Bonus - The Mystery of the Calgary Mummy

April 1, 2024·22 min

Hosts Kenton and Dylan discuss the mysterious case of Thomas Hall, a Canadian businessman who disappeared in 1929 and was found mummified under his Calgary home's floorboards in 1948. The hosts detail the contradictions (fake newspaper death reports, family confusion about whether he was dead), the discovery by the Pierce family, forensic contradictions in the evidence, and the failed police investigation. They debate theories about whether it was murder for robbery, a family member, or the card-playing friend living in Vancouver who was never charged.
