Face Not Found

In December 1976, the remains of a pregnant teenage girl were discovered inside three suitcases along Pennsylvania’s Lehigh River. For more than four decades, she was known only as “Beth Doe.”

In this episode of Face Not Found, we restore the name she was denied for 44 years: Evelyn Colón. We examine Evelyn’s life, her relationship with Luis Sierra, the investigation that finally identified her through genetic genealogy, and the murder charges that followed. This is the story of a 15-year-old Puerto Rican girl—and her unborn daughter—who deserved to be remembered by more than a haunting nickname.

When successful businesswoman and devoted mother Andreen McDonald suddenly disappeared from her San Antonio home, the person responsible believed there would be no body—and therefore no case.

But Andreen’s loved ones immediately knew something was wrong. Suspicion soon fell on her husband, Andre McDonald, whose behavior, conflicting explanations, and disturbing statements raised serious questions about what happened inside their home.

In this episode of Face Not Found, we examine Andreen’s life, the troubled marriage hidden behind the couple’s success, the evidence uncovered during the investigation, the discovery that finally brought answers, and the controversial verdict that left many questioning whether justice was truly served.

This is the story of Andreen McDonald—a mother, entrepreneur, and woman whose identity deserves to be remembered far beyond the man who took her life.

She was 25 years old. A former beauty queen. A beloved teacher. A devoted Catholic whose faith shaped every part of her life.

On Easter weekend in 1960, Irene Garza walked into church for confession... and never came home.

Five days later, her body was discovered in a remote canal outside McAllen, Texas. She had been brutally assaulted and murdered. The prime suspect was someone the community trusted without question—a Catholic priest.

For decades, rumors spread, witnesses stayed silent, and justice seemed impossible. It would take more than half a century before Irene's family finally saw the legal system acknowledge what they had believed all along.

In this episode of Face Not Found, we separate fact from myth, examine the official investigation, court records, and witness testimony, and tell the story of a woman whose life deserves to be remembered for far more than the crime that ended it.

Because every victim deserves to have their name spoken.

On April 23, 2019, nine-months-pregnant Marlen Ochoa-Lopez left her Chicago high school and traveled to a woman’s home after being promised free baby clothes through Facebook. The 19-year-old mother never returned home.

Marlen had been deliberately lured into a trap. After taking her life, her attackers attempted to claim her newborn son as their own. Baby Yovanny Jadiel Lopez survived for nearly two months before dying from his injuries—leaving Marlen’s husband and young son to grieve two unimaginable losses.

In this episode of Face Not Found, we follow Marlen’s story from her life as a young mother and high school student through her disappearance, the disturbing discovery of what happened inside that Chicago home, the investigation, and the sentences ultimately handed down.

Clarisa Figueroa received 50 years in prison, while her daughter, Desiree Figueroa, received 30 years for her role in Marlen’s murder.

Marlen was more than the horrifying circumstances of her death. She was a daughter, a wife, a mother, and a young woman whose entire future was stolen.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses pregnancy, murder, fetal abduction, and the death of an infant.

On January 8, 2022, 16-year-old Tioni Theus was found fatally shot beside the Manchester Avenue on-ramp to the 110 Freeway in South Los Angeles. She had last been seen the previous day after telling her father she planned to meet a friend and attend a party.

Tioni was a straight-A student who loved dancing and golf—a daughter, sister, cousin, and friend whose life was much bigger than the circumstances of her death. Authorities later revealed that evidence suggested she may have been a victim of human trafficking. More than four years later, no arrest has been made.

In this episode of Face Not Found, we examine Tioni’s life, her final known movements, the investigation, the possibility that she was being exploited, and her family’s continuing fight for answers.

Tioni deserved protection. Tioni deserves justice.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the California Highway Patrol’s Southern Division Special Services Unit at 323-644-9557.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses the murder and possible sexual exploitation of a minor.

Twenty-year-old Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén dreamed of serving her country—but behind the gates of Fort Hood, she was struggling in silence. On April 22, 2020, Vanessa disappeared from the military base, sparking a nationwide search and a movement demanding answers.

In this episode of Face Not Found, we examine Vanessa’s life, the investigation into her disappearance and murder, the failures that allowed warning signs to be ignored, and the lasting reforms inspired by the rallying cry: I Am Vanessa Guillén.

This episode discusses violence, sexual harassment allegations, murder, and institutional failure. Listener discretion is advised.

Before the world knew the name Vanessa Guillén, Fort Hood already had a history filled with disturbing scandals, unanswered questions, violence, disappearances, and repeated warnings that something was deeply wrong.

In this episode, we take a step back from one case and look at the place where it happened: Fort Hood, Texas. From its military origins to years of controversy, misconduct, failed leadership, and families begging for accountability, this episode sets the scene for understanding why Vanessa’s story shook the nation — and why so many people believe the warning signs were there long before her disappearance.

This is the dark history of Fort Hood — the base before Vanessa Guillén.

What was supposed to be a luxury vacation with friends ended in tragedy. Within 24 hours of arriving in Cabo, 25-year-old Shanquella Robinson was dead. Her family was first told she died of alcohol poisoning—but an autopsy, a viral video, and conflicting accounts painted a very different picture. In this episode, we separate verified facts from speculation and examine the evidence, timeline, and unanswered questions that continue to fuel the search for justice.

Madeline Soto should have been safe at home. Instead, her case became one of the most disturbing child murder investigations in recent memory—filled with shifting stories, devastating warning signs, and the horrifying truth about what was happening behind closed doors. In this episode, I walk through the timeline of Madeline’s disappearance, the evidence that unraveled the story being told, and the abuse allegations that turned this case into something far darker than anyone first imagined. This is the story of Madeline Soto.

Rachael Castillo was a 25-year-old mother of two, graduate student, and aspiring family therapist whose future seemed bright. But in November 2022, she vanished from her California home, leaving behind signs of a violent struggle. What began as a missing person case quickly turned into a homicide investigation that exposed betrayal, obsession, and a crime that shocked even seasoned investigators. In this episode, we examine Rachael's life, the investigation, the evidence, and the devastating impact on the family she left behind. Facts only. Listener discretion is advised. 

"She was building a new life. Someone decided she wouldn't get the chance."
