Episode 1: Send Recovery
On September 9th, 2023, at 9:45 PM, a 911 call was made.
A witness reported a white sedan sitting on River Road in the Sacramento Delta.
Moments later, that same car began to move—rolling slowly from a stop, turning down an embankment, and disappearing into the Sacramento River.
Emergency response was called.
But what happened next, doesn’t make sense.
Within hours, the call was downgraded.
Medical was cancelled.
No confirmed search took place the following day.
Two days later, a dive team finally located the vehicle.
Four days later, Jeff Anderson was pulled from the bottom of the river—just 500 feet from where the car entered the water.
His car was:
-upside down
- in park.
Keys in his pocket.
His body in the back seat.
His phone was never recovered.
And in the months after his death—someone attempted to access his accounts.
Authorities ruled it an accident.
We disagree.
In this first chapter of Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River, we walk you through the night Jeff Anderson lost his life—using dispatch calls, witness statements, and official reports—to uncover one question:
What happened to Jeff Anderson?
Hosts Jen Rivera & Jules Thorp
Produced in cooperation with Jeff Anderson's family.

26 MAR 2026 · Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River
The first episode drops March 30th!
Each new episode will drop the following Monday.
We're seeking the answer to the question, "What happened to Jeff Anderson?"
Jeff Anderson was just 40 years old when his car rolled into the Sacramento River the evening of September 9th, 2023. Despite 911 calls from eye witnesses confirming the entry point of Jeff's car into the river, rescue attempts were not conducted until September 13th- 4 days later.
Upon retrieval, law enforcement removed Jeff's car key from his front pocket of his pants. His car transmission was in "park."
Inconsistencies in stories about Jeff's last hours have raised more questions than answers:
Was Jeff assaulted?
Was Jeff helped to his car from a bar and taken water?
Was Jeff roofied?
Was Jeff in emotional distress?
We have witness statements submitted to law enforcement saying they were told by eye witnesses that there were two cars that evening, not one.
When the car eye witnesses were
followed up by law enforcement, this claim was denied ever being said. Why?
We'll share dispatch calls.
We'll share incident reports.
We'll share toxicology reports.
Was this a horrific accident, or was this case closed without a proper investigation?
Why did the PI hired by the family take years to get the report back to family?
Why was Jeff's car parked only to allegedly roll from a stop across a flat grade road, make a 90 degree turn, and then go into the water?
Why has Jeff's phone had multiple hacking attempts?
Why wasn't Jeff's case looking into as a suspected homicide?
The stories the family were told by law enforcement alone will outrage you.
We'll be covering the witness reports, police reports, autopsy report, interviews, written statements, and our documented attempts to communicate with Sheriff Cooper and the District Attorney.
March 30th-
Time to ask seek the answers to questions law enforcement should have asked before closing Jeff's case.

Today we continue to fight for justice for the Wix girls.
They deserved a life full of love, laughter, adventures, family, and choices.
All that was stolen from them.
22 years is a lifetime and yet a blink.
Justice is coming.

*EDIT
Correction:
The gun which Daniel accidentally shot in the house did not go through the wall to Bethany's bedroom, it was through the wall to the outside of the house, but passed by Bethany who was sitting outside the bedroom in a chair.

7 JAN 2026 · Chapter 6: Jonnie Carter
In this episode we tell Jonnie's story...
Jonnie’s story has never been publicly told. When we talked about the purpose of this podcast and how we approach our Missing in Hush Town series - we told Jonnie that we aim to tell the story as honestly and holistically as we can. We wanted the listeners to not just hear about Bethany, but to also know Jonnie. Fighting for Bethany has become Jonnie’s mission - her legacy, but when Jonnie was a young girl, nobody appeared to be fighting…for her.
