Episode 20: The disappearance of Mel Wiley

Episode 20: The disappearance of Mel Wiley

In 1985, Mel Wiley, the police chief in Medina County's Hinckley Township, tells his girlfriend he's meeting an old friend for a dip in Lake Erie. Three days later, park rangers find his abandoned car at Edgewater Park with his clothes, money and police ID inside - but no chief.

While townsfolk wonder if he met with foul play, was lost in a drowning accident or committed suicide, the lead investigator settles on a completely different theory: That Wiley, who loved writing mystery novels in his spare time, had simply walked away from his life to start anew somewhere else.
