One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds

In early 1993, 27-year-old Gary Sudbrink, who worked as a pharmacist for the Air Force, started to experience some very weird things. One by one, these somewhat minor yet odd encounters could be explained away, but when they started adding up, Gary felt uneasy. 

Then the phone calls came. 

In the latest episode of One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds, Elaine, Amber and I will discuss Gary Sudbrink's strange story. We'll play the actual audio from the phone calls Gary received (They are very bizarre), and we'll analyze them. 

Finally, we'll explore what on earth (or...

Three obscure cases. Three men. Three stories that deserve to be told. 

In episode 67 of One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds, we explore three lesser know disappearances that seem to have faded over time.

A geologist that received a suspicious phone call before he vanished. 

A creature of habit who for reasons unknown broke his routine.

A beloved teacher who disappeared on his way to school. 

Join me as I dive into these obscure cases in hopes their names become more widely known and that they one day receive justice.

On March 4, 2024, 21-year-old Texas A&M–Corpus Christi student Caleb Harris disappeared in the middle of the night.

Just hours earlier, Caleb was at his apartment, making plans for the next day and spending time with friends. By morning, his roommates found his wallet and keys inside, his truck still parked outside, and an untouched UberEats delivery at the door.

Caleb was nowhere to be found.

Months later, investigators would discover human remains in a wastewater collection well not far from his apartment. The remains were eventually identified as Caleb—but the circumstances surr...

Sheena Gibbs had endured a lot, but she was a survivor. A battle with cancer,  troubled relationships, and the stress of a sick family member were weighing on her mind in late 2021. But she remained grateful and dedicated to her family, and was living in Chicago, IL.

When she failed to make contact with her family, who lived in rural Iowa, her family wasn't immediately alarmed. It wasn't uncommon for Sheena to fall off the radar for a while only to resurface later to check in.

But then her birthday passed. Then Thanksgiving. It was t...

It was supposed to be a fun night of celebrating followed by a day of leisure when Tyler Davis and his wife, Brittany dropped their young son off at Tyler's parents and headed to nearby Columbus, Ohio to celebrate Brittany's birthday in February of 2019. After all, the pair worked hard and rarely had any time for fun. 

But what was supposed to be a relaxing time and a break from reality would turn to panic when Tyler failed to return back to the couple's hotel room after a long night out together. 

Tyler and Brittany tr...

In the early morning hours of November 24, 1997, four-month-old Sabrina Aisenberg vanished from her crib in Valrico, Florida. There were no signs of forced entry, no witnesses, and no clear explanation for how a baby could disappear from her own home overnight.

What followed was a massive investigation that would soon shift its focus inward. Sabrina’s parents were placed under intense suspicion, their home secretly wiretapped, and criminal charges eventually filed—only for the case against them to later collapse when a judge ruled that investigators had misrepresented key evidence.

More than two decades later, Sabr...

Everyone knows the cases of Maura Murray and Bryce Laspisa—two people who vanished under mysterious circumstances after crashing their cars in places that made no sense for them to be.

Those same eerie patterns appear in the disappearance of 34-year-old Haruchika Miyagi. Exactly ten years ago, for reasons still unknown, Haruchika drove nearly 500 miles from his home in Utah before crashing his car on a remote ranch in Arizona.

Why was Haruchika in an area where he had no known ties? Where was he going? And most importantly, what happened to him on that De...

Nelda Hardwick disappeared in 1993 after leaving her home in Lake Charles, Louisiana. What was supposed to be a quick trip to the store turned into devastating mystery for her family that is still on-going.

Nearly five years after Nelda left home, an unidentified woman was struck and killed along Interstate 10 in Hancock County, Mississippi. Many believe that Jane Doe was Nelda, and the similarities were striking—but when her body was exhumed years later, the truth revealed something no one expected.

