Gone Fishing

Gail Maney spent 15 years in prison for putting a hit on a man who stole drugs from her. She always insisted she knows nothing about his disappearance. The podcast that sparked a new investigation.

Explicit language, violence and adult themes

Produced and hosted by Amy Maas and Adam Dudding

A dark green background with stars, the title "Gone Fishing" in bold letters with a red target overlay, and the tagline 'Mayhem. Murder... Maybe.' Below, a winding road with a red car and silhouetted trees.
