Kirsten Suzanne Brueggeman was 26 years old when she disappeared from Indianapolis, Indiana, in the early hours of January 2, 2021. She lived with her parents, Lisa and Rex, on the northeast side of the city and was their only daughter. Those who knew her described Kirsten as a free spirit who loved animals, had a stubborn streak, and was deeply attached to her family and her dog, Tifa. She worked at a local pizza restaurant, and because she did not have a driver’s license, she relied heavily on her mother for rides, which made her sudden disappearance feel especially out of character and alarming to her family.

In recent years, Austin, Texas, has been gripped by unsettling rumors of a serial killer dubbed the "Rainey Street Ripper." This moniker arose following a series of mysterious deaths, primarily involving young men, whose bodies were discovered in or near Lady Bird Lake, close to the bustling Rainey Street entertainment district. Despite official statements dismissing the existence of a serial killer, the pattern and frequency of these incidents have fueled public speculation and concern.

Elizabeth "Liz" Barraza, a 29-year-old woman from Tomball, Texas, was tragically shot to death on January 25, 2019, while setting up a garage sale outside her home.

Despite the shooting being captured on video, her killer has never been caught.Liz's husband, Sergio Barraza, was not home at the time of the shooting but was able to view the surveillance footage afterward. The Harris County Sheriff's Office has been actively investigating the case, believing it to be a planned murder.

Ben Tyner was a 32-year-old professional cowboy and ranch manager who had recently moved from his close-knit family home in Wyoming to Merritt, British Columbia, to take a management position at Nicola Ranch in late 2018. Described by his family as selfless, hardworking, and deeply devoted to ranch life, he had built a reputation as a respected horseman, working in various places, including as far away as Russia, before settling in the Nicola Valley. His loved ones speak of a man whose identity was wrapped up in caring for livestock, working long days in difficult conditions, and living what he considered a dream as a cowboy.On January 26, 2019, Ben was last seen at Nicola Ranch, where he had been working as manager. He reportedly left the ranch on horseback that afternoon, possibly to check on cattle in the surrounding hills near Merritt. Two days later, alarm grew when his saddled horse was discovered wandering alone on a logging road off Highway 97C near an area known as Winnie Flats, northwest of Merritt. The horse was fully tacked but riderless, an immediate red flag in the ranching community, where a loose working horse usually signals that something has gone very wrong.Investigators later confirmed that the horse, named Gunny, appeared nervous but uninjured, and one of the reins was broken. At the same time, other troubling details emerged: Ben had not told anyone he was going away, he left behind his wallet and cellphone, and even his beloved dog, Sioux, remained at the ranch. For someone whose life revolved around animals and responsibility, leaving suddenly without his dog or his basic personal items appeared deeply out of character, increasing fears that his disappearance was not voluntary.In the days that followed, an extensive search effort unfolded across the rugged backcountry north of Merritt. RCMP, local search and rescue teams, air services, police dogs, and numerous volunteers on horseback, on foot, in vehicles, and on snowmobiles combed the wilderness around where Gunny had been found. After nearly a week of intensive searching in harsh winter conditions, no trace of Ben was located, and the physical search was reluctantly suspended. The absence of footprints, discarded equipment, or any clear trail only deepened the mystery and the worry felt by those who knew him.As the search shifted into a longer-term investigation, the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit joined the case, and the tone of official updates changed. In February 2019, police appealed for dash-cam footage from drivers who had been in the Highway 97C and Winnie Flats area around the time Ben vanished, hoping that even a small detail caught on video might offer a lead. By March 2019, after reviewing available evidence, RCMP publicly stated that the circumstances of his disappearance were suspicious and that they believed criminality might be involved.
