He told her he didn’t feel good the day before he disappeared and that he was going to take a COVID-19 test the next day. According to Gladys, he was also planning to get a new phone, since his was broken at the time. Willis had also lost his ID and his debit card before his disappearance. Gladys told Dateline that she traveled from Huslia to Fairbanks shortly after hearing of her son’s disappearance. She said she stayed there for eight months, organizing search parties almost every single day and using Facebook to rally community members from both Huslia and Fairbanks to participate in searches. Other members of the family also traveled to Fairbanks to help look for Willis, staying for different amounts of time to participate in the searches. Gladys said she has received donations from friends and family, community members, businesses, and corporations across Alaska, and used the money to finance lodging, car rentals, and gas cards for the people involved in the searches. Today, the family has about $12,000 left over from the donations which, according to the family, is being used as a reward for information that helps solve Willis’s case. The family runs a Facebook page called “Searching for Willis Derendoff” that has over 2,000 members. Willis is between 5’7” and 5’10” tall and weighed about 160 lbs. at the time of his disappearance, with dark hair and brown eyes. He would be 37 years old today. The Alaska State Troopers Non-Emergency Dispatch line confirmed to Dateline that Willis’s case is still open. Anyone with information about Willis’s disappearance is asked to contact the Alaska State Troopers at (907) 451-5100.

They drove to the Girdwood Forest Fair and according to witness statements to Alaska State Troopers, Erin was last seen at a beer garden with Combs before they left around 6:00 p.m. In a statement to authorities in 1995, Combs said they walked to his car, but the lights had been left on and it wouldn’t start. He said he told Erin he would walk to a nearby friend’s house for help. He said he walked for about two hours, but was unable to find his friend’s house. He told authorities when he returned to the car, Erin was gone and he figured she’d returned to the fair. Combs said when he tried to start the car this time, it worked. He stated he went back to the fair and searched for Erin until about 1:00 a.m. Lieutenant Randy McPherron of the Alaska State Troopers told Dateline in 2019 they haven’t received any leads in several years, but that they’d follow up on any that come in. In 2023, Communications Director of the Department of Public Safety Austin McDaniel told Dateline that Erin’s case is "still an active investigation." Her case is one of the cases being looked into by the recently-created Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons investigative team. Erin is described as 5’11”, 145 lbs., with brown hair and hazel eyes. She would be in her early 50s today.

Duffy’s family told Dateline that she did not own a car and usually walked everywhere she went. According to Homer Police Department Lieutenant Ryan Browning, search dogs tracked Duffy’s scent into downtown Homer but then lost it, reaching a point search-dog handlers call a “car pick up.” Duffy’s mother, Sara Berg, said the family believed someone picked her up in a vehicle and that she had been abducted. Sara filed a presumptive death petition for her daughter in April 2021. Two months later, a six-member jury decided that Duffy could be presumed dead. It also determined that her death was likely a homicide. On May 9, 2022, the Homer Police Department posted on their Facebook page that they had arrested 32-year-old Kirby Foleni Calderwood in Utah in relation to Duffy’s disappearance. In May of 2022, Dateline obtained the arrest warrant affidavit submitted by Investigator Matt Haney of the Homer Police Department. The affidavit detailed an anonymous tip that came in on April 14, 2022 that was “very specific” as to what happened to Duffy. The tipster named Calderwood, who was already under investigation in the case, as the person responsible. Investigator Haney wrote in the affidavit that “Calderwood has an extensive history of abusive violent sexual behavior towards women and fantasized about torturing and killing someone.” Calderwood lived in Alaska for a few years around the time Duffy disappeared. The tipster said Calderwood admitted to her that he had tortured and killed Duffy, threw her phone in a nearby lake and disposed of her body in a dumpster. He told her he kept Duffy’s watch. On May 5, 2022, Haney and the Ogden, Utah Police Department executed multiple search warrants related to Calderwood. Officials found a small women's Timex watch in Calderwood’s dresser that matched the description Duffy’s parents had given of her watch. That day, Investigator Haney also interviewed Calderwood’s wife, who was reportedly “very afraid.” The following day, according to the affidavit, the wife called Investigator Haney and disclosed that she had been the anonymous tipster who called the month prior. Calderwood was arrested on May 9, 2022, and charged with kidnapping, murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree and tampering with physical evidence. He has pleaded not guilty. Lieutenant Ryan Browning from the Homer Police Department told Dateline in 2023 that Calderwood is still in jail pending trial at the Wildwood Pretrial Facility in Kenai, Alaska. Duffy's body has still not been found. Police urge anyone with information on the case to contact the Homer Police Department at 907-235-3150 or Crime Stoppers at 907-283-8477.

