25 SEP 2026 · Dos hijas del mismo hombre, viviendo once días en el mismo dormitorio sin saberlo
A quiet, calculated double life unraveled from a single spiral-bound planner left on a gravel path: two college freshmen, two cities 112 miles apart, and a father listed with the same birthday and employer on both emergency forms - how could two families live parallel lives for a decade without knowing? What secret kept those calendars aligned until one ordinary object exposed everything?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events that began the morning a road grader operator found a sealed shoebox and what university paperwork revealed next, following the facts that forced campus staff to contact local authorities and raising the question of how two households were coordinated for years.
Person: Clifford (first name shared by both fathers)
Date: March 19 (shared birthday)
Event: Planner from Aldenmoor State University found on September 11, 2014
Location: Harwick County; cities Drelling and Cavett, Wisconsin (112 miles apart)
Case: Two daughters (Paige and Mara) enrolled at Aldenmoor State in August 2014
- The planner found on September 11, 2014 was purchased at the Aldenmoor State campus bookstore in late August and only had the first two weeks of September filled.
- The planner’s two columns were labeled Drelling and Cavett, representing two schedules and two addresses.
- Both daughters were born on March 19 (Paige in 2001; Mara in 2005) and both enrolled at Aldenmoor State in August 2014.
- Both emergency contact forms listed the same employer: Harwick County HVAC Association, and similar physical descriptions for the father.
- Clifford alternated weeks between Cavett and Drelling with matching Thursday diner routines (same meal, same $4 tip, same face-down newspaper) for about ten years. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

24 SEP 2026 · She Brought the Bag: The Woman Living Two Secret Lives
Curiosity turns to unease when a navy canvas tote bag left at a locked Grange Hall contains two state driver's licenses with the same woman’s face and a wedding program dated June 2011-how did one woman live two separate lives for eight years without a slip, and why did she bring the only proof with her to a small-town reunion? Search terms like double life and secret identities crawl beneath that question-what finally unravelled on August 10, 2019?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of facts that led from a routine breaker reset to a discovery that exposed parallel lives. Hear how the bag, the reunion mailer, and a quiet pattern of weekly travel fit together and ask whether the reunion was planned or accidental.
Person: Debra Farrell
Date: August 10, 2019
Location: Harwick Grange Hall, County Road Seven
Event: High school reunion
Case: Navy canvas tote bag with two driver's licenses and a June 2011 wedding program

- The bag remained in an evidence locker for fourteen months before someone signed for it on a Tuesday morning and left without comment. To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.

23 SEP 2026 · The Blue Card That Unraveled Two Husbands' Lives in One Afternoon
A single pale blue anniversary card, taped face-out on a mailbox 41 miles from where it was mailed, exposed a two-year double life that relied on meticulous routines and two sets of husbandly assumptions. How did a transposed zip code and a return name - Donna Edwards - force two men into the same kitchen believing the same marriage?
In this episode, we trace the chain of small, concrete choices that kept the deception intact for years and the single postal error that began to unwind it. What happened when a card meant for Birchway Court arrived on Prentiss Loop and two husbands converged?
Date: July 14, 2011
Location: Prentiss Loop, Harwick, Ohio
Person: Donna (known as Donna Kearns in Harwick and Dee Shelby in Kellerton)

22 SEP 2026 · A Child's Shoe at a House With No Children: The Susan Hayes Case
A single size-four white sneaker marked "Owen" sat on a doorstep at a house where no child lived, sent from 230 miles away and photographed by a meter reader who had worked the street for 14 years. What began as one ordinary morning would unravel a decade of double lives and a secret that ended the moment Susan Hayes collapsed in a hospital parking lot-so what was she trying to protect with such precision?
In this episode, we lay out the timeline, locations, and relationships that made up Susan Hayes's two lives and the small, concrete clues left behind. We follow the facts from the sneaker on Alderton Way to the separate bank account and consultancy registration in Orenton, asking how Susan balanced two households and who truly knew Owen.

She bought a birthday cake at 2:17 p.m. on January 4, 2011, paid with a card linked to an address 41 miles from where her husband thought she was - then vanished, leaving a slice removed and no sign of struggle. Who was the woman who kept two lives in perfect balance, and what stopped her system on that afternoon?
In this episode, we follow the chronological facts uncovered by investigators and witnesses to map the routines, records, and people connected to Darlene Myers, asking how a life split between two towns could be sustained for over a decade and then disappear without a trace.

16 SEP 2026 · The Two Lives He Kept: A Life Insurance, A Pond, A Secret Tuesday Night
A laminated life insurance policy floated face-up in a pond nine days after the insured died, and the beneficiary address was forty miles away - so how did one man keep two separate households without anyone seeing the full shape of it? The pond, a secret apartment, and a string of precise Tuesday-night departures hint at a divided life that only surfaced after his death.
