And Then They Were Gone

Yong Meadows was terrified. She had lost her 3-year-old daughter, Lucy, in a mall parking lot. She ran around calling her name and asking every person she came across if they had seen her daughter. No one had– not even the security cameras. Lucy’s case was treated as a stranger abduction, but with no physical evidence, the police had very little to go on.

But as time went on and Yong’s story shifted, and new witnesses came forward, people stopped asking "what happened to Lucy Meadows," and started asking, "what really happened to Lucy Meadows?"

Anyone with information on Lucy Meadows disappearance is asked to call the Goodlettsville Police Department at 615-859-3405.

Lucy Meadows 실종에 대한 정보가 있는 사람은 Goodlettsville 경찰서 615-859-3405로 전화해 주십시오.

In the summer of 1996, parents around Clarksville, Tennessee were terrified. Three young girls had been abducted from the area within a month. While two of their bodies would eventually be found, the third, a 3-year-old named Lucy Meadows was never seen after July 25, 1996.
Was Lucy abducted by a stranger as her mother claimed, or was Lucy harmed by someone close to her? It’s been over 25 years, and police still haven’t been able to answer the question, “what happened to Lucy Meadows?”

But now, 16 years later, her parents, who have been searching for her relentlessly, believe they’re closer than ever to getting answers.

Everything was going Kierra Coles’s way. She had a good-paying job with the United States Postal Service, she had just bought a car, and she had gotten her own apartment that she was sharing with her boyfriend. They had even decided to start a family. In October of 2018, Kierra was three months pregnant and loving life. But one day, Kierra disappeared. What followed was an investigation that offered up more questions than answers, including a last sighting that may not have been the last time she was seen at all. Kierra’s family is still searching for their daughter and her unborn child, and we're hoping that you can help get them justice.

Anyone who has any information on Kierra Coles’s disappearance, please call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 877-876-2455 and provide a case identification number, 2693502-WPV. Or, call the Chicago Police Special Victims Unit at 312-747-8274.

We have huge news in the Akia Eggleston case. Akia was a 22-year-old pregnant woman who went missing from Baltimore, Maryland on May 3, 2017. While there was a clear suspect, no arrests were made, and her case went cold. Akia's story started gaining more notoriety toward the end of 2021, and on February 3, 2022, Michael Robertson was arrested for the murders of Akia and her unborn child.

In this episode, we break down this news, go over the probable cause affidavit, and talk about theories. This is followed by a re-release of our original episode on Akia's case from September of 2021.

Mary Johnson hadn’t been acting like herself for months. She and her husband were having marital problems, and she was thinking about next steps. The 39-year-old was staying with friends, only returning home to shower and pick up more clothes. On Friday, November 25, 2020, Mary started walking toward a church in Tulalip, Washington. She never arrived. It would be nearly two weeks before she was reported missing, at which point Mary Johnson became part of America’s growing problem of missing and murdered indigenous women.

Anyone who has any information on Mary Johnson’s disappearance, please call the FBI's Seattle Field Office at (206) 622-0460. You may also submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

On a spring day in 1987, a 15-year-old girl has an argument with her father and takes off on foot, never to be seen again. Police in the small Pennsylvania town of Blairsville immediately wrote her off as a runaway, but her mother didn’t believe that explanation for a second. Now, over 34 years after her disappearance, Alicia Markovich’s best friends are leading the charge to find answers in her case. They haven’t forgotten their friend, and they want to make sure that everyone knows her name.

Anyone who has any information on Alicia Markovich’s disappearance is urged to call the Pennsylvania State Police, at 724-832-3288.

In 2015, 19-year-old Katelin Akens was getting ready to start a new life. The teenager fell in love, and left her small Virginia town to move across the country to Arizona with her fiancee. She was living her life and making changes, but when her sister gave birth to a son that December, Katelin immediately flew home to meet her new nephew. The trip was a short one, only about four days. She had a plane ticket back to Arizona on December 5, but she never made it to the airport. Six years later, Katelin still hasn’t been found, but her family believes they know exactly who knows the full story.

If you have any information on Katelin Akens’s whereabouts, please contact the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office at 540-582-7115.

This week, we’re doing a special feed drop of our DarkCast Network friends, Over the Fence. On January 30, 1989 Ilene Misheloff went missing while walking home from middle school in Dublin, CA. It wasn't until her mom arrived to pick her up from ice skating practice later that evening when they figured out she was missing. She was third in a spree of kidnapping cases that, at the time, were thought to be connected, but as time has gone on, it appears were unrelated. Although the clues and facts are very limited in this cold case, we go over the events of the day that Ilene went missing and some past and present people of interest in the case.Be sure to check out Reverie True Crime wherever you get your podcasts!Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.
