Show Notes
What happens when someone decides, after years of silence, that it's finally time to tell their story?
In this special episode of Sleepers, investigative journalist Bryan Littlely takes listeners behind the scenes of the investigative process itself.
You'll hear how one witness's recollection of a hitchhiker seen shortly after Gus Lamont's disappearance led to an unexpected conversation about another missing person, and how that conversation opened the door to an entirely new lead.
The second half of this episode follows the real-time journey of information that recently found its way into the Sleepers' investigation. It's a rare opportunity to hear how new material is assessed, why not every lead becomes a case, and why careful listening remains one of the most important tools available to any investigator.

Together, the video and this episode explain not just what was discovered, but how information like this reaches Sleepers in the first place.
At its heart, this episode isn't about a single witness, a single video or a single cold case. It's about people. People who have carried memories for years. People looking for somewhere they'll be heard. And the belief that every genuine piece of information deserves careful consideration, because behind every unsolved case is a family still waiting for answers.
If you have information about any of the cases discussed in Sleepers, we'd genuinely like to hear from you.