Search efforts have included mini-submarines, helicopters and private citizens. In 2022, the Nome Police Department conducted a search using cadaver dogs. In 2023, Chief William Crocket from the Nome Police Department told Dateline that Florence is still considered a missing person. He added that the department is unsure if foul play was a factor in her disappearance, suggesting that the vast nature and wildlife in Nome can be blamed for many deaths. "We're essentially looking for a body at this point, and the body will tell us what happened -- hopefully," he said. He noted that the department is becoming "increasingly less and less optimistic" that they will be able to find her. Florence is 5’2”, 142 lbs., with black hair and eyes. She has no scars, marks or tattoos. It is unknown what she was last seen wearing or which direction she was headed when she left the tent on the beach. If you have information about Florence’s disappearance please contact the Nome Police Department at (907) 443-5262.

He had recently started his own business, Sanford Home Repair & Remodel. Lieutenant Jess Carson of the Alaska State Troopers told Dateline in March of 2021 that troopers suspect foul play in Doren’s disappearance and believe they’ve already spoken to people who know what happened to him. In November of 2023, Carson told Dateline that the Alaska State Troopers have conducted at least 15 additional interviews and performed several more searches, employing the use of cadaver dogs and ground penetrating radar to help find Doren. He told Dateline that investigators “haven’t found any viable leads,” though they are hopeful that the Seattle division of the FBI will soon join the case. Doren is described as being 5’10”, weighing approximately 140-160 lbs., with brown hair and blue eyes. A Facebook page “Find Doren Sanford” has been created to share developments in the case. If you have tips on Doren's case please call the non-emergency dispatch line of the Fairbanks division of the Alaska State Troopers at (907) 451-5100.

Michelle’s mother, Patricia, told Dateline that the next day, she received a concerning text from Michelle’s boyfriend. He told her that Michelle had not been seen or heard from since June 29 and that he had reported her missing. According to Patricia, she then called Michelle’s boyfriend and he told her that earlier that day, Michelle told him that she wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to be bothered, so when he got home later that night, he went to sleep on the couch. Patricia told Dateline he said when he got up the next morning, Michelle wasn’t in the bedroom. Patricia said that he told her all of Michelle’s belongings were left behind including her keys, phone, license, dog, and car. Dateline attempted to reach out to Michelle’s boyfriend for comment but was unsuccessful. In July of 2022, the Phoenix Police Department posted on Twitter that Michelle was “last seen on June 29th in the area of 40th St and Greenway Rd,”in Phoenix. The police did not indicate whether they believe foul play is involved and no persons of interest have been named in Michelle’s disappearance. There have been no new updates on Michelle’s case since. According to local NBC affiliate 12News, the Phoenix Police Department confirmed that Michelle’s case was still open as of June 2023. In February of 2023, Michelle’s family set up a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to the conviction or arrest of the person responsible for her disappearance, also according to 12News. Michelle is 5’6" tall, about 170 lbs., with short black hair. According to police, Michelle was last seen wearing a black face mask and gray sandals with fluorescent green accents.

