Executive producer Joe Aguiar joins host Jessica Fritz Aguiar to update you on the case of Doreen Vincent. Her father, Mark Vincent, has been released to a halfway house in Bridgeport, CT. Mark will be greeted each day with a billboard about Doreen's case just outside of his window. We are doing a GoFundMe to produce the $8700 dollars needed for two billboards in CT. Jess and Joe also discuss the status of their FOIA request, and the illegal way the Wallingford PD responded to it. Is another hearing coming soon?

Mark Vincent Parole Hearing Update   

At Milford Christian Church, Pastor Jim Loomer likes to portray himself as “All Things to All Men,” as putting aside his own desires, comfort, and pride so that he can bring people to Jesus as envisioned in First Corinthians.  In doing so, Jim portrays himself as an average Joe, a man of the people, a happy go lucky man of God.  But underneath that mask lies a craven soul marked by a penchant for twisting God’s words to serve his purposes, and using his church as a weapon to harm those who would expose him.  Discover Jim’s history as a young Christian new to the pulpit, and follow him as he branches out into the realms of education and politics, where his hypocrisy is on full display.  Jim’s sins were so blatant, in fact, that this episode had to be split in two, with the second half – containing a look at how Jim uses the church as not only a sword, but also as a shield to protect those who would hurt children like Doreen Vincent and Emily Martin – coming shortly.  #pastorloomer #milfordchristian #allthingstoallmen #doreenvincent #justicefordori #emilymartin #justiceforemily

S3 EP11 All Things to All Men 

The children of Milford Christian never had it easy. But after everything else – after isolation from the outside world and the insistence on conformity, after the humiliation, the beatings, the terror – the strict, draconian rules on appearance, relationships and sex took the largest toll. Learn about a different kind of abuse to which they were subjected, and the shame and scars it caused.

Special Announcement from Jessica 

While Connecticut banned corporal punishment in public schools in 1989, it’s alive and well at Milford Christian Academy.  Under Pastor Jim Loomer and headmistress Susan Martin – who has her own personalized paddle – the school sought to impose paideia, or nurture from strike or sting, on its students to keep them in line, just like when Mark Vincent paddled Doreen on the day she disappeared.  Get the latest update on Mark’s gun charge and learn another secret about Susan that binds her to Doreen’s father.  Content warning – this episode contains descriptions of the physical abuse of children.

S3 EP 9 Paideia

Learn more about not only Susan Martin’s culture of fear and cruelty at Milford Christian Academy, but also the shocking secrets of what makes the woman herself tick.  Hear how parents and teachers felt powerless to stand up in the face of Susan’s methods – especially with Pastor Jim Loomer in her corner.  Learn a bit about what Mark Vincent has been up to all these years, and how Milford Christian escapees bear the scars of the church they left behind.  Discover the first of many disturbing skeletons in Milford Christian’s closet.  Trigger warning: this episode features graphic depictions of child abuse and references to suicide.

S3 EP 8 Child Of Destiny 

Dividing Milford Christian children from their parents was only the first part of Susan Martin’s plan. Next came a personality that ruled with fear, didn’t take no for an answer, was not afraid to lie to your face with a sweet smile. Come deep into the dark culture of Berean Academy and Church, a place where Jim Loomer felt free to not only allow, but foster, a man like Mark Vincent in his lair. Learn about a culture that - on top of the Wallingford Police Department, the Meriden Wallingford Record Journal, and Teen Challenge - has held up Justice for Doreen Vincent for decades.

S3 EP 7 You Became Mine

Attorney Jessica Fritz-Aguiar continues the investigation of the Doreen Vincent case featured on Season 2 of the podcast Faded Out. Fritz-Aguiar was the lead investigator on that podcast, and has filed a FOIA request against the Wallingford CT police, to get to the bottom of this 32 year old missing persons case.

Well put together, informational, entertaining, and gut wrenching. Let’s find Doreen!

One of the best podcasts out there!

Great Show

Walk Softly Children 

Doreen was gone, and people were looking for her. Maybe not always the right people. But others would be there to watch them to challenge them and to call out for answers. And maybe a little justice, just like the Lady in White.

The Lady in White

Sharon Vincent took a walk after Doreen was gone, to think and try out the neighborhood raspberries. Some might think she’s a victim; others a villain. Only Raspberry Season will tell.

Raspberry Season 

When it comes to Doreen Vincent, it's always been women's work.  Since she became a cold case, billed as a runaway in 1988, and for a while it seemed like only the women in her life were there to pick up the pieces.  They were there to pick up the pieces for Mark, too.

Can't Keep From Crying Sometime

The Wallingford Police gave Jessica some information about a 2003 plan for Mark to meet with detectives to offer information on Doreen's disappearance, but the State's Attorney wouldn't offer full immunity. What did the WPD miss, what happened at 1316 Whirlwind Hill Rd, what was going on with Doreen's "underwear model career" and more silly little stones that will blow this case wide open!
