CONNECT with Jonathan Mark

This week’s episode was one of the most heartfelt conversations we’ve ever shared. I sat down with Melissa, who recently lost her husband, for a deeply emotional and powerful reading that touched on grief, healing, and the unbreakable bonds of love that continue beyond loss. It was raw, real, and truly unforgettable. 

While we’ll be returning to our unsolved cases next week, episodes like this are something we’ll be weaving in more often—moments where we slow down, connect, and explore the human side of the stories we tell.

This week’s episode features yet another intense and emotional conversation. 

Marie joins to share the story of her mother, who died under circumstances that were ruled a suicide decades ago. During the reading, disturbing details emerge, including the use of a trash bag, a significant gap in time before she was found, and serious questions surrounding how the case was handled. Marie reveals that her mother was only 22 years old, and that key information from the autopsy report was never clearly shared with the family. 

The conversation raises concerns about potential mishandling of evidence, overlooked suspects, and a violent relationship dynamic that may have led up to her death. What was ruled self-inflicted harm may not align with the physical evidence described. 

This episode includes discussion of homicide, investigative mismanagement, and traumatic childhood memory. Listener discretion is advised. 

Jonathan commits to working alongside the family to push for renewed attention on the case.

In this episode, Jonathan is joined again by Amelia for a sensitive and highly anticipated update in the case of Vickie Stout and Carla Atkins. Listeners have been asking for answers following last week’s discussion, especially around DNA evidence, witness statements, and why certain details have remained under wraps. 

Amelia shares what’s been coming through to her since the last update, including insights around evidence handling, the blue truck eyewitness accounts, and why the integrity of the case continues to limit what can be publicly disclosed. The conversation explores familiar faces, potential mishandling of evidence, and why this case remains active despite being labeled cold. 

This episode includes intuitive readings and discussion of an unsolved case involving real people and real lives. Listener discretion is advised due to the sensitive nature of the material. 

If you have any information on the murders of Carla Atkins and Vickie Stout, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's (TBI) at 1-800-TBI-FIND. You can hear more from Amelia by following her podcast, Murder At Land Between the Lakes.

This episode shares a meaningful update in the case involving Carla Atkins and Vickie Stout, two half-sisters who disappeared in Tennessee in 1980 and were later found murdered near Land Between the Lakes. 

Since the original episode aired, new information has come to light through follow up research and conversations that helped validate key details previously discussed. That validation reached investigators, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, marking an important shift in how the case is being viewed. 

In this update, the focus is not on speculation, but on what has been confirmed, what aligns with existing timelines, and why this moment feels different from past developments that ultimately led nowhere. The episode revisits critical elements of the case, including the disappearance, witness reports, and lingering questions that have remained unanswered for more than forty years. 

There is also reflection on the responsibility of revisiting active cases, the importance of protecting families, and why certain details remain intentionally undisclosed while the investigation continues. While no conclusions are drawn, the episode carries a cautious sense of momentum and the possibility that long overdue answers may finally be within reach. 

This update is for listeners who have followed the case closely and for anyone interested in how cold cases can slowly move forward when persistence, validation, and the right attention converge. 

If you have any information on the murders of Carla Atkins and Vickie Stout, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's (TBI) at 1-800-TBI-FIND. You can hear more from Amelia by following her podcast, Murder At Land Between the Lakes.

This episode pulls back the curtain on what actually happens behind the scenes when a case comes in. 

Rather than focusing on a single investigation, this conversation walks through the full process of how cases are handled, from the first call to the follow up work that happens long after a reading ends. It explains the critical differences between working with law enforcement versus working directly with families, and why those distinctions matter for safety, accuracy, and integrity. 

You’ll hear how readings are conducted when police are involved, why details are intentionally withheld, how information is recorded and validated, and why cases are rarely one and done. The episode also addresses the emotional reality families face, the risks when people act on raw information without proper oversight, and why strict checks and balances are now required before any case is taken on. 

There are real world examples shared, including work with sheriff’s departments, international law enforcement, and cases where boundaries were not yet in place and lessons were learned the hard way. Throughout the episode, the focus remains on responsibility, protecting everyone involved, and doing the work the right way even when emotions are high and answers are desperately wanted. 

This is an honest look at the systems, limits, and accountability behind the cases, and why slowing the process down is sometimes the most important part of helping move it forward.
