Buried History | Skeletons, Secrets & Scandal

This episode explores the unsettling reality that the past doesn’t always stay buried.

We begin with two shocking discoveries—children in France uncovering multiple ancient skeletons in eerie, upright positions, and a potential breakthrough in identifying the long-lost remains of the real-life d’Artagnan beneath a Dutch church. Both stories remind us that history has a way of resurfacing when we least expect it.

Then, we dive into the haunting Investigation Discovery documentary The Secrets We Bury, following the decades-long mystery of George Carroll’s disappearance. What begins as a missing persons case with no answers turns into a deeply personal and disturbing investigation led by his own family—one that uncovers buried truths, generational trauma, and a shocking discovery hidden beneath their home.

We close with a personal mom moment—reflecting on finding peace, letting go of what we can’t control, and cherishing the fleeting, beautiful chaos of motherhood.
