And Then They Were Gone

On February 3, 1983, a young mother was brutally attacked by a stranger in her own home. Her three young sons were asleep in their beds, but her middle child, Mitchell, heard noises and came in to check on his mother. Ora Owens screamed at Mitchell to run away, and then everything went black. Ora awoke two days later in the hospital, only to find out that Mitchell was gone. Despite what was clearly a forcible abduction, and despite the fact that Mitchell was only four years old, Ora claims that Menlo Park Police delayed beginning an investigation into Mitchell’s disappearance, and initially classified him as a runaway. Nearly 40 years later, Ora is still trying to get justice for her son.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Mitchell Owens, please contact the Menlo Park Police Department at 650-330-6300.  Tips can also be called into the Department of Public Safety at 617-754-3208 or 3209.

Si tiene alguna información sobre la desaparición de Mitchell Owens, comuníquese con el Departamento de Policía de Menlo Park al 650-330-6300. También se pueden llamar al Departamento de Seguridad Pública al 617-754-3208 o al 3209.

On August 21, 2009, a young mother wanted a night out. 21-year-old Rose Marie Bly had two children under the age of two. Rose stayed home with the kids while her husband, whom she had just married in February of that year, worked. Rose told her husband that she was going to go visit her cousin who lived close to their St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin home. But Rose never made it. Her case received a fair amount of local attention, but not a lot of clues, so it eventually faded from the public consciousness. That is, until 12 years later when her family was facing another tragedy: the disappearance of her niece, Summer Wells.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Rose Bly, please contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 715-485-8300.

On June 15, 2021, five-year-old Summer Wells was enjoying a beautiful day with her family. The little girl was helping her mother and grandmother plant flowers at their rural Rogersville, Tennessee home. But, like most little kids, she eventually grew tired of this activity and wanted to go back into the house and play with her toys. Her mom walked her back into the house, where her three older brothers were. Summer’s mother went back outside for just a few minutes, but when she returned home, her daughter was gone. What follows is a baffling case filled with accusations, conspiracy theories, and arrests, but no sign of Summer.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Summer Wells, please contact the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office at 423-272-7121.

Alexis Patterson walked to school on May 3, 2002, but she never made it into the building. Her school didn’t notify her parents of the seven-year-old’s absence, so no one knew she was missing until school let out that afternoon. Her frantic parents, Ayanna and LaRon Bourgeois called Milwaukee Police, and a search began. But despite being only seven years old, Alexis was treated as a runaway. It would be over a week before police publicly said that they suspected foul play in her disappearance.

As the days turned into months, which turned into years, the hope of finding Alexis alive diminished for many– but not her mother. She believes that her daughter is out there somewhere. And in 2016, it seemed she was proven right, when an Ohio man came to her and said that he knew Alexis. In fact, he had been married to her.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Alexis Patterson, please call the Milwaukee Police Department at 414-935-7401. You can also contact the Milwaukee Field Office of the FBI at 414-276-4684 or the Milwaukee Police Department Cold Case Hotline at 414-935-1212.

Si tiene alguna información sobre la desaparición de Alexis Patterson, llame al Departamento de Policía de Milwaukee al 414-935-7401. También puede comunicarse con la oficina local del FBI en Milwaukee al 414-276-4684 o con la línea directa de casos sin resolver del Departamento de Policía de Milwaukee al 414-935-1212.

You may know her as “the other missing girl.” On May 3, 2002, seven-year-old Alexis Patterson walked the half a block to Hi-Mount Elementary School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, accompanied by her step-father, LaRon Bourgeois. LaRon left Alexis at the crosswalk, as the crossing guard accompanied her across the street to school. But when the final bell rang that afternoon, Alexis Patterson wasn’t among the children to rush out of school and head home. She was never seen again. While the little girl’s disappearance was big news in Milwaukee, the news was soon overshadowed by that of another missing girl: Elizabeth Smart. Elizabeth was found nine months after her abduction, but Alexis remains missing 20 years later.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Alexis Patterson, please call the Milwaukee Police Department at 414-935-7401. You can also contact the Milwaukee Field Office of the FBI at 414-276-4684 or the Milwaukee Police Department Cold Case Hotline at 414-935-1212.

