One thing is certain: *Something* happened to Thalia Massie on the night of September 12, 1931. She\u2019d stormed out of a party at the Ala Wai Inn alone, annoyed with her husband and his Navy friends. Later, when a car stopped to pick her up, Thalia had injuries to her face. She said she\u2019d been assaulted and robbed. When her husband came home that night, she told him that she\u2019d been beaten and raped by a group of Hawaiian men. Police quickly rounded up five young men.

\nThen Brandi tells us about the disappearance of Katherine Heckel. When Katherine never returned from her lunch break on July 15, 1991, her friends and family were concerned. She had two young children at home \u2013 she wouldn\u2019t leave them voluntarily. Naturally, investigators looked into her husband, John. He had an airtight alibi. So, suspicions turned on other men in Katherine\u2019s life. Police discovered a good suspect, but the case stalled out.

\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
