Echoes of the Past

When truth sleeps for forty years, waking it up can be deadly.

True-crime podcaster Mara Jennings built her career on forgotten stories — but her latest case is different. It began with a box of letters hidden in her mother’s attic and led to the unsolved disappearance of college student Lena Hale in 1982. What seemed like a local tragedy soon unravels into something much darker — a decades-old cover-up buried within the walls of a prestigious university.

Armed with her microphone and her instincts, Mara hunts down long-buried clues, interviewing those who remember too much and those who wish they’d forgotten. As her podcast episodes go viral, new witnesses come forward… and so do threats. Anonymous messages. Shadowed figures. A warning whispered through her own headphones: Stop digging into old ghosts.
