On May 23rd, 1993, Dorothy Pitcher (47) and Danielle Pitcher (14) were kidnapped while walking along highway 181 at the s-curve, in Sunizona, Arizona. The mother and daughter left home at approximately 1pm to walk the 3 miles to the local RV Park store located on the corner of highway 181 and highway 191 in Cochise County, Arizona. It was common for the family to walk to and from the store. However, Dorothy was adamant about not accepting rides from strangers and expressed this to her children.

Along their route, Dorothy and Danielle stopped at the house of one of Dorothy’s older daughters and asked if she would like to join them. She declined. This was the last time anyone spoke to Dorothy and Danielle. After this encounter, there were few sightings of the two.

Dorothy & Danielle Pitcher were last seen on highway 181, at the s-curve, in Cochise County, 1.5 miles away from their home on Ash Creek Road in Sunizona, Arizona. A dog was brought in and picked up the mother and daughter’s scent at the store and followed it along highway 181, but the scent was dropped at the s-curve. Husband and father, Jack Pitcher, was ruled out as a suspect after passing 2 polygraph tests. There have been ‘person(s) of interest’ but to this day, no arrests have been made.

‘Someone knows what happened to Dorothy and Danielle Pitcher on May 23rd, 1993.’

Dawn Pitcher continues to search for answers to what happened to her mother and sister and will not rest until she finds justice for Dorothy & Danielle and peace for her family. She created the organization Missing Pitchers in 1993 to aid in the search for her mother and sister and has spoken out about the case.

The Pitcher case remains open and criminal activity is suspected. It is now considered a murder investigation.

Patricia was last seen in Lewiston, Idaho late in the evening on September 2, 1976. She got into an argument with her husband, Ralph Otto, and left the house angrily. She never returned.

Ralph didn't report her missing; her sister did, on October 8, more than a month after she was last seen. Patricia left behind all her belongings, including her car and her wedding rings, which she normally didn't remove. The rings were found in Ralph's coat pocket, but they have since been lost.

Patricia and Ralph's marriage was difficult and she had left on her own before. She filed for divorce in the spring of 1976, but later reconciled with her husband. They were fighting at the time of her disappearance because he believed she was unfaithful to him. After her disappearance, Ralph told their two young daughters that their mother had abandoned them.

Authorities theorize Patricia was murdered, and Ralph is the prime suspect in her disappearance. One of the couple's daughters said he was an alcoholic who "incriminating statements about himself" in relation to his wife's case. Another daughter, then three years old, said she saw her father assault her mother on the night Patricia disappeared, and that the last time she saw her mother, her father had his hands around her neck.

Less than a year after she vanished, he was convicted of hiring a contract killer to murder the lead investigator in Patricia's disappearance. The verdict was overturned on a technicality in 1981, however. Ralph died of a heart attack a few years later, while in jail on an unrelated charge.

Patricia and Ralph's daughters who were raised by their paternal aunt and uncle after their father's death. One of the daughters is now deceased, but the other is still alive and still looking for answers in her mother's case. Her case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.

We speak to her daughter Suzanne Timms and her friend and advocate Mel Jederberg about the possibility of a Jane Doe found 3 hours from where her mother disappeared being her mother.  Truth is stranger than fiction

A teenage girl goes out with friends in Calais. Days later, her body washes ashore.

Life in the small town turned upside down in 1984.

Kim Steadman was one of the last people to see Linda Maxwell alive 37 years ago, she still doesn't know how her friend ended up dead in the St. Croix River.

"Her biggest fear was drowning," Steadman said.

She was 18 years old.

Steadman says there was a group of men in a truck that night, they were older and into drugs. She saw Linda with them on the night of August 23, when the group pulled into "the mart" parking lot, their usual hangout.

She says Linda left with the same group. The next morning, she was a missing person, and the community started to search.

Three days later, Linda's naked body washed ashore at the Robbinston boat landing.

With little evidence, the case went cold.

Nothing can bring Linda back, but answers would ease some of the pain for this small town.

But the question remains, will anyone speak up, to bring a killer to justice?

Tonight we are joined by Kim Steadman, a childhood friend of Linda Maxwell as she tells the story of what she has learned about that night,

August 19, 2016 - Johnney Leavitt, 20, was walking down Route 172 (L'etang Road) towards Back Bay Road in L'Etete just before 4:00 am when he was struck by a vehicle.  Mr. Leavitt died at the scene.

It is believed that he may have been struck by a black truck that was captured on video in the area at that time.

Tonight we speak to his mother Michelle Comeau and her fight for justice for the death of her son.  She and many others know who killed Johnney, yet no charges have been filed.

The family and crimestoppers are offering a $15, 000 reward for  information that leads to an arrest.

On the evening of July 31st, 2018 Liz Munster, who also goes by the name Perkins had been picked up at a friend's house in Augusta  Maine by a male individual at about 8:30pm.  She never came home, her family believe she overdosed at his home and he disposed of her body on the side of the weeks mills road in Augusta Maine in the early hours of August 1st,2018.  This man admitted to police she had been with him that night and took them to the location where her body was found yet he has never been charged with any crime.

Laws need to change in Maine in regards to illegally disposing of a human body.  Detectives told the family they could do nothing more than charge him with littering.   Why is this man still walking free?  If she died of an overdose, text messages show that he provided her with the drugs.  Due to decomposition, the medical examiner was unable to rule a cause of death for Liz Perkins.  

We urge you to take a moment and sign a petition for the family to try to get a bill that would change the laws in Maine in regards to disposal of a human body at the link below
