When a 14-year-old’s evening walk ends in tragedy, the town of Armada, Michigan is shaken to its core. In this episode of Dark Dialogue, John and Angela dissect the early investigation that turned a nameless “man on the dirt bike” into a household name—and a prime suspect.

Follow the crucial leads that shaped the case:

• Eyewitness accounts of a helmeted rider who shouldn’t have been on the trail.

• Digital footprints from April’s phone and Sports Tracker app, mapping her final desperate moments.

• Family secrets and fractured loyalty within the VanCallis household that helped dismantle an alibi.

Through testimony, technology, and relentless persistence, investigators painstakingly pieced together a case where DNA and weapons were absent—but the truth spoke through data, memory, and detail.

You’ll hear the emotional weight of a town in turmoil, a family divided by loyalty and truth, and a victim whose story continues to echo far beyond Armada. This is the moment rumor became evidence, technology converged with testimony, and the fight for justice gained its first decisive momentum.