Jesse Ross had so much going for him. A 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, he was headed to Chicago for the second time to take part in a model United Nations program. But when Jesse got up and walked out of the conference room at about 2:30 AM during a break for a mock emergency meeting, a real-life disaster was in the making.

A tragic suicide in a motel bathroom, a man on a beach in Ireland, and the victim of a violent crime in a dark alleyway in Chicago--what do they all share in common? The fact that the deceased in each case has sadly not been identified.

Two women named Mary Morris, both in the Houston, Texas area are murdered in a violent way--both of their bodies being found in their cars. They share similar physical features. And these events while separate, occur within four days of each other.

Mary Lou Henderson Morris left for work on the morning of October 12, 2000 as she typically did. For reasons unknown, she never showed up at work. It wasn't until her husband called her place of employment that he found out she had never arrived, and her body would later be found in her car in a...

It was September 11, 2001 in New York City. Americans everywhere woke up that Tuesday morning and went about their day. It was business as usual for the thousands of New Yorkers who made their way into lower Manattan to go to work at the World Trade Center. 

Then, as we all know, the world changed.

Between the purposeful attacks on the two towers, the Pentagon, and the downed flight in Pennsylvania, 2,977 lives were officially claimed that day to terrorism. 

But as the smoke continued to billow in lower Manhattan, that fateful day would see an...

This episode is a little different than most, and unlike most mysteries we cover. While much has been done to understand and trace the origin of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, there is still some uncertainty and misinformation about the once mysterious and (if untreated) deadly disease.

Many people likely know HIV/AIDS to have begun in the early 1980's in the United States among homosexual men in large cities, but data shows that the virus was already making its' way around the world in the 1950's and 1960's.

30-year old Ben McDaniel was an avid scuba diver and had enjoyed partaking in the underwater activity since he was a teenager, so when he disappeared 13 years ago today after going on an evening dive, most people assumed that he drowned.

Those familiar with the mysterious case of Ray Gricar will know how many strange and fascinating details surround his strange disappearance. Oftentimes in cases, one theory stands out as most probable. Sometimes a case is so baffling that no theory makes sense. In the case of Ray Gricar, t...

July 28, 2023. The true crime world is buzzing about Carlee Russell, an Alabama woman who disappeared after calling 911 to report a child on the side of the street on her way home from work. At a recent press conference, it was announced via her attorney, that Carlee had made the entire story up. Her motive for this, remains a mystery.

In episode 29, we touched upon the unsolved murder of 29-year old Elizabeth Barraza, who was shot to death in her own driveway while setting up for a garage sale in 2019.

Despite this mysterious person and their vehicle being captured on various surveillance videos, no one has been able to identify this person in the four years since Liz's murder. Perhaps more perplexing, no one h...

But looks can be deceiving. Because in the weeks leading up to her puzzling death, Ellen wasn't herself. She confided in her family that she was incredibly stressed out and attributed it to work. She had even gone to a psychiatrist who prescribed her a few different medications before finding one that worked well for her.  The s...

In fall of 2022, many were intrigued and creeped out by the Netflix series, "The Watcher," based on true events that occurred in Westfield, New Jersey.  It proved to be a good show that kept us on the edge of our seats, but for the family it actually happened to, it was not so entertaining.

At the time of this episode’s recording, whoever killed these people is walking around free, leaving the previously relaxed town of Moscow, Idaho on edge. Clas...

The man, a Thai citizen, told immigration officials that the young girl was his niece, and that she was a “Manger in the silk area of his business”. But authorities quickly realized the girl could not communicate in Thai.

MH370 is perhaps one of the world's most compelling mysteries. It is one that has boggled the minds of the public, garnered the opinions of experts and armchair detectives alike, and served as a catalyst for a number of wild conspiracy theories.

A common consensus amongst those mildly familiar with the case is that the disappearance of MH370 was the result of the actions of the captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah. After all, Occam's Razor tells us that the simplest explanation for something is oftentimes the truth.

But the mystery of MH370 is not a simple...
