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?

Austin Texas, 1983. A close-knit family is experiencing a wave of terror and domestic violence connected to a recent break-up. By the time everything played out, there would be burglary, threats, stalking, arson, false allegations to a workplace, attempted shootings, assault, and eventually there would be murder. So much of this heartbreaking situation has been left unresolved, with everything leading back to one violent woman who couldn’t handle her relationship ending. In the end, two family members would end up dead. One confirmed dead and one presumed dead – because the woman I’m about to tell you about today, has never been found. This story paints a chilling tale of the reach of domestic violence and it may challenge your preconceived notions of who can be the perpetrator of it.

A young family living off the grid in a rugged part of Northern California in late 1977. The mother and her two toddlers set out to do a host of errands never to return. Nobody in the city of Eureka saw the family complete their errands, but when the vehicle is later found, there's evidence that they did. The mystery of this finding causes rumors to swirl in the tiny community. Did the family get lost and succumb to the elements? Was the mother and her two children fleeing from troubles at home and looking to start a new life? Or were they the victims of foul play.

Just three days after Christmas of 1964, in the quiet town of Garfield Heights, Ohio a sixteen-year-old girl was getting ready to meet up with friends. When her friend shows up at their agreed upon time, she does not answer the door. Later that afternoon, the teen's father would come home to a horrific discovery – his oldest daughter dead on her bedroom floor, the victim of a vicious homicide. As detectives dig into her life, they find out from those closest to her that she had recently become a stalking victim – something that they didn’t even really have a word for back then. This stalker has never been identified, nor has her killer, leaving the possibility that they weren’t one in the same. Beverly and the women in her family had prophetic moments around the time of her death about her death, adding a haunting element to the tragic mystery. But believe it or not, even though the release of this episode is the week of the 60th anniversary of her disappearance, cold case detectives are still working with carefully preserved evidence, and their case is expanding. May this be the year that Beverly’s case is finally solved.

On a hot summer night, a toddler is spending time with her grandmother and other neighbors on the breezeway of her high-rise apartment complex in Chicago. She is left alone in the busy hallway for just minutes, but in that time she disappears. Nearly fifty people were present at the time she was abducted, but nobody claims to have seen anything. Her mother has gone on to be a champion for not only her daughter, but other missing kids. Her hope is that her toddler was raised by another family who wanted a little girl, and that all of these years later they will find their way back to each other.

A woman training for a marathon leaves her house early on a Saturday morning to jog a country road on the outskirts of Oklahoma City. An hour into her run, she is brutally attacked and left for dead. She managed to get to the roadside and eventually a car stopped to help. Her last words were describing her attacker: white guy, blue car. Her case went to the backburner for decades after police concluded that the man who murdered her was in jail for a sexual assault committed the year after her murder. But when a huge scandal shines a spotlight on misconduct in Oklahoma City, it makes investigators question everything they knew about the case.