Police say the Jeep appeared to have rolled and landed on its side. Several of Daniel’s belongings were found at the scene, including clothes, his cell phone, wallet, and keys. A ground search was conducted, but nothing was found. Daniel’s father, David Robinson, traveled cross-country to search for his son. In 2022, he spoke with Josh Mankiewicz for an episode of the podcast series “Dateline: Missing in America” and said he would not leave Arizona until he finds his son. “It seems like it is simple, but when you are actually on the ground looking, it takes time,” he said. “You know, even with the people that we have it takes time... It’s a lot of time, effort and money to keep things going and I get weary at times that it is going to fade eventually and I won’t have that kind of support anymore.” David remains determined to get answers. “As a father, my drive is to find my son. So I will do whatever it takes to make it happen,” he vowed. In 2023, Carissa Planalp, a public information officer with the Buckeye PD, told Dateline that Daniel is still considered a missing person. "The investigation remains open and active until we are able to locate Daniel," she said. So far, police don't have any evidence proving that foul play was involved in Daniel's disappearance. The department also told Dateline that they have not identified any persons of interest in the case. Daniel is 5’8”, and weighs about 165 lbs. He has black hair and brown eyes. He is missing part of his right arm from the forearm down. Anyone with information on Daniel’s case is asked to call the Buckeye Police at 623-349-6400 or the Buckeye Police tip line at 623-349-6411 or the tipline created by Daniel's father at 844-602-0660.

When she woke up later that morning and Brad hadn’t returned home, Megan grew concerned. After a few days of searching, the family called authorities to report Brad missing. Police told Dateline in April of 2018, that they interviewed Brad’s family, friends and coworkers, but there were no persons of interest at that time. Daniel Watson, an investigator with the Ashley County Sheriff's Department, told Dateline in 2023 that "nothing has panned out at all," and referred to Brad as a "missing person with no leads right now." Foul play is suspected in Brad’s disappearance. If you have any information on Brad’s whereabouts, please contact the Ashley County Sheriff's Office at (870) 853-2040.

Keith told Dateline that on June 6, 2020, he and Dia had lunch together around 2:30 p.m. at home and then he left to do some work on the property. He said when he returned to the home around 7:30 p.m. he found Dia’s cell phone charging in their bedroom. Her purse was in the house, and her truck was outside. Dia was nowhere to be found. Keith told Dateline that after Dia didn’t return home that night, he reported her missing the next day. Dia’s son, Clinton Abrams, told Dateline he learned about his mother’s disappearance from one of her neighbors and immediately left his home in San Diego to go to the ranch. “I drove up there that Sunday,” he said. And by Monday, “missing persons came out, homicide came out, there was a dive team.” Clinton told Dateline he believes Keith Harper knows more about Dia’s disappearance than he has revealed. When asked by Dateline if he had something to do with Dia’s disappearance, Keith Harper responded, “Absolutely not.” In June 2023, Dateline featured Dia's case in our podcast series "Dateline: Missing in America." The Riverside County Sheriff's Office told Dateline in June that the "homicide unit is pursuing all leads they can, but they cannot comment about evidence in the investigation." They also confirmed that Keith Harper is considered a person of interest in Dia's disappearance. In October 2023, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office conducted a search of Dia's property where Keith Harper was still serving as the ranch manager and as co-trustee of Dia's estate. It is unclear what was discovered during the search. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office Media Information Bureau confirmed to Dateline that a search warrant was served but said that "no further details are available at this time." In November 2023, a judge removed Harper as co-trustee of Dia's estate after he tried to list the property with a real estate agent. Rewards totaling $300,000 are being offered by the Dia Kenshalo Abrams Trust in connection to the case. Dia is 5’6” with blue eyes. When she was last seen, Dia’s hair was blonde and she weighed 135 lbs.

On November 22, the boyfriend reported Nancy missing. According to police, he said that he had dropped Nancy off at a shopping mall outside El Centro, California while he was finishing deliveries and Nancy was not there when he returned. Shortly after Nancy disappeared, Dateline spoke with Detective Luis Hernandez of the El Centro Police Department. “We’ve talked to businesses in that area where she was supposedly dropped off,” he said. “We passed out fliers, and put her on our El Centro Police Department Facebook page. But she hasn’t been seen since.” He noted that at that time there was no indication of foul play. In 2023, however, Sergeant Fisher from the El Centro Police Department told Dateline that "everything is pointing to" Nancy's boyfriend being responsible for her disappearance and "possible death." Fisher told Dateline that there have been no updates in her case in the past few years and that her body has not been found. Nancy is 5’2”, weighs 165 lbs., and has brown hair and eyes. She would be 45 years old today. Anyone with information regarding Nancy’s disappearance is asked to call the El Centro Police Department at (760) 337-4861.

