117: MISSING: The Springfield Three (00:57:54)
At around 2:15 am on June 7, 1992, 18-year-old Stacy McCall and 19-year-old Suzie Streeter returned to Suzie’s home in Springfield, Missouri after a night of graduation celebrations. Suzie’s mother, Sherill Levitt, was already inside.
Hours later, at 8:00 am, a friend called to finalize their plans for the day, but no one answered. When she went to the house, Stacy, Suzie, and Sherill’s cars were all in the driveway, their purses and belongings were inside, and the dog was there - but Sherill, Suzie, and Stacy were gone.
Detectives quickly determined they had been abducted. An exhaustive investigation followed, with nonstop media attention. Despite this, no sign of the women was ever found.
Thirty-three years later, Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall are still missing, and the question remains: what happened to the Springfield Three?
**If you have any information in this case, please call the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810 or Crime Stoppers at 417-869-8477. There is a $43,000 reward available.**

116: MURDER: Suzanne Jovin (00:50:40)
On the night of December 4, 1998, 21-year-old Yale senior Suzanne Jovin left her apartment to return a carpool key to the campus police office. She told a classmate she planned to go home afterward and get some rest.
Just over 30 minutes later, Suzanne was found stabbed to death nearly two miles away on a street corner in a wealthy neighborhood. Detectives determined she could not have walked there in the time available, leading them to believe she had been driven to the location by someone she knew.
Despite multiple investigative efforts, that person has never been identified and no one has ever been charged with Suzanne’s murder. More than 25 years later, her case remains unsolved, and the question still lingers: who killed Suzanne Jovin?
**21-year-old Suzanne Jovin was last seen around 9:25 p.m. on December 4, 1998, walking near Phelps Gate on Yale’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut.
Anyone with information about Suzanne’s case is asked to contact the Jovin Investigation Team Tip Line at 866-623-8058 or email jovin.case@ct.gov. There is a $150,000 reward available.**

115: MISSING: Tracy Ocasio (00:42:48)
On May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio spent the night watching the Orlando Magic game at one of her favorite bars in Orlando, Florida. She told her mother she’d be home afterward, but she never returned.
The next morning, Tracy didn’t answer her phone, and by that evening, her yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned just a few miles from her house - unlocked, with none of her belongings inside.
But Tracy was nowhere to be found.
Sixteen years later, she is still missing, leaving her community asking the same question: where is Tracy Ocasio?
*On the night of May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio watched the Orlando Magic game at the Tap Room in Orlando, Florida and left around 1:30 a.m. She never made it home, and her mother discovered she was missing the next morning.
That evening, Tracy’s yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned a few miles from her house, with no sign of Tracy and none of her belongings inside. Surveillance footage later confirmed she left the bar with James “Jimmy” Hataway, who became the primary suspect.
Despite extensive searches, Tracy has never been found. Her case remains open, and Jimmy has never been charged in connection with her disappearance.

114: MURDER: Toby Beaugh (00:46:41)
In the early morning hours of February 25, 2006, 29-year-old Toby Beaugh and his wife of ten months, Melissa, were walking home after celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Just blocks from their house, a black pickup truck nearly hit them at an intersection, then circled back to wait on the next street. When Toby stepped forward to cross, the driver slammed on the gas, striking him head-on before speeding away into the night.
Toby was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His death was ruled a homicide, however, detectives were never able to identify the driver.
Nearly twenty years later, his case remains unsolved, and the question still lingers: who murdered Toby Beaugh?

112: Ellen Greenberg (Part 3) (01:07:03)
On January 26, 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg left work early when a snowstorm hit Philadelphia. She stopped for gas on her way home, then spent the afternoon grading papers in the apartment she shared with her fiancé, Sam.
That evening, Sam called 911 to report that he had found Ellen in the kitchen with a knife in her chest. She had been stabbed twenty times, including multiple wounds to the back of her head and neck.
At first, the Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide. But weeks later, the ruling was changed to suicide, shocking many.
Ellen’s parents have spent more than a decade fighting that decision, convinced their daughter didn’t take her own life, and that the truth about what happened to her is still being covered up.

