Two Bonus Episodes: Slick's Sons and Detective Hart
Mat Jr. and David remember their father, and Kenny Hart reflects five years later
Hey listeners of The Unforgotten!
I’m Aislyn Gaddis, a producer at Free Range. I grew up in Henderson, Texas, and just graduated from The University of Texas this spring with a degree in Journalism. I worked on true crime podcasts in college, so getting to help with The Unforgotten has been a dream. I’m excited to share some updates about where we are now and what’s coming next!
If you haven’t already, check out our latest bonus episodes diving deeper into two of the most compelling figures from Season 3.
In “Remembering Slick with David and Mat Jr.,” hosts Adam Rittenberg and Kyle Bonagura sit down with Mat Rocha Jr. and David Rocha to share stories about their father that didn’t make it into the main series.
Listen to Remembering Slick with David and Mat Jr. wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
They discuss Slick’s legendary softball career that lasted into his 80s, his unique approach to youth coaching, and the nicknames he gave everyone he met. Mat Jr. and David also open up about what it was like learning about their father’s Vietnam experiences as young adults and how their father processed everything after Dolores was finally identified.
In “Five Years Later with Detective Kenny Hart,” Adam and Kyle talk with the retired Benicia detective on the fifth anniversary of the phone call that changed everything.
Listen to Five Years Later with Detective Kenny Hart wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
Recording on October 20th — exactly five years after identifying Dolores — Kenny reflects on how close he’s become with the Wulff and Rocha families, reveals his surprising background in the ‘80s hair band scene, and explains why he’s applying to volunteer with the Doe Network to continue working cold cases in retirement.
We have one more bonus episode coming soon featuring Tony Rocha, one of the “foot soldiers” who led the family’s relentless campaign to find Dolores.
And mark your calendars: Season 4 of The Unforgotten launches in November with a new Texas true crime mystery.
As always, thank you for supporting the work we do with The Unforgotten.
