Unfound has now covered 356 disappearances over the course of almost 500 episodes. It has an interview-based format and concentrates on the facts, not the theories. Today, and for the 19th time, I will take you back to the beginning, then right up to the present, as I cover news over the past 4 months pertaining to many of Unfound's cases.

There are so many great people who I've met since starting Unfound in 2016. But there are very few who I can say have become a fantastic friend and a respected mentor. Well, today you get to hear for the second time from ex-NYPD Lieutenant and Nova Southeastern University criminology professor, Dr. Grace Telesco.

As Unfound goes into its hiatus, I thought this was a good time for all of you to get to know me all over again. So, I dug up the first Q and A episode I ever did back in 2019. It helps that I still get a lot of these questions to this very day.

Ed updates everyone on his health status and the break he will be taking going into 2025.
