Ep. 6: The Lost Colony of Roanoke

For episode 6, Carrie took a journey back through American history to investigate the enigma of the lost colony of Roanoke: the first substantial colony sent from England to populate what would become America, and one of the first great unexplained mysteries of the New World. Why did the colony at Roanoke disappear, and where did they go? Were they wiped out by nearby tribes or illness? Or, did they assimilate into a Native American community, with descendants still present in our country today? Carrie and Sean offer their best theories and marvel at how it seemed no one could really be bothered to check on the colony for years, if not decades.
