Simply Vanished is a serial investigative podcast about missing persons. Each season is dedicated to a single case. The show digs deep to tell the stories of people who vanished. Who were they? What may have happened to them? Why hasn't their case been solved? Join host Josh Newville in the search for answers. Newville is a civil rights lawyer who has long been fascinated by unexplained disappearances. Drawing inspiration from other serial investigative podcasts, Newville founded Trembling Leaf Media and launched Simply Vanished in 2022.
