It's an old chapter but a new story... In this exclusive spin-off podcast to SEARCH we uncover the lost story of John McNair. Almost a year since the disappearance of her brother Matt McNair and death of her father John McNair, Sarah receives a mysterious delivery from an unknown source; her Dad's old work. When she pushes play on her Dad's old recordings, she uncovers not only the story he was working on when he originally disappeared, but answers to questions she never thought of asking. Because something has been hidden....but not anymore. But what did John McNair find? Why was it hidden? And who has sent Sarah this recording after all this time? Uncover The McNair Report, with a new episode released every month. Exclusive to Patreon subscribers. Created, Written and Executive Produced by Chris Patrick.