109: MISSING: Baby Lisa Irwin (00:54:37)
At around 3:45 a.m. on October 4, 2011, Jeremy Irwin came home from a late-night electrical job to find the front door unlocked and the lights still on inside his Kansas City home. As he walked through the house, turning off lights and checking on his children, he made a chilling discovery - his nearly eleven-month-old daughter, Lisa, was gone.
Lisa had been last seen the night before, at around 6:40 p.m., when her mother, Deborah Bradley, said she put her to bed in her crib. Within those nine hours, Lisa vanished without a trace.
In the days that followed, detectives found burned baby clothes in a nearby dumpster, and multiple people reported seeing a man walking with a baby in the middle of the night near the Irwin home. But Lisa was never found.
More than fourteen years later, her disappearance remains one of Kansas City’s most haunting unsolved cases, leaving everyone asking: what happened to Baby Lisa ?
If anyone has information about this case, please call Kansas City CrimeStoppers at 1-816-474-8477. There is a $100,000 reward available.

108: MISSING: Amber Wilde (01:01:24)
On September 23, 1998, 19-year-old Amber Wilde, a college student who was four and a half months pregnant, called her father after getting into a minor car accident near the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay.
Later that evening, she spoke to him one last time from her apartment landline, but the next day she never showed up for class or a doctor’s appointment.
A week later, her car was found abandoned near Lambeau Field, with her keys inside and her purse locked in the trunk. But Amber was nowhere to be found.
More than twenty-seven years later, Amber’s disappearance remains unsolved. Detectives believe she was murdered, but without her body, they’ve never been able to prove it. Her family is still searching, waiting for the answers that will finally bring Amber home.

107: MURDER: The Florence Salon Murders (00:37:47)
At 11:00 a.m. on November 6, 2001, a customer arrived at the Hair Gallery salon in Florence, Montana, for her appointment with owner Dorothy Harris. As she walked up, she noticed a man in a dark suit and a hat - described as either a fedora or a stovepipe - in front of the salon.
She didn’t think much of it until she stepped inside and discovered a horrific scene. Dorothy, her employee Brenda Patch, and their customer Cynthia Paulus had all been brutally murdered.
When investigators heard about the man in the hat, they believed he was likely the killer. But despite multiple sketches and an intensive search, he has never been identified. More than 20 years later, the murders of Dorothy, Brenda, and Cynthia remain unsolved, and investigators are still searching for the person, or people, responsible.
If you have any information in this case, please call the Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office at (406) 363-3033.

106: MISSING: Niqui McCown (00:46:40)
On July 22, 2001, 28-year-old Niqui McCown went to do laundry in Richmond, Indiana, just weeks before her wedding day. After finishing her laundry, she planned to go home and work on wedding invitations, but she never made it back.
The next morning, her fiancé reported her missing. For months there was no trace of her, until November, when her SUV was found abandoned in Dayton, Ohio, with her clean laundry still folded inside. But Niqui was nowhere to be found.
More than twenty years later, Niqui’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family is still searching, holding onto hope that one day they will finally learn the truth and bring her home.

104: MURDER: Dana MacKay and Mary Huffman (00:42:51)
On October 2, 1993, 37-year-old Dana MacKay and 49-year-old Mary Huffman were found murdered inside their Las Vegas home. The couple had been shot at close range, likely just after returning home from grocery shopping. The only thing missing from the house was a manila folder filled with important documents.
The Vegas community was shocked by the double homicide. The couple was well-known around town: Dana was America’s first Elvis impersonator, and Mary had once been crowned Mrs. Nevada. It was hard to believe they’d been murdered in their home, known as Mini Graceland.
But despite the initial attention their case received, it quickly went cold. More than thirty years later, their murders are still unsolved and the question remains: who killed Dana and Mary?
37-year-old Dana MacKay and 49-year-old Mary Huffman were found murdered inside their Las Vegas home, known as Mini Graceland, on October 2, 1993. They had been shot several times at close range, likely just after returning home from grocery shopping on September 30. While one room appeared ransacked, cash and jewelry were left behind. The only thing missing was Dana’s manila folder, which contained personal and business records.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Las Vegas Metro Police Homicide Section at 702-828-3521.

