- Tara Breckenridge
Just after midnight on August 4, 1992, 23-year-old Tara Breckenridge clocked out early from her waitressing shift at The Men’s Club in Houston, Texas. She changed into her street clothes and the security guard carried her tote bag out and walked her to her red Pontiac Fiero. Tara got into her car and drove away.
About seven hours later, that Fiero was found sitting locked and empty on the shoulder of a major freeway three miles from the club, right on her route home. The car was locked, there was no sign of a struggle, but Tara was gone.
Police immediately started looking at her live-in boyfriend, but he wasn’t the only man in Tara’s life. They knew someone took Tara that night, but who? 34 years later, her family and friends are still wondering what happened to Tara Breckenridge.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Tara Breckenridge, please contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division Cold Case Squad at 713-308-3618, or Houston Crime Stoppers anonymously at 713-222-TIPS.

On the morning of Friday, September 14, 2007, a fourteen-year-old boy in Doncaster, England put on his school uniform, told his family "see you later," and walked out the front door, but he never got on his school bus. Instead, he waited until everyone had left his house, then went back inside. He changed out of his school uniform, grabbed a few items, and headed to the Doncaster railway station where he bought a one-way ticket to London.
At 11:25 that morning, a CCTV camera watched him walk out of King's Cross station and into a city of eight million people. Now, nearly 19 years later, that eight seconds of footage is still the last confirmed sighting of Andrew Gosden.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Andrew Gosden, please contact South Yorkshire Police online or by calling 101, or submit information through the police's public portal for the case at mipp.police.uk. In the UK, you can also contact the charity Missing People, free and confidentially, on 116 000. Missing People's reference number for Andrew is 07-019198.

On the night of July 14, 2016, a sixteen-year-old girl in Aurora, Colorado told her mother goodnight. She then went to her room and went out the window. She was picked up on surveillance video near a bus stop in the 1600 block of North Peoria Street. But Lashaya Stine never made it home.
Police wrote Lashaya off as a runaway at first, but she wasn’t a troubled kid. She was an honors student. She wanted to be a nurse, and had just been selected for an internship at the University of Colorado Hospital. She even had a job interview scheduled the next morning. She had no reason to leave and had taken nothing with her. As investigators dug into Lashaya, the evidence began to show that whatever happened to her that night, she hadn’t planned on staying gone.
If you have any information about Lashaya's disappearance, please contact the Aurora Police Department at (303) 627-3100, the Aurora Police Crimes Against Children Tip Line at (303) 739-6164, or Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-7867. You can remain anonymous. There is a combined reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to her whereabouts.

Three bones, some clothing, a lighter, and a pocketknife. Those were the items found by a duck hunter checking his blinds on July 25, 2021. It took almost exactly five years to put the pieces together, but on July 23, 2026, those bones were identified as belonging to Shane Workman, who had been missing from Lewistown, Pennsylvania since 2017.
Shane’s disappearance was met with rumors of set-ups, murder, or a voluntary disappearance. Despite an influx of tips, his case went cold. Shane’s family never gave up on him though, and while they now know that he’s never coming home, they’re still fighting for answers. As his father, Mike Hewitt, said,
“We don't have to look for him anymore just his killer.”
Anyone with information regarding Shane Workman’s disappearance is urged to contact Detective Det. Mary Woods at (717) 248-6716 Ext. 427. If you are interested in helping with volunteer efforts, please reach out to voicesforvanished@gmail.com or visit voicesforvanished.com.

We originally covered the case of Shane Workman in November 2024. In August 2026, his body was found. We have published a short update episode right after this re-release.
“Nobody is doing anything because Shane was a drug addict everybody goes back to that.”
That was a comment that Mike Hewitt made on a Facebook post about his missing son, Shane Workman. Not only does Mike have to deal with the constant pain of having a missing son, but he does this while believing that no one cares. Mike is not alone. Many family members of missing people who don’t fit the mold of the “perfect victim” experience the exact same thing. But Shane, and all missing people deserve to be found.
On April 25, 2010 at around 10 pm, 31-year-old Shane Workman told his dad he was going to run to Sheetz, a gas station near their home in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. But Shane never made it there. Mike and his partner, Cindy Workman, didn’t realize anything was wrong, and went on a camping trip the next morning. It wouldn’t be until they returned that they realized their son had never come home after his trip to the gas station. A search party was formed immediately, but despite many tips, including people who may have been involved in Shane’s disappearance, Mike says that Lewistown Police quickly lost interest. After seven years, Shane is still missing, but his family is still fighting for Shane and for justice.
Anyone with information regarding Shane Workman’s disappearance is urged to contact Detective Det. Mary Woods at (717) 248-6716 Ext. 427. If you are interested in helping with volunteer efforts, please reach out to voicesforvanished@gmail.com or visit voicesforvanished.com.

