This episode came together faster than you can say “divine timing.” After hearing Jonathan Mark on Connect with Jonathan Mark alongside friend of the show, Kate Casey, exploring the haunting unsolved cases of Jodi Huisentruit and Amy Bradley, I reached out - and within hours, we were recording.

Jonathan is no ordinary medium. He doesn’t just connect with the other side - he uses his gift to help solve real-life crimes. He’s worked with law enforcement and families of the missing, offering insight, connection, and sometimes, the kind of closure that’s eluded them for years. From thedisappearance of Gabby Petito to the Long Island Serial Killer investigation, Jonathan has contributed to some of the biggest true crime cases of the last decade - often juggling hundreds of cases at once.

Jonathan shared the emotional and physical toll of this work, the responsibility he carries, and how he manages being flooded with energy and messages. We explored what it’s like to live with this gift, and the very human drive behind why he continues to do it.

We also took a deep dive into the chilling disappearance of Amy Bradley, who vanished from a cruise ship in 1998. It’s a case that has had so many of us gripped, especially following the success of Netflix doc Amy Bradley Is Missing. Jonathan shared his insights into what might have happened to her, and you’ll be hanging on every word.
