Episode five, "All the Facts," is out. We sit down with Iris Wallace, the last member of the club still working the case, who has been obsessed with it since 2020. She points us toward Sherice Smith, a high school football game, and a photograph she says is the key.

The second case file is open
Episode two, "The Walk," is out. We retrace the route Jeremy would have taken on foot to the morning hike, alone, through terrain where a person could disappear without a witness. Then his girlfriend, Sophie Reeves, reaches out with something to say about Marcus Chen, and leaves us a name.

The first case file is open
Episode one is out. We go through the police file on Jeremy's disappearance (the sixteen-day search that turned up no body, no scene, and no evidence of a crime) and sit down with Marcus Chen, a friend from Jeremy's true-crime club who doesn't think the police looked hard enough.

What happened to Jeremy Walden?
On the morning of Thursday, October 15, 2020, four friends waited for Jeremy Walden at a trailhead south of Bellingham. One had declined to come; Jeremy never showed, and no one has heard from him since. His car sat outside his apartment, his phone was later found broken, and the people closest to him were investigated, but nothing amounted to a credible motive. The case went cold. In June 2026, an anonymous message asked us to look again. On July 1, we reopened it.