Cecilia was last seen with her husband, Francisco Valdivia. In December of 2016, the Tulare County District Attorney's office filed charges against Valdivia for felony murder and arson. Rosalina Lopez – a woman who was also married to Valdivia – was charged with one felony count of being an accessory to murder after the fact. Valdivia and Lopez were arraigned at the Tulare County Pretrial Facility on December 14, 2016. In November of 2023, Stuart Anderson, the Communications Director with the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office, told Dateline that Valdivia’s trial is set to begin on March 5, 2024. According to Anderson, Valdivia pleaded not guilty and is currently being held at the Tulare County Jail. Anderson also told Dateline that his co-defendant, Rosalina Lopez, pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact. “[Lopez] was sentenced to three years in custody but was released after the plea due to time served awaiting trial,” Anderson told Dateline in an email. Cecilia’s body has still not been found. If you have any information in Cecilia’s case, please call the Tulare County Sheriff's Department at (559) 735-1880.

On March 26, 2021, a possible sighting of Jackson Miller at a Target in Woodland, California shined a new light on the cases. A woman called the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and reported that she had been approached by a man who identified himself as “Jackson” and stated he was a missing person and asked her for a ride. She declined and he left. According to Oxygen, the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children has since conducted a forensic cross-analysis of the Target surveillance images. The results came back “inconclusive," John Bischoff, Vice President of the Missing Children Division, said. Leads and searches have unearthed virtually no clues in any of their cases, but members of each family have banded together to help in the search efforts and cope with their shared grief. Dateline was not able to confirm the status of the investigation into any of the individual cases in 2023. If you have any information regarding any of these five cases, please contact the San Francisco Police Department at (415) 558-5508.

Both men's vehicles were found on DeNoyer's ranch property. DeNoyer denies having any information or involvement in either man’s disappearance and has not been named a suspect. In 2023, Lieutenant Andrew Porter with the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office confirmed to Dateline that DeNoyer is not a suspect. "We don't have any evidence that he did something," said Porter. For years, both Donald Cavanaugh and David Neily had been feared dead. In May 2021, human remains were found by an employee at a private nature reserve in an old-growth Douglas Fir forest in Branscomb, about 3.5 miles from where David Neily’s car had been found 15 years earlier. DNA analysis of the remains and dental records examined by Jim Wood, a California Assembly member and forensic dentistry expert, determined they belonged to Neily. The examination found no evidence of trauma and the sheriff’s office continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding Neily’s disappearance. Donald Cavanaugh is still missing. The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office told Dateline in 2023 that his case is still open and under investigation. If you have information about either of these cases, you are encouraged to call the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office at (707) 234-2100.

Tamecka told Dateline the man she spoke with suggested that Corey might have hitchhiked back to Santa Rosa from Kerman — a nearly four hour journey. Dateline reached out to the man Tamecka said she spoke with about that night but has yet to receive a response. On August 9, Corey’s family reported him missing. The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office is investigating Corey’s disappearance. Public Information Officer Tony Botti told Dateline in an email that on August 4, Corey and a friend were dropped off at a home along the 2500 block of South Bishop in Fresno County. He said the friend knew people staying at the home. According to Officer Botti, Corey was last seen at about 3 a.m. on August 7 leaving the home on foot walking northwest, toward the city of Kerman. He noted that “it is not clear what caused him to walk away.” Officer Botti told Dateline that the Fresno County Search and Rescue Team conducted multiple ground searches centering out from the location where Corey was last seen. At this time, there are no persons of interest in Corey’s case, however authorities do suspect foul play. “This is due to Corey being an active person who either speaks with people or attends events on a regular basis, so it is strange for him to no longer be seen or heard from,” Officer Botti said. Corey is 5’8”, 190 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair. He was last seen wearing red sweatpants, no shirt, and Nike shoes. Anyone with information about Corey’s disappearance is asked to contact the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office at (559) 600-3111.

