A head injury. A brand-new automobile. A trail that suddenly goes cold.

In March 1928, 37-year-old Mabel farmer Harry Goelberg set out to buy a new car in La Crosse. Along the way, he was involved in two automobile accidents, traveled more than 150 unexplained miles, and was last seen walking along a road between Lewiston and Stockton.

Then… he vanished.

For weeks, family, friends, law enforcement, and newspapers searched for answers. Some believed a blow to the head had left Harry confused and wandering. Others struggled to explain his strange behavior in the days leading up to his disappearance—including an unusual confrontation over a slot machine in downtown Mabel.

What really happened during Harry Goelberg’s final days? And why did one of Fillmore County’s most puzzling missing person cases end not with answers, but with even more questions?

Join Preston and Lenora as they retrace Harry’s final journey through Mabel, La Crosse, Winona, and Lake Pepin in search of the truth behind a mystery that has endured for nearly a century.
