Patricia Bennett Murder: Her Phone Kept Texting After She Disappeared

Patricia Bennett Murder: Her Phone Kept Texting After She Disappeared

Author: Moms and Mysteries Podcast September 29, 2026 Duration: 52:18
In late 2019, 69 year old Patricia Bennett suddenly stopped answering calls from her family. Messages continued coming from her phone, but her grandson John knew something was wrong. The wording did not sound like Patricia, and no matter how often he asked, he could not hear her voice. As police checked the shifting stories told by Patricia’s daughter, Carol Rey, the lies began to unravel. Patricia was not at her sister’s house or at the doctor’s office, and her phone was found hidden inside the home. We cover Patricia’s disappearance, John’s persistence, and the investigation that revealed what had happened to her. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Between school drop-offs and grocery runs, Mandy and Melissa found a shared obsession with the unanswered questions lurking in the shadows. Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast is the result: a conversation that feels like sitting at a kitchen table with two friends who are deeply curious about the human condition. Their perspective is uniquely grounded, examining each story not just for its shock value, but for the societal threads and personal tragedies that weave it together. You’ll hear them discuss everything from the strangely specific weirdness of a Florida crime to a globally known cold case, always with a blend of empathy and a dash of necessary, dark humor. This isn't a clinical report; it's a twice-weekly deep dive fueled by a lifelong fascination with mysteries, both big and small. The tone is warm, the research is thorough, and the conversation is the kind you get hooked on. New episodes of this true crime podcast arrive every Tuesday and Thursday, ready to be your companion during a commute or while folding laundry. They’ve been asking "how did this happen?" since they were kids, and now they’re pulling up a chair for you to join that ongoing, compelling discussion.
