The Disappearances of Felipe Santos and Terrance Williams
This is not a single case, but a pair of missing persons cases linked by one crucial factor–one crucial person, to be specific. Two young men vanished three months apart in Naples, Florida while in the company of the same Sheriff’s Department deputy. The first man was 23 year old Felipe Santos, who disappeared in…

The Vanishing of David Lovely
The land outside of Rock Springs, Wyoming is a stark and uncompromising place. It’s a fractured terrain riddled with cliffs and deep ravines, an easy and dangerous place for someone to get lost. During the day, the desert bakes in the heat of the sun, but as soon as the sun slips behind the western…

The Murder of Lila Leach
There’s really no skirting around the regrettable lack of information about this case. I won’t be able to explore it from as many angles as I have with some of the other cases I have covered, simply because there is very little background available to me. However, I think this is a story that needs…

The Disappearance of Alexis Patterson
On May 3rd, 2002, a seven year old girl named Alexis Patterson disappeared into thin air between the street corner outside her school and her classroom. Except, of course, she didn’t, because no one does. Something happened to make her vanish, and the purpose of this article is examine what that might have been. Alexis…

The Murder of Ashley Ouellette and the Vanishing of Antonio Torres
There are two ways of looking at the case(s) I am here to discuss today. One is as a discussion of two mysteries, one an unsolved murder and the other a missing persons case. The other possibility is that this is actually one case that has claimed at least two victims. My purpose here is…

The Murder of Kayo Matsuzawa
Last month, I was all set and ready to go with different case write-up, one about the 2007 murder of Brittany McGlone. I was only a few edits away from posting it when I learned that there had been an arrest in the case. I do not want to give the impression that this means…

The Double Disappearance of Diamond Bynum and King Walker
One thing that will be a bit different about this case is there is a distinct possibility that no actual crime was committed. Two vulnerable people left their home, likely of their own accord, in an unfamiliar neighborhood, out into a small city full of abandoned buildings. It’s entirely within the realm of possibility that…

The Murder of Bill and Peggy Stephenson
This is yet another case that’s been on my back burner for several months. To say it’s an odd one would be a gross understatement on multiple levels. Not only did the victims, an elderly, churchgoing couple, seem to be unlikely targets for a double homicide, but the known details of that homicide make it…

The Vanishing of Jackie Markham
I have been wanting to write about this case for over a year. At least, that’s what I assume, since I have a file containing notes I took on the Disappeared episode that date back to March of last year. So, no time like the present. The case concerns the suspicious missing person case of…

The Murder of Richard Clements
Today I am going to be writing about an elderly man who was murdered in his Toronto apartment early in the winter of 2008. This is a somewhat neglected case, one that I feel could benefit from more attention. According to those that knew him, the victim was a kind and generous man, and being…
