  • The Silent Son: The Disappearance of Macin Smith
    Jan 16 2026

    On September 1, 2015, 17-year-old Macin Smith walked out of his St. George, Utah home, presumably heading for the school bus. He never arrived at school, and he never came home. Left behind in his bedroom were the very things most teens can't live without: his cell phone, his laptop, and his wallet. But tucked away in that wallet was a folded note that would change everything - a note with a message so heavy it left his family questioning if they ever truly knew their "silent son." Was Macin running away from a strict household, or was he walking toward something much darker? We dive into the sightings, the theories, and the desperate search for Macin Smith.

    A routine business trip to Philadelphia turned into a nightmare when Judy Smith disappeared in 1997.

  • Vanishing in Vermont: The Mysterious Case of Brianna Maitland
    Dec 19 2025

    Brianna Maitland's disappearance is more than a cold case. It is a story about the fragility of life, the unpredictability of fate, and the spirit of a family searching for answers. A young woman's routine evening, the drive to work, the gestures of independence, the ordinary interactions of a 17-year-old, was abruptly shattered, leaving a mystery that has haunted Vermont for decades. The series of events that surrounded her tell a story of a life interrupted, a journey halted, and a world left uncertain. Every eyewitness account, every tip, every unverified sighting contributes to the puzzle, yet no piece has resolved it. Somewhere, someone knows the truth. Somewhere, there may be a fragment of memory, a whisper of a conversation, a detail overlooked, that can finally bring closure. Until that day, Brianna Maitland’s story remains a haunting mystery, a life interrupted, and a question left echoing across the quiet roads of Vermont.

  • A Mother's Fight: Where is Jody Ledkins?
    Dec 5 2025

    Jody Ledkins was last seen walking northbound on Winchester Avenue at 14th Street the evening she disappeared. She left without money or extra clothes, seemingly just needing a ride home. This episode dives into the immediate aftermath of her phone call with her mother and subsequent fight her mother endured to get police to take her daughter's disappearance seriously. Was this a runaway case or was it something far more sinister from the start?

  • Vanished in the Middle of Nowhere: The Case of Brian Swanson
    Nov 21 2025

    A stranded college student, a confused conversation in the dark, and one final, chilling exclamation before the phone call ends forever. The 2008 disappearance of Brandon Swanson remains one of Minnesota's most perplexing cold cases. What happened in those final moments on that desolate road?


    NOTE: There are many inconsistencies over the make/model and even color of Brandon's car. We are reporting a white Chevy Lumina, though this may be incorrect.

  • Alone in the Dark: The Disappearance of Cindy Song
    Nov 7 2025

    When a young Penn State college student goes missing after a costume party on Halloween night, everyone on campus is in a state of panic. But police have very little to go on until a tip comes in from an eyewitness who may have seen a young girl, matching Cindy's description, get abducted. Was this young woman Cindy Song, or was it one of several twists and turns that have managed to keep police on their toes for all these years? With one particular suspect in the back pockets of those investigating Cindy's case, they must first decide if what they hold on to this suspect is too far-fetched, even for the evilest of all killers, or will it lead them to finding Cindy?
