Down the Path is a narrative true-crime style podcast created and hosted by freelance journalist Will Rice. The show explores unsolved cases, mysteries, and disappearances connected to fly fishing and travel destinations around the world, often weaving together first-hand reporting, recorded interviews, police reports and other archival material.
One of its central stories is “The Disappearance of Stanley Bain,” a multi-part investigation into the 1995 disappearance of Bahamian fly-fishing lodge owner and businessman Stanley Bain and four other men who went missing during an expedition in the remote waters of South Andros Island in the Bahamas. The series looks at what is known about the trip, the unanswered questions, theories about what might have happened, and the impact of the disappearance on Bain’s family and the fly fishing community.
