Jamey Walker was a member of one of the most beloved and consequential families ever to have lived on Las Vegas’s Historic West Side. Her mother, her father, and her grandmother were all well-known and highly regarded, going back to the 1960s and earlier. On Mother's Day 1981, a day when Jamey planned to spend time with her mom and grandmother, the unthinkable happened. She disappeared without a trace. Kidnapped. Gone.  Her panicked family did what they were told, but they couldn't prevent the unimaginable from happening to her. https://sinspod.co/88 https://sinspod.co/88blog https://sinspod.co/88sources https://sinspod.co/88sub (Substack Article) Domestic Violence Resources http://sinspod.co/resources Click here to become a member of our Patreon! https://sinspod.co/patreon Visit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

When people think about Lake Mead, they picture sunshine, water, and long weekends. But the stories we’re telling in this episode don’t end up in a photo album. They end in silence, suspicion, and grief. A missing mother. A woman whose name no one knew. A Marine who never made it home. A child left to drown. And a young immigrant weighed down in the water. These are stories the lake didn’t hide. They're stories we’ve chosen not to see. https://sinspod.co/86 https://sinspod.co/86blog https://s...