CW: This episode contains discussions of child sexual assault. Please listen with care. If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual assault, help is available. RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24 hours/day. Call 1-800-656-4673.
13-year-old Leigh Occhi was left alone for an hour on the morning of August 27, 1992. In that short window of time, something violent happened in her Tupelo, Mississippi home. Blood, hair, and clothing were all left behind, but Leigh was gone.
The remnants of Hurricane Andrew washed away potential clues, and no trace of Leigh was found. Soon, the whispers started about someone close to Leigh: Vickie Felton, her mother. But According to Vickie, there was someone else who police needed to look at: a man named Oscar “Mike” Kearny; Leigh’s Sunday School teacher. Could a horrific crime committed nine months after Leigh’s disappearance hold the answers in her case?
If you have any information about the disappearance of Leigh Occhi, please contact the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 841-6491, or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS.

On the morning of August 27, 1992, the remnants of Hurricane Andrew were heading toward Tupelo, Mississippi. Inside a small house on Honey Locust Drive, a thirteen-year-old girl named Leigh Occhi was home alone, still in her nightgown. She had an open house at her middle school later that day, and her mom had just left for work.
Around 8:30, her mother was worried about the storm, so called home to check on Leigh, but there was no answer. She called again. Still no answer. So she made the mile and a half drive home. She'd been gone less than an hour, but when she got home, Leigh was gone.
In the thirty-four years since that morning, there has never been an arrest, but there have been a few people who have never quite been ruled out. Can new searches finally bring the answers that have been hidden for over three decades?
If you have any information about the disappearance of Leigh Occhi, please contact the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 841-6491, or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS.

Sometime in the early morning hours of April 6, 1986, someone knocked on the door of a small home just off Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. A nine-year-old girl named Anthonette Cayedito got out of bed. By the time the sun rose, she was gone. There have been many versions of what happened between the knock and when Anthonette’s family realized she was missing, but what we do know is that there was no forced entry, no struggle, and nothing was taken– except for Anthonette. A three-day search of Gallup and the land around it turned up nothing at all.
The next four decades would bring sightings, changing stories, and even what many believe is a confession. But to this day, Anthonette Cayedito remains missing.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito, please contact the Gallup Police Department at (505) 863-9365, or the FBI's Albuquerque Division at (505) 889-1300. You can also submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

Around noon on July 16, 1996, a 36-year-old writer named Susan Walsh told her family that she was going to run out to the pay phone down the block and make a call. She left behind her purse. She left behind her beeper. She left behind her medication and even her cigarettes.
No one ever saw her again.
Susan wasn’t just anyone who vanished. She was a journalist who wrote about things like the Russian mob’s grip on the go-go bars where she herself had danced, and the strange world of people in New York City who called themselves vampires. So when she disappeared, there was no shortage of lurid headlines and theories. Maybe she got too close to the wrong story. Maybe it was the vampires. Maybe it was someone much closer to home.
30 years later, we still don’t know which of those, if any, is true.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Susan Walsh, please contact the Nutley Police Department at (973) 284-4940.

On the night of August 31, 1976, a three-year-old girl crept out of bed and witnessed her father wrap his hands around her mother's throat, push her against the wall, and drag her out of sight. The next morning, her father, Ralph Otto, told her and her sister that their mother, 24-year-old Patty Otto, wasn’t coming back.
For years, Suzanne wasn’t sure what she had seen that night, but as she became an adult, she started questioning it more and more. Then, in 2021 a Facebook post turned everything she thought she knew about her mother’s disappearance completely on end. Now, she’s fighting three different states to find out what really happened to Patty Otto that night.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Patty Otto, please contact the Lewiston Police Department at (208) 746-0171. If you have any information about the identity of the Finley Creek Jane Doe, found near La Grande, Oregon in 1978, please contact the Oregon State Police.

This episode originally aired in 2024
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.

