9: The Mystery at Airtight Bridge
Jinkies! Hey Gang, join Shane and Josh as they embark on a chilling adventure in Charleston, Illinois, driving their Mystery Machine Tesla to the picturesque Airtight Bridge. Although the bridge appears serene, nestled over the gentle waters of the Embarras River and listed on the National Register of Historical Places, it hides a sinister past. The Airtight Bridge, so named for the "unnatural stillness" that envelops it, was once a popular spot for local teens to hang out and drink. But on October 19, 1980, the bridge became the site of a gruesome discovery: a mutilated woman's body, missing her head, hands, and feet, was found floating nearby. Scuba divers searched for clues and missing body parts, but little was found, and the woman's identity remained a mystery. Laid to rest in Charleston Mound Cemetery under the name "Jane Doe," the grave became a site of pilgrimage for those touched by the case. Visitors would leave flowers and tokens of sympathy, remembering the unknown woman and her tragic fate. In 1992, a breakthrough finally came. DNA analysis identified the victim as Diana Marie Riordan-Small, who had vanished from her Illinois home over 100 miles away. With her identity restored, Jane Doe's headstone was replaced to honor her memory. In this riveting episode, Shane and Josh unravel the haunting tale of the Airtight Bridge and the tragic story of Diana Marie Riordan-Small. Tune in and immerse yourself in this true crime mystery that's sure to captivate your imagination.

6: UFOs, Giants, and Mystery Updates
Ruh-roh! True crime and mystery fans, the Waters brothers are back with another suspenseful episode of Mystery Inc, and this time, they're bringing updates on previously discussed enigmas! Do you recall the puzzling case of Church of Scientology Leader David Miscavige's missing wife, Shelly Miscavige, from Episode 2? Well, buckle up, because David has just been served 27 times for a federal lawsuit accusing him of human trafficking! He's been in hiding and actively concealing his whereabouts for the last 10 months. In Episode 3, we tackled the topic of weather balloons during our deep dive into the Battle of Los Angeles. As we jested about blaming everything on weather balloons, Chinese spy balloons masquerading as weather balloons began making headlines, causing actual weather balloons to be mistaken for "Unidentified Flying Objects" or additional spy balloons. For this episode, Shane investigates the Phoenix Lights, a remarkable UFO sighting that transpired on March 13, 1997. Thousands of witnesses in Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico reported observing a colossal V-shaped object in the sky. This event remains one of the most renowned and meticulously documented UFO encounters in American history. Josh then shifts the spotlight to the Nephilim, enigmatic beings or people referenced in the Hebrew Bible, often depicted as a race of giants. Some theorize they are the hybrid progeny of fallen angels, with Goliath from the story of David and Goliath suspected to be a Nephilim. Join the Waters brothers on this thrilling adventure through the realms of UFOs and ancient giants as they continue unraveling the mysteries that keep us all hooked and entertained!
