Chapter 1: What are the stories in this minisode?

1514.309 - 1524.093

It's a very, very normal experience to have times where a relationship is prioritizing other parts of that relationship that aren't being naked together. How we love our family.

All right. I made this one last because it's such a nice idea. Okay. It's Glitch in the Matrix plus a teacher tribute. And then it says, Dear Karen in Georgia plus Exactly Right staff. Long-time listener, third-time writer. This might seem long, but I promise it's heartwarming. When I was in high school, there was a teacher named Mr. Truax.

1564.714 - 1587.657 Karen Kilgariff

He taught environmental science, and he was a well-known character in the hallways. Always had a smile on his face and always went out to support the sports teams. My junior year, me, him, and one of my best friends created a salsa club, which consisted of simply eating chips and salsa once a week. A salsa club? I thought it was a dancing club. That's cute. Yeah, not ballroom dancing.

1587.697 - 1623.739 Karen Kilgariff

Just eating chips. That's cute. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. So this came right after I graduated high school, and the whole community was saddened because he was such a pleasant person. I never had the chance to take environmental science, but he would put on a week-long project for students to sort through the trash in our cafeteria to see the real effects of food waste.

1624.44 - 1644.426 Karen Kilgariff

Flash forward to 2022, I'm in my senior year of college, and I apply for a job that analyzes food waste in Maine and looks for solutions that can be applied to various industries. I never really cared about food waste before this. I was 21 and thus extremely self-obsessed. But I kept thinking about Mr. Truax's project and felt called to do this work.

1645.066 - 1663.705 Karen Kilgariff

Mr. Truax's wife also worked in my high school, and I had taken two of her classes. Both me and my older sister had attended this school, and the Truax's were kind of like family friends. Anyways, the whole year I kept thinking I should email Mrs. Truax and tell her about this job, and how I felt inspired to honor her late husband, but I just never got around to it.

A body, a suspect, and a hundred years of silence. Buried Bones is a podcast about the forgotten crimes history tried to leave behind.

1939.117 - 1948.679 Paul Holes

A common misperception about serial predators is that every single time they commit a crime, they commit it the same way.

1949.246 - 1952.708 Kate Winkler-Dawson

The past is a way of talking if you know what to listen for.
