I'm Brett.
And I'm Alice.
And we are the prosecutors.
Today on the Prosecutors. A man disappears after a solo hike in the vicinity of Area 51. Accident? government involvement, maybe even aliens. This is the story of Kenny Veach. And the MK.
Hello everybody and welcome to this episode of The Prosecutors. I'm Brett and I'm joined as always by my alphabetical co host, Alice.
A through Z and everything in between. That's right. That's what we're here for.
M's right in the middle.
Ri M is right in the middle. It's one of the most interesting letters, especially when it's the center.
It goes up and down and up and down. It's like two Ms. Maybe two Vs upside down.
Or a W upside down. Two
V's upside down. That's yeah, or a W upside down. All sorts of stuff with the M. M's pretty cool, right?
M is pretty cool unless it leads to your
death. Disappearance.
I was gonna say disappearance.
Or demise. Demise? Abduction? Abduction? A lot of places to go with this one. This is a fun one. This is made for you. I love this story. This one's made for you. Actually.
I know. I know this is a good one. This is a story I've done. This is a
story I've been wanting to do since we started the podcast, like four hundred episodes ago. And you know what? After Lindsey Clancy and then Leo Frank. See we recorded that one so long ago I can't even remember the Leo Frank case. And by the way, Parade is
awesome. I've never seen Parade. I didn't know Parade existed. Well, so it came out in the nineties, which you probably were not watching musicals at that time because you lived very far from Broadway. And then it didn't come back for like thirty years. So I totally understand you not knowing it existed. But you didn't you didn't know it either? You didn't bring it up. I didn't no no no. I didn't realize it was the same one. Ah,
that's it.
I know the soundtrack, but I've never seen it. I've I've never seen it because but I will say Ben Platt I did see him in D C. Did you go with me? I made everyone go with me. When Dear Evan Hansen was not even off Broadway 'cause it was in D C and Ben Platt played the main character who is Evan Hansen. Well in dear Evan Hansen. Anyway, so this is a big
aside from the current case. But please continue, Alice.
We're gonna do this in one episode.
So I don't know that we have time to talk about parade, but it sounds great. It sounds incredible. Sounds like there's a big long story leading up to it.
All I wanna say for all our Broadway fans is there is not yet a musical about Kenny Veach as far as we know from the nineties or now and here's your opportunity because how many songs can we start with the letter M?
There you go. And it would be awesome.
And let's go, let's dive right in.
So Kenny Veach, our hero of this story, was the kind of guy who many would describe as eccentric.
What Did Kenny Veach Say About the M Cave Near Area 51?
I think that is the best way to describe him. The forty seven year old was an adventure enthusiast with a love of hiking and inventing things. He was the kind of guy who was always coming up with something, trying to get on Shark Tank, sell it for a bunch of money. That was what he wanted to do. He didn't want to have a job. He'd quit his job that he had. Never wanted to have a boss again. He was one of these free thinkers, one of these freedom loving guys. And so he would go off on these massive hikes in his home state of Nevada, where he was from. And he would spend much of his time on long heights through the deserts of Nevada and California. And he would often document those Hikes on his YouTube channel Snakebit McGee, which is a great name.
Sometimes alone, occasionally with his girlfriend Sharon. His favorite thing to do, though, was to take multi-day hikes where he would spend the evenings under the stars camping in the desert.
