In Episode Five of The Grimes Files, host Joey Grimes corrects the record surrounding the disappearance of eighteen-year-old Patricia “Patty” Vaughan, who vanished from Mathias, West Virginia in 1982. As rumors spread through Hardy County following the discovery of bones and surgical hardware along Route 259, this episode separates fact from speculation, addresses earlier reporting errors, and lays out what is currently confirmed by law enforcement and forensic experts. The episode also introduces one of the earliest known survivor accounts connected to Galen Douglas Sager, predating Patty’s disappearance and revealing a pattern of coercion, isolation, and silence that extended for decades. Through firsthand testimony, community memory, and on-the-ground reporting, Episode Five explores how fear and erasure allowed a young woman to vanish without a town noticing — and why that silence is finally breaking.
