Official Announcement: Up and Vanished Weekly
02:31 Share

Hey guys, it's Payne Lindsey. For almost eight years, I've been making true crime podcasts, investigating cold cases, unsolved disappearances, murders, wrongful convictions. I've sat face to face with serial killers, stared evil in the eye, and I've met countless families whose lives have been shattered by unimaginable loss. These experiences have shaped who I am today, and they've lit a fire in me to keep fighting for justice, for truth, and for those whose stories have been ignored for far too long.

Since the first season of Up and Vanished in 2016, where we uncovered the truth about Tara Grinstead's disappearance and helped bring her killers to justice, I've spent years investigating and telling stories just like hers. Along the way, thousands of tips, stories, and cases have poured in, each one carrying the weight of unanswered questions and unimaginable heartbreak. I've decided these stories can no longer just sit in the shadows. They need to be told, and we need to bring them into the spotlight.

That's why we created Up and Vanish weekly. Each week, we're going to explore a new unsolved case, missing persons, murders, and even wrongful convictions. This show is about shedding light on these stories, giving a voice to those who need it most, and most of all, trying to find answers.

Every week, I'll be here to guide you through these stories, taking you through all the twists and turns of an unsolved case. But this is far from a one-person operation. This is a team. And I've brought in my good friend, journalist, activist, and overall badass, Maggie Freeling, to take the helm.

Each week, Maggie will lead thoughtful and candid discussions examining these cases, sitting down with victims' families, talking to expert guests, and members of our own Up and Vantage team, breaking down the details that matter most, and enlisting your help to try and solve them. This show is about awareness, action, and the overall pursuit of the truth. I'm beyond grateful to have you on this journey with us, and I want to personally thank you for your support as a listener. I'm proud to present to you

Up and Vanished Weekly. Up and Vanished Weekly with Payne Lindsay and Maggie Freeling premieres January 29th. To follow the show, search Up and Vanished Weekly in your podcast app.
