And Then They Were Gone

When a black, transgender woman went missing from Charlottesville, Virginia in 2012, her family was appalled by the lack of a police investigation, despite having a solid person of interest. In Part 2 of our look at Sage Smith's disappearance, we talk about the investigative timeline, Erik McFadden, the main person of interest, as well as some other possible suspects. Sage Smith has received a fraction of the coverage as white women who went missing from the same area at the same time, but her story deserves to be told. Sage Smith has a family who loves her, and they deserve answers and accountability. Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).

On November 20, 2012, 19-year-old Sage Smith was supposed to meet a man she had been seeing. She told her roommate where she was going and headed down to Charlottesville, Virginia's Main Street, where they were supposed to meet. Sage ran into her step-sister on her way, but was allegedly never seen after that. But the man she was supposed to meet, Erik McFadden, disappeared from the area just days after Sage. While he did give conflicting stories via phone and email, police have never been able to interview him in person. Now, over eight years later, both Sage and Erik have missing person reports filed on them, and a community is wondering why this case is still unsolved. Her family blames the fact that Sage is a black, transgendered woman for the lack of police response and publicity as compared to similar cases of white women in the area. But there are people out there who hold the answers to this case and have the ability to bring Sage home. Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).

February 4, 2003 was the day before Sofia Juarez's 5th birthday. The little girl was excited, as any kid would be. It was around 9 pm, and Sofia's grandmother's boyfriend was going to the convenience store. Sofia's mom gave her a dollar to get a treat, and Sofia left the house. But she never made it to the store, and her family hasn't seen her since. Now, 18 years after the abduction that completely baffled the Kennewick, Washington police department, new leads have emerged that indicate Sofia may be alive and well. Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).

19-year-old Logan Schiendelman went for a drive early one morning. When he returned home, he told his grandmother, Ginnie, that he had an epiphany about his life. Logan had been floundering for the past year, so Ginnie hoped this meant that he was turning a corner. He had been struggling with his mixed-race identity, and his freshman year at Washington State University had not gone as planned. Now, he was back in his hometown of Tumwater, Washington, working odd jobs and trying to figure out what his next move was going to be. Ginnie told Logan that they’d discuss his epiphany when she got home from work that evening. But when she returned home, Logan wasn’t there. Over the next few days, a bizarre mystery unfolded, with an abandoned car, possible sightings, and unidentified men. Logan’s case has baffled the community for the last five years, but there’s one thing his family is certain of: someone out there has answers.Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).

On a warm night in Beaumaris, in Victoria, Australia, the three Worledge children, 8-year-old Eloise, 6-year-old Anna, and 4-year-old Blake all went to sleep. Though their parents had been going through a rocky patch and had been arguing a lot, the day was an ordinary one for the children. But the next morning, only two of them would wake up in their beds. Eloise was gone. What followed was the largest missing person search in Victoria’s history, and a mystery that shocked the seaside town in 1976, changing how families lived forever. Now, nearly 45 years later, Australia and the rest of the world is still searching for answers and asking what happened to Eloise?Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).SOURCES: Girl, 8, abducted from bedroom, police fear - The Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 - 1995) - 14 Jan 1976 19 Jan 1976 - New lead on girl's abduction - Trove No clues on search for Eloise, 8 - The Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 - 1995) - 22 Jan 1976 Clipping from The Age The Age Serial killer Raymond EDMUNDS | AKA Mr. Stinky - Dovale Rapist Raymond Edmunds Disappearance of Eloise Worledge Man committed for trial over old ransom note - The Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 - 1995) - 21 Jan 1995 Still a mystery after 27 years Father of missing Eloise Worledge, 8, dies with 40-year mystery still unsolved Who stole Eloise?

This week, we wrap up the case of missing 38-year-old Ralph Jean-Marie. Ralph went missing in Barre, Vermont on April 13, 2020. Just over one year later, police admit that they're no further along than they were when the investigation began. Now, family members and activists are calling for more accountability from the Barre Police Department, as well as additional investigative measures, including bringing in an outside agency for assistance. We pick up in the summer of 2020, where we find that people related to this case keep getting arrested, but none of this is getting the community any closer to getting #JusticeforRalph. Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).

Late at night on April 13, 2020, 38-year-old Ralph Jean-Marie left his motel room in Barre, Vermont after having an argument with girlfriend. Cooling off after a fight is a normal thing to do, but Ralph never came back. And no one reported him missing until 68 hours later. The next month, George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis and the country was filled with protests for racial justice. Local activists in Vermont started turning a critical eye toward the Barre Police Department’s investigation into Ralph’s disappearance. Was Ralph receiving the justice he deserved, or did police write him off due to the color of his skin?Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources (for a full list, please visit our website).

In this week's episode, we conclude our look into the unexplained disappearance of Cindy Anderson. Several named suspects emerge, and we go over our theories of what happened to the 20-year-old Toledo, Ohio legal secretary back in 1981. Could the answer lie in the pair of serial killers working in the area at the time, or did Cindy's nightmares about someone she trusted hurting her come closer to the truth of what actually happened on that summer day?https://linktr.ee/ATTWGPodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodFor a full list of our sources, along with photo and video, please visit our website: AndThenTheyWereGone.comSources: Cynthia Jane Anderson – The Charley Project Cynthia Anderson Secretary Disappears Leaving Only Cryptic Clues Behind | True Crime The Case of Cynthia Anderson, did she just walk away or was something more sinister going on? : UnresolvedMysteries Any Thoughts On Cindy Anderson?

Cindy Anderson had been plagued by nightmares. Night after night, she would dream that someone would knock on her door, and then abduct and murder her. It didn't help that in the summer of 1981, people in Toledo, Ohio were turning up dead-- including some who worked in the same shopping center she did. But the 20-year-old legal secretary was getting ready to put all of this behind her. She had put in her two-week notice at her job and was getting ready to head off to Bible College. But she would never make it there. Now, nearly 40 years after her disappearance, people are still wondering if Cindy's dreams foretold her fate. Support us on Patreon and get part 2 of this episode right now!

No one in Kristine Kupka’s life was a fan of her ex-boyfriend, Rudy Persaud. But on October 24, 1998, when she told her roommate she was going to meet up with him so he could show her his new apartment, she understood why Kristine was trying to maintain a friendly relationship— Kristine was five months pregnant with their child. But what was supposed to be a pleasant afternoon followed by brunch turned into a 20+ year nightmare for the Kupka family, because Kristine never returned home. And despite a contentious relationship and the fact that he was the last person seen with Kristine, Rudy Persaud has only given a single interview to police since 1998, and Kristine’s case remains unsolved.For a full list of our sources, along with photos and videos, please visit our website, AndThenTheyWereGone.com.Support us on Patreon: Patreon.com/attwgpodSources: The Vanishing - Nymag Gil Alba The Doe Network Kristine Kupka – The Charley Project Kristine's Story Missing/Murdered: The Search Continues for Brooklyn's Kristine Kupka Disappearance/murder of Kristine Kupka : UnresolvedMysteries A break in Kristine Kupka case is a ray of hope for sister of missing college student Where is Kristine Kupka? - Home Tampa dentist a suspect in 12-year-old cold case Take Action! — (via Find Missing Kristine Kupka!
