Episode 6: Moving On

From small-town Minnesota to Southern California, the search for answers never stopped.

Hello Unforgotten listeners,

This week, we’ll follow the aftermath of Carl Wulff’s murder charge being dismissed in 1985. With his life in California in ruins, Carl retreats to his roots in rural Minnesota, and we take a look at his upbringing to try to understand the man he became.

The episode traces his strained relationship with his children, his dependence on his brother and the fallout that rippled through both the Wulff and Rocha families.

Listen to Episode 6: Moving On wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple, Spotify and YouTube.

But “Moving On” isn’t only about Carl’s decline. It’s also about the resilience of those left behind. Dolores’ children and grandchildren continued to build lives in the shadow of an unsolved case. Some sought answers directly from Carl, others found themselves navigating the emotional weight of silence, secrets and small-town whispers.

The story stretches from football stadiums to quiet farmhouses, from Minnesota back to California, and eventually to the emerging world of online communities dedicated to giving names back to the missing. Along the way, listeners will hear deeply personal reflections about be introduced to a world of people who help others search for answers.

Thanks for listening,
