Description
Our card this season is Darlene Hulse, the 4 of Hearts from Indiana.
Darlene Hulse was forcibly taken from her home in Argos, Indiana on August 17, 1984. Her two oldest daughters witnessed the attack but they didn’t recognize the man who took their mother. Though Darlene’s body would be found a day later, just six miles from her home, her killer has evaded law enforcement for almost four decades and the investigation has remained cold…until now.

Such a tease! 😅 "That's coming up in the next episode " gets me every time! 🤣
I've never cried b/c of a podcast...til the last episode during the audio of the girls when they were babies. heart wrenching.
I feel like someone should look into Nelson. I think Marie’s description sketch looks a LOT like Nelson in the photograph of him at the table and the mic. Episode 8. The way he acts towards the family is bizarre. Like why? Why act like this if you’re trying to solve a case. Maybe Nelson had ties to the marijuana farm. And that BUS! Something is connected there.
You know I love the podcast and all of Ashley Flowers' work and AudioChuck. But I can't help but wonder why, if Emily did the majority of the investigating, why isn't she the one speaking the podcast?
Thank you very much https://lol-beans.io
He doesn't sound like he suspects these things. He sounds like he knows that's how it happened. Which would make sense why he didn't want anyone working the case.
you're really trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with this guy. there is no mystery. it's not deep. You must just be doing that for suspense in your podcast.
Nelson is either sketchy as hell or a complete moron. I don't know what's worse since he's the gatekeeper of the case...
Why is he so secretive? He should be happy that this podcast is bringing attention to this case. Doesn't he want it solved? Why is he making the victims kids feel guilty for pushing for this case to be solved.? It just feels off and very strange.
Nelson, you should be ashamed of yourself. You are not a good person and you need to retire. It's scary that you have any involvement with any cases at all. How date he treat a victims daughter the way he has!! Appalling.
ugh Nelson just wtf
this guy sounds suspicious 🤔 he's weird.
I signed this petition! https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-darlene-hulse?redirect=false
Lawd, I can't breathe over here. Hearing how loving Darlene was with her girls and their sweet lil voices took it over the edge for me. No one deserved this and I pray there will be answers soon💞✨
I enjoyed listening to this series a lot. I prefer the more in-depth podcasts to some of their one-off episodes. Hopefully, this will help highlight this horrific story and jump start a proper investigation to give the family answers.
