When 28-year-old Jennifer Harris went missing on Mother’s Day in 2002, rumors swirled in the small town of Bonham, Texas. All eyes were on two men…one was her ex-boyfriend and business partner, and the other was her ex-husband, who she’d recently started seeing again.

But nearly 23 years later, between odd witness statements, missing evidence, and a pretty strong conflict of interest, Bonham residents and Jennifer’s family are left baffled and frustrated by her case.

Anyone with information about Jennifer’s case is asked to contact the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office at 903-583-2143 or her family’s teams at [email protected].

She was last seen at 11th Street and College Avenue wearing black pants, a white tank top, and a white blouse. She is white with blonde hair and blue eyes.

22-year-old Vladek Hasel is a well-known figure in his community. Local shopkeepers, employees, police officers, and countless other residents knew him well. Vladek is approachable and outgoing, always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone and genuinely interested in learning about their lives. He is the kind of person who, after hearing a server’s story of struggling, would leave a $500 tip—while heading back to his own apartment to sleep on a deflated air mattress.

However, in the Fall of 2021, something changed. Vladek began voicing fears for his safety. He went so far as to buy a knife and ask a friend if he could borrow a gun and then he disappeared.

Bryan Vladek Hasel was 22 years old when he went missing from the Orlando, Florida, area in November 2021. The exact date of his disappearance is unknown. He is white, 5’8” with blond to light brown hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he weighed approximately 210 lbs. He was born in Russia but does not have an accent.

If you have any information, please contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Missing Persons Unit at 407-254-7000 or call 911. You can also contact his family directly at [email protected].

14-year-old Emily Pike went missing from her group home in Mesa, Arizona on January 27, 2025. Her remains were found on February 14, 2025, off Highway 60 North near Milepost 277 on Forest Service Road #355, just east of Globe, Arizona. Her case didn’t garner much attention until the Gila County Sheriff’s Office leaked an internal memo describing the horrific way she was found. Her case has since sparked outrage and demand for reform in cases of missing and murdered indigenous persons.

Emily was a Native American female from the San Carlos Apache Tribe. She had brown hair, brown eyes, was 4’10” and weighed 115lbs. She was last seen wearing a pink and gray shirt. Anyone with information is urged to call the Gila County Sheriff’s Office Detective at 928-200-2352, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Special Agent at 505-917-7830 or the San Carlos Apache Tribal Police Detective at 928-475-1755. You can also submit a tip anonymously at Tips.FBI.GOV.

To learn more about the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous people, I highly recommend listening to the many excellent podcasts created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Connie Walker. You can learn more at conniewalker.com.
