Ep. 26 – The Girl Who Fell From the Sky

In survival stories, we often play the “what if” game, and wonder what we would do differently under the same circumstances. Here are two true stories of people lost in the jungle, including the remarkable tale of a teenage girl who fell 10,000 feet out of an airplane that crashed into the Peruvian rainforest.

Ep. 25 – The Burning

On Christmas Eve, 1945, the home of George and Jennie Sodder was destroyed by fire. George, Jennie and four of their ten children managed to escape unharmed. But five more of the Sodder children mysteriously vanished without a trace. Did they die in the fire? Or did something even more sinister happen to them?

Ep. 23 – The Secret Agent

Long before the Zodiac Killer terrorized southern California, there was another similar string of murders in which a bizarre killer stalked and murdered people at local lover’s lanes then sent taunting, coded messages to the police and newspapers. Although the 3X killer is almost forgotten today, during the 1930s, the unknown man terrorized the entire city of New York, and launched one of the largest criminal manhunts in the city’s history.

Ep. 22 – The Unfriendly Skies

On April 7, 1994, FedEx Flight 705 took off on a routine flight from Memphis to San Jose. What happened next was anything but routine though. A rogue FedEx employee attempted to seize control of the aircraft, and this flight turned into one of the most harrowing and violent skyjackings in history. This is the amazing true story.
