On March 31, 2010, 31-year-old Jacob Cabinaw spent the evening playing a casual round of frisbee golf with a friend in Traverse City, Michigan. When the game wrapped up, Jacob’s friend invited him to hang out at a local park, but he declined, saying he had homework to do for his college classes. He dropped the friend off and said he was heading home to his mom’s house, where he lived. But It was the last time anyone in Michigan would see Jacob Cabinaw.

In the coming days, puzzling clues emerged suggesting that instead of driving home, Jacob had driven over 1,200 miles south instead. By the end of that week, Jacob had vanished without a trace, leaving behind a mystifying trail that stretched from Michigan to Texas, and a family who doesn’t believe he would have left them willingly.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Jacob Cabinaw, please contact the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office at 231-995-5002, or submit an anonymous tip through their website.

“Go no farther. There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for.” Those were the words printed on the sign at the entrance of an underwater cave in Vortex Springs, Florida. Despite this plaintive warning and the drawing of the Grim Reaper that accompanied it, many divers of differing skill levels failed to heed these words in search of adventure. On August 18, 2010, 30-year-old Ben McDaniel was seen entering the water in his scuba gear. He was never seen on land again.

What was at first assumed to be a tragic, yet straightforward diving accident came into question as days went by without Ben’s body being found. Did Ben get deeper into the cave than anyone could have imagined? Or did someone remove him from the water before searchers could find him? Some have questioned if Ben was ever in the water at all that night, or if something completely different happened on the ground. The only thing we know for sure is that after a decade, despite an extensive search, no one knows for sure what happened to Ben McDaniel.

Anyone with information on the disappearance of Ben McDaniel is urged to call the Holmes County Sheriff's Office 850-547-3681.

Never get into a car with a stranger. That’s something everyone’s parent has told them at one point or another. But when 11-year-old Trudy Appleby got into a car on the morning of August 21, 1996, she wasn’t with a stranger. Trudy’s family believes that she was with someone she knew. Someone with whom she felt safe. But Trudy wasn’t safe, and she was never seen again after that day. 

Over the years, suspects have been named, and suspects have died. Now, in 2025, 29 years after Trudy was last seen, a grand jury has indicted Jamison Fisher in the murder of Trudy Appleby. Could the answers that Trudy’s loved ones have been fighting for finally be here?

If you have any information on Trudy Appleby’s disappearance, please contact the Moline Police Department at 309-797-0401

This episode was originally released on September 1, 2021. We're re-releasing it this week so you can catch up before listening to our update episode.

When Dennis Appleby came home during his lunch break and didn't see his 11-year-old daughter Trudy, he wasn't initially worried. It was the last days of summer and he assumed she was outside or over at a friend's house enjoying herself. But when he returned from work that evening and there was still no sign of Trudy, he knew something was wrong. Despite witnesses and even Dennis himself saying he knew who was responsible for his daughter's disappearance, Trudy Appleby's case has remained unsolved for the last 25 years. But that could all be changing soon, as police believe they are closer than ever to having the proof they need to put her abductors in prison.

June 1, 1997 was Kristen Modafferi’s 18th birthday. On that day, she flew from her home in North Carolina to California to take a summer photography class at UC Berkeley. Twenty-three days later, she disappeared.  

Police initially believed that she left on her own, but her family knew she would never do that. As the investigation unfolded, plenty of suspects popped up: the four male strangers she was renting a room from; a mysterious blonde woman she was seen talking to the afternoon she disappeared; the violent man who called a news station to say he knew exactly what had happened to her. But despite years of investigations by police and private investigators, the whereabouts of Kristen Modafferi, a brilliant, artistic young woman living her dream summer, remain unknown.

If you have information about the disappearance of Kristen Modafferi, please contact the Oakland Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 510-238-3641.

On July 25, 2015, 21-year-old Diamond Bynum and her 2-year-old nephew, King Walker, vanished from Gary, Indiana. Diamond, who lived with Prader-Willi syndrome—a rare genetic disorder affecting appetite, development, and cognition—had the mental capacity of a young child and required constant supervision. That morning, Diamond and King set out for a walk from the home they shared with family members. They never returned.

Despite immediate searches and community efforts, no confirmed sightings of Diamond or King have ever been reported. Was this a case of two vulnerable people simply wandering too far, or did something far more sinister happen in those missing hours?

If you have any information about the disappearance of Diamond Bynum and King Walker, please contact the Gary Police Department at (219) 881-1214 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.

Eighteen-year-old Brookelyn “Brooke” Farthing had just graduated high school in Berea, Kentucky, and was looking forward to a summer of celebrations and freedom. But in the early hours of June 22, 2013, Brooke found herself in a situation that quickly turned dangerous. After attending a party with friends, Brooke ended up stranded at a house in rural Madison County. Disturbing text messages sent to her ex-boyfriend indicated that she was scared and desperately seeking help. Shortly after, her phone went silent.

Later that morning, the house where she was last seen caught fire under suspicious circumstances. Brooke’s personal belongings were found at the scene—but Brooke herself had vanished without a trace. Over a decade later, her family still searches tirelessly for answers.

If you have information about Brookelyn Farthing’s disappearance, please contact the Kentucky State Police at (859) 623-2404.