She added that in the days leading up to his disappearance, Dane had become mentally distressed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and that he had been driving back and forth between their home in Brentwood and Santa Cruz, where he was an engineering student. For nearly three years, Dane’s family has used social media to reach out to the community for information on his whereabouts. A Facebook group ‘Searching for Dane Elkins’ and the TikTok account @KindnessMom were launched to help with the search. According to a message posted on the Facebook page in 2023, the family believes the most recent sighting of Dane was in Santa Cruz, California in April of 2022. The family asks anyone who thinks they’ve spotted someone who might be Dane to take a photo of the individual and send it to searchingfordaneelkins@gmail.com, which will allow the family to better determine if it actually could be Dane before passing it along to investigators. They urge people not to call the police right away for the sake of Dane’s mental health and for fear that it may make matters worse. Dane is described as being 5’11”, and weighing 170 lbs. He has brown hair and green eyes. His family said he had facial hair in the days before his disappearance. Anyone with information on his location is urged to call the LAPD’s Missing Persons Unit at (213) 996-1800. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477).

Several searches done over the past eight years in relation to the case have not yielded anything significant. “I love my daughter; I would love her remains to be found and this case brought to a closure,” her father, Jeff, told Dateline. A $20,000 reward for information leading to arrests and conviction in Monique’s disappearance was reestablished by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on April 4, 2021. In 2023, Dateline made multiple attempts to contact Detective Karen Shonka, the lead investigator on Monique’s case, but was unable to speak with her. If you have any information regarding Monique’s case, please call the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at (323) 890-5500 or Detective Karen Shonka at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5621 and refer to Report No. 015-07325-2661-400.

“He pulled forward. He looked at her. She was still standing there,” Karah said. “He backed the car up, paid for the food, pulled back forward, and she was gone. So the last time we seen her was when she was standing at the end of the drive-through. She literally disappeared in minutes.” Beaumont Police Department Public Information Officer Marcedes Cashmer told Dateline that multiple ground searches were done for Cajairah, adding that security footage showed her “walking south, away from the area of the Jack in the Box and behind businesses in the same center as the food establishment” on the same night she disappeared. Karah told Dateline that she believes her daughter may have been suffering a medical emergency causing her to walk away. Foul play is not suspected in Cajairah’s disappearance at this time. According to Officer Cashmer, the Beaumont Police Department is continuing to “pursue any and all leads to locate Cajairah.” Karah told Dateline that she believes her daughter was abducted, although Cashmer told Dateline that there is no evidence at this time that suggests that. Karah has Facebook and Instagram pages called “Find Cajairah” dedicated to getting answers about her daughter’s disappearance. Cajairah is 5’7” and 160 lbs. She was last seen wearing a black jacket and grey sweats. According to her mother, she has several medical needs and food intolerances. Her son would be 8 months old. Anyone with information is asked to call the Beaumont Police Department at 951-769-8500 or the Dock Ellis Foundation at 888-222-6050.

