    • The Murder of Dana Stidham Ep. 3

      In this episode  of “Extinguished,” hosts David McClam and LaDonna Humphrey explore the unsolved murder of 18-year-old Dana Stidham, who disappeared on July 25, 1989, in Bella Vista, Arkansas. Dana went missing during a quick grocery run, and her car was later found abandoned with signs that someone else had driven it.

      Her skeletal remains were discovered on September 17, 1989, but due to decomposition, it was unclear if she had been sexually assaulted. Several personal items and groceries were never recovered. Despite evidence collected, including scattered clothing and a magazine found near her belongings, no DNA has led to an arrest.

      In 2016, a suspect was named but not charged, and the case remains open with investigators seeking new information. The episode also touches on the upcoming episode on Helene Nikki Anderson’s murder, noting the lack of media coverage for cases involving marginalized communities.

      The hosts stress the importance of independent media in highlighting these issues and advocate for solving Dana’s case. They emphasize giving victims a voice and ensuring their stories are remembered.


      Key Points:

      • Disappearance and Discovery: Dana Stidham disappeared during a routine grocery trip. Her father’s car was found abandoned with evidence suggesting another driver. Her skeletal remains were discovered nearly two months later, with significant decomposition complicating the investigation.

      • Unresolved Evidence: Personal items and groceries were missing, and scattered clothing and a magazine were found near the scene. Despite evidence collection, no DNA has led to an arrest, leaving the case cold.

      • Suspect and Investigation Status: A suspect was named in 2016, yet no charges have been filed. Investigators continue to seek new leads to solve the case.

      • Upcoming Discussions: The episode hints at future coverage of Helene Nikki Anderson’s murder, highlighting the disparity in media attention for cases involving marginalized communities.

      • Role of Independent Media: The hosts emphasize the critical role of independent media in bringing attention to underreported cases and advocating for justice. They underscore the importance of giving victims a voice and ensuring their stories are not forgotten.

      Listeners are encouraged to engage with the episode and consider the broader implications of media coverage in unsolved cases, particularly those affecting marginalized groups.
