Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com
The love between a mother and daughter should be sacred shelter; an untouchable sanctuary that no evil can penetrate. In March 2004, that safe haven would be forever shattered for Jennifer Wix and her daughter, Adrianna. The two have been missing since March 25, 2004. The mystery of the missing Wix girls not only exemplifies the boundless love shared between of mothers and daughters, but also depicts a family scarred by untold grief and lingering, unanswered questions.

Friday the 13th Murders ////// 912
Part 1 of 1
On Friday, July 13th, the quiet town of Panhandle, Texas, where life moved at a gentle pace, was about to be shattered by an event so violent it would be seared into the town's memory forever. This Friday the 13th, was a night that defied the very nature of this peaceful community. Evil didn?t come to the town of Panhandle, it was born there and on this Friday the 13th that evil was on a seek and destroy mission. The chaos began in the dead of night. It was a night filled with murder, mayhem, confusion, and chaos. A night that will forever live in infamy as the night that the curse and the evil of lore became real.

Brandon Swanson /// Missing /// Part 3
Part 3 of 3
Original Release: 9-2-2019
In May 2008, 19-year-old college student Brandon Swanson vanished without a trace after a late-night drive through rural Minnesota. In True Crime Garage Episode 332, Nic and the Captain dive deep into one of the most haunting and perplexing missing person cases in modern true crime history.
After attending a small gathering with friends, Brandon called his parents in the early morning hours to report that he had accidentally driven his car into a ditch. Believing he was near the town of Lynd, Minnesota, Brandon stayed on the phone with his father while attempting to walk toward distant town lights for help. What followed was a chilling and unforgettable moment. During the call, Brandon suddenly exclaimed, ?Oh, shit!? before the line abruptly went silent. He was never heard from again.
In this episode, True Crime Garage carefully examines the timeline of Brandon Swanson?s final movements, the extensive search efforts across treacherous farmland and waterways, and the investigative challenges that have left this case unsolved for nearly two decades. Nic and the Captain also discuss the lasting impact Brandon?s disappearance has had on his family and how the case led to the creation of Brandon?s Law, which changed missing persons reporting procedures in Minnesota.

Missing Sodder Children /// Part 2 /// 893
Missing Sodder Children /// Part 2 /// 893
Part 2 of 2
In Fayetteville, West Virginia there once stood two billboards. Billboards announcing a mystery and asking for help. These billboards were up for decades, seeking answers. Passing motorists could easily see either as they wizzed by in their automobiles. This is the information from one of them. At the top was a simple announcement - ?After thirty years it is not too late to investigate? Below this text, the billboard featured pictures of each of the five missing Sodder children - Maurice, Martha, Louis, Jennie, and Betty.
The text below the pictures read?
On Christmas Eve 1945 our home was set afire and five of our children ages 5 through 14 kidnapped. The officials blamed defective wiring although lights were still burning after the fire started. The official report stated that the children died in the fire. However no bones were found in the residue and there was no smell of burning flesh during or after the fire. What was the motive of the law officers involved? What did they have to gain by making us suffer all of these years of injustice? Why did they force us to accept those lies?

Alison Davis called 911, her voice frantic as she reported her husband had fallen down the stairs. Police and EMTs rushed to the New Haven, Indiana home, prepared to save a life. Inside, they found Kevin Davis at the bottom of the stairwell. His injuries were far worse than expected - he was barely clinging to life. Just hours earlier, the couple had returned home from a night out with friends. By morning, tragedy struck: one person was dead, and the other faced difficult questions.
