Beyond the Pillars: The Murder of Laurel Jean Mitchell: Echoes

On August 6, 1975, 17-year-old Laurel Jean Mitchell vanished while walking in the Epworth Forest neighborhood of North Webster, Indiana. She had left her workplace at a lakeside hall and was on her way to meet friends at Adventureland, a local amusement park. Instead, she was abducted, taken to Noble County, and drowned. In 2023, Fred Bandy Jr. and John Wayne Lehman were arrested for the murder.

In this episode, we will talk to one of the friends Laurel was supposed to meet that night. This episode will delve into the generational trauma that can stem from a violent crime.
