The Mysterious Story of Larry Bader

# Summary

This episode tells the bizarre true story of Larry Bader, an Akron, Ohio family man who disappeared during a fishing trip on Lake Erie in 1957, only to mysteriously reappear eight years later as Fritz Johnson, a charming TV personality living a completely different life in Omaha, Nebraska. When fingerprints prove they're the same person, investigators must unravel whether this is an elaborate escape or something far more mysterious—a rare psychological condition called dissociative fugue that causes complete identity loss. The hosts explore how this discovery upended multiple families' lives and dive into the fascinating medical mystery of whether Fritz genuinely had no memory of being Larry.
