On October 30, 2025, Fruitland Police arrested Stacey Wondra in connection with the disappearance of Michael Joseph “Monkey” Vaughan, who vanished from his Idaho neighborhood on July 27, 2021.

In this episode, we break down the major developments in the case, including a detailed look at the probable cause affidavits for both Sarah and Stacey Wondra. We discuss what investigators now believe happened the day Michael disappeared, how the evidence has evolved, and what this new arrest could mean for Michael’s family and the ongoing search for answers.
