His investigation takes him on a journey involving homicide detectives, ghost hunters, and even psychic mediums, and leads him to a dark secret about his own family. Check out Ghost Story, a series essential pick, completely ad-free on Apple Podcasts. Support for the show comes from Into the Mix, a Ben and Jerry's podcast about joy and justice, produced with Vox Creative.

Hi, everyone. I'm Brene Brown, and I'd love to tell you about a new series that's launching on Unlocking Us. I'm calling it the On My Heart and Mind podcast series. It's going to include conversations with some of my favorite writers on topics ranging from revolutionary love and gun ownership to menopause and finding joy in grief.
The first episode is available now, and I can't wait for you to hear it. All new episodes will drop on Wednesdays, and you can get them as soon as they're out by following Unlocking Us on Apple or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
Robert Dusault was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1940. It wasn't uncommon at that time for a family to hold a wake in their home after someone had died. People would come to pay their respects. Growing up, Robert Dusault would attend these wakes in people's houses.
He was an avid thief.
When he got to a wake, he would go through the receiving line downstairs and then go upstairs and look through closets and drawers, taking whatever seemed valuable. His sister Dorothy would help him sell what he stole.
