For the first time, you'll hear Brittany Wallace Shank's own voice from the day she disappeared — and what the people closest to her said when they didn't think anyone was listening.

This summer, Hide and Seek returns to Brittany's case with a bonus series built on what we never had the first time: newly obtained interviews — audio and video — and a case file that runs right up to today. Her final 911 call. What her husband answered, and what he wouldn't. A man who told police one story, and the truth another. What we were told. What we found out. The lies we uncovered.

New here? Start with Season 3. It's the full story of Brittany's disappearance from Sturgis, Michigan — and it'll make everything coming this summer land, with no catching up required.

And to everyone waiting on Season 5: it's still a full go. I'm actively working that case right now. The plan is Brittany's bonus series this summer, with Season 5 tentatively eyeing a late-2026 start. No firm date yet — but I'm not stepping away from it. If you want to put a little toward making it happen, there's a Season 5 production fund on Ko-fi.

Want to go deeper? Patreon is home base — behind-the-scenes, and the video interviews are coming there too. Come go deeper with us, and help keep the search for Brittany alive.

And if someone's come to mind while you've been listening — someone from back then, someone who knew her, someone who knows something — this is the episode to send them.

Seven years after Brittany Wallace Shank vanished in St Joseph County, Michigan, we return to where her story began.

This bonus episode takes you inside Brittany’s seven year memorial. A gathering shaped by love, grief, and a refusal to let her name fade. You will hear from family, community members, and Sheriff Spence as they come together during a winter storm that could not stop people from showing up for Brittany.

This is not a recap of the case.
This is about what Brittany left behind.
The bonds she created.
The community that still stands.
And the quiet hope that refuses to die.

This is Hide and Seek.
And this is Brittany’s legacy.
