On Wednesday, January 19, 1994, in Los Angeles, California, 54 year old Mary Ann Johnson left her job as an account representative at department store, Robinsons-May.

No one knew this would be her last moment on record, not even Mary. It was supposed to be a typical day — you know, just another day…but something was different.

Mary Ann was separated from her husband, and told her colleagues that she was supposed to be meeting up with him that day — that Wednesday or sometime during that week. That meeting never happened, according to Andrew.

It was found out that some kind of warning was issued to her a month before. A warning that leaves us with even more questions and curiosity, and if it relates to what happened later. The location in which her belongings were found were odd — and there may be some messaging behind it. In fact, this entire case seems to be a message — a warning, or even an answer to that warning.

For over three decades, Mary’s case was left cold and left us with many unanswered questions, mystery, and tragedy — with very slim details that not even the LAPD could piece together.

We’re going to start with all of what we know about Mary and her life before she went missing, get into the case details, the facts, the warning, and close with my opinion.

A case as cold as this one deserves a fresh start, a new outlook, and answers.

On the cold evening of Monday, January 11, 2010, in Starkville, Mississippi, 26 year old Lester “LJ” Jones, Jr. had set plans to visit his fraternity brothers in Jackson, Mississippi for a regular meet up.

It was supposed to be a typical drive for Lester from Starkville to Jackson. He even stopped passed his mother’s home in Tupelo to visit his brother before his trip to Jackson.

LJ had it all planned out, but something happened somewhere in between. We do know what was supposed to be a quick stop at a local Exxon (now Shell) gas station at the Sprint Mart in Flowood, only 15 minutes away from Jackson, turned to be the last known location of LJ on record. There is footage of him there, but somehow things go dark.

Until, there was an odd discovery, a cell phone found in the men’s restroom. It was an oddity because the phone belonged to LJ, but he had already left the gas station and assumingly en route up the road to Jackson.

After 15 years of questions, mystery, calls, and theories, it makes you question if someone had a hand in this, LJ decided to leave on his own volition, or something else like an accident. Since 2010, there has been no trace left of LJ or his 2002 Ford Expedition — both just vanished.

In 2023, Case Episode 9, I covered a case on Asha Degree who went missing in Shelby, North Carolina on the cold early morning of Monday, February 14, 2000 — Valentines Day.

Well, there has been an update. It has been 25 years since Asha has been last seen.

To give some backstory, nine-year old Asha Degree was last seen by her father after a late night check in on both siblings, Asha and O’Bryant. Asha’s father, Harold, saw both children were sound to sleep in the bedroom that they shared. On the evening before, Sunday, February 13, there was a bad storm with freezing temperatures which may have contributed to a nearby car accident that hit a power pole and knocked the power out. It was a Monday, so in just a few hours they would be up and getting ready for school. However, Asha’s mom, went to wake the children to start getting ready for school at around 6:30am, and she noticed that Asha wasn’t in her bed. O’Bryant later reported hearing some noise from his sister, but by then Asha was already gone — she was nowhere in sight.

On the cold morning of Tuesday, February 23, 2010, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, twenty-five year old Tameka Anderson had set plans to purchase a used vehicle from a private seller.

She had it all figured out with how she was going to get there, how she was going to pay for it, but somewhere in between something happened and things went dark.

It was unclear whether she made it to the end destination to purchase the vehicle or if she even made it to Galvez — the city where the vehicle was.

After fifteen years with no answers and no explanation, it makes you wonder if there is someone out there that holds the answers — you know, street code. Perhaps someone close to her; maybe not wanting to talk because they’ve seen something or know something.

Details about Tameka’s personal life, including their childhood, family dynamics, and behavioral history, are currently unavailable, limiting the scope of this analysis. However, we’re going to look at the facts of the case, retrace the timeline of what we know, look at the case details, breakdown every element to piece together this nearly 20 year mystery, explore the one possibility, and close with my opinion.

On Monday, May 4, 2020, DaVohnte and his girlfriend took a 4 hour road trip from San Francisco to Mount Shasta, California. The trip was supposed to be what you’d call a “spiritual retreat” — a trip that his girlfriend recommended. They were expected to return on the next day, Tuesday, May 5 — just in time for Davohnte to attend his nephew’s birthday party, but that never happened.

Davohnte’s girlfriend contacted his relative, and informed her that they got into an argument and went separate ways. All was fine, one may have thought, until he was seen on camera walking, seemingly normal, then things go dark. It’s like he just vanished.

With odd behaviors from the girlfriend, there’s a high possibility that she may know more than she’s leading on. There’s also a possibility that he fell victim to someone or something in Mount Shasta — especially with the double-sided reputation it holds.

Another chilling case that doesn’t have an explanation and no end in sight, but the answers are there. This wasn’t an ordinary trip, and I’ll explain why. We will get into some details about DaVohnte and who he was before he went missing, the case details, information on the retreat destination and about Mount Shasta, theories, breakdown every detail, and close with my opinion.

When you mix new age spirituality with vulnerability, you may open yourself up to a multitude of things. In this case, I believe the answers are right there but the one who holds the answers just isn’t ready to talk, I believe. Maybe after this, she will be.

