Two young women. Two towns. Four days apart.
When 22-year-old graduate student Eliotte Heinz vanishes after a night out in La Crosse, her family launches a desperate search. But before the community can catch its breath, another disappearance rocks Wisconsin: Emma Jacob, 22, disappears in Platteville—only hours before she’s found dead near the Big M mound.
Are these tragedies connected? Or chilling coincidences echoing Wisconsin’s dark history of mysterious vanishings?
In this episode, we retrace the women’s last known steps, dive into haunting past cases, and reveal the online sleuth theories lighting up Reddit and Twitter. From eerie riverside disappearances to whispers of a predator, join us as we explore one terrifying question: Who’s watching when the Driftless goes dark?
Stay tuned until the end for a chilling reflection that will leave you questioning the quiet roads you walk at night.
