In March 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Leanne Markowski vanished without a trace during a scheduled visit with her father. He claims she walked into the Jackson, Tennessee mall — and then she was simply gone. No witnesses. No confirmed sightings. No answers.

Now, more than two decades later, Missing In Hush Town returns for a powerful second season to re-examine Bethany’s case with fresh ears and renewed urgency. Working alongside Bethany’s family, retired and current law enforcement, journalists, and those who have never stopped searching, this season digs deep into the events leading up to her disappearance, the early investigative missteps, and the haunting question that still hangs over Hush Town:

Where is Bethany Markowski?

Join us as we trace Bethany’s story, amplify the voices of those who love and miss her, and uncover new perspectives that may help bring her home.

TW: sexual assault, murder, extreme violence

In September of 1978, 15 year old Mary Vincent was hitchhiking in California. She would accept a ride from a man in a blue van by the name of Lawrence Singleton. Little did Mary know, Singleton was a monster. Mary's life would be forever changed. This is an unbelievable and inspiring case of survival, but also of other lives that were senselessly lost due to insufficient California laws against sexual predators. This is the story of the survival of Mary Vincent and the murder of Roxanne Hayes.

In some versions of the story of the Garden of Eden, there is a third person: a mysterious vampiress. The story of this Dark Queen can be traced all the way back to 2700 BCE. There are endless myths and legends of her that connect to several religious texts. She is known to wear many faces and is too complex to put in a box. She’s also one of the oldest surviving mythological figures in all of Abrahamic mythology. This is the story of Lilith, AKA the first documented vampire.
