A Hoosier Mystery: The Disappearance of Lauren Spierer - Missing a Decade This Year

This week, Yergy and Drewby discuss the case of Shane Cheetham, who grew up across the street from Yergy. In 2018, at the age of 43, Shane committed suicide at the home he shared with his estranged wife, Heather - or did he? Shoddy police work, as well as discrepancies between the police and medical examiners reports gave Shane's family pause, and for the last three years, they have been looking for answers.
