Episode 14: The curious case of Ruth Baumgardner

Episode Notes On May 4, 1937, Ruth Baumgardner said goodnight to her sorority sisters, then went to her dorm room at Ohio Wesleyan to study for a test. But Ruth didn't make it to that class, or any other class, the next day. A national manhunt was launched. Two years later, her parents would privately ask police to close the case, with no public explanation of what they had learned or if Ruth had been discovered. Could it have had something to do with a human trafficking ring operating in the area? www.ohiomysteries.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Drive, by Jessica Hannan.
