A Simpler Time True Crime
I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past—stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of “the good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one.
This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case—focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.
A Simpler Time True Crime
The Abduction of Gail Joiner
In the fall of 1972, a young girl in a rural community outside of Tampa couldn’t wait to get some fresh air after school. And for this walk, she had a unique companion: her pet raccoon whom she affectionally called Bandit. She walked out of the house and told her father she would be back in time for dinner. But her family would never see her again. Her family vowed to stay in the Thonotosassa area until they found answers, but after fifty years and a case with countless twists and turns – those answers still seem as far away as the day Gail vanished.