103: MISSING: Bryce Laspisa (00:52:28)
On the night of August 28, 2013, 19-year-old college sophomore Bryce Laspisa left his apartment near Sacramento, California, and began driving south toward his parents’ home in Orange County. But he never made it there.
In the early morning hours of August 30, Bryce’s SUV was found wrecked at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. His wallet, duffel bag, laptop, and phone were all recovered. But Bryce himself was gone.
Despite massive searches, no trace of him has ever been found. It’s been twelve years since Bryce vanished, and his disappearance remains one of California’s most haunting mysteries.
19-year-old Bryce Laspisa was last heard from at 2:08 a.m. on August 30, 2013, when he told his mother he was too tired to drive and planned to sleep in his car.
At 5:30 a.m., his Toyota Highlander was found at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. Tracking dogs followed his scent across the dam and toward a nearby truck stop. But no trace of Bryce was ever found.
When he disappeared, Bryce was 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a Taurus bull head with a Roman numeral on his left shoulder. He was last seen wearing white cargo shorts, a blue and white checkered shirt, and white and red Nike shoes.
If you have information in this case, please call the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (818) 984-0630.

102: MURDER: Denise Robert (00:49:07)
On the night of August 30, 2015, 62 year old Denise Robert parked her car at Brookside Congregational Church in Manchester, New Hampshire, for her regular Sunday night walk through the North End neighborhood.
Just fifteen minutes later, she was found lying just off the road half a mile away, dead from a single gunshot wound. Witnesses reported hearing what sounded like a firecracker, then saw a red or rust-colored pickup truck speeding away from the scene.
Ten years later, her case is still unsolved and the question remains: who killed Denise Robert?

101: MURDER: The Jamison Family (00:44:28)
On October 8, 2009, Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison, along with their six-year-old daughter Madyson, set out to look at land for sale in the Sans Bois Mountains of Oklahoma. Days later, their truck was found abandoned less than a mile from the property. Inside were their wallets, coats, a phone, $32,000 in cash, and their dog, who was barely alive.
Despite an extensive search, there was no sign of the family for years. Then, in November 2013, hunters discovered the partial skeletal remains of Bobby, Sherilyn, and Madyson just a few miles from where the truck had been found.
It’s been nearly 12 years since then and investigators are still searching for answers…
44-year-old Bobby Jamison, his 40-year-old wife Sherilyn, and their six-year-old daughter Madyson disappeared on October 8, 2009. Their truck was found days later abandoned in the Sans Bois Mountains, with $32,000 in cash, personal belongings, and their dog Maizy inside.
Despite an extensive search and years of investigation, no trace of the family was found until November 2013, when hunters discovered three skulls and other remains about three miles from the truck’s location. The remains were later confirmed to be the Jamisons, but their cause and manner of death could not be determined.
If you have any information in this case, please call the Latimer County Sheriff's Office at (918) 465-2161.

99: MISSING: Danielle Bell (00:46:51)
On the night of September 28, 2001, 14-year-old Danielle Bell attended a party in Cantonment, Florida.
By the next morning, she was gone.
Investigators later learned Danielle believed she was pregnant with a 24-year-old man’s baby. She was scheduled to see a doctor the following week to confirm the pregnancy, but she never made it.
More than 23 years later, Danielle has never been found. Police believe she was murdered, but no one has ever been charged, and those closest to the case say the people who know what happened are still out there.
14-year-old Danielle Bell was last seen at around 2:00 a.m. on September 29, 2001, at Robert Bassett’s home at 588 Cedar Tree Lane in Cantonment, Florida. At the time, she believed she was pregnant with 24-year-old Alfredo Sanchez’s baby.
Alfredo’s brother, Alex, told investigators he dropped Danielle off at Bassett’s home and never saw her again. That was the last time anyone reported seeing Danielle.
If you have any information about Danielle’s disappearance, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 850-436-9620.