Detective Edwin Cruz with the Salinas Police Department, the lead detective on Arelie’s case, told Dateline in an email that surveillance video showed that Arelie left her residence alone in her vehicle on the morning of September 22. He added that, “no one approached her and there is no indication that her vehicle was followed.” He went on to say that detectives scanned footage and believe a vehicle matching hers passed the Carmel Highlands General store -- about 40 minutes away from her apartment, a route he said is consistent with where Arelie’s vehicle was later found in Big Sur. He said at the time, there were “no obvious indications” of foul play. “An extensive search was conducted on the day of her disappearance by the Monterey County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team by drone. This search was repeated the following day, 9/23/22 on foot by the Search and Rescue Team with the assistance of drones and a CHP airplane,” Det. Cruz wrote. “Arelie was not located, and no evidence was found. This area was searched again on 10/2/22 by SPD Detectives, MCSO Search and Rescue, a drone, and a trained cadaver dog with no findings. MCSO has conducted additional searches since 10/2/22 with no success.” Detective Cruz told Dateline that multiple search warrants for Arelie’s electronic devices and bank accounts have been conducted and there has been no activity since the time she disappeared. “Detectives have [interviewed] 62 persons including Arelie’s family, friends, and co-workers with no investigative leads,” he wrote. According to the detective, Arelie’s case is an ongoing and active investigation. The family runs an Instagram page, a website, and Google toolkit — all dedicated to bringing Arelie home. Arelie is 5’5,” about 150 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black hoodie and black leggings. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Cruz with the Salinas Police Department at 831-758-7393 or the anonymous tip line at 831-775-4222.

Authorities believe she disappeared on May 4, 2020. Hurtado said they were actively searching for Diana and had interviewed several people about her disappearance. Investigator Hurtado would not comment further on details due to the ongoing nature of the investigation. “There are many stories and rumors around this case,” Investigator Hurtado said at the time. “So it’s hard to say at this time if foul play is involved.” Dateline made several attempts to contact the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office in November of 2023 but was unable to speak with anyone familiar with the case. Diana is described as being 5'3" and weighing approximately 180 lbs., with brown hair and eyes. Diana’s family said she dyes her hair often, so it may be a lighter brown or blonde color. Anyone who may have information about Diane’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office Investigation Unit at 442-265-2105 and reference case #2006-1642.

Security footage provided by the casino shows Max, 25, arriving around 1:00 a.m. A Curry County Sheriff’s Office press release says Max was then seen going outside the casino and waiting near the back door. Around 1:50 a.m., security footage shows Max talking to a white adult male in front of the casino. Max and the man are then seen walking south across the parking lot, parallel to Highway 101, until they go off camera, still walking south. Eighteen minutes later, the man re-enters the casino alone. In a statement to authorities, the man said he and Max “went separate ways after leaving the casino.” Police told Dateline in 2018 that after conducting numerous interviews and searches they do have suspects in the case but are not publicly releasing their names. Authorities say foul play is suspected and Max’s case is being treated as a homicide investigation. Since the casino is in Del Norte County, Curry County investigators handed the case over to the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office once it was determined that’s where Max was last seen. In December 2021, NBC affiliate KOBI-TV reported that the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office announced it “anticipates significant progress" in the investigation into Max’s disappearance based on new information and potential evidence. In 2023, the Del Norte Sheriff's Office confirmed to Dateline that Max is still considered a missing person and his case is still being investigated. If you have any information on Max’s case, please contact the Del Norte Sheriff's office at (707) 464-4191.

Karlie’s father, Zachary, told Dateline that Karlie seemed “disoriented” before she went to bed, but would not comment further on her condition. Melissa said she went to Karlie’s room early the next morning to check on her stepdaughter, but Karlie was nowhere to be found. Five months later, Melissa appeared on the Dr. Phil daytime talk show, and told Dr. Phil she had lied to NBC when she spoke to Dateline. “Melissa, you told NBC, the next morning that at 5:45 a.m., you did your usual routine of opening up the kids’ doors, saying good morning, getting them ready for school -- that sort of thing. Did you -- she was still in bed at that time -- did you go back and lay down?” Dr. Phil asked Melissa on the show which aired on March 25, 2019. “No. That -- the Dateline NBC?” Melissa answered. “Yeah, that was a false story. Because I wasn’t – it was a lie about checking in on Karlie. Because it was in the beginning, and I didn’t know what to say and – I shouldn’t have even done the interview.” Karlie’s mother, Lindsay Fairley, who lives in Nevada, told Dateline in 2018 that she had been sick to her stomach from the pain her daughter’s disappearance had caused. Authorities say Karlie was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and gray sweatpants. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to Karlie’s discovery. If you have any information about Karlie’s disappearance, please call the Mono County Sheriff’s Office at 760-932-7549 or email them directly at karliegusetips@monosheriff.org.

