Without a Trace

In November of 2023, a 35-year old stormed out of his house after a heated argument with his husband. Over the next 16 months, massive searches were conducted and accusations spread across social media. But no real leads emerged … until March of 2025 when a body was located just a few blocks away from his home.

In May of 2024, a loving mother of four vanished without a trace. No one seemed to be able to account for her whereabouts - even after her truck was found abandoned in a deserted location. The public quickly turned their attention to her husband after learning about ongoing domestic violence in their relationship. Her case is now being investigated as a homicide, though no remains have been located.

In December of 2015, a bright 18-year-old was excited for her future in cosmetology, she just needed one thing to make her dream come true - her high school diploma that was back at her mom’s house. She planned a quick trip to spend time with loved ones and obtain her diploma. Everything seemed normal until it came time for her to fly back home. She missed her flight and hasn’t been seen or heard from since. The last person to see her alive is believed to hold the answers but he refuses to cooperate with police.

On February 4th, 2017, a mother and daughter went missing under suspicious circumstances. Both went missing from their home on the same day, but at different times.

An Arizona rancher found a crashed vehicle in a desert ravine near Buckeye in June 2021. Inside the crashed car, officials found the driver's wallet, phone and keys, yet no trace of the driver has been found. Officials determined that the car belonged to a 24-year-old geologist who worked at a nearby job site. It made sense why he was in the area, but what didn't make sense was why he had seemingly sped up and crashed into a random ravine. Law enforcement initially ruled out foul play, but the lack of a body after the crash left many questions, especially from the missing man's father.

On May 24, 2019, a Connecticut mother of five, went missing after returning home from dropping her children off at school.

And while for some, the case seems solved, her whereabouts remain unknown.

“Go no farther. There is nothing in this cave worth dying for”. Those were the words printed on the sign at the entrance of an underwater cave in Vortex Spring. Despite this warning, many divers fail to heed these words, including Ben McDaniel. On August 18, 2010, Ben ventured into the cave only to never surface again. His disappearance has left many confused as even the most experienced divers could not recover Ben’s body.

A 14-year-old boy with perfect attendance and excellent grades, decided to skip school and take an hour and a half train ride to the capital.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, when terrorists hijacked four planes and crashed into the World Trade Center, a 35-year-old mother of four vanished from their rural home in upstate New York. In 2005, police charged her husband with her murder. He proceeded to be tried four times over the next 11 years, in two counties, with five judges from four different counties presiding and three appellate courts hearing the case. He was ultimately found innocent, something he had maintained over the years. With no other leads to turn to, police are no closer to solving her missing persons case.

During the early morning hours of June 30, 2002, a text was received from a 21-year-old Indigenous woman who was last seen getting into a vehicle with a young man she met earlier that evening. The text read, “come get me, they won’t let me leave”. Unfortunately, she was never found. Rumors swirled that she was killed by a group of people in a snuff film. The person that gave her a ride that fateful night has not provided answers and no one has been charged in relation to her disappearance.
