Missing In Munising - The Dark Side

The third episode of 'Missing in Munising: The Dark Side' dives into the chilling silence surrounding Steve Goings, the husband of missing Starla Goings, after she filed for divorce in July 2023. Host Mike McGuire confronts the growing pattern of evasion—Steve has cut off all contact with his children, Nick and Stephanie, and refuses to speak with investigators despite repeated attempts. A key revelation comes from Nick, who recounts a disturbing Monday text exchange where Steve appeared to be desperately gathering intel about Starla’s whereabouts, describing it as 'word vomit'—a sign of anxiety, not grief. The episode also explores the psychological profile of a control freak, suggesting Steve’s behavior aligns with extreme need for dominance and predictability, especially during a high-stress divorce. A former friend of Steve’s confirms he said the divorce would 'get messy'—a cryptic warning that now feels ominous. Meanwhile, a female family member claims to have overheard Starla discussing a 'boyfriend,' implying infidelity, but the hosts challenge this narrative: if the conversation was so private, why was it overheard? And if Starla was already in the process of leaving, why would that justify abandoning her family? The episode builds toward a critical ground search on May 9, 2026, urging the public to attend and help uncover the truth—because silence, in this case, is not just absence, but a weapon.
