In August 1996, 11-year-old Trudy Appleby vanished from her home in Moline, Illinois. She was last seen getting into a gray car with a young man, swimsuit and towel in hand — but she never came back. For nearly three decades, her case haunted the Quad Cities as her family held vigils, detectives chased leads, and suspicions mounted around trusted family friends.

Now, after 29 years, a Henry County grand jury has indicted Jamison “Jamie” Fisher for Trudy’s murder, finally bringing the case closer to justice.

In this episode of Mama Mystery, we explore the full timeline of Trudy’s disappearance, the investigation that went cold, and the decades of determination that led to this long-awaited break in one of Illinois’ most heartbreaking cases.

In July 2021, Bart and Krista Halderson vanished from their Windsor, Wisconsin home after what was said to be a sudden holiday trip to the family cabin. As days passed with no word, suspicions grew. Friends noticed their cars still in the garage. Coworkers wondered why Krista never called in. And Chandler, their 23-year-old son, was the only one relaying updates. What began as a missing persons report quickly unraveled into something far more disturbing, as investigators pieced together a trail of strange behavior, hidden evidence, and chilling discoveries.

Four members of the same Tennessee family -- 21-year-old James “Matthew” Wilson, 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, her mother 38-year-old Cortney Rose, and 15-year-old Braydon Williams -- were found murdered in a rural Lake County woodline on July 29, 2025. Hours earlier, their 7-month-old baby girl had been abandoned unharmed in a stranger’s yard miles away. Authorities quickly identified 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond, who has ties to the victims through his girlfriend, as the suspect. Drummond, a convicted felon with a violent criminal history, is accused of targeting the family, killing them, and fleeing the scene. He’s been spotted armed and in camouflage in Jackson, TN, sparking a massive multi-agency manhunt and a $30,000 reward for his capture.
