On November 8, 2019, 24-year-old Morgan Patten traveled 13 hours to Jacksonville, North Carolina, to visit her fiancé. She made it to Jacksonville, but never made it to see her fiancé. Instead, she ended up in a truck with two Marines she didn’t know…and within hours, she was dead on a dark and desolate road.  Officials called it a drunk-driving accident. Morgan’s parents say the evidence tells a different story. In this episode, Margot pieces together Morgan’s final hours. We explore security footage, bar receipts, and text messages exchanged between the two Marines, Hunter Wells and Charles Cornwall. We explore disturbing inconsistencies in the investigation, forensic red flags, unexplained DNA, and the question at the heart of this case: How did Morgan end up in that truck? For six years, Morgan’s parents have carried the burden of uncovering the truth. They have funded their own investigators, hired forensic experts, and fought to have evidence released for independent testing. Their search has uncovered shocking details that have never before been publicly unpacked in this way. If you know something about that night… it’s time to come forward. 👉 Morgan’s GoFundMe for independent DNA testing: https://gofund.me/55ec4c4f0 👉 More about Morgan’s Miles to Go Foundation: https://www.morgansmilestogo.com/ ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