In 2019, 29-year-old Irene Gakwa made a big move: she flew from her home in Kenya to the United States to start a new life. Irene had always loved helping people, and she was going to turn that love into a career by studying nursing. Fortunately, Irene already had a support system in the states: her two brothers, Chris and Kennedy lived in Boise, Idaho, and she was going to join them. Everything was going according to plan, and Irene even fell in love. But her family alleges that her boyfriend was no Prince Charming. They say that he was controlling and worked to isolate Irene from her family.

On February 24, 2022, Irene had a video call with her parents. She hasn’t been seen since. Did she, as her boyfriend claims, decide to pack up and move once again, or has something much worse happened to Irene?

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Irene Gakwa, or if you've seen a grey or silver Subaru Crosstrek with Idaho license plates that may have been seen trespassing on private property or in rural parts of Campbell County between February 24 and March 20, please contact the Gillette Police Department at 307-682-5155.

Iwapo una habari yoyote kuhusu kutoweka kwa Irene Gakwa, au ikiwa umeona Subaru Crosstrek ya kijivu au ya fedha yenye nambari za leseni za Idaho ambayo inaweza kuwa ilionekana ikiingilia mali ya kibinafsi au katika maeneo ya mashambani ya Kaunti ya Campbell kati ya Februari 24 na Machi 20. , tafadhali wasiliana na Idara ya Polisi ya Gillette kwa 307-682-5155.

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day in 2019, and Leah Croucher is walking to work as usual. But the 19-year-old Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England resident never makes it to the office. At first, it looks as though it may be a stranger abduction, but as police investigate, they find that Leah had been displaying out of character behavior in the days and weeks leading up to her disappearance. Could Leah’s secrets have led to her disappearance? Three years after she was last seen, her family, investigators, and internet sleuths are all trying to figure out if Leah walked away on her own, or if she was betrayed by someone close to her.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Leah Croucher, please call 101 and ask for Thames Valley Police, quoting reference 43190049929. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their online anonymous form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Seven-year-old Brittany Williams was last seen at a doctor’s appointment in Richmond, Virginia on August 18, 2000. The woman who had legal guardianship over her, Kim Parker, ran a foster home for children with special needs or were otherwise medically fragile. When asked where Brittany was, she said that she had given Brittany away to two women who were former volunteers at her home and now lived in California. But she didn’t have a forwarding address; she didn’t have a phone number– and nobody, including these two women, had seen Brittany. It took police nearly three years to get involved in the case of the missing little girl. It took nearly another 20 years before a woman came forward claiming that she was Brittany Williams, and she was alive.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Brittany Williams, please contact Henrico Police at 804-501-5000. Anonymous tips are welcomed through Crime Stoppers 804-780-1000 or P3tips.com.

A little girl in Richmond, Virginia is placed into foster care. Everything seems to be going okay for a while, but eventually she stops showing up for school. Then it’s missed doctor’s appointments, followed by a missed paternity test. Then, it’s over two years since anyone has seen her. There have been several similar cases in the news lately: Oakley Carlson, whom we’ve covered here, as well as Harmony Montgomery. But this case goes even further back. Brittany Williams was a seven-year-old girl who was eventually reported missing back in 2003. But she hadn’t been seen by anyone in public since August 18, 2000. While investigators thought that Brittany had likely died, everything changed in 2021 when a woman came forward saying that she had a DNA test that proved she was Brittany Williams.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Brittany Williams, please contact Henrico Police at 804-501-5000. Anonymous tips are welcomed through Crime Stoppers 804-780-1000 or P3tips.com.
