One night in 2020, a woman named Beth Van Os paced back and forth in a small room in the house she shared with her boyfriend, Mike, in rural Colorado. She dialed Mike's phone number again and put her phone to her ear, but just like the last time she'd called, he didn't pick up. And so now, Beth was afraid. Mike had left that morning, headed for the woods, promising her that when he came back, they would finally have everything they had ever dreamed of. He had also taken something with him, something he had become obsessed with, something that Beth had begged him to forget about and throw away, but he had refused. And now, he was simply gone. Beth dialed the phone again, but this time, she called the police.
But before we get into that story, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do and we upload twice a week. Once on Monday and once on Thursday. As well as this very special episode of a new format I'm calling You Can't, which we upload periodically. If you're a fan of my YouTube channel, you know that we have a very popular series called Places You Can't Go and People Who Went There Anyways. And so we decided to tell some stories that are similar to those here on this podcast, something that's a new concept. Now, keep in mind, this is in addition to the regular upload schedule. This is like a special extra upload.
And we are going to do this periodically just to give you more Mr. Ballin stories that we know you all love. So, if that's of interest to you, on the next day the Follow Button barbecues their famous steak that they and their family adore, be sure to, beforehand, secretly steal all their steak knives and replace them with plastic cutlery. Okay, let's get into today's story.

Last year, law and crime brought you the trial that captivated the nation. She's accused of hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe, with her car. Karen Reid is arrested and charged with second-degree murder. The six-week trial resulted in anything but resolution.
We continue to find ourselves at an impasse. I'm declaring a mistrial in this case.
But now the case is back in the spotlight. And one question still lingers. Did Karen Reid kill John O'Keefe? The evidence is overwhelming that Karen Reid is innocent. How does it feel to be a cop killer, Karen? I'm Kristen Thorne, investigative reporter with Law & Crime and host of the podcast, Karen the Retrial. This isn't just a retrial. It's a second chance at the truth. I have nothing to hide. My life is in the balance and it shouldn't be.
I just want people to go back to who the victim is in this. It's not her.
Listen to episodes of Karen, The Retrial, exclusively and ad-free on Wondery+.
On March 18, 2020, 53-year-old Mike Sexton sped across an open field on a snowmobile in Dinosaur National Monument, a huge park that stretches out over 200,000 acres on the Colorado-Utah border. Mike glanced over and saw his good friend and poker buddy, Stephen Inlow, on a snowmobile of his own. And Mike could see Stephen had a big smile on his face. He knew his friend was taking in the stunning scenery all around them. They were cruising across a snow-covered field, there were forests on either side, and the hills and mountains and mesas all rising up in the distance. Now, normally, that's what Mike would be doing too. He loved the outdoors, and this place was absolutely beautiful.