By October, he had been arrested and charged with her murder. At a press conference on October 20, 2021, authorities released details alleging that Larry Millete used a black Lexus to transport Maya’s body on January 8, 2021. The last recorded activity on Maya’s phone was on January 8. San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan revealed that Maya had scheduled an appointment with a divorce lawyer on January 12, but never made it. The DA noted that in 2020 Larry Millete had been visiting “spellcasters” — people purporting to wield magical powers of persuasion — in an effort to make Maya want to stay in the relationship. In June of 2022, Millette’s defense attorney, Bonita Martinez, raised doubt as to her client’s competency to stand trial, which halted the criminal case. In September of 2022, San Diego Superior Court Judge Cindy Davis found Millete to be mentally competent. According to NBC affiliate NBC7 San Diego, his trial is scheduled for January of 2024. Maya’s sister Maricris made a promise to Maya’s children to find their mother’s body. If you have any information on the case or that can help locate Maya’s body, please call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477, or CVPD at 619-691-5151.

Police have said their investigation led them to the Chiquita Canyon Landfill, about 40 miles northwest of the downtown location where Heidi was last seen. “Forensic evidence was located inside the building which has led detectives to believe an incident occurred resulting in Planck’s death,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in an online statement. On November 29, 2021, Los Angeles police began searching the California landfill for evidence connected to Heidi’s disappearance. Police said in the same statement that they were looking in "a specific area" of the landfill for human remains. Police also asked for tips from anyone who was at the residential building at 1201 S. Hope St., listed online as the Level Downtown Flower building, on or around October 17. In August 2022, Dateline featured Heidi’s case in season one of the podcast series Dateline: Missing in America. Josh Mankiewicz spoke with KNBC reporter Eric Leonard who has been covering the case in Los Angeles. "By combining the videos that captured who goes in and out, the access controls that record date, time, doorways of who goes in and who goes out,” he said, “they were able to narrow down who could have been involved and began to focus the investigation on them.” Leonard also told Dateline that "there was a pretty clear understanding amongst the investigators that she had attended a party or get-together and went into distress -- had some kind of medical episode.” He added that “Police were able to confirm that she -- after she died -- was likely put into an upper floor trash chute and her body fell into a giant industrial-sized dumpster and trash compactor in the ground floor of the building.” Heidi's remains have still not been located. Anyone with information on Heidi’s case is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department, Missing Persons Unit, at (213) 996-1800 or 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247).

Billie said she reached out to Danielle’s boyfriend, who told her they had been broken up for a month. Billie mentioned that when Danielle visited her on August 21, 2022, there was a man with her daughter whom she didn’t recognize and who didn’t come into her house. Dateline attempted to contact both men, but was unable to get in touch with either of them for comment. Billie said she reported Danielle missing to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office on September 13, 2022. Dateline has been in touch with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office for an update on the investigation, but they haven’t yet provided additional information. Billie told Dateline that in November of 2022, a few months after Danielle disappeared, she received screenshots from several of her daughter’s friends showing messages they’d gotten from her Facebook account. Billie does not believe the messages were actually sent by her daughter. In February of 2023, the NBC Los Angeles affiliate, NBC4, posted about Danielle’s case, stating that six months in, the police were still looking for Danielle but that homicide detectives were now investigating the case. At the time she went missing, Danielle had long brown curly hair. She is 5’2” and weighs about 140 lbs. She has brown eyes, and a fairy tattoo on her back.