On a warm summer morning on Thursday, August 28, 2008 in Prince George's County, Laurel, Maryland, 28 year old Kanika Powell took off work in preparation for a weekend getaway with a new friend to Pride festival in Atlanta. She used that early morning to run some errands and get her car serviced before they both embarked on the 11 hour trip. Upon returning from running her errands, Kanika was gunned down in her apartment hallway, in broad daylight, after experiencing a series of week-long anonymous and odd visitors to her front door. 

You have to wonder, who would want Kanika dead? This was no accident or mistaken identity. In fact, the assailant knew exactly who she was and who to target. 

There were no eyewitnesses, but neighbors heard her voice, smelled the gun powder in the air, and the multiple shots fired that eventually claimed the life of Kanika. 

A chilling case that isn't just what happened, but why…and who. We will get into some details about Kanika and who she was, the case details, the strange unexplainable series of events that led to her violent murder, theories, a possible connection of another murder right in the county, and close with my opinion.

You have to ask yourself, how can a very well educated, Army veteran, who lived a normal life, with a job that required a top security clearance, be targeted and eventually brutally murdered only steps away from her front door?

Sometime in the early morning of Friday, February 3, 2006, in Tallahassee, Florida, 30 year old Ali Gilmore disappeared from her residence at 231 Loraine Court.

Just hours before — that previous day — everything had seemed to be normal. Ali went to work at her day job at the state health department as an analyst, then attended her part time evening job at Publix, as a baker.

We know she made it home, got in bed, was reading her prenatal book because by now she was four months pregnant. Sometime after that things went dark.

It was out of character for her because Ali missed a scheduled appointment with her estranged husband, she didn’t attend work, and things just got quiet. There has been no sign or trace of Ali for 18 years to today.

This case is not what it may seem. Ali had support, she had friends, a husband even through their issues, her parents, but there is something missing. There is a piece of the puzzle that we know is there, but finding the connecting piece is the challenge — a possible motive and a person of interest. I’ll tell you one thing, it wasn’t her husband, James.

On Sunday, December 18, 2011, in Spanish Lake, Missouri, 23 year old Phoenix Coldon disappeared after leaving her driveway on the 12600 block of Countrybrook Drive.

Oddly, hours after she left her home, her 1998 black Chevy Blazer truck was found across state lines in East Saint Louis, Illinois, parked, and seemingly left abandoned with no signs of Phoenix nor any sign of a struggle.

Over the last 13 years from today in 2024, there has been several interviews with her parents, a few sightings that were confirmed to not be Phoenix, but one that was rather questionable from a friend in passing. With that, you also have a strange call to her mother around two months after her disappearance from someone in Beverly Hills, and an interesting discovery that populated soon after Phoenix disappeared that led them to an address. The lead in the other state was so solid that it makes you question everything. It makes you question exactly who Phoenix was, who was around her, and most importantly, what did she need to settle and with who…and where is she today.

My most requested case, with the most convoluted details to the point where nothing is at all what it may seem.

The thing with this case is that there are a number of elements that just doesn’t make sense, but today, we’re going to try to make sense of what we do have. I guarantee that once you silence the public opinion, and actually look at the case from a unique angle with fresh ears and eyes, you may have a difference of opinion of what may have happened.

This case is a convoluted one with full of lies, but I believe the answers aren’t too far away.

Today we will be covering the missing person case of Kelly Allen. This case is the first of our minisode series due to the lack of details on the case. With that, a full case analysis is not possible right now to conduct.

She went missing in Berkeley, MO after attending a job interview. Her moments after are unclear, which has left her family with nearly 20 years of unexplained mystery, until what they thought was and possibly still might be a promising lead — a photo that may indicate something about Kelly or what became of her.

This is where we’re left in the case. No intricate details, no updates, and no closure.

When I look at these cases, it’s just people going about their day. They don’t wake up and know they will be missing. I don’t believe anyone is prepared for that, especially for a case so cold where they’re gone without a trace for nearly 20 years.

We’re going to discuss the public case details that have been reported, the days leading up to her disappearance, and the sighting. We’re going to breakdown every detail and discuss possibilities. A case like this is freezing cold, with hardly any movement, and without any solid details.

On the cold afternoon of Sunday, December 11, 1994, in Livonia, Michigan, four year old D’Wan Sims was reported missing. D’Wan was accompanied by his mom on an afternoon outing at a local mall to do some shopping, but that outing turned grim when he just…seemingly vanished.

No trace of him was ever found. It even brought into question as to was he ever there. Law enforcement performed a heavy search in the mall and surrounding areas. Little D’Wan did receive coverage, but it just didn’t produce any positive or negative outcome. In fact, it left the community of Livonia in mystery and decades of uncertainty.

An innocent child, gone — just vanished. Like I always say, we know someone doesn’t just vanish.

When you look at the facts of the case, it makes you question everything. It makes you question the moments after D’Wan was reported, but it also makes you question what happened before to explain the oddities on the surveillance footage. You will soon see that it’s true that four year old D’Wan Sims was missing, and still is, but you will also see that there is something is missing, something off. There is a missing piece of the puzzle, or possibly a gap in the investigation. Not everything is always what it may seem. Someone knows something, and that someone — our most vital subject, most likely has the answer, but there’s a possibility, as dark as this may sound, that it was taken to the grave.
