Bianca Carrasco
29-year-old mother of three, Bianca Carrasco, was making some changes in her life. Having recently graduated nursing school, she had a new job in San Antonio, five hours away from her hometown of Odessa, Texas. While the Carrasco family was starting their new life in a new town, Bianca was beginning to question whether or not this was the exact life she wanted. Her career was blossoming, while her marriage was crumbling. Then, on May 1, 2016, Bianca Carrasco disappeared into the night. Did the young mother decide to spread her wings somewhere else, or was she the victim of a man who didn’t want to let go?

Heather Teague: Part 2
This is the conclusion to our two-part story on Heather Teague, who went missing from Newburgh Beach in Kentucky on August 26, 1995. In this episode, we discuss questions surrounding the actual identity of her abductor. Was Marty Dill actually as good of a physical match as he seemed? We also delve into the other person in the trailer with Marty Dill, his uncle, former police officer Ernest Green. Was Heather’s disappearance a random abduction, or was she caught up in Henderson’s seedy, corrupt underbelly? 25 years after she disappeared, there are still questions that need to be answered: namely, what is going on in the small town of Henderson, Kentucky?

Heather Teague: Part 1
On August 26, 1995, 23-year-old Heather Teague was sunbathing on Newburgh Beach in Henderson County, Kentucky. She was enjoying her Saturday afternoon when all of a sudden a man in cut-off jeans and no shirt appeared and grabbed her by the hair, dragging her backwards into the woods. The only witness to the abduction? A man across the river watching through the lens of a telescope. This may sound like the beginning of a horror movie, but unfortunately, it was the very real beginning to a case that has led to more questions than answers over the past 25 years. With drugs, prostitution, and government corruption, this story needs to be told in two episodes. This is part one. Part two will be available next week.

Zachary Bernhardt
Zachary Bernhardt was a sweet, smart eight-year-old boy living with his mother, Leah Hackett in Clearwater, Florida. Though they didn’t have the most stable life, Leah was known to be a loving mother, and the pair was close. But on September 11, 2000, Leah couldn’t sleep so she took a 4 am walk around her apartment complex. Despite saying she was only gone for 15 minutes, when she returned, her son was missing from his bed. 20 years later, suspicions swirl around her, but Zachary’s family is no closer to answers than they were two decades ago.

Ashley Summers
14-year-old Ashley Summers was getting interested in boys, rebelling, and just trying to find herself in the summer of 2007. The Cleveland, Ohio native came from a large, supportive family with whom she was close. But after attending a pool party at an uncle’s house and saying she was going to her aunt’s house nearby, Ashley disappeared. The 13 years that followed have brought up more questions than answers. Was she actually seen after her disappearance? Could she be linked to other high-profile Cleveland kidnappings? Or was a member of her close-knit family hiding something more insidious?

Angela Hammond
Imagine that you’re on the phone with your pregnant fianceé, just chatting about normal stuff— and then you hear a horrified scream. That’s what happened to Rob Shafer on April 4, 1991 when an unidentified man kidnapped his fianceé, Angela Hammond, from a payphone in Clinton, Missouri. The brazen abduction shocked the small town, while many wondered if Angela’s case was related to two other recent abductions, or if her fiance was hiding the real truth about what happened that night. Now, nearly 30 years later, police are still investigating her case, but will they find answers?

But when Danica failed to show up to go Christmas shopping with her sisters in 2007, her mother knew something was wrong.

Kyron Horman
Ten years ago, 7-year-old Kyron Horman and his step-mother Terri Horman, attended a science fair at his Portland, Oregon elementary school. A photo Terri took shows Kyron beaming in front of his project about tree frogs. That would be the last photo ever taken of Kyron , who never made it to class that morning and hasn’t been seen since. In the intervening years, there have been accusations, arrests, and even a bizarre potential murder-for-hire plot, but no answers in Kyron’s disappearance; just a family who refuses to stop searching.

Daniel Yuen
When 16-year-old Edison, New Jersey teenager Daniel Yuen started staying out all night and stopped going to school, his parents tried everything to help him. When a series of medical doctors and therapists didn’t help with his depression or behavior issues, the parents turned to The CEDU School in Running Springs, California. Recommended by one of Daniel’s therapists, the exclusive therapeutic boarding school boasted huge promises, famous alums like Paris Hilton— and a hefty price tag: Nearly $6,000 per month. But far from being the Yuen family’s saving grace, they were introduced to The CEDU School’s dark underbelly when shortly after his arrival in 2004, their son became the third student to disappear without a trace from the campus.

Elijah “Bear” Diaz
On August 29, 2015, Bear Diaz texted his mother goodnight and was never seen again. The 20-year-old man from El Cajon, California was a Type-1 diabetic and left with money and enough insulin for about a week. Family and friends hoped he was just taking some time away, but when he missed his tribe's annual pow-wow, his mother knew something was terribly wrong. Could Bear's disappearance be linked to the circle of friends and acquaintances that were constantly at his house, or could something even darker be at play? Could another disappearance be linked to Bear's?
