Our take on The Unidentifieds podcast

The Unidentifieds explores Oregon's haunting world of unidentified human remains. Hosts Regan Mertz and Dave Killen have done an outstanding job, providing a compassionate and thorough investigation into four long-forgotten cold cases in Oregon. Episode one takes us on a chilling journey along southern Oregon's Redwood Highway, where a 47-year-old mystery slowly unravels with the help of genetic genealogy. The storytelling is immersive and touching, and the interviews with experts and family members add depth to the narrative. The Unidentifieds shines a light on the silent mass disaster of unidentified remains and gives hope for closure and justice for the families involved. The Unidentifieds is a news podcast by The Oregonian/OregonLive.com.
