I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past—stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of “the good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one. This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case—focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.

Mystery at the Lake Superior Shoreline: The Unsolved Murder of Dale Wheeler
Send us a textOn an unseasonably beautiful fall day in Duluth, Minnesota, a 33-year-old mother decides to take time for herself to bike the beautiful scenic Highway 61 along the shoreline of Lake Superior. After pulling off to take a breather and enjoy the sunshine along the shore, she is brutally attacked in broad daylight. Even though there were bicyclists, drivers, joggers, and boaters everywhere - nobody seemed to have witnessed the brazen murder. More than four decades have passed, but investigators taking a fresh look at the case are still holding out hope that someone knows something that can break the case wide open.
