cases are handled, from the first call to the follow up work that happens long after a reading ends. It explains the critical differences between working with law enforcement versus working directly with families, and why those distinctions matter for safety, accuracy, and integrity. 

You’ll hear how readings are conducted when police are involved, why details are intentionally withheld, how information is recorded and validated, and why cases are rarely one and done. The episode also addresses the emotional reality families face, the risks when people act on raw information without proper oversight, and why strict checks and balances are now required before any case is taken on. 

There are real world examples shared, including work with sheriff’s departments, international law enforcement, and cases where boundaries were not yet in place and lessons were learned the hard way. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on responsibility, protecting everyone involved, and doing the work the right way even when emotions are high and answers are desperately wanted. 

This is an honest look at the systems, limits, and accountability behind the cases, and why slowing the process down is sometimes the most important part of helping move it forward.

Unsolved cases have a way of sticking with you, long after the details fade. 

In this episode, Kate Casey joins the conversation to unpack three haunting disappearances that continue to raise questions decades later. From the mysterious fate of the Sodder children after a Christmas Eve house fire, to the unexplained disappearance of former child actor Joe Pichler, to the heartbreaking case of the Beaumont children who vanished from an Australian beach in broad daylight. 

Together, the discussion explores what we know, what still doesn’t add up, and why these cases remain so unsettling. Beyond the facts, the conversation naturally drifts into deeper territory around grief, the afterlife, and how people process loss when there is no closure. 

They talk about the idea that some connections don’t end when a life does, reflections on reincarnation and soul connections, and why certain stories seem to follow us for years. Heavy topics are balanced with empathy, curiosity, and moments that feel grounding rather than sensational. 

This episode is for anyone drawn to unsolved mysteries, interested in the emotional side of true crime, or searching for meaning when answers never come.

In this solo episode, Jonathan opens up about the last few weeks, the overwhelming support he’s received, and why he’s more motivated than ever as he prepares for Season 3 in 2026. He also shares exciting updates about the direction of the show, including a renewed focus on unsolved cases, missing persons, and meaningful one-on-one readings with listeners. 

Then Jonathan walks through his recent collaboration with the Daily Mail, where he was asked to tap into a case he’d never encountered before: The Lost Boys of Pickering. He breaks down the known facts, the strange lack of evidence, and the theories surrounding the disappearance of six teenagers in 1995. Jonathan also explains what came through during his reading and why he believes witnesses may still be out there who haven’t spoken up. 

It’s a raw, thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at Jonathan’s process, his perspective on the case, and what he hopes comes next.
