The title says it all. Today we talk about Leonarda Cianciulli, the soap maker of Correggio. But Amy, Dani, what's so dark about making soap? Let us tell you! It's not so much about the soap as what (or who) it's made from.....

In this episode, we explore the heartbreaking and mysterious case of Billy Martin a 7 year old boy who vanished without a trace from his hometown of Brazil, Indiana right out of his front yard... sparking one of the most unsettling and enduring mysteries in the states history. In this episode, we take you back to that summer afternoon- the carnival across town, the tricycles in the driveway, and the trusted boarder named "Tex" who was the last to see Billy alive. What followed was a frantic search filled with inconsistencies, failed polygraphs and chilling rumors that persist to this day. Was Billy the victim of a random act-- or did someone close to the family hold the key all along? This case remains unsolved nearly 70 years later. This is the story of Billy Earl Martin-a boy who vanished and a family and community still haunted by questions.
