Carnival of Lies ////// Part 1

May 25th is National Missing Children’s Day. President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25, 1983 as the first National Missing Children’s Day. He established the annual observance to bring national awareness to child safety and encourage communities to prioritize protection efforts. The date was chosen to mark the sad anniversary of the disappearance of Etan Patz, a six-year-old who vanished from a New York City street corner on May 25, 1979. Twelve years after Etan Patz disappeared and on National Missing Children’s Day 1991, a five-year-old boy named Timothy Wiltsey vanished from a Carnival in Sayreville, New Jersey. This week in observance of National Missing Children’s Day, we take a look at a case that will never leave the hearts and minds of many. This is the unsolved case of Timothy “Timmy” Wiltsey. To learn more about National Missing Children’s Day and/or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children go to MissingKids.org

Settle in for a detailed, often gritty conversation that feels like hanging out in a friend's garage. On True Crime Garage, hosts Nic and the Captain take a weekly, methodical look at real-life mysteries, from infamous international headlines to lesser-known local stories that deserve a closer examination. Their approach is both analytical and conversational, breaking down the facts, timelines, and theories surrounding each case with a focus on thorough research. The tone is grounded, featuring the kind of sharp, off-the-cuff banter that comes from two friends deeply engrossed in a topic, making the complex details of an investigation more accessible. You'll hear them sift through evidence, debate possibilities, and sometimes even revisit older cases with new information, all while maintaining a respectful tone toward the victims and their families. This isn't about sensationalism; it's about pulling a case apart piece by piece to understand the how and why. The result is an immersive podcast experience that feels less like a formal lecture and more like a compelling, extended dialogue. For anyone fascinated by the unresolved and the meticulously researched, True Crime Garage offers a substantive, engaging listen that goes beyond the surface-level facts, all delivered with the casual, familiar vibe of a late-night discussion.
