Hey, could we watch something after the sauna? Well, we could. Switching the window from rain or snow. Mökkitelkkari doesn't know how to offer exactly what Heidi and Arno are looking for from a summer party. Newest tango finale 88, strongest man finale 96. No. That's why you should pack with Elisa 5D. It makes the oldest Mökki TV from the most modern 5D center. We'd all laugh at Matlock or Hermonen Vespa. Enjoy the summer. Elisa. Go to elisamyymälään or elisa.fi. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It's time to turn off the lights and turn on the dark. Chilling tales for dark nights.

Good evening, and welcome once again to Chilling Tales for Dark Nights. I'm your host this evening, Steve Taylor. Tonight's story begins with a grim discovery along the shoreline of a quiet Missouri lake. What appears at first to be a tragic homicide soon reveals something far more disturbing. A trail of missing women, long-buried secrets, and evidence of a killer who has been operating in the shadows for years. As Sheriff Michael Osborne follows a growing chain of clues, from submerged vehicles and forgotten victims to a hidden collection that defies comprehension, he finds himself hunting a predator whose obsession extends beyond murder itself. Before we begin, I hope you'll join us again after tonight's feature as we take a few moments to share some important news about what's been happening behind the scenes here at Chilling Tales for Dark Nights.

We'll be discussing the ongoing challenges we've faced following YouTube's recent demonetization of the channel, the steps we're taking to navigate those changes, where things stand today, and several ways you can help support our network as we continue bringing these stories to life. But for now, settle in and dim the lights. The show is about to begin. Without further delay, I present to you, from author J.C. Fields, as performed by Paul J. McSorley, with production by Nicky McSorley, The Soul Collector.

A poorly tied slipknot, which held the body to a sandbag on the floor of the lake, succumbed to the forces of buoyancy and failed. This failure did not happen at first, but gradually, as decomposition within the torso produced sufficient gases to cause the cadaver to tug on the badly secured rope. The fact a rather large catfish nibbled on the knot did not assist in keeping it intact. At about midnight of the third day, after the poor soul's decapitated torso entered the water, the knot failed and it rose to the surface. A rather strong wind out of the northwest helped guide it toward the shoreline. By 5.30 in the morning, the nude, partially decomposed figure rested half out of the water next to the fishing docks of a rather busy marina.

Adele County, Missouri Sheriff Michael Osborne watched as two EMTs lifted the body bag, now containing the headless victim, onto a gurney. Did either one of you find any tattoos or other distinguishing marks before you placed her in the bag? Sally, a rather large-boned female EMT, shook her head. Sorry, Sheriff. I didn't see any. What about you, Joel? Not a thing. Osborne followed the gurney to the ambulance and stopped them before they loaded it inside. He pulled a latex glove onto his right hand and looked at the female EMT. I need to check something before you load her. He unzipped the bag and withdrew one of the arms with his gloved hand. Turning it so he could see the palm, he bent closer and stared at the fingertips.

When he was done, he returned the arm and zipped the bag closed. Turning to Sally, he said, Fingerprints look intact. I'll need a set. You got it, Sheriff. Stop by the hospital when you're through here. He nodded. Not quite ready to return to the crime scene, he stood and watched the ambulance pull away from the dock area. When it disappeared, he sauntered down the sloped launching ramp to where early morning fishermen discovered the body. Once he ducked under the yellow crime scene tape, he removed the glove from his right hand and approached one of the deputies taking pictures of the crime scene. Hey, Dwight, can you tell me who found her this morning?
