LaDonna Humphrey worked as a victims advocate for missing adults, and on the 13th January 1995 she was driving on her way to Fort Smith listening to the radio as she and most of the world were invested in the O.J Simpson trial and prosecutors believed that O.J. had dropped a glove as he attempted to sneak back to his mansion the night of the Simpson and Goldman murders.
There was another announcement on the radio that a body had been found in the Ozark National Forest that jolted her back to home and she heard that authorities were on the scene. From that moment on LaDonna has been obsessed with the Melissa Witt case.
On this episode of Crimepedia, we discuss he involvement in the Melissa Witt investigation and her book, "The Girl I Never Knew".

It was the early morning hours of Palm Sunday 2003, residents and guests at 64 E. 17th Avenue were settling down for bed after enjoying the evening celebrating a 21st birthday.

According to The Burn Institute more than half of fire-related deaths result from smoke inhalation, Smoke inhalation occurs when you breathe in harmful smoke particles and gases. Inhaling harmful smoke can inflame your lungs and airway, causing them to swell and block oxygen. This can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure.
Smoke inhalation commonly happens when you get trapped in a contained area, such as a bedroom at home, near a fire. Most fires occur in the home, often from cooking, fireplaces and space heaters, electrical malfunctions, and smoking but occasionally, those fires are started deliberately.  Once you start to inhale the smoke, you are not getting enough oxygen to live. Depending on the density and heat of the smoke, it may take 2 to 10 minutes to pass out or die.  A standard house fire can reach temperatures of up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit (815 Celcius). It will always be hottest at the ceiling, as heat rises. However, it can still easily be a few hundred degrees or more at the floor level. What chance does a 7 year old girl stand against that?

How does one just simply vanish? Barbara Bolick wanted to share the view of one of her favorite places with a family friend. She had just hiked a 2.6 mile trail to a beautiful overlook in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. She was less than 30 feet away from her hiking partner, when she seemingly vanished without a trace. Despite an extensive search, no sign of Barbara was ever found. Did Barbara get lost? Did she stumble of the path or fall off a cliff? Or was Barbara the victim of foul play?  Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.

It was the hottest day of the year. The mercury in the thermometers rose to 33C/91.4F. Car parks melted. Railway tracks buckled. Moors caught fire. Fuel tanks exploded. Ann Heron was making the most of the sunshine, sunbathing in the garden listening to her radio alongside her dog.
That day would be the start of over 30 years of suspicion that would cloud the Heron family. Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/crimepedia.
