In this episode, we step deeper into the growing confusion surrounding Joseph’s disappearance, the conflicting stories, the strange notes, and the data that didn’t add up.

Detectives traced Joseph’s last cell-phone pings to two vastly different locations: one in the center of Bloomington’s busy nightlife district at 7th and Walnut, and another miles away on Old State Road 37, near the woods surrounding Griffy Lake. The distance between them was too far to walk in the time frame the phone suggested, leaving Vivianne convinced that her brother wasn’t alone that night.

As rumors spread through campus, new details emerged, including mentions of a cryptic note found weeks before Joseph disappeared and another discovered in place of a bottle of scotch he’d been saving for his wedding. Meanwhile, messages uncovered from Joseph’s Sigma Pi fraternity group chat hinted at a scramble to control the narrative, rather than to find him.

This episode traces Vivianne’s search for clarity through the haze of half-truths, unanswered texts, and institutional indifference. As she pieces together what little evidence she has, the story takes a darker turn, one that will lead her to the woods outside Bloomington and a discovery that changes everything.
