Listen to this episode BEFORE the Premium Episode 9 Roundtable Review (Free for a limited time.)
In 1982, Ted Braden was sitting in an Ohio jail facing criminal charges.
Then the FBI arrived.
Not to question him.
Not to charge him.
To take him.
The charges went nowhere.
And then Ted Braden disappeared.
For roughly a year, the documented trail goes silent.
No record explaining where he was taken.
No explanation for what happened to the charges.
No clear account of what he was doing.
Then Ted suddenly reappeared nearly 1,200 miles away.
Houston, Texas.
Episode 9 enters one of the most mysterious gaps yet discovered in Ted Braden’s life and follows the remarkable chain of events that came after it.
A stranger gives Ted a second chance.
Ted returns to crime.
Another journey carries him across the country.
And after years of remarkably light or nonexistent consequences, something changes.
For once, things do not go Ted Braden’s way.
But behind everything is the larger mystery.
The unexplained FBI intervention.
The missing year.
The unexpected location where Ted resurfaced.
And a possibility that could fundamentally change our understanding of what Ted Braden was doing during one of the most secretive periods of his life.
Where did the FBI take Ted Braden in 1982, and what happened during the year he disappeared?
