Cold and Missing

In August 1990, 11-year-old Heidi Seeman disappeared while walking home in San Antonio, Texas. A red car with tinted windows had been seen circling her before she vanished. Despite massive searches and multiple reported sightings—including one of a girl tied up in the back of a truck—no solid leads emerged. Three weeks later, Heidi’s body was found wrapped in trash bags on a remote ranch. Over the years, investigators focused on two key suspects: an Air Force Major, who had been involved in the search efforts, and a meth addict allegedly seen with a restrained young girl. Yet, neither was ever charged, and the case remains unsolved. Decades later, law enforcement and Heidi’s family still seek justice, hoping that new information—or forensic advances—will finally solve the mystery of what happened to Heidi Seeman. Join Ali as she goes over this 35 year old cold case.

On February 4, 2003, 4-year-old Sofia Juarez went missing in Kennewick, Washington, just hours before her 5th birthday. She had been playing at home with her uncle before asking to go to the store with her grandmother's boyfriend, Jose. But when Jose returned home without her, the family’s frantic search revealed no sign of Sofia. Despite a statewide Amber Alert—the first of its kind in Washington—the search for Sofia, including the use of bloodhounds and extensive neighborhood canvassing, yielded no leads. Over the weeks, the investigation revealed conflicting details, including a witness who reported seeing Sofia being led away by a suspect to a van shortly before her disappearance. Various suspect vehicles and individuals were investigated, yet Sofia’s whereabouts remain unknown.
