Episode 5- The "Missingest Missing Man in America" NYS Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater

Listen to the Complete Episode Here

On April 6, 1930, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater stepped off a curb outside a New York City restaurant and vanished. Rumors swirled about his whereabouts and overall fate, but 93 years later, he's still never been found. This episode, we dive into the case of the missing NYS Supreme Court Justice and the reason why he has been dubbed the "missingest missing man in America". The wild story has all the elements- romance, danger, scandal, politics, and corruption. As a bonus I dive into a little history about Santa Claus and I might even sing a little.
