Episode 75: At The Fair

In the Pacific Northwest, we have many mysterious disappearances, in particular, missing children. Two notorious missing children have eerie similarities between their cases, though they are completely unrelated. Both kids were 14 year old, both spoke to their mother on the phone right before going missing, and both disappeared from their local fair. Today, I’d like to tell you about the disappearances of Jeremy Bright who went missing in 1986 and Misty Copsey who went missing in 1992.
