Stella Evon in Bethel: Alaska MMIW Cold Case | White House Ballroom Dig

The Stella Evon case still haunts Bethel, Alaska, nearly thirty years after the 17-year-old Yup'ik teen vanished on a short walk between her sister's apartment and her family home across from the police station. In this Unexplained News Update, we reconstruct Stella's final known hours, examine the chilling tip that she is in the well, and set her story inside Alaska's crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. Why do investigators believe someone in Bethel still knows the truth, and what does that say about rural policing?

We also investigate the Wisconsin Boy Scout camp skull that was supposed to be cremated remains, the forensic genealogy work by the DNA Doe Project that finally named Alyce Peterson, and the arrest that followed. Then we scrutinize the massive, privately funded White House underground ballroom project and a new study on the spider-like formation on Europa, before descending into listener encounters: a violent haunting in an Alabama home, a self-playing heirloom guitar and double-seen dog, and a Tim Hortons meeting that feels like a glitch in reality.

Hosted by Reese Haldon for the Unexplained.co network, this nightly bulletin blends hard investigation with high strangeness.

After everything in tonight's episode, is reality more fragile than we think?
