The Missing and Unexplained Podcast

Alex was last seen in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Alex's family had last contact with him on August 6, 2020. Some reports have placed him walking south, carrying grocery bags, on Van Buren St. by the Metro Market in Milwaukee. The last time he logged into Facebook was July 2020. He was 33 at the time. Alex has a history of substance use, and his mental health may have been poor when he went missing. 

Alex is a Caucasian male with Black hair and brown eyes. He's about 6 feet tall and 175 pounds. He goes by Alex and Al. He has a small scar on his abdomen from pyloric stenosis surgery. He usually has facial hair. He loves sports, particularly baseball. 

If you have any information on Alexander's whereabouts, please get in touch with the Milwaukee police at 414-935-7401. And if you would like more information about Alex's story, please visit the Bring Alex Kruck Home Facebook page. 

I recently spoke to his sister Claire, who told me more about Alex and the murky details surrounding his disappearance.

Patricia Marie Small went missing near Liberty, Texas, on May 11, 2002. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance are murky, but likely, she was last seen around the 2400 block of Beaumont Avenue in Liberty, Texas. It's unclear whether she was abducted or left of her own volition.

Patricia was 18 at the time. She's a white female who is approximately 5'6 and weighs around 110 pounds. She has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a mole on the right side of her head and a heart tattoo on her right ankle with a ribbon above it that reads "Jennifer Friends 4 Ever."

If you know anything about her disappearance, please get in touch with the Liberty Police Department at 936.336.5666 and reference case # 022463.

Also, please check out the Facebook page: Help find missing persons Patricia Marie Small - TX.

As I mentioned in the last episode, while I was researching Patricia's case, I came across "The Missing Texas Forty Facebook Page," which I had never heard of before. I learned about a cluster of more than 40 people who have gone missing outside of Houston, Texas, primarily in and around Liberty and Montgomery Counties. If you're listening and know someone who has gone missing in these areas and is part of the missing Texas Forty, please get in touch with me through the Missing and Unexplained Facebook page.

In this second episode, I spoke to Patricia's friend, Annie, about Patricia's disappearance and her quest to find answers and truth.

Here's my interview with Annie.

There doesn't seem to be a specific reason these people go missing, but people told me some theories include human trafficking and criminal activity.

I spoke to Patricia's younger sister, Barbara, about her disappearance.

A couple of years ago, I did a series on Kris Fowler, who went missing hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016. One of the interviews I did right before the series came out was with former Park Ranger Andrea Lankford, who wrote the bestseller "Ranger Confidential." At the time, Andrea alluded to me that she was researching another book about missing persons on the PCT. Well, Andrea's latest book, "Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail" comes out this month and looks at the disappearances of Kris Fowler, Chris Sylvia, and David O'Sullivan, all who went missing while through hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Andrea's book and read it this summer. It's a riveting story, incredibly well-written and exhaustively researched. Her book, "Trail of the Lost," comes out on August 22, 2023; you can find it on Amazon or where you get your books. I talked with Andrea about the book, her writing journey, and why people go missing on the PCT.

Here's my chat with Andrea.

Michael Bryson went missing from a campground near Dorena, Oregon, on Aug. 5, 2020, during a party. He was 27 at the time. It's reported that Michael wandered away from the campsite sometime around 4:30 a.m. Some report he was upset when he left, although it's unclear why.

He was last seen by his parents, Tina and Parrish, on Aug. 3, 2020, when he stopped by their house before heading to the party at the campground.

In December 2020, some of Michael's clothes were located, but Michael was nowhere to be found.

Tina and Parrish started the Michael Bryson Foundation after he went missing to bring awareness to missing people and mental health and drug addiction.

A Facebook page, Let's Find Michael Bryson, has more than 24000 members, and I highly recommend checking it out to find more details about this case.

If you know anything about Michael Bryson's disappearance, please contact them or the Lane County sheriff's office at (541) 682-4150, option 1, and reference case No. 20-5286. You can also get in touch with Michael's parents through the Facebook page "Let's Find Michael Bryson." 

 I talked to Michael's parents right before the third anniversary of his disappearance. Here's my conversation with Tina and Parrish Bryson.

Twenty-eight-year-old Bernard "Bernie" Grempel went missing on May 14, 2021. That evening he took the SkyTrain from Surrey to New Westminster before boarding the 340 bus to North Delta around 11 p.m. No one has ever determined if he got off the bus or where.

He's 30 years old, 6' tall, and has a slim build, curly brown hair and brown eyes. I talked to his older sister Ettie Shurack who is searching for her Brother. His family is offering a $50,000 reward for anyone who can help bring Bernie home. Shurack also manages a Facebook group called "Bernard Grempel is Missing," where you can get up-to-date information in their search for Bernard. After two years of searching, Shurack worries about her Brother and says he is a well-liked and popular member of her family and community.

If you have seen Bernard or know where he is, please call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. This is my conversation with Ettie.

In April, I did an episode on Thomas Stephen Blake, who went missing from Big Spring, Texas, in early August 1987. Tom was a truck driver, and after he went missing, his big rig was found idling with a whole load of onions in a rest area several miles from Big Spring, where Tom was last seen. Inside the truck, police found his cigarettes, I.D. and other personal items.

Tom was with a woman at the time who was also missing. In April, I spoke with his sister Linda. In Part 2, I speak with her husband, Jim, who is a former police officer and had some valuable insight into drug running on the U.S.-Mexico border, and whether Tom might have been involved in something like this.

In this second episode, I talked to private investigator Brent Campbell who Autumn's family hired to investigate the case.

He also explained the numerous mistakes and errors police made when investigating, including poking holes in the police's suicide theory.

If you have any information or tips to help the investigation, please call the Seattle Police's Homicide Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.

In this first episode, I talked to Autumn's friends and family about the days and weeks leading up to her death. She was in a new relationship and had fallen head over heels. She soon became engaged and pregnant. But weeks after she had her second child, something sinister occurred: Her second child was injured, and she was distraught. She needed answers and to find out what happened. She planned to meet her fiancé at Green Lake and confront him.

If you have any information or tips to help the investigation, please call the Seattle Police's Homicide Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.
