True Crime

Justin Alexander was a survival expert, a full-time vagabond, and the kind of man who could disappear—if he wanted to. But in 2016, after venturing into India’s remote and unforgiving Parvati Valley, he didn’t come back. Led into the Himalayas by a holy man on a so-called spiritual quest, Justin left behind whispers, half-truths, and a cryptic, haunting message: "If I’m not back by mid-September, don’t look for me." Status: Untraced is a gripping journey into the unknown—a search through treacherous landscapes, whispered legends, and truths that refuse to sit still. Because out there in the wild, the line between lost and gone can be razor thin.

Introducing Lords of Death

11/25/2024
While digging through an old memory box, host Thrasher Banks discovers forgotten VHS tapes, police reports, and faded letters regarding a 1995 murder in Dayton, Ohio. Drawn to the connection between this murder and the other seemingly innocuous contents of the box, Thrasher begins an investigation. As he follows the threads, he finds that a participant in the 1995 murder may be connected to more than one brutal, unsolved case… Against the backdrop of Ohio in the 1980s and 90s, around the height of satanic panic, this true crime story explores memory, perception, and a personal quest for the truth. Join Thrasher as he unpacks this box and searches for answers about the “Lords of Death.” Listen now or subscribe to Tenderfoot+ to binge the show ad-free!
