In 2009, Claudia Lawrence lived in the idyllic city of York in North Yorkshire, England. At 35 years old, she seemed to have a great routine going for her. She worked as a chef at the University of York’s Goodricke College Roger Kirk Center, about two miles from her home.

Every day, she woke up, went to work, and came home. Several nights a week, she met her regular group of friends at her favorite pub, The Nag’s Head, which was only four doors down from her two-story townhome. She kept a routine so tight that some likened it to the film “Groundhog Day.”

But this routine was interrupted on March 19, 2009, when she seemingly stood up her best friend Suzy Cooper for a night at the Nag’s Head. But Suzy knew this was not like Claudia. Then Suzy found out Claudia hadn’t shown up for work that day either. Suzy says she could have never imagined that her best friend would go missing or that the media pressure she and Claudia’s family craved for her would quickly turn on them.

If you have any information about Claudia Lawrence and are in Yorkshire, call 101 for the non-emergency police line. If you are calling from abroad, dial +44 1904 933043.

In the early morning of February 17, 2018, Ryan Shtuka attended a house party on Burfield Drive in Sun Peaks, British Columbia, Canada. What happened after the party is unclear, but it's believed he started walking toward his home, a short distance away. While Ryan was familiar with this walk, the weather was very cold, and there was heavy snowfall at that time.

Ryan didn't make it home, and his supervisor became concerned when he didn't show up for work that morning. Ryan was later reported missing, and an intense search began immediately. Despite these efforts, little is known about what happened to Ryan after that party.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kamloops Rural RCMP at 250-314- 1800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

In March 1986, Denise Pflum really had it all. She was at the top of her senior class at Connersville High School in Indiana, in leadership positions in several clubs, and a member of the National Honor Society. She’d been accepted into her college of choice, and it was her last spring break before graduating.

When Denise suddenly goes missing, her father’s cousin is assigned to her case. The Pflums let out a sigh of relief, knowing that someone who knows Denise and cares for her is on the case.

But over 30 years later, the case remains unsolved, and the same rumors about how the investigation was handled and who may have been responsible are still swirling.

18-year-old Denise Pflum was last seen at about 12:30 pm on Friday, March 28th, 1986, at her home in Connersville, Indiana. She is white with brown hair and brown eyes and is 5’6”. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed approximately 135lbs and was wearing striped jeans, a Motley Crue t-shirt, and old sneakers.

Anyone with information is asked to call The Fayette County Sheriff’s Department at (765) 825-1110 or the Indiana State Police at (765) 778-2121.

12-year-old Celina Mays went missing from her home in Willingboro, New Jersey, on December 16, 1996. Celina was reported missing, but her disappearance wasn’t really treated as a potential crime by her family or local law enforcement. In fact, it took days for police to find out perhaps the most important detail – 12-year-old Celina was pregnant and due in only two weeks.

Now, it’s been over 25 years, and Celina is still missing. But what they’ve found out about her life leading up to that day paints a dark, sinister picture of what her fate could have been.

Anyone with information about Celina Mays is asked to call The Willingboro Police at 609-877-3001 or NCMEC at 1-800-TheLost.

On Friday, February 22, 1985, in Winfield Township, Pennsylvania, 8-year-old Cherrie Mahan looked forward to attending her friend Jennifer’s 10th birthday party after school. The final bell rang for her third-grade class, and Cherrie headed to her school bus to get home and get ready for the party. At about 4:10 pm, Cherrie and three of her classmates get off the bus at their regular stop on Cornplanter Road, just around the corner from Cherrie’s home. All her friends make it home, but not Cherrie.

Cherrie’s disappearance sparked the creation of the ‘Have you seen me?’ program from The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. But despite this groundbreaking program that has brought thousands of children home, Cherrie remains missing. Investigators are left with a lot of sightings of Cherrie over the years and one very distinct van that they are still trying to track down nearly 40 years later.

Cherrie was last wearing Cabbage Patch Kids earmuffs, a gray coat, a white leotard, a blue denim skirt, blue leg warmers, and beige boots. Her ears are pierced, and she has a dog bite scar on her left arm. At the time of her disappearance, she was 4’2” tall and weighed about 68 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. As of the recording of this episode, she would be in her late 40s.

If you have any information on the circumstances surrounding Cherrie’s disappearance, please call the Pennsylvania State Police Missing Persons Unit at 717-783-5524 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS.
