Suzanne Morphew was reported missing from Maysville, Colorado, on May 10, 2020, Mother’s Day. Her bicycle was found at the bottom of a ravine that evening.

As friends came forward and investigators learned more about Suzanne, the investigation pointed in one direction— to Suzanne’s husband Barry Morphew, who claims the two had a “perfect” marriage. Meanwhile, Suzanne was secretly documenting abuse and, by her friend’s accounts, preparing to leave him and start a new life.

In a case that appeared to be open and shut, a DNA sample found in Suzanne’s car put the prosecution’s entire case in jeopardy, and some suspect that those involved with the prosecution were corrupt from the start.

After three long years, Suzanne’s body was found on September 22, 2023, in a location that wasn’t even on detectives’ radar, leaving them to reinvestigate Suzanne’s entire case.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is asking anyone with information about Suzanne’s disappearance to email [email protected] or call the tip line at 719-312-7530.

Sometime between October 3rd and October 4th, 2011, 10-month-old Lisa Irwin went missing from her home in Kansas City, Missouri. Lisa's parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley reported that their daughter had gone missing from her crib at around 4 am on October 4th, 2011.

The circumstances surrounding Lisa's disappearance raised many questions and a lot of speculation. The parents claimed they discovered her missing when Jeremy Irwin returned home from work late at night. The family's home showed no signs of forced entry, but the front door was unlocked. Deborah Bradley has also admitted to consuming alcohol on the night of the disappearance, which added complexity to the investigation.

However, three witnesses reported seeing a strange man in the area that night carrying a baby who appeared to be wearing just a diaper despite the cold weather. One witness picked local handyman, John Tanko, out of a lineup. While Tanko was cleared, his connection to a mysterious phone call allegedly made from one of the stolen cell phones continued to perplex followers of Lisa’s case.

Despite media coverage and public interest, the case remained unresolved, and Baby Lisa Irwin's whereabouts remain unknown.

Lisa is white, and at the time of her disappearance, she had blond hair, blue eyes, and was about 30 inches tall with two just bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear, and a beauty mark on her right outer thigh. It is worth noting that she was sick with a cold at the time and was last seen wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with white kittens on it.

There is still a $100,000 reward in this case, and if you do have any information, you can call the Kansas City Police Department at 816-234-5136 or e-mail [email protected].

On Deanna Cremin's 17th birthday, in March 1995, her mother gave her what most teenagers in the 90s coveted: her very own pager. Deanna was a typical teenager; she would skip class, sneak the occasional beer or cigarette, and she enjoyed spending time with her long-term boyfriend. But she was also very responsible. She had a job at the local supermarket and just finished training to become a cashier; she also babysat for many families in her neighborhood and even hosted some children’s programming on her local community access TV station.

Deanna was finishing her junior year at Somerville High School in Massachusetts, and her future looked bright. While she wasn’t entirely sure what she wanted to do after, many believe she would have worked with kids.

On March 29, just a few days after her 17th birthday, she turned in an assignment outlining the top 5 most important goals for her life.

1.    Graduate high school

2.    To find a successful job that I enjoy

3.    To have a dark green convertible mustang

4.    To have a happy family

5.    To live a long time, healthy

Under this, she’s asked to choose which one of these five goals is the most important, and Deanna chose number 5, to live a long and healthy life.

That night, Deanna went to her boyfriend's apartment after school like she normally did. A few hours later, she called her mom to tell her she was going to miss her 10 pm curfew so they could finish watching TV together, but she’d be home later.

By midnight, Deanna hadn’t made it home. And when her mother paged her, Deanna never called her back. It wasn’t until the next morning that she got the news…Deanna had been found by two of the kids she babysat; she’d been strangled to death and sexually assaulted less than half a mile from her home.

Despite big promises from authorities about getting Deanna justice, it’s been almost 30 years with no answers.

Deanna Cremin was 17 years old when she was killed on or about March 29, 1995, in Somerville, Massachusetts. If you have information about Deanna’s murder, you can call the tip line at 617-544-7167. You can also text tips anonymously to the Somerville Police Department at 874411.

It was late September 2023 when Chelsea Grimm, a 32-year-old woman from San Diego, California, embarked on a cross-country trip to Connecticut for a wedding. However, after a few days on the road, she only managed to reach Phoenix, Arizona. After calling her parents, Janet and Stephen Grimm, she realized that the trip was too ambitious for her to make alone. Instead of going back home, Chelsea decided to spend a few days camping in Arizona before heading back. She warned her parents that she would be in areas without cell service and not to worry if they couldn't reach her.

Several days passed, and Chelsea's parents hadn't heard from her, so they reported her missing on October 4th. The next day, Chelsea's abandoned vehicle was found on a dirt road with two flat tires. It was locked, and her belongings, including her phone, wallet, tent, sleeping bag, and her beloved pet bearded dragon, were missing.

Initially, Chelsea's parents and investigators thought that she might have gone camping, but as they dug deeper, they found out that several things had happened between the last time Chelsea spoke to her parents. For instance, Chelsea had an encounter with the local sheriff's office, and she tried to pay for a hotel room using Euros, stating that she wanted to stay off the grid.

