Kiera Bergman is 19 years old,

Kiera is biracial, she is 5’3” tall, she weighs about 145 lbs, she had black hair and brown eyes, and in most of her pictures, she is wearing glasses. We don’t know if she had them on when she went missing.

Episode 34

Disappeared

Michele Lyn Hundley Smith

and

Angela Whalen Hudson

Late 2001 ended in turmoil, sadness, and confusion for two families in the Rockingham County, NC area.

That year saw the separate disappearances of their loved ones, both mothers and both still desperately missed to this day.

Their disappearances were never investigated with any sort of effort on the part of the only agency responsible for doing so.

What happened to Michele Lynn Hundley Smith and Angela Whalen Hudson?

Why didn’t the authorities ever try to find out what happened to them?

Is this the best the good people of Rockingham County can expect from their public servants at the Sheriff’s Office?

If you are interested in following these cases and supporting the efforts to find these ladies, visit their advocacy pages and NAMUS.

UPDATE: FEB 2026 - MICHELE LYN HUNDLEY SMITH HAS BEEN FOUND.!

Episode 33

The Search

for the

Kansas College Rapist

One person is responsible for at least 15 attacks which resulted in over a dozen brutal rapes since 2000 in two Kansas college towns.

After almost ten years, police decided the rapist must have "moved on" or gotten sick but they were wrong. The assailant turned up again in 2015, just as desperate to attack but now he knows the police have his DNA, so what's a rapist to do in this day and age with tools like the MVAC and high definition real-time surveillance cameras?

Apparently, for the time being, his pattern is changing. Is he cognizant of the high probability that it's only a matter of time before police come knocking, just as they did for other violent pervs who never thought they'd get caught? 

Police are not relying on forensics.

They have created a website to appeal to the community, on which they have placed an entire timeline of the events and even an offender profile.

We hope they don't stop there.

If you have information to share with authorities about this fool, please visit their website http://www.kansascollegerapist.com/ or call Manhattan Riley County Crime Stoppers at 785-539-7777 or toll free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

If you have been a victim of sexual violence in any way, and need support, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800 656-4673.

Did you know that Kansas and many other states have a backlog of untested rape kits? Sure you did! If you want to learn how you can help end the backlog, visit http://www.endthebacklog.org/

Remember during the episode Christi promised to provide a link for you to check to see if YOUR state has ended the statute of limitations on sex crimes? Well, here it is. Let us know what progress your state has made!  https://www.rainn.org/state-state-guide-statutes-limitations

Episode 32

The Disappearance

of

Fisheries Observer

Keith Davis

Keith Davis was an observer, a biologist who took on the duty of observing fisheries around the world to report on compliance, safety, and more. It is a dangerous job, not only because work at sea is inherently treacherous, but also because observers are often considered a threat to the livelihood of many crew and captains.

Despite his professional demeanor and long history of working well with crews on these vessels, something went terribly wrong on a voyage off the coast of Peru in 2015. Keith Davis disappeared. No formal investigation has ever produced answers, so an effort is being made to undertake a private investigation, with possible political implications.

The international fisheries business is behind major environmental threats but still, illegal fishing continues unchecked, endangering not only our ecosystem, but the socioeconomic stability of entire continents, not to mention the daily safety concerns to workers involved in this industry.

If you are interested in this subject, please continue reading by clicking on or following the links below, donating to the investigation campaign, and also, reading the book Keith helped to create before he disappeared so horrifically.

Support Keith's dad and loved ones in searching for justice by donating to their campaign to raise money for their worldwide investigation. We can only imagine how costly that must be:

The MURDER of Grace Hayden

The CAPTURE of Kevin Ford

and the

Robeson County Connection

This is the story of the brutal rape and murder of an elderly woman in California, and the capture of her accused killer in the notorious Robeson County, NC.

This killer escaped justice for over 30 years, but his terrible social skills got him a quick trip to the Sherrif's Office where his downfall began.

Could Kevin Thomas Ford be responsible for any of the unsolved murders currently sitting in cold storage in Lumberton and the greater Robeson County region? Can we rely on the authorities to find out?

Episode 29

The Many Faces

of

Child Predator

Joel Davis

This episode contains graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse which may be disturbing for some listeners.

Please use discretion in deciding whether or not to listen.

In late June of 2018, a 22 year old man was arrested and charged with federal crimes involving the sexual abuse of children and child pornography. He was just like any other perve looking for an opportunity to rape children, only this man isn't your average sex offender. He's a human rights activist who fooled people all over the world into believing he actually cared about saving children from sexual abuse. The ultimate hypocrite. That's not all. 

Joel Davis has spent years playing different roles, and these personalities emerged in full fledge depending on the expected results. Joel Davis the victim. Joel Davis the college drop-out. Joel Davis the ivy league human rights hero. Joel Davis the star. Joel Davis the producer and  purveyor of child porn. Joel Davis the rapist of babies, children, and young teens.

And now, Joel Davis the soon-to-be prison inmate.
