Episode 107 Amber Wilde

Nineteen year old college student Amber Wilde vanished from Green Bay, Wisconsin on September 23rd, 1998. Amber, who was almost 5 months pregnant at the time, had been involved in a minor traffic accident earlier in the day which left her with a concussion, although there's no evidence that her concussion, or the accident played any role in her disapperance.

When her father failed to hear from Amber, he went to her apartment finding it empty and undisturbed. He did not find Amber, or her car; a Silver 1988 Subaru GL. He reported her missing, and for days there was no sign of her or her vehicle. Then on October 1st, 1998, Amber's car was found parked in Green Bay, near Lambeau Field. It seems as if the car had been there for a few days before being found. An examination of the vehicle revealed some prints that have never been identified. It was also discovered that the driver's seat was all the way back to allow a tall driver to operate the vehicle. Amber, who was 5ft6, drove with the seat close enough to reach the pedals. It was believed that someone else had parked it there. In addition, there were several hundred more miles on the vehicle than there were just days earlier when Amber was last known to have driven it.

Searches for Amber came up empty, and police believe that Amber was the victim of a homicide. The prime suspect in the case is the alleged father of Amber's baby. Phone logs and a diary Amber kept point to him as being the baby's father; something he denies. This man hired an attorney and refused to cooperate with police, or to take a polygraph test.

The guest in this episode is retired detective, David Graf, who worked Amber's case. He discussed the details related to her disapperance, and the aftermath, as well as where things stand today.

When Amber Wilde vanished, she was described as being a 19 yr old White female. She stood 5ft6 and weighed between 135-150 pounds. She had Brown eyes, and straight Brown hair that was longer than shoulder length. Amber's missing vehicle, a Silver 1988 Subaru GL, with WI plate #X5725T, and damage to the front end, was foundon October 1st, 1998 near the 50 Yard Line sports bar and Road Star Inn parking lot(both have since been torn down) East of the K mart, and off of Lombardi Access rd. It's believed that Amber's car was parked there for a few days before being found.

Episode 105 Deanna Merryfield

On the night of July 21, 1990, thirteen year old Deanna Merryfield spent much of the night watching movies with her grandmother in Killeen, Texas. After her grandmother went to bed, Deanna snuck out of the house, and at 3:30am, went to see her sister Rebecca who lived with their uncle nearby. Deanna knocked on Rebecca's window and the sisters briefly talked before their uncle woke up and told Deanna that she needed to leave. Deanna had been driven to the house by two men in a Brown or Bronze four door car that Rebecca did not recognize. Deanna left with the two men who were thought to be either Caucasian or Hispanic, and after that, she vanished.

Hours later, Deanna's grandmother realized that she was missing and reported her missing, but because she was suspected to be a run away by police, there was no investigation started.

In 1992, Rebecca reportedly received a collect phone call from someone who told the operator that her name was Deanna, but when Rebecca accepted the call, the caller had hung up. The call was traced to Kentucky, where Deanna had family, but none of her relatives there reported seeing Deanna.

During the 2000-2002 time period, there was an unconfirmed sighting of Deanna by a relative of hers who claimed to have encountered her, and that Deanna at the time of the sighting had several tattoos. The information provided by this family member may not be credible.

At another point over the years, someone contacted police and told them that Deanna had returned home safely. As a result, her case was closed. It was only realized later that the call was to police was inaccurate, and Deanna was still missing, at which point her case was re-opened.

Deanna remains missing to this day. In this episode, Deanna's sister Melissa is our guest.

At the time of her disappearance, Deanna was described as a White female standing between 5ft and 5ft5, and weighing 108-120 pounds. She had Blonde hair and Hazel eyes. She had a small scar on her upper lip. Deanna if alive today, may or may not have tattoos; including the name "Merryfield" with an unknown date on her neck, a cross with lines on her ankle and a yellow rose with "Texas Born" on her back. There is a DNA sample on file for needed comparisons as per Deanna's NAMUS page

Investigators are interested in identifying and speaking to the two young men Deanna was last seen with. At the time of Deanna's disappearance, the men, possibly brothers, were thought to be White or Hispanic, and their names may be Tony and Rudy Longoria. Police were also seeking a Sylvia Martinez for questioning.

If you have any information or tips in Deanna's case, please contact the Killeen Police Department at 254-501-8830 or submit a tip on Bell County Crime Stoppers.
