How Did He Know?? #truecrime #crimejunkie #unsolvedmysteries

January 17, 2026 / 01:20

This episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Bonnie Lee Shults, focusing on key details from her husband Rick's police interview, co-worker Anita's statements, and boyfriend John's observations.

Detectives have long questioned Rick's knowledge of Bonnie's whereabouts on the night she vanished. Anita, Bonnie's co-worker, stated she only informed Rick that Bonnie and she were headed home around 3:00 a.m., yet Rick mentioned the Time Out Lounge and the route home, raising suspicions.

Investigators noted Rick's body language during the interview, suggesting he realized he had revealed too much information. This discrepancy has led detectives to consider two possibilities: either Anita provided more details than she recalled, or Rick was following Bonnie that night.

Adding to the mystery, John's gut feeling that someone was watching them that night and his observation of a car following Bonnie after he left further complicate the case.

TLDR

Rick's knowledge of Bonnie's night raises suspicions about her disappearance.

Okay, here is the moment that detectives still point to 28 years later. When Bonnie Lee Shults disappeared,
00:00:07
police eventually interviewed her husband Rick, right? And there is this one part of that
00:00:13
interview that has never sat right with them. Investigators say that Bonnie's co-worker Anita was very clear that when
00:00:20
Rick called looking for Bonnie, she never told him where she and Bonnie had been that night. She only said that they
00:00:25
had headed home around 3:00 a.m. That's it. But during Rick's interview, he casually referenced the exact bar that
00:00:33
Bonnie had been at, the Time Out Lounge, and even the specific route home that she would have taken on 62nd Street.
00:00:40
And detectives noticed it immediately. They said that he did too, that you could see it in his body language. And
00:00:46
they say that he had realized that he said too much. So, how did Rick know where Bonnie went and which way she
00:00:52
drove home? I mean, really, there are only two possibilities. Either Anita told him more than she remembers or Rick
00:00:59
already knew because he'd been following her. And here's what makes it even more
00:01:04
unsettling. Bonnie's co-worker, and by the way boyfriend, John, later told police that he had this gut feeling
00:01:10
someone had been watching them that night. Even saw a car pull out behind Bonnie as he drove away.
