About Us
The Red Dirt Missing is an investigative true crime podcast dedicated to shedding light on the missing persons cases and cold cases hidden within the iconic "red dirt" regions of the United States. From the expansive plains of Oklahoma to the thick clay hills of Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Tennessee, our show explores cases where the trails have gone cold, but the earth still holds its secrets.
Our Mission
In these states, the soil is stained a deep rust-red by iron and time, creating a landscape as beautiful as it is unforgiving. We believe that no case is too old and no story is too small. Our mission is to:
Give a Voice to the Voiceless: We focus on victims whose stories have faded from the headlines but remain etched in the hearts of their families.
Bridge the Gap: By combining deep-dive research with local cultural context, we aim to provide a more complete picture of the environments where these disappearances occurred.
Advocate for Answers: We work to keep these cases in the public eye, hoping that a fresh look or a new listener’s tip might finally bring closure to families left in limbo.
Why "Red Dirt"?
The red dirt isn't just a geographical marker; it's a symbol of the resilience and history of the people who live here. It stains everything it touches—shoes, clothes, and memories. Through this podcast, we dig beneath that surface to uncover the truth, one layer at a time.
Join us every week as we sift through the files and follow the dust trails of the cases time almost forgot. Because out here, the dirt may be red, but justice should never be grey.
Meet The Team
Candace
Host / Executive Producer
With over 6 years of experience as a Licensed Social Worker, I brings a profound sense of empathy and systemic insight to the helm of The Red Dirt Missing Podcast. I use my background in social work to navigate the complexities of trauma, grief, and victim advocacy. I don’t just report on crime; I provide a platform for families to share their stories with the dignity and respect they deserve. My deep understanding of Oklahoma’s social services, tribal jurisdictions, and legal systems allows me to identify where cases may have fallen through the cracks. I am uniquely skilled at navigating bureaucracy to find the truth behind the red tape. Specializing in cases involving marginalized communities and missing persons, I am dedicated to the belief that every individual’s safety and story is a matter of public importance. Our work is a blend of relentless investigation and a tireless pursuit of social justice.
Brittnie
Investigative Researcher / Social Media Manager
With a deep love of true crime, I specialize in uncovering the stories buried in the red clay of the Southern Plains. Focused on the cold cases and missing persons of the Red Dirt States, I go beyond the headlines to scour court records, archive police files, and build exhaustive timelines. My mission is to provide victim-centered research that honors the families left behind and gives a voice to those the world has overlooked. In this landscape, no trail is ever truly gone—just waiting for someone to look closer.
Kim
Guest Host / Researcher
Born and raised in Oklahoma, I bring a unique blend of local heart and clinical precision to the investigative team. As a Registered Nurse with years of experience, I approach every case with the critical eye of a medical professional—specializing in forensic evidence, injury patterns, and the often-overlooked nuances of autopsy reports. As a guest host, I serve as the bridge between the technical and the human—translating complex medical data into a narrative that respects the victims and relentlessly pursues the truth.
