  • Father Hides a Daughter for 30 Years: The Dennis Reed Secret

    Father Hides a Daughter for 30 Years: The Dennis Reed Secret
    Oct 13 2026
    Father Hides a Daughter for 30 Years: The Dennis Reed Secret

    The discovery of a February 1988 telephone bill with 314 calls sealed inside a junction box sparks a slow-burn mystery about a father who logged every toll and expense yet left no explanation; who was the person Dennis Reed called 314 times in 28 days, and why was the bill hidden for decades? The first clue was a cheap birthday card postmarked Brackettville and signed "love always, Patty" - a name none of his children recognized.

    In this episode, we lay out the documents found in a farmhouse and follow the paper trail that raised questions Kenneth Reed could not answer from the grave. What do a sealed junction box, eleven toll receipts, and a single birthday card reveal about Dennis Reed's secret trips and a connection kept from his family?

    Person: Kenneth Reed
    Person: Dennis Reed
    Date: April 3, 2019
    Event: telephone bill found sealed in junction box
    Location: Brackettville, Hardin County (address on bill)

    - The telephone bill found was dated February 1988 and recorded 314 calls over 28 days.
    - Jason Allen photographed the document at 9:14 AM before touching it on April 3, 2019.
    - Eleven toll receipts from the Hardin County toll plaza on Route 24 were found dated March-October 1988.
    - The junction box was sealed with silicone caulk estimated to be from the early 1990s.

    The Photo in the Garage Window That Nobody Told Her About

    The Photo in the Garage Window That Nobody Told Her About

    A photograph taped to a garage window and a Missing Child flyer dated February 14, 1988 sat unseen for decades - the boy in the portrait was moved that night and later adopted under a different name. Who kept the secret, and why did Patricia never tell her own daughter Sharon about Daniel Croft?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline found in Patricia Gallagher’s notebook, the stack of letters and the missing-child flyer left in the Dellwood Road garage, and the chain of events that moved an eight-year-old from Harwick to Renford and into adoption - can the pieces in the garage finally answer what Patricia chose to hide?

    Person: Patricia Gallagher (later Patricia Bishop)
    Person: Sharon Bishop
    Person: Daniel Croft (later Daniel Alderman)
    Date: February 14, 1988
    Location: Dellwood Road, outside Harwick

    - On March 5, 2019 at 9:40 a.m., Amanda McCarthy parked at the end of Dellwood Road and found a school portrait taped to the inside garage window.
    - The Missing Child flyer in the window is dated February 14, 1988 and marked the boy as age eight.
    - Patricia filed a missing child report the morning after she brought Daniel to the Gallagher property, listing him as Daniel Croft, age eight.
    - By June 1989 Patricia received a letter from the boy in Renford saying he was fine and that he missed the cat; letters continued for years.
    - Daniel Croft was legally adopted in 1990 by the Alderman family, took the name Daniel Alderman, and by 2017 uploaded his DNA to a consumer genealogy database.

  • The Locket That Rewrote a Family: Secret Mother, Hidden Child

    The Locket That Rewrote a Family: Secret Mother, Hidden Child
    Oct 11 2026
    The Locket That Rewrote a Family: Secret Mother, Hidden Child

    A worn sterling silver locket bought at a pawnshop in Dellard unlocked a sixty-three-year secret: inside, a photograph of Norma Holmes holding an infant and an inscription reading "For Lily. So she remembers." Who wrote that note, and why was Norma's image tucked into a shoebox that belonged to a man who never remarried?

    In this episode, we follow the chain of people and objects that connect a pawnshop, a storage unit and a three-page letter found in a box - tracing how a single call to a niece set off DNA tests, family searches and the discovery of a buried story. How did a locket, a shoebox and an 81-year-old trucker’s files become the threads that pull two families together?

    Person: Glenn Holmes
    Person: Gina Perry
    Person: Bev Ostrander
    Person: Pete Ostrander
    Date: February 2019

    - The locket was placed on the pawnshop counter by Bev Ostrander on a Tuesday in February 2019.
    - Glenn Holmes was 53 years old and had run the pawnshop for 11 years when he found the locket.
    - Bev Ostrander was 58 and had brought the locket from her late father Pete Ostrander’s belongings.
    - Within six weeks of the locket arriving, a consumer DNA test showed Bev and Glenn shared 23% of their genetic material.
    - The shoebox that held the locket also contained a three-page handwritten letter found eight weeks after the locket surfaced.
