The Dark Divide

No Man’s Land (Patreon Preview) - Philip Inhofer

Nobody could understand who would ever want to hurt Philip Inhofer, a kind and quiet veteran living in Sacramento after retirement to civilian life. But on the night of March 7th 1991, his son would discover his father's lifeless body and a terrifyingly brutal crime scene. His vehicle was missing, but the overkill had authorities thinking that this was no ordinary robbery gone wrong. A name on a nightstand note would be the only lead they had to work with.

Buried With a Bullet - Taylor Wright

At the time she went missing, Taylor Wright's life was complicated and messy. Just recently divorced, the rumor on the street was that she had skipped town with a load of her ex-husband's cash. The nation would soon be captivated by this alleged mother on the run, and as the days passed the focus of suspicion would instead fix itself onto her best friend, Ashley McArthur. In between all the lies, a story of greed and betrayal would slowly emerge. After weeks of investigation, hours of interrogation and plenty of good old-fashioned detective work, authorities would still only have one question remaining: what really happened to Taylor Wright?

Smitten by her sweet nature and powerful vocals, fans were effortlessly captivated by the young star. One in particular, Kevin James Loibl, also had his sights set on Christina.

Walking With Our Sisters: MMIW Tribute - Abigail Andrews, Elaine Alook, Caitlin Potts

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, girls, 2 spirit, and gender diverse people in Canada. So today, I'm bringing you three exclusive episodes from Patreon of MMIW women in Canada that deserve more attention. 
If you'd like to support the show, JOIN PATREON for more bonus episodes like these: 
ABIGAIL ANDREWS - 01:00
Thirteen years ago, Abigail Andrews vanished without a trace from Fort St. John, British Columbia. The details of her disappearance prove how uncharacteristic it was for her to not return home. It's clear that there was foul play involved, but authorities have been tight-lipped and the case seemingly gets colder by the year. What happened to Abigail and when will justice finally be served?
ELAINE ALOOK - 15:38
It's been nineteen years since 35-year-old Elaine Frieda Alook was reported to be last seen just outside of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Her last known whereabouts immediately made her disappearance extremely suspicious to her friends and family. Elaine's image would begin an online movement between artists, activists and politicians alike. Bringing attention to a haunting history of a nation's missing and murdered indigenous women, a collective trauma still palpable throughout generations and a list of questions waiting to be answered.
CAITLIN POTTS - 28:52
On February 22, 2016 Caitlin Potts would be seen for the last time on a glimpse of security footage. It was as if the 27-year-old walked into the Orchard Park Mall in Enderby, British Columbia and vanished into thin air. But, of course, Caitlin left the mall somehow that day. Seven years later, authorities seem no closer to figuring out what happened to Caitlin than they did that day. Is Caitlin's disappearance connected to other cases involving missing women in the Okanagan area, or is the person who hurt Caitlin much closer to home?

Blue Christmas (Patreon Preview) - Mackenzie Lee Trottier

Hello listener,
It's been awhile; I so appreciate your patience. I miss making episodes & I have many deep-dives in store for you. It's always been my dream to make The Dark Divide my full time focus. If you'd like to be a part of gifting me more time to create, please consider joining the patreon! There's exclusive episodes over there & it's a great way to support the show. A lot of blood, sweat and (usually literal) tears go into each story, on top of massive amounts of time. I do all of the research, writing, narrating & audio engineering. Since episodes are ad-free, everything is 100% funded by me. So, your support gives me creative freedom to bring you more quality content much faster! 
 
As an appetizer of sorts, today I'm bringing you a snippet of the story about 22-year-old Mackenzie Lee Trottier, who was last seen in December 2020, just days before Christmas --a holiday she never would've missed spending with her family. As with so many missing persons cases, someone definitely knows something. Every day that passes, is a day lost to an ocean of time. Authorities have theories - but which road will lead to Mackenzie?
