The Final Trace

OdieStew Productions

The Final Trace is a true crime podcast digging into chilling disappearances, cold cases, and mysteries that still leave us searching for answers.

Hosted by Hopper Dailey & Mckenzie, each chapter steps into final moments, overlooked clues, and theories that linger. Every story is a chapter - not the whole book. Just one page of someones story... the page where everything changed. From strange sightings to unsettling truths, we follow the clues wherever they lead.

New Chapters every True Crime Tuesday.
