Susan Lund

Today, I’m joined by Laurah Norton to discuss the case of Susan Lund and the nearly 30-year journey to identify her. Laurah worked for years to help identify Susan with an incredible team of experts, but her case is still in need of justice.</p><br /></p>According to Paul Lund, On Christmas Eve, 1992, his 25-year-old wife, Susan Lund, went missing on a walk to the grocery store to buy ingredients for their family’s holiday dinner. He reported her missing not long after.</p><br /></p>About a month later, near the end of January 1993, Susan’s partial remains were found near Ina, Illinois, in Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park. Unfortunately, Susan remained unidentified for decades and was only known as Ina Jane Doe. In a strange twist of fate, not long after she went missing, Susan’s case was closed after a mysterious woman came forward and identified herself as Susan.</p><br /></p>Susan’s children spent decades believing she may have intentionally left them and never chose to reach out again.</p><br /></p>But in early 2021, Dr. Amy Michael, assistant professor of anthropology at The University of New Hampshire, along with writer, researcher, and host Laurah Norton, were approved by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office to reexamine the case.</p><br /></p>Through their journey, they worked with a variety of experts to correct misconceptions about Ina Jane Doe. When the genealogists at Redgrave Research joined the efforts, they finally identified her as Susan Lund in 2022.</p><br /></p>Laurah Norton recently chronicled this incredible journey along with the science behind it in her upcoming book, Lay Them to Rest. So, I invited her on the show to discuss her book, Susan’s case, the inner workings behind doing this type of work, and, of course, how you can help.</p><br /></p>If you have any information about Susan Lund, please call The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 618-242-TIPS.</p><br /></p>For a limited time, you can get 20% off Laurah's book, Lay Them to Rest, by using code LAYTHEMTOREST at checkout: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/</p><br /></p>Subscribe to Laurah's podcasts:</p>The Fall Line Podcast: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/</p>One Strange Thing Podcast: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/</p><br /></p>For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com</p>Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney</p>Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice </p>The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.

Cindy James

On May 25, 1989, 44-year-old Cindy James disappeared from Richmond, British Columbia, in Canada. Immediately, Cindy’s friends and family were worried for her safety because, for about seven years, she had suffered almost 100 incidents of harassment from a stalker. These incidents ranged from threatening phone calls and letters to physical attacks that almost killed Cindy.</p> </p>Searches for Cindy began immediately. Then, two weeks later, Cindy’s body was in the yard of an abandoned house around a mile from where she was last seen. She’d been drugged and strangled. </p> </p>After a month of investigating, police concluded that Cindy had completed suicide in an elaborate ruse staged to look like a murder. They further alleged that she’d faked all the incidents of harassment over the years. But Cindy’s family and many experts disagree. </p> </p>Anyone with information about Cindy James is urged to contact the RCMP tip line at 1800-222-8477.</p><br /></p>For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com</p>Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney</p>Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice </p>The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.

Listen Now - Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University

Dr. Robert Hadden was a trusted OB-GYN at Columbia University. Friendly, caring, unassuming… and behind the closed door of exam rooms, one of the most prolific sexual predators in New York City. During his 25-year career, he assaulted hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients, under the guise of medical exams. Those who tried to warn Columbia were ignored or not believed. When it appeared that no one — not Hadden, not Columbia — would be held to account, it was the survivors who undertook a decade-long fight for justice.</p><br /></p>From Wondery, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University is a story about power: who has it, who loses it, and what it takes to get it back.</p> </p>Follow Exposed on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

Mitrice Richardson Part 2

In the summer of 2009, 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson was living in Los Angeles, California.

They even discussed pulling their money together to help her. They were more concerned that she was obviously going through some type of crisis.

Aubrey Dameron

At around 3:30 am on March 9, 2019, 25-year-old Aubrey Dameron left her mother’s house near Grove, Oklahoma. She told her family that she was going to meet someone. Aubrey hasn’t been seen since.</p> </p>This is a case full of confusing leads. Allegations that Aubrey was kidnapped and being held for ransom, an alleged murder confession, and evidence that, in my opinion, needs another look.</p> </p>For years, Aubrey’s family has searched high and low, but no sign of her has been found. They are desperate for answers.</p> </p>If you listen to my other podcast, Disappearances, you know that I’ve discussed Aubrey’s case before. I did a joint episode discussing Aubrey and the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito with a heavy focus on the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous people. It is a very informative episode that is very close to my heart. So, if you’re looking for more information on this epidemic, I absolutely recommend listening to that.</p> </p>Now we worked on that episode back in 2021, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these cases, and since then, there have been some updates in Aubrey’s case. So, I thought I would try to bring Aubrey back into the spotlight and draw even more attention to her case with a full-length episode on just Aubrey.</p> </p>At the time of her disappearance, Aubrey, a 5 foot 9, 130-pound Cherokee woman with brown hair and eyes, was wearing a black leather jacket, black top, black skirt, black knitted hose, and black boots. She has a triquetra symbol tattoo on her back and another tattoo reading "Shorty" (her nickname) on her upper left arm.</p> </p>Anyone with information about Aubrey’s case is asked to call the FBI at (918) 664-3300 or the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service at (918) 207-3800.</p> </p>Follow the Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/MissingAubreyDameron</p><br /></p>Thank you to our sponsor June's Journey!</p>Download Junes Journey today on IOS or Android.</p><br /></p>For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com</p>Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney</p>Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice </p>The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.

They were going to visit Katie’s oldest son Alan and his partner, who were expecting a child in early January.</p> </p>But when the baby was born on January 9, Katie wasn’t there.

He told police he last saw her on December 29, when he dropped her off on a street in Atherton. He said she had plans to go to a pub and play pool, then go visit her friend in a nearby town.</p> </p>But when investigators began re-tracing Katie’s steps, they discovered that she never made it to her planned destination.</p> </p>At the time of her disappearance, Katie was described as standing 171cm (or five feet, seven inches) tall with a slim build. Katie has green eyes, long brown hair, and a tanned complexion. Katie was last seen wearing a short skirt with a button-up shirt and carrying a large red handbag with brown straps.</p> </p>Anyone with information is asked to call Australian Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000.</p> </p>Follow the Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/missingKatieoshea</p><br /></p>Thank you to our sponsors BetterHelp and June's Journey!</p>Visit BetterHelp.com/Justice to get 10% off your first month.</p>Download Junes Journey today on IOS or Android.</p><br /></p>For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com</p>Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney</p>Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice </p>The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.