98: MURDER: Trish Haynes (00:42:02)
In January 2018, 25-year-old Trish Haynes returned to New Hampshire for a court date. She planned to stay just a few months and then head back to Florida, where her grandparents were waiting for her.
But that return trip never happened.
After moving in with an old classmate and her husband - Ashley and Doug Smith - Trish’s contact with her family dropped off. And by July, she was officially reported missing.
Weeks later, investigators found her jawbone inside a washer that had been dumped in a nearby pond.
To this day, no one has been arrested. And Trish’s family is still waiting for justice.
Trish Haynes was last heard from on May 16, 2018, during a brief phone call with her grandmother. She was staying with Ashley and Doug Smith at their rental property in Grafton, New Hampshire.
In late August, police searched the Smiths’ home. A second search led them to Grant Pond, less than a mile away, where investigators recovered a washer containing Trish’s jawbone. The rest of her remains have never been located.
If you have any information that could help this case, you can call the New Hampshire State Police at 603-223-4381.

97: MISSING: Amy Bradley (01:00:22)
On March 21, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise with her parents and younger brother. It was supposed to be a fun family vacation. But just three days later, Amy vanished from the ship without a trace.
She was last seen in the early morning hours of March 24 on the balcony of their cabin. Thirty minutes later, she was gone.
The ship was searched. So was the water. But there was no sign of Amy anywhere.
Over the years, multiple sightings have been reported across the Caribbean and beyond, leaving her family to wonder if Amy is still out there somewhere, waiting to be found.
23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley was last seen by her father around 5:30 a.m. on March 24, 1998, sleeping on the balcony of their cabin aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. By 6:00 a.m., she was gone.
Three witnesses later reported seeing Amy with Alister Douglas, also known as “Yellow,” just before 6:00 a.m., taking an elevator to the ship’s disco. He was later seen leaving alone.
There were no other sightings of Amy onboard. But over the years, multiple people have reported seeing her in Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and even San Francisco. Amy is still missing.
If you have any information concerning the disappearance of Amy, please contact your local FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

96: MURDER: Katie Janness (00:44:11)
On the night of July 27, 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness left her Midtown Atlanta apartment for a walk with her dog, Bowie. At around 11:30 p.m., she stopped by the restaurant where her partner was working. They spoke briefly, and Katie said she was heading home after finishing the walk.
But less than two hours later, she was found brutally murdered inside Piedmont Park, near the 10th Street entrance. She had been stabbed more than 50 times, mutilated, and left with letters carved into her body. There were no witnesses. No surveillance footage. And no clear motive.
Four years later, Katie’s case is still unsolved. And the question remains: who would do something like this and why?
If you have any information in this case, please call the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-546-4235 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. There is a $10,000 reward available.

94: MURDER: Thomas Wales (00:45:49)
On the night of October 11, 2001, federal prosecutor Thomas Wales was working in the basement of his Seattle home when someone walked up to his window and opened fire. Tom was struck multiple times, and later died at the hospital.
At first, it wasn’t clear if the motive was personal or something connected to his work. While Tom was well-liked, he had prosecuted dozens of white-collar criminals, was active in gun control reform, and had potentially made enemies in both spaces.
Investigators eventually zeroed in on one man who seemed to have a grudge with Tom for multiple reasons. But despite one of the most extensive investigations in FBI history, no one has ever been charged with Tom’s murder.
Federal prosecutor Thomas Wales was shot through the window of his Seattle home, located in the 100 block of Hayes Street, while working in his basement at around 10:40 p.m. on October 11, 2001.
If you have information about Tom’s murder, please call your local FBI office or email walestips@fbi.gov. There is a $2.5 million reward available.