Chelsea Grimm was last seen on September 30, 2023, northeast of Ash Fork, Arizona. She is a white female with light brown or blondish hair and blue eyes. She is 5’8”, weighs approximately 115-135lbs, and has a tattoo of a vine with leaves on it on her left forearm. Her 2019 White Ford Escape SUV has been recovered.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Coconino Sheriff’s Office at 928-774-4523.For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com

On March 31, 2006, 27-year-old Brian Shaffer went out with his friend Clint for a night of barhopping in Columbus, Ohio. At around 1:55 a.m., Brian was seen talking to two women outside the Ugly Tuna Saloona. Two minutes later, he walked back towards the entrance of the bar.

According to Clint and another friend named Meredith, they last saw Brian when he said he wanted to talk to the band and went back inside the bar. They say that they couldn’t find him after this. Before leaving, Clint and Meredith tried calling Brian, but his phone went straight to voicemail, so they went home.

Two days later, Brian was reported missing by his father. And I think what happened next is why Brian Shaffer’s case is so puzzling. When police reviewed surveillance footage from the Ugly Tuna Saloona, they saw Brian leave the bar, speak to the two people, and re-enter the bar. But there was no video of Brian leaving the bar again.  

To this day, police still don’t know what happened to Brian that night. There are countless theories about what happened that night, but very few answers.

At the time of his disappearance, Brian Shaffer was 27 years old, 6’2”, 160 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing an olive green short-sleeved polo shirt with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, blue jeans, Adidas sneakers, and a yellow cancer awareness bracelet. He has a dot on the iris of his left eye and a tattoo of the Pearl Jam symbol on his upper right bicep.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Columbus Division of Police at 614-645-2358.

On May 1st, 2002, 24-year-old Evelyn Hernandez was pregnant with her second son and only a week from her due date. That morning, Evelyn called one of her sisters, then dropped Alex off at pre-school, ran a few errands, picked Alex back up, and ended the night by talking to her other sister about her upcoming baby shower.

it wasn’t an easy pregnancy for Evelyn. She had worked as a vocational nurse, at Costco, and the Clift Hotel in San Francisco’s Union Square but eventually suffered complications with her pregnancy and was on disability by the end of it. On top of that, when she was about four months pregnant, she discovered that the father of her child, 36-year-old Herman Aguilera, was hiding a huge secret from her… he was married to another woman.  

However, Evelyn was somehow juggling all her responsibilities and holding it all together. She was planning for the baby shower and even had a name picked out for the new baby, Fernando. But after Evelyn hangs up with her sister… as Evelyn’s due date approaches… she stops answering phone calls and stops taking Alex to school.

About a week after that phone call with her sister, on May 7th, Evelyn’s due date, Herman Aguilera reported her and Alex missing to the police. Then, just a few weeks later, in July, Evelyn's remains were discovered in the San Francisco Bay. She had been murdered. Unfortunately, her unborn son and Alex have not been found, and the case remains unsolved.

Evelyn and Alex Hernandez were last heard from around 9 p.m. on May 1, 2002, in San Francisco. Evelyn’s partial remains were found on July 24, 2002, in the San Francisco Bay. She was 24 years old when she was murdered and had brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, five-year-old Alexis, or Alex as he was more commonly known, was four feet tall, weighed 45 pounds, and had brown hair, and brown eyes. He may also go by Alex Hernandez-Repollet.

Today, I’m joined by Laurah Norton to discuss the case of Susan Lund and the nearly 30-year journey to identify her. Laurah worked for years to help identify Susan with an incredible team of experts, but her case is still in need of justice.

According to Paul Lund, On Christmas Eve, 1992, his 25-year-old wife, Susan Lund, went missing on a walk to the grocery store to buy ingredients for their family’s holiday dinner. He reported her missing not long after.

About a month later, near the end of January 1993, Susan’s partial remains were found near Ina, Illinois, in Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park. Unfortunately, Susan remained unidentified for decades and was only known as Ina Jane Doe. In a strange twist of fate, not long after she went missing, Susan’s case was closed after a mysterious woman came forward and identified herself as Susan.

Susan’s children spent decades believing she may have intentionally left them and never chose to reach out again.

But in early 2021, Dr. Amy Michael, assistant professor of anthropology at The University of New Hampshire, along with writer, researcher, and host Laurah Norton, were approved by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office to reexamine the case.

Through their journey, they worked with a variety of experts to correct misconceptions about Ina Jane Doe. When the genealogists at Redgrave Research joined the efforts, they finally identified her as Susan Lund in 2022.

Laurah Norton recently chronicled this incredible journey along with the science behind it in her upcoming book, Lay Them to Rest. So, I invited her on the show to discuss her book, Susan’s case, the inner workings behind doing this type of work, and, of course, how you can help.

If you have any information about Susan Lund, please call The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 618-242-TIPS.

On May 25, 1989, 44-year-old Cindy James disappeared from Richmond, British Columbia, in Canada. Immediately, Cindy’s friends and family were worried for her safety because, for about seven years, she had suffered almost 100 incidents of harassment from a stalker. These incidents ranged from threatening phone calls and letters to physical attacks that almost killed Cindy.

Searches for Cindy began immediately. Then, two weeks later, Cindy’s body was found in the yard of an abandoned house around a mile from where she was last seen. She’d been drugged and strangled. 

After a month of investigating, police concluded that Cindy had completed suicide in an elaborate ruse staged to look like a murder. They further alleged that she’d faked all the incidents of harassment over the years. But Cindy’s family and many experts disagree. 

Anyone with information about Cindy James is urged to contact the RCMP tip line at 1800-222-8477.
