Episode Reviews

Such mixed emotions with this episode. Relief and renewed grief for the family, sadness for the choices of a broken man. Great reporting.

As I continue to listen to Up and Vanished past episodes, this episode came out of nowhere which is expected as it was recorded in 2017 when the podcast S1 was airing. It must have a bittersweet moment for Tara’s family and the Up and Vanished team. The generated buzz must have influenced /motivated the detectives to look further into Tara’s disappearance. I googled Ryan Duke ( as of 20th April 2021), and he is charged with Tara’s kidnapping. Thanks to Covid, there is a backlog of pending cases including Tara’s.