In the early morning hours of December 10, 1999, an 18-year-old UCLA freshman finished playing a computer game in his dorm room, stepped into the hallway to high-five the friend he'd been playing against, and walked back toward his own room.
When his roommate woke up the next morning, Michael Negrete was gone.
Bloodhounds traced his scent to a bus stop a few blocks away, but then the trail just stopped. Michael hadn’t been in trouble; he hadn’t been depressed; he hadn’t been running with a bad crowd. There were absolutely no red flags in his life, and nothing that would lead anyone to believe he wouldn’t finish his first semester of college and go home with everyone else.
In over 26 years there's been no body, no arrest, no confirmed sighting, and not a single dollar taken out of his bank account. Police have never named a suspect, and they have never found Michael.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Negrete, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500, and reference case number 0199003533. You can also contact the UCLA Police Department at (310) 825-1491.

On the evening of January 2, 1999, two sisters stood on their street in Mesa, Arizona, waiting for the ice cream truck. The older girl, who was 11, had two quarters clutched in her hand. Her little sister, who was 9, got cold and ran inside — just for a minute. When she came back out, the bike her sister had been sitting on was lying in the road, one wheel still slowly spinning. The two quarters were on the pavement nearby.
And Mikelle Biggs was gone.
The whole thing happened in about ninety seconds. Search dogs would later follow her scent a few feet from that spot, and then lose it completely. Police collected over 800 pieces of evidence and chased more than 10,000 tips, But nearly three decades later, Mikelle has never been found.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Mikelle Biggs, please contact the Mesa Police Department Homicide Unit at 480-644-6195, or by email at p20008@mesaaz.gov. You can also leave an anonymous tip with Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377).

Sometime in the pre-dawn hours of October 13, 2018, a 16-year-old girl walked out of her family's home in Chalfont, California and into the dark. It was a cold morning, but she wasn't wearing a jacket. She didn’t take her glasses, and she left her phone and money behind. She left everything.
The last person to see her inside the house was her stepmother, who says she watched Karlie Gusé lying in bed at 5:48 in the morning. But less than two hours later, Karlie was gone. This is a case that has torn a family in half because some of the people who loved Karlie most do not believe the story they've been told about that night.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Karlie Gusé, please contact the Mono County Sheriff's Office at (760) 932-7549, option 7, or the FBI.

The following morning, her car was found in the Pathmark parking lot a mile from her home. It was locked and there were Christmas presents wrapped inside, but Norine Higuchi Brown was never seen again. Her case quickly went cold, but the people who loved Norine never gave up searching for answers, even when it seemed as though the rest of the world moved on.

On May 15, 2026, news broke that Gretchen Fleming's remains had been positively identified. That same day, it was also announced that Preston Pierce had been arrested on charges related to her murder. This story is developing, so this week we have a mini update on the charges and what is happening next on the case.

On the night of February 7, 2018, 23-year-old Khadijah Britton was at a friend's house in Covelo, California. Just eight days earlier, she had escaped from her boyfriend's home after he assaulted her, causing serious injuries. Khadijah reported the attack to police, but she was scared of what he would do to her if she followed through. That night, he showed up with a gun.
Witnesses reported that she was forced into the back of a black Mercedes sedan, and Khadijah Britton was never seen again. Her alleged abductor, Negie Fallis IV, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and kidnapping. Those charges were dropped. Everybody in that community knows what happened to Khadijah Britton. The sheriff knows. The FBI knows. Her family knows. And the man they believe is responsible has walked free, over and over again, for eight years.
If you have any information about Khadijah's disappearance, please contact the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office at 707-463-4411 or the FBI San Francisco Division at 415-553-7400. You can also submit tips anonymously online through the MCSO's anonymous tip line at wetip.com. A combined reward of up to $120,000 is available for information leading to Khadijah's location or the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance. The Help Find Khadijah Britton Facebook group is still active and maintained by her family.

On the night of March 7, 2021, 41-year-old Sarm Heslop had dinner with her boyfriend on the island of St. John in the US Virgin Islands. It was a relaxed evening at a local bar, and afterwards, they took a short dinghy ride back to the 47-foot catamaran they lived on together, and went to bed. But by sunrise, Sarm was gone.
Her phone, wallet and passport were still on the boat, but she was not. And the man who was the last person to see her refused to talk. To this day, Ryan Bane maintains that Sarm must have gone overboard accidentally, but Sarm’s family believes there’s much more to the story, and five years later, they’re still trying to figure out what happened on that boat.
