The Laureen Rahn disappearance takes center stage in this Unexplained News Update, as we revisit the 1980 vanishing of a 14-year-old girl from her Manchester, New Hampshire apartment. Host Reese Haldon walks through unscrewed hallway lights, an unlocked door, a friend sleeping in Laureen’s bed—and years of eerie 3:45 AM phone calls, motel links to a teen hotline and alleged pornographer, and new 2025 testimony that raises hard questions about family dynamics, possible predators, and a case that still straddles true crime and high strangeness.

We also investigate how modern DNA tools are cracking long-cold cases, including the identification of “John Charles City Doe” and a breakthrough in the Jennifer Kiely murder. Plus, we cover controversial claims of giant underground columns beneath the Giza Pyramids, NOAA’s cancelled 2025 “phantom” geomagnetic storm, a recurring mystery light over Russian snowfields, a young woman’s years-long encounters with the shadowy Hat Man, and a family who all turned out to be two inches shorter than their own records.

Produced by Unexplained.co and hosted by Reese Haldon, this 12–15 minute bulletin follows the threads where solid reporting, fringe science, and lived anomalous experiences meet—without forcing tidy answers. What do you think really happened to Laureen Rahn, and how much of our world remains unexplained?
