17. Sydney Loofe: The Tinder Mask

Sydney Loofe goes missing in Lincoln, Nebraska after a night connected to Tinder... and within hours, the search isn’t just happening in the streets. It’s happening online.

A video appears. A calm voice. A plea that sounds like concern. But in a missing-person case, a public narrative can become a weapon… especially when it’s posted before anyone can verify the timeline.

Investigators and friends focus on the first real digital lead: a dating app profile name, “Audrey.” A chat thread. A phone number. And a version of events that starts to bend the more it’s repeated.

This episode follows the case as two timelines collide: what people thought they were watching… and what the evidence quietly starts to reveal.

Content warning: murder, recovery of human remains, discussion of torture, and self-harm. Listener discretion advised.
