This episode brings the first of what will be two updates on the ever-growingly infamous Randy Sellers case out of Kenton County Kentucky.\xa0 It was at the County Fair in 1980 when 17 year-old Randy Sellers, after some rowdy behavior, was ostensibly driven home by Kenton County Police, who claimed they dropped Sellers off close to his home \u2013 only to have him go missing\u2026forever.\xa0\xa0Melissa and the podcast have developed a keen interest in this case , and Melissa\u2019s saga with the case, involving everything from misinformation, a possibly corrupt police agency and even a phone call with the FBI.\xa0 If you haven\u2019t been following along, listen to Episodes 69, 121 and 151 (in order).\xa0 You\u2019ll be drawn in too.\xa0\xa0One of the most fascinating characters Melissa has met in her investigation of the Sellers case is the owner of a farm that was once part of a larger farm where rumors have had it for years that Randy Sellers\u2019 body is buried.\xa0 That concerned citizen \u2013 who we\u2019re calling \u201cJeremy\u201d in this episode, has spent innumerable hours and a lot of his own money searching for the facts \u2013 and has found more information than 41 years\u2019 worth of investigators.\xa0\xa0Jeremy recently introduced Melissa to Fred Scroggins, a retired Kentucky State Police detective who\u2019s spent more than 20 years \u2013 both on and off the job \u2013 trying to solve the Sellers disappearance.\xa0\xa0Jeremy and Detective Scrogins were going to do a joint interview for this episode \u2013 but as you\u2019ll hear, Fred Scroggins had an unexpected medical issue (wait until you hear about THAT), but is recovering and will join Melissa for Part 2 of this update very soon.\xa0\xa0For now, take a listen as Melissa and Jeremy go over what\u2019s known, what\u2019s not known, and what the likeliest scenario is surrounding the vanishing of Randy Sellers. \xa0PLUS \u2013 Melissa has a few choice words for police who hand off personal information without asking first.\xa0 A most enjoyable episode, if we do say so ourselves!
