  New Podcast: Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River 26.03.2026

  Secrets Beyond the Sacramento RiverThe first episode drops March 30th! Each new episode will drop the following Monday. We're seeking the answer to the question, "What happened to Jeff Anderson?"Jeff Anderson was just 40 years old when his car rolled into the Sacramento River the evening of September 9th, 2023. Despite 911 calls from eye witnesses confirming the entry point of Jeff's car into the river, rescue attempts were not conducted until September 13th- 4 days later. Upon retrieval, law enforcement removed Jeff's car key from his front pocket of his pants. His car transmission was in "park." Inconsistencies in stories about Jeff's last hours have raised more questions than answers:Was Jeff assaulted?Was Jeff helped to his car from a bar and taken water? Was Jeff roofied?Was Jeff in emotional distress?We have witness statements submitted to law enforcement saying they were told by eye witnesses that there were two cars that evening, not one. When the car eye witnesses were  followed up by law enforcement, this claim was denied ever being said. Why?We'll share dispatch calls. We'll share incident reports. We'll share toxicology reports. Was this a horrific accident, or was this case closed without a proper investigation? Why did the PI hired by the family take years to get the report back to family?Why was Jeff's car parked only to allegedly roll from a stop across a flat grade road, make a 90 degree turn, and then go into the water? Why has Jeff's phone had multiple hacking attempts?Why wasn't Jeff's case looking into as a suspected homicide? The stories the family were told by law enforcement alone will outrage you. We'll be covering the witness reports, police reports, autopsy report, interviews, written statements, and our documented attempts to communicate with Sheriff Cooper and the District Attorney. March 30th-Time to ask seek the answers to questions law enforcement should have asked before closing Jeff's case. Podcast Hosts Jules Thorp and Jen RiveraA Fire Eyes Media Network podcast Podcast script written by Jules Thorp Podcast audio engineering and editing by Jen Rivera Producers Jules Thorp and Jen RiveraWhat Happened To Jeff Anderson?Subscribe now by simply searching for Secret Beyond the Sacramento River Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-in-hush-town--6404892/support.

  Chapter 5: Arkansas 07.01.2026 44min

  Chapter 5: Arkansas "Jenny was told by Larry about the plans for that weekend: They would all sleep at Larry’s home in Gleason on Thursday night, then on Friday- they’d go to Nashville and look at apartments. Jenny still had a strained relationship with her father, but he told her that since he’s driving trucks again, he’d only be there on the weekends and the apartment would essentially be Jenny and her boyfriend’s all week. To Jenny- a young adult who spent her life in small rural towns in Tennessee, moving to Nashville with her boyfriend in an apartment sounded like a great idea- and she would get to be near her little sister- so she was sold. But when they woke up on Friday morning, ready to go grab breakfast and then spend the day apartment shopping in Nashville before it was time to all pick Bethany up for the weekend visit, Jenny shares with us how plans drastically were changed."Learn More:Visit BethanyMarkowski.com to learn more about Bethany’s caseExplore episode notes, photos, and related case information at MissingInHushTown.com.Missing in Hush Town Season 2 is executive produced in partnership by Fire Eyes Media LLC’s Jules Thorp and Jen Rivera and MomCast Productions’ Rachel Holloway and Heather Northcraft.  The script is written by Jules Thorp and edited by Heather Northcraft, project lead is Rachel Holloway, and master editing and audio production is done by Jen Rivera.

  Chapter 4 part 2: The Abduction Attempt"Jonnie knew she needed to enroll Bethany back into school- and that legally she’d only have 5 days to re enroll her. Since Larry could easily find Aunt Lori, it was decided that Jonnie and Bethany were to stay with Aunt Lori’s best friend, Dianne. Once Bethany was enrolled in Du Pont Tyler Elementary, unbeknownst to them, Larry was already working doggedly behind the scenes to track Bethany- he was listing every school from Illinois to southern Tennessee and calling them one by one. And it would be on January 31st, 2001, that he would find Bethany– which is one day before her 11th birthday."Learn More:Visit BethanyMarkowski.com to learn more about Bethany’s caseExplore episode notes, photos, and related case information at MissingInHushTown.com.Missing in Hush Town Season 2 is executive produced in partnership by Fire Eyes Media LLC’s Jules Thorp and Jen Rivera and MomCast Productions’ Rachel Holloway and Heather Northcraft.  The script is written by Jules Thorp and edited by Heather Northcraft, project lead is Rachel Holloway, and master editing and audio production is done by Jen Rivera.
