"The Disappearance of Heather Thomas" is the story this podcast started on, and one that is still very close and personal to me as an individual. Recently I relistened to the telling of her story, and felt that I didn't quite do it justice, that it could have been more concise, more direct, and more about Heather herself. The podcast itself has become something more than I ever thought it would be, and so too should its first and most personal case. This time I will be telling Heather's story without the semi-autobiographical tone: no yelling, no rushing, and, of course, with sound designer Matt Black, this time, to make it all sound wonderful. Written and Narrated By: Cole WeaversSound Production and Editing By: Matt Black Want more Tales by Cole?VISIT OUR PATREON!http://www.patreon.com/TalesByCole Learn more about your ad choices.
