A computer programmer is running month end inventory at an empty office park on her day off. At least, she thought it was empty.
The next morning her colleagues reported to work and found the building flooded and signs that a fire had been started around the woman's desk. Further examination would reveal blood at her workspace and the next few days would uncover one ominous clue after another.
Despite a prime suspect emerging, her body has never been found and nobody has ever been charged in her case.

Ann Arbor Michigan, 1994. College junior Renee Welka and a friend are returning home to her apartment complex after a night out. Shortly after parking her car, a man emerges from the shadows and pulls a gun, shooting Renee once in the back through the window. Renee tries to drive away but doesn't make it out of the parking lot, dying from her injuries. Her passenger quickly identifies a man in the crowd as the shooter, but charges don't stick. To this day, her case remains unsolved. In this weeks episode, I not only discuss Renee's tragic case but also the controversial topic of eyewitness misidentifications.

A family of four is camping with their friends at a remote campground in Maine near the Canadian border. On a Sunday morning after a hearty camping breakfast next to the fire, the moms went to the boathouse to wash dirty shoes, the Dads went to get more firewood and the kids played. Amongst them was four-year-old Kurt, who was riding his Big Wheel Tricycle. In about a ten-minute window of time, Kurt went missing. What was known as the most exhaustive search in the history of Maine was conducted, but outside of the abandoned Big Wheel, nothing has ever been found. Did Kurt wander into the dense woods and become disoriented, eventually succumbing to the elements? Or did somebody take him that day?
