Gone in a Blink

A young woman is snatched from a Kentucky beach in broad daylight-witnessed only by a man looking through a telescope from an entirely different state. When prime suspect Marty Dill commits suicide days later, police consider the case essentially closed. But Heather's family believes the real kidnapper is still out there. Thirty years later, dramatic new developments-including a $29 million federal lawsuit and the exhumation of the suspect's body-are forcing the truth to surface. Was it a random attack, or a carefully calculated cover-up?

In August 1993, 12-year-old Sara Anne Wood vanished while riding her bicycle home from vacation Bible school in Upstate New York. A massive hunt followed, but the breakthrough only came when another child escaped a kidnapping attempt five months later. Serial predator Lewis Lent confessed to Sara's murder but still refuses to reveal the true location of her remains. This episode explores a 30-year cat-and-mouse game between investigators and a convicted killer.

On a chilly November night in 2002, 20-year-old Josh Guimond walked out of an on-campus poker party at St. John's University and vanished into the darkness. He left behind his car keys, glasses, and wallet, seemingly walking toward a future that would never arrive. Was it a tragic accident in the nearby lakes, or did something far more sinister happen on that short walk home? Tonight, we retrace the final known steps of a 'star student' whose case continues to baffle investigators more than twenty years later.

In the early morning of August 13th, 1995, a nightmare became reality for the Tapia family in Salt Lake City. While they slept just feet away, someone removed a window screen and abducted 6 year old Rosie from her bedroom. Hours later, she was found in a nearby canal. Today, 30 years have passed with no arrests but a $100,000 reward, and new leads are keeping the investigation alive. We dive into the case that changed a community forever and examined the latest search for the “Good Samaritan”, who could very well be a predator in disguise.

How does a 6-foot-tall young man end up in a fetal position inside a chimney, only to have his death ruled an accident? Today we dive deep into the inconsistencies of the Joshua Maddux case. We examine the 'accidental' theory against the unsettling physical evidence: the breakfast bar dragged to block the fireplace from the inside, the bizarre state of Joshua's clothing, and the dark rumors surrounding a local man who reportedly inserted himself into the case. Was this a tragic misadventure, or did a killer hide in plain sight for 7 years?

On a spring morning in 2002, seven-year-old Alexis Patterson walked toward Hi-Mount Elementary School, accompanied by her stepfather to the corner, just steps away from the entrance. She was seen by a crossing guard and classmates on the playground, yet she never made it to her first-grade classroom. When the final bell rang, Alexis was nowhere to be found. We retrace her final know steps, the delayed notification that gave a kidnapper an eight-hour head start, and the two decades of tips that have led to a haunting silence.
