Michael Chambers was a pillar of his community. A retired firefighter, serving for over 30 years, a local deacon, and a handyman who loved fixing anything for anyone. Michael seemed like he had it all, a loving wife, a large family, and even a designated space (his workshop) to pursue one of his biggest passions, cars. So when Michael vanished from his workshop in March 2017, everyone who knew him was left dumbfounded. Confusion would only grow as police would come forward with a narrative that Michael staged his disappearance and committed suicide by jumping from a 5-foot-tall bridge. Police would give this recollection of the tragedy around the same time Michaels's wife was cashing in his $750,000 life insurance policy.

She was meeting him there to drop off her two children and follow him to his mother's house; however, when the pair approached a red light after pulling out, she would go around him and make a right on red, never to be seen again. Alexis shared some unsettling information with her mother while visiting the previous weekend. By February 1st, her mother reported her missing to the Anderson County Police, and the very next day, they made a confusing discovery.

Mark Himebaugh was walking home from school just like any other November weekday. He lived with his mother, Maureen, and his older brother in Del Haven, New Jersey. However, on a fateful Monday in November of 1991, his attention was captivated by a brush fire taking place not far from his home. When he got his mother's permission to go get a closer look, she would have no idea this would be the last time she would see her child.

In November 2018, Florida native Carla Stefaniak decided to take a trip to Costa Rica to celebrate her 36th birthday. The majority of her trip would go as planned, and she would enjoy the tropical vacation spot for a little under a week. That is until November 27th, when her sister-in-law, who had taken the trip with her, had to return home as they had different airline tickets. While we can trace Carla's whereabouts to around 9 PM that evening, following this, none of her friends or family heard from her. The next day was not only her birthday but the day she was supposed to travel home. When she would remain silent all day and not depart from the plane she was supposed to board, her friends' and family's worries escalated. It is not for a couple of days that a grisly discovery was made, and while someone has been punished for what took place on the evening of November 27th, 2018, almost all of the evidence points to the fact that they did not work alone.

Jessica Masker was last seen at a gas station in East Washington, Indianapolis, on April 15th, 2013. Shortly before vanishing, Jessica would make a concerning phone call to her brother asking for a ride; when he told her he could not as he was already on his way to work, he suggested calling their mom. However, this is not what she did; she would call her boyfriend and arrange a pickup spot. However, she would never arrive at this location and has never been seen since. 

 Almost eight years later, Kirsten Brueggeman vanished from a location just 10 minutes away from Jessica's last known place. Kirsten left a bar parking lot on food in the middle of the night after arguing with her friends. While detectives were able to briefly trace her steps following her leaving the parking lot, the CCTV camera that was capturing her malfunctioned while she was walking through its view, leaving us to wonder was this a technical malfunction or something more sinister?
