Carter Roy：本期节目探讨了著名乐队指挥Glenn Miller的离奇失踪事件，其知名度之高如同今天的Taylor Swift。节目中，历史学家Dennis Spragg详细讲述了Miller的生平、事业以及失踪前后的一些关键事件。
Dennis Spragg：Glenn Miller在二战期间加入美国空军，组建了空军乐队，为战争努力并提升士气。后应艾森豪威尔的请求，Miller的乐队被派往英国，并计划前往巴黎演出。然而，Miller却在前往巴黎途中神秘失踪。
节目中，Carter Roy和Dennis Spragg共同梳理了各种关于Miller失踪的阴谋论，包括纳粹宣传、间谍活动、被美国暗杀等。但Dennis Spragg通过多年研究，最终认为最可能的解释是：Miller搭乘的C-64 Norseman飞机由于飞行员经验不足、恶劣天气和飞机机械故障坠毁，导致Miller和机上其他人员遇难。这一结论也得到了解密的官方调查报告的支持。
Dennis Spragg：多年来，关于Glenn Miller失踪的各种阴谋论甚嚣尘上，例如他卷入黑市交易、充当间谍甚至被暗杀等。然而，经过我多年的研究和调查，包括查阅解密的官方报告，我发现最合理的解释是飞机失事。C-64 Norseman飞机以其机械故障而闻名，飞行员经验不足，加上当时恶劣的天气条件，极有可能导致了这起悲剧。尽管真相可能不如传奇故事那样引人入胜，但我们应该尊重历史事实。
Carter Roy：Dennis的研究成果不仅解开了Miller失踪的谜团，也平息了多年来围绕Miller家属的各种猜测和阴谋论。尽管如此，关于Miller失踪的传奇故事依然流传，这体现了人们对真相和传奇故事的不同偏好。
