    A young woman opened the door to her place of work, a sporting apparel store in Washington DC, and immediately realized something was wrong. Too afraid to investigate what she saw and heard, she ran from the store and called 911. When police arrived and entered the store, they heard a sound coming from a hallway in the back, and they began to move toward it…

    Patricia Meehan
    Nov 16 2024
    “This is not like her. We think… that she is confused and scared. We’re quite sure she doesn’t know who she is.”

    This is a terrifying thought for any parent or loved one to come to terms with. That someone they care about could forget who they are and not even realize that there are people out there who are desperately trying to find them and bring them home. But for the family of Patricia Meehan, this wasn’t just a nightmare, it was a cold and brutal reality that began with a car accident in Circle, Montana on April 20, 1989, and continues to this day.

    Anyone with information regarding Patricia Meehan’s disappearance should contact the McCone County Sheriff's Office at 406-485-3405

    When 13-year-old Bianca Piper got into an argument with her mother, Shannon Tanner, over doing the dishes, Shannon put her in the car, drove her a mile up the road, and told her to walk home. While this may seem like an odd form of punishment, it was actually something that had been recommended by Bianca’s therapist. But on March 10, 2005, Bianca never made it home.

    Investigators in Foley, Missouri performed an extensive search but uncovered almost no clues regarding the missing girl. Over the years, they’ve investigated many theories, including the possibility of Bianca’s disappearance being related to those of other children in Lincoln County. Was Bianca abducted by a stranger, or was the reason behind her disappearance closer to home?

    Anyone with information regarding Bianca Piper’s disappearance is urged to submit a tip through the Lincoln County Sheriff’s website or through their tipline at 636-462-6513.

    Jaliek Rainwalker
    Nov 1 2024
    “Dear Everybody, I’m sorry for everything. I won’t bother you anymore. Goodbye, Jaliek.” This is the letter that Stephen Kerr said his 12-year-old adopted son left in his empty bedroom at his grandparents’ home on November 1, 2007, right before he went missing. By all accounts, Jaliek was an emotionally troubled boy, and there was a great deal of friction within his family. Is this a note written by a child right before he decided to run away? Or, is there more to this letter and Jaliek’s home life than it appears?

    Jaliek Rainwalker has been missing from Greenwich, New York, for nearly 17 years. In the 12 years leading up to his disappearance, multiple people failed this child. Now, the question is, where is Jaliek Rainwalker, and who is responsible for his disappearance?

    Anyone with information regarding Jaliek Rainwalker’s disappearance is urged to call the Greenwich Village Police Department at 518-692-9332.

    Re-Release: Giovanni Colon Gonzalez
    Oct 28 2024
    On August 15, 2008, a mother dropped her five-year-old son off to visit his father for the weekend. Her ex, Ernesto Gonzalez, hadn’t been very involved in their son, Giovanni’s, life since their separation three years prior, but he recently started making an effort to have a relationship with the boy. Daisy Colon packed Giovanni’s backpack with clothes and dropped him off in nearby Lynn, Massachusetts. But when she came to pick him up again, her little boy was gone.

    An investigation was launched, and police even eventually secured a confession. The problem? Investigators didn’t believe it. Daisy believes that Ernesto hit their son somewhere, but nearly 15 years later, no one has found him. What happened to Giovanni Colon-Gonzalez?

    If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Giovanni Colon-Gonzalez, you can contact the Lynn Police Department at 781-595-2000.

    Si tiene alguna información sobre la desaparición de Giovanni Colon-Gonzalez, puede comunicarse con el Departamento de Policía de Lynn al 781-595-2000.

  • Update: Shane Donahue

    Update: Shane Donahue
    Oct 19 2024
    1, 2, 3, the Donahue family counted. 4, 5, 6, the numbers changed on the banner at their Arden Road home in Nokesville, Virginia. The days turned into weeks, which turned into months, which turned into years. The number had reached over 5,000 before the Donahue family got the news that they had been waiting for: an arrest had been made in the murder of their son, Shane.

    On March 22, 2010, 23-year-old Shane Donahue left his parents’ home and told them that he loved them. Shane, who didn’t drive at the time, got a ride with his buddy, Tim Hickerson. Shane was never seen nor heard from again. Over the past 14 years, there have been many allegations made by both the Donahue and Hickerson families, but little in the way of answers or media coverage. Then, on September 17, 2024, Tim Hickerson was arrested in Florida for the murder of his friend, Shane Donahue. It marks the first major movement on this case in over a decade, but the disappearance of Shane Donahue is far from being solved.

    Anyone with information regarding Shane Donahue’s disappearance is urged to contact the Prince William County Police Department at 763-792-7279.

    Re-Release: Shane Donahue
    Oct 19 2024
    On March 22, 2010, 23-year-old Nokesville, Virginia resident Shane Donahue was having a good day. He had just gotten paid $5,000 in cash for installing ceiling tiles at a local business. He was with his buddy, Timothy Hickerson, who helped him with the job. The friends went over to Shane’s parents’ house for a while before getting into Timothy’s truck and heading off. But no one ever saw Shane again after that. And now, over 10 years later, a grieving family continues to be rocked by tragedy while searching for answers as rumors and accusations swirl around their small town.

    Anyone with information regarding Shane Donahue’s disappearance is urged to contact the Prince William County Police Department at 763-792-7279.

    Margaret Haddican-McEnroe
    Oct 12 2024
    In 1999, she saved a couple from flooding after Hurricane Floyd. In 2002, she joined the Army so she could serve her country after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2006, she vanished.

    On October 10, 2006, 29-year-old Margaret Haddican-McEnroe was a mother of three girls, including a 6-month-old, when she allegedly walked out of her Warren, New Jersey home, leaving behind her cell phone, car, and her baby, never to be seen again. According to her husband, Margaret was dealing with post-partum depression at the time, and had previously threatened suicide. But after 18 years with no sign of Margaret, those closest to her don’t believe that she went missing on her own.

    Anyone with information regarding Margaret Haddican-McEnroe’s disappearance is urged to contact the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office at 908-231-7100 or through the CrimeStoppers TIPS line at 1-888-577-TIPS.
