In July 1954, 12-year-old Danny Wood Jr. told his mom in Gray, Maine, that he was going fishing with a friend. Ten minutes later, he called her from a payphone three miles away, in town, telling her he was going to help a door-to-door salesman. She told him not to go with the guy, but Danny was never seen again. This is Part 1 of what’s often called “Maine’s coldest case.” Though it really isn’t. Rebecca presents.
Maureen gives the Hulu doc series “Hey Beautiful: Anatomy of a Romance Scam” the NNW review treatment.
We also update Episodes 77 and 95 (the Police War on Black Women and Johnetta Carr), Episode 144 (James Cameron the Worst Kind of Criminal), Episode 152 (Maine’s 2023 homicide list) and Episode 174 (Kathleen McLean murder).
