August 14, 2025Cold and Missing: Ke’Shaun Vanderhorst
In September of 1995, two-year-old Ke’Shaun Vanderhorst vanished from his home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A shy, gentle toddler who rarely left his mother’s side,. When his family began asking questions, his mother, Tina Vanderhorst, gave a series of conflicting stories—first saying the Department of Human Services took him, then claiming she had given him to a stranger, and finally admitting she sold him for drug money. Despite police searches, public appeals, and even a composite sketch of the woman Tina described, no trace of Ke’Shaun has ever been found. Almost 30 years later, his family still hopes he is alive.
*** If you know anything about the disappearance of Ke’Shaun Vanderhorst in Sept of 1995 - or his whereabouts today - please call the Philadelphia police at 215-686-3014 ***

In this episode of Cold and Missing, we’re telling the story of 15-year-old Yasmin Acree, a bright and ambitious honor student who vanished from her Chicago home in January of 2008. Despite clear signs of forced entry, police initially dismissed her disappearance as a runaway case—an assumption her loved ones fiercely dispute.

Join Ali as she dives into this missing person case.

June 19, 2025Cold and Missing: The Be-Lo Murders
In June of 1993, a quiet Sunday evening in Windsor, North Carolina turned horrific when a man entered the Be-Lo grocery store just after closing time. Within minutes, he had gathered the store manager, a cashier, and the overnight cleaning crew into the back of the store—what followed was a calculated act of violence that left three people dead and two more clinging to life. Despite surviving the ordeal, one man’s eyewitness account and a mountain of investigative effort have not been enough to bring justice. Over 30 years later, the murders of Grover Cecil, Joyce Reason, and Johnnie Rankins remain unsolved. Join Ali and Eli as they go over this horrific cold case.
*** If you know anything about the murders of Grover Cecil, Joyce Reason, and Johnnie Rankins at the BeLo grocery store in June of 1993 please call the Windsor police at 252-794-3111 or the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-334-3000 ***

June 05, 2025Cold and Missing: Ameera Deadrick
In the fall of 2016, eight-year-old Ameera Deadrick disappeared from Houston, TX after years of custody struggles between her parents. What began as a summer visit with her father turned into a permanent separation, despite her mother Tiara’s efforts to bring her home. The last confirmed sighting of Ameera was a Facebook video in early 2016—months before all contact stopped. When her father went to jail, no one knew where Ameera was. He claimed to have left her with a woman named Linda, or “Tootie,” in Waco, TX—someone police have never been able to locate. With no records, no sightings, and few answers, Ameera’s case remains unsolved.
*** If you know anything about the disappearance of Ameera Deadrick - or her whereabouts today- or if you know anything Linda or Tootie who lived in Waco, TX - please call the Houston police at 713-884-3131 or the Waco police at 254-750-7500 ***
