Back to EpisodesKatie Beers - The Girl Who Became Invisible
Description
Nine-year-old Katie Beers should've been worried about homework, cartoons, and whether her Tamagotchi was still alive, not surviving one of the most horrifying kidnappings in modern history.
When Katie vanished on New Year's Day in 1992, the entire country was glued to the search. Seventeen days later, the truth came crawling out of the ground... literally.
This week, we're talking about the hidden underground bunker where Katie was held captive, the predator who thought he was smarter than everyone else, and the long list of adults who failed this little girl long before she ever disappeared. Spoiler alert: I have some opinions. And by "some," I mean enough side quests and unhinged commentary to make you yell at your speakers right along with me.
So grab your emotional support snack, spark up if you're part of the 420 crew, and settle in, accomplices. Because this case is equal parts unbelievable, infuriating, and proof that sometimes the real monsters aren't hiding in the dark—they're sitting right at the family barbecue.
