Mysterious Doe Cases | The Somerton Man, Opelika Jane Doe & Artesia Jane Doe

Mysterious Doe Cases | The Somerton Man, Opelika Jane Doe & Artesia Jane Doe

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss three fascinating Doe cases.
In October 2020, a quail hunter stumbled across human remains in a cattle float box in Artesia, AZ. He assumed the remains belonged to a child as they were surrounded by toys. When police investigated, further, they discovered the remains belonged to a female, likely aged between 13-22. This Jane Doe was wearing what appeared to be a ‘witches robe’, as well as a jacket covered with skull print.
The remains of a young girl were found in Opelika, Alabama in January 2012. She remains unidentified to this day. In a twist to this case, police have photographs of the girl they believe to be Opelika Jane Doe, when she was alive. Authorities believe she attended a bible school in the area. No records of attendees at the school were kept, and none of the teachers recall her name. This tiny girl had been so badly abused before her death, that police believe she had a very noticeable injury to her eye. This injury can be seen in the photos they have.
The mystery of the Somerton Man is one that has captured the public’s attention for decades. In 1948, a man was found deceased on Somerton Beach in South Australia. All labels had been removed from his clothing and many medical experts believe that he died from poisoning. Over the years, many theories about this man were discussed – was he a spy who had been murdered? Or a ballet dancer – he had pointed toes and high calf muscles, similar to those displayed by dancers? In July 2022, following extensive DNA testing, researchers announced that they had likely identified the Somerton Man. (Right before we aired this episode, as usual!)

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

15-month-old Evelyn Boswell was reported missing on February 19th, 2020 by her grandfather, but she hadn't actually been seen since December 2019. I'm sure you're wondering - how does a missing baby go unreported for 2 months? Her mother, 18-year-old Megan Boswell, tried to explain during an interview, "Well, the reason I didn’t report it or anything was I knew the person who had her and I didn’t want them to run away with her. In a way, I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have." A month later, Evelyn's remains were found in a shed on a family member's property with her toys, clothes, and diapers. With a family full of felons pointing fingers at each other, investigators had a long road ahead of them - but ultimately they were able to make an arrest.

Michael Shaver - Buried in the Backyard

Michael Shaver - Buried in the Backyard

The last known sighting of Michael Shaver was in November 2015. It took over two years for friends and family to realize he was missing because someone was responding to his messages and updating his social media pretending to be him. He didn't seem like himself and in February 2018 a friend called for a wellness check on him. Police went to his home and found his wife, Laurie Shaver, who told police she hadn't seen him for years. Well, a few months later police found Michael Shaver's body buried under a cement fire pit in the backyard of the home he once shared with Laurie. As cut & dry as this case seems, it still remains unsolved. Story Begins: 18:52 Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Unidentified and Mostly Harmless

Unidentified and Mostly Harmless

While hiking in Big Cypress National Preserve, two friends stumbled upon an emaciated man's remains in a tent along the trail. The man had no identification, no cell phone, no bank cards and didn't come up in any of the police's databases. After releasing a composite sketch of the man, a handful of fellow hikers, hostel proprietors and trail angels came forward saying they met this man along his journey from NY to FL. They knew stories about him and even had photos of him, but they only knew him as "Denim" or "Mostly Harmless" - his trail names. It seemed like no one knew his true identity and that was they way he wanted it. It's been 2 years since Mostly Harmless's remains were found in July 2017 and he has yet to be identified. The Collier County Sheriff's Office hasn't given up and is pursuing genealogy testing in hopes to locate a relative. But, if Mostly Harmless went to such great lengths to conceal his identity, do we have the right to identify him?

The Todt Family Murders

The Todt Family Murders

To anyone looking in, the Todts seemed like the perfect family. Megan and Tony Todt, both successful physical therapists, lived in Celebration, Florida - a picturesque community created by the Walt Disney Company, with their three children. While the family could be seen smiling in matching Christmas pajamas on social media - a dark secret loomed over them. Unbeknownst to Megan, Tony was being federally investigated for committing health insurance fraud to cover their astronomical debt. In December 2019, Tony (*allegedly*) snapped and murdered Megan, their children and even their family dog. He then remained inside their home with the bodies for days creating a web of lies to cover his tracks. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

The Murder of Holly Bobo | Part 2

The Murder of Holly Bobo | Part 2

On April 13th, 2011, 20-year-old Holly Bobo spent her morning studying for an exam she'd never take. She'd pack her things, grab her lunch and walk out the door - only to cross paths with a strange man dressed in camouflage.  Holly was last seen by her brother, who caught a glimpse of her through the window, walking into the woods with who he thought was her boyfriend.  From there, what happened to Holly would remain a mystery for nearly 6 years. A handful of men were arrested for Holly's abduction, rape and murder, but not everyone believes the right men are behind bars. In this episode, we go over what happened at Zach Adams' murder trial and discuss other theories as to what may have happened to Holly.
