Christina "Licorice" McKechnie was once at the heart of the 1960s counterculture - singing with the Incredible String Band, recording on celebrated albums, and performing on the stage at Woodstock. But after the mid-1970s, her story begins to blur. By the mid-1980s, she had seemingly vanished.
There are no police records, no clear timeline, and no obituary. Just scattered whispers, half-remembered sightings, and decades of unanswered questions. Did Licorice step away from the world on her own terms, or did something far more unsettling happen?
Listen as we dive into the Woodstock Festival, the case of Christina "Licorice" McKechnie, and how to stay alive on vacation.
