S2E24: The Walk That Never Ended: The Disappearance of Madeline Edman

On a warm summer evening in La Crosse, Wisconsin, fifteen-year-old Madeline Edman left a laundromat and began the short walk home. It was a routine moment—one that should have taken only minutes. But somewhere between that laundromat door and the house where she should have been safe, Madeline vanished without a trace.

Nearly two decades later, the questions remain. Was it a crime of opportunity? Did someone see her walking alone and seize the moment? Or did something far more complex unfold in the quiet streets of this Mississippi River city?

In this episode of Among Monsters, host Myia Vale explores the mysterious disappearance of Madeline Edman—examining the timeline of that summer night, the haunting lack of witnesses, and the theories investigators have considered over the years.

Because sometimes the most chilling mysteries are not the ones hidden deep in the wilderness…

They are the ones that happen on an ordinary walk home.
