Five people disappeared under very different circumstances. An Australian prime minister vanished while swimming off a familiar beach. Five children were never found after a devastating house fire in West Virginia. A pioneer of moving pictures boarded a train in France and disappeared somewhere along the journey. A young married couple vanished while navigating the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. And an American businessman walked away from a bungalow in the Malaysian highlands and was never seen again.

In this episode of The Sleepy Investigator, we explore the unresolved disappearances of Harold Holt, the Sodder children, Louis Le Prince, Glen and Bessie Hyde, and Jim Thompson.

From a rugged Australian coastline and the ruins of a family home to a nineteenth-century railway journey, a remote canyon river and a quiet road into the tropical highlands, each case leaves behind unanswered questions — and no definitive explanation.

Settle in, turn down the lights, and join me as we look at five disturbing disappearances that remain unsolved.

Cases covered:

• Harold Holt — Australia, 1967

• The Sodder children — West Virginia, USA, 1945

• Louis Le Prince — France, 1890

• Glen and Bessie Hyde — Grand Canyon, USA, 1928

• Jim Thompson — Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, 1967

The Sleepy Investigator explores real unsolved mysteries in a calm, documentary-style format designed to be listened to slowly and thoughtfully.
