Watching ID

Missing in Maui: A Disappeared Special on Investigation Discovery tells the story of the family of Carly Joann Scott, a 27-year old woman who went missing on the island of Maui on February 9th, 2014. Disappeared is one of our favorite ID shows, and this did not disappoint. The show really does a good job of bringing us into the beautiful and unforgiving island as we learn about who “Charli” is and what happened to her on a dark and lonely road.

A missing person? Check. A murder? Check. Stellar police work? Well…

In this, the finale of Gone, we ask ourselves if we are being overly critical or are most of these cases prolonged due to less than stellar investigatory work.

Charlotte Moriarty and her infant son disappeared from a Hawaiian bus stop in June 1977, leaving behind only an empty stroller.  Mark Barnes, Charlotte’s live-in boyfriend and the father of their baby, Marx, would search for them for over 30 years before being reunited with his son.  But what became of Charlotte?  This episode of Gone leaves us wondering just that. This is a case where police were either unaware or unconcerned for the first 3 weeks after the disappearance.  Do you believe police or Mark Barnes’ story about when the disappearance was reported?  Is it safe to assume that Charlotte doesn’t want to be found?

When teenagers Cheryl Miller and Pam Jackson disappeared on the first night of summer 1971, everyone who knew them was shocked and baffled.  These were good girls with no reason to run away from home.  They had been paid from their jobs that day and never cashed their paychecks.  With repeated searches, false leads, and emotional ups and downs, no one could have predicted that it would take four decades to solve this mystery.

After watching this episode of Gone on Investigation Discovery, Jill and Dick discuss the heartfelt tales of people who knew the girls and the long years spent without answers. This seems like another case of inadequate searches and poor police work.  Is this a theme with this show?  We will find out next week.
