On today’s daily podcast, we dive headfirst into a real-life story that feels like Gone Girl but somehow even more chaotic — because this one actually happened. A mom in North Carolina tells her kids she’s heading out to do some Christmas shopping… and then vanishes. No calls. No sightings. No updates. For. Twenty. Four. Years.Yeah. Twenty. Four.The FBI got involved. The husband was suspected. The kids grew up believing their mom was either dead or abducted. Every holiday season? Trauma with tinsel on top. And then — out of nowhere — she’s found alive, living just a couple hours away, apparently doing just fine.So today on the show, we unpack everything:• Is disappearing legally allowed? (Surprisingly… kind of.)• Should there be abandonment charges?• Could you ever forgive a parent for that?• And how in the hell do you start over without anyone noticing for two decades?The crew goes full debate mode. Is she a sociopath? Was there something darker going on? Did she just decide “nah” and hit reset? We don’t have all the answers — but we absolutely have opinions. Loud ones.Plus, we spiral (in true Rizz Show fashion) into van life influencers, whether running away mid-commute is a universal parent fantasy, generational breakdowns from Silent Gen to Gen Beta, and the psychology of wanting to disappear for a few hours… or forever.It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s sarcastic. It’s exactly what you expect from your favorite daily podcast that can pivot from serious true crime to sunscreen jokes in under 90 seconds.And yes — we also roast VIP festival passes, debate whether it’s weird to go to concerts alone, and question the morality of gifting someone ONE ticket. (Who does that?)If you love real stories that make you say “wait… WHAT?” — this episode of our daily podcast delivers.Welcome to The Rizzuto Show.
