***LIVE***The Elan School -Horror in Maine

Author: Travis hartford January 22, 2024 Duration: 1:13:20
Joined by the president of the Elan School Survivors, Mark Babitz, we look into the dark history of a Maine reformatory school. The facility was closed down on April 1, 2011, due to reports of abuse, many from former students, dating back to its opening in 1970. Throughout its history, the school was faced with numerous allegations of student maltreatment. In 2001, Details magazine cited Élan as "among the most controversial of the nation's residential therapeutic communities." In 1975, Illinois state officials removed eleven children from the Élan program, alleging mistreatment. In the late-1970s, Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Max Ashburn visited the school after repeatedly hearing rumors of abuse, but the staff did not allow him entry into the school past the lobby. Following this, he began keeping a file in which he documented names and phone numbers related to Élan, as well as reported abuses. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/support

Travis Hartford hosts Locating the Lost, a journey into the shadows where facts fade and questions linger. Each episode is a deep, respectful exploration of cases that have slipped through the cracks-individuals who have vanished without a trace, cold cases that defy conventional explanation, and occasional brushes with the unexplained that surround such events. The focus here is on the human stories at the heart of the mystery, told with a careful balance of detail and empathy. You’ll hear Travis delve into the available evidence, discuss the theories that have emerged over time, and often sit with the unsettling reality that some puzzles remain incomplete. This isn't about sensationalism; it's about the persistent search for answers in the face of silence. For anyone drawn to the complexities of true crime and the haunting possibility of the paranormal, this podcast offers a thoughtful, compelling space to consider what happens when someone simply disappears. The atmosphere is one of quiet investigation, making it a distinctive voice in the genre.
