On December 6, 1997, 33-year-old LaVon Jo Miller was last seen in Marmaduke, a small town where people believe they know one another—and where disappearances are supposed to be rare.

According to her husband, LaVon returned home that day after visiting a friend. At some point, he fell asleep on the couch. When he woke up, she was gone. He would later say he never saw her again. In the days that followed, someone reportedly came back to the home and took money and clothing. What happened in those missing hours—and in the days after—remains unclear.

LaVon left behind two children. Her life, by all outward appearances, simply stopped. Years later, when her husband died in 2011, her name was not mentioned in his obituary.

In this episode of The Lost Girls, Amy Smith and LaDonna Humphrey examine the details that don’t sit right. They walk through the timeline, the silence, and the questions that have lingered for nearly three decades. Was this a voluntary disappearance, or something far more troubling? Who returned to that home—and why?
