Sony Music Entertainment has launched a new investigative podcast, The Vanishing of Janis Rose.
It explores the mysterious disappearance of a young Mississippi mother in the late 1970s and the unsettling truths that emerge decades later.
Hosted by journalist Larrison Campbell, the series delves into the world of Janis Rose Bullock, a mother of four whose seemingly secure family life ended in sudden mystery when she disappeared without trace.
The podcast asks whether she left by choice or whether something more sinister happened, with rumours of abduction and murder surrounding her disappearance.
Forty years later, Campbell joins investigator Marc Ogden as he reopens Janis Rose’s cold case. What begins as a straightforward missing person’s investigation develops into a far-reaching story spanning three states, four marriages, stolen identities and two men with connections to murder.
Each revelation draws the team closer to understanding who Janis really was, while raising the question of whether she was a victim or a woman controlling her own fate from the shadows.
Campbell said: “I’ve always been drawn to stories where the mystery isn’t just a thing that happened but the person it happened to. And Janis Rose and the story that surrounds her case may be the most thrilling mystery I’ve ever encountered.
“Even after it was technically solved, the twists and revelations kept coming. The Vanishing of Janis Rose truly is a twisted tale in which the people you trust the most may be the ones you should have never trusted, to begin with.”
Subscribers to Sony’s premium podcast service, The Binge, can listen to all episodes of the series immediately, while weekly instalments are available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
