Four year old Tristen Myers walked out of his home and disappeared into thin air. Despite massive searches and appeals on television shows and nationwide media, there has never been a trace of the child found. Days after he vanished, the two dogs he had taken with him returned inexplicably, but Tristen was gone.

What became of the four year old, did he fall victim to something in the wilderness, was he a victim of abduction or does the answer lie closer to home?

Thirty year old Paige Renkoski had plans to drop her mother at the airport, visit a friend and then return home, but she never made it back. After her visit, everything normal about her day disappeared and her case became truly bizarre.

For reasons unknown she parked her car along i96 where she was later seen talking to an unknown man and possibly two others. Hours later her car was found idling in that same spot and left behind was her purse and shoes. What became of Paige remains a haunting mystery that her family and law enforcement struggle to understand.

UPDATED: July, 2025 - Possible person of interest identified, similar crime committed.

Forty-Seven year old Australian Paul Stevenson took his prized motorcycle out for an early morning ride. He’d done this countless times before but this time he didn’t return. After extensive searching, police were able to locate his motorcycle and helmet, but no signs of Paul.

The bike was found at the bottom of an embankment, minor damage but nothing to suggest an accident. No skid marks, no blood, and for eight years now the police and his family have struggled to discover the truth. What happened to Paul Stevenson and why did he never come home?

Sixteen year old Lashaya Stine snuck out of her families home during the early morning hours of Friday, July 15th, 2016. She never returned. Over the years her family and police have received multiple tips about Lashaya possibly having been forced into sex trafficking.

While witnesses claim to have seen Lashaya, and others claim to know her assailant, Lashaya has yet to be found and her captor has never been directly identifies. If indeed Lashaya has been trafficked, as authorities believe, there is a chance she is still out there and someone may hold the key to bringing her home.

Sixteen year old Hannah Truelove had her whole life ahead of her, but it was all taken in a night of madness. On August 23rd, 2012, Hannah was reported missing when she failed to return home. Police initiated a search but a heavy rainstorm delayed their efforts. Less than twenty-four hours later, Hannah’s body was found a quarter mile from her home, in the woods surrounding the apartment complex.

Mysterious tweets in the days leading up to her murder led many to speculate that Hannah may have known she was in danger. After investigating, police told the media that they believed Hannah knew her killer. Who it could have been, no one could guess, and for the past eight years, Hannah’s killer has remained at large.

Keith Reinhard was looking to start a new adventure in life. As he approached middle age he wanted to achieve some of the dreams he’d missed out and one of those dreams involved writing a novel. On the advice of a friend he took a leave of absence from work and went down to Silver Plume, Colorado, a small isolated town sure to promise the peace and quiet he sought.

Silver Plume, though, didn’t provide as much inspiration as he’d imagined until he learned the story of Tom Young, the man who had rented out the same building Keith did. Young vanished one afternoon, and Keith thought this would be a great story to write. However, Keith was soon overwhelmed by the mystery and would eventually become a part of it.

One afternoon, Keith set off for the dense forests and mountains surrounding Silver Plume. He never returned and what was left behind was an enduring mystery that continues to haunt his family and the people of Silver Plume to this day.

On September 5th, 1998, nineteen year old Brianne Wolgram left her home in Revelstoke, British Columbia, to pick up a friend. She never returned. Searches for Brianne turned up nothing for days until her car was found abandoned on a logging road in the middle of the mountains. There was no trace of Brianne.

When last seen, Brianne was in the company of three mysterious women who have never been identified. One witness reported seeing a female on the road near Brianne’s car the day after she vanished but that woman’s identity has never been ascertained.

For twenty-two years, Brianne’s family and law enforcement have sought the answers to this enduring mystery and to this day none of the three women seen with her that night have ever been identified or come forward with information.

There is a GoFundMe accepting donations for a reward for information in Brianne’s case. You can contribute here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/find-brianne-wolgram