Dateline spoke with Stacey’s daughter Nicole Santos-Hammann in early 2017. She said her mother was usually in daily contact with family, as most of them lived in the Lewiston area. In fact, they’d all gotten together on October 2, to celebrate Stacey’s mother’s 74th birthday. But later that week, Nicole stopped hearing from her mother. Concern quickly grew, especially after news of Stacey’s grandmother’s death when no one could get ahold of her. “I called and it was disconnected,” Nicole said. “So I drove up there. No one answered the door. I left a note asking that my mother call me – that it was urgent. I never got a call.” Nicole said the family reported Stacey missing on November 2, 2016. A Facebook page called ‘Help Find Stacey Smart’ has been created for Stacey’s family and friends to post information about her case. Detective Josh Ford with the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office told Dateline in 2023 that the investigation is still active, though they currently have no leads. He said that the department is hoping to bring closure and answers to the family, but "we unfortunately just don't have any." Ford confirmed that there is an active $10,000 reward for information leading to Stacey’s case being closed. Stacey is described as being 5’8”, and 180 lbs., with blonde hair and blue eyes. If you have any information, you are urged to call the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 623-3740 or Trinity County Witness Program at 530-623-8138.

An Air Force veteran and father of three, Michael was going through a divorce at the time, but family members said there were absolutely no red flags in his personal life that would have led to his disappearance. Because he was an avid swimmer, they fear he may have gone in the water for a late-night dip. However, none of Michael’s belongings were found on the beach. "It has always been our belief that he either went swimming, or accidentally fell off of the pier, and was lost at sea; which explains why neither him nor his property were ever located," former lead investigator Joshua Troz told Dateline in an email in 2023. "The LA County Lifeguard scuba team even checked under the pier twice back in 2016, and didn’t find any of his property." Troz also told Dateline that "there's no belief at this time that foul play was involved, and there have been no major breaks in the case since he went missing in 2016." Regardless, Troz said that Michael's case "remains open even though there are no more leads to work at this point." A Facebook page named “Find Mike Vanzandt'' was created to aid in his discovery. If you have any information regarding Michael’s case, please call the Hermosa Beach Police Department at (310) 318-0360.

Tabitha said that during their conversation, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. On February 4, one of Miranda’s children called Tabitha and said that she hadn’t been home in two days. Tabitha called Miranda’s roommate, who confirmed that she hadn’t heard from her, either. Tabitha told Dateline that it’s unusual for her daughter to go days without reaching out.

The vehicle had been left there overnight. The next day at 7:20 a.m., an unidentified person can be seen getting into Schelling’s car and driving away. The car was found abandoned a week later at Saint Mary Corwin Medical Center. In November of 2017, tips led police to conduct searches in several different areas of Pueblo in connection with Kelsie’s case, but authorities told Dateline they were unable to find anything of significance. On December 1, 2017, police arrested Donthe Lucas for the first-degree murder of Kelsie. Lucas pleaded not guilty. In March 2021, after just a few hours of deliberations, a Pueblo County jury found Donthe Lucas guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In June 2022, Dateline featured Kelsie’s case in the original Peacock TV series “The Last Day.” Police told Dateline they have searched multiple locations over the years, but have not found Kelsie’s body. According to the family’s website, they are offering up to a $50,000 reward for “information leading to Kelsie's direct return or to her location."

After not hearing from their daughter for several days, Charlene’s parents reported her missing on July 8, 2016. In March of 2018, authorities concluded a search of a landfill north of Denver in connection to Charlene’s case and while they did not find her body, they did find some of her clothes and the body of a small dog wrapped in a red sweater believed to have been Charlene’s missing Chihuahua, Toby. The dog had been decapitated. In June 2020, an Arapahoe County grand jury in Colorado indicted Jeff Beier for Charlene’s murder. According to the affidavit, investigators believe Beier dumped the items at Tower Landfill in Commerce City, Colorado on July 2, 2016. He is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree felony murder, sexual assault, two counts of tampering with evidence, third-degree assault and two counts of attempting to influence a public servant, by misleading authorities about Charlene’s disappearance. He is also charged with aggravated animal cruelty. Shortly after Charlene vanished, Beier moved to Russia, where he spent time in custody pending a decision on extradition. If convicted, he faced a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. In November of 2023, Eric Ross, the Media Relations Director for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, told Dateline that “there is an active warrant for Jeffrey Beier’s arrest and extradition.” According to Ross, Beier is currently believed to be in Russia, but is no longer in custody. “The indictment was filed in August of 2019,” Ross told Dateline. “We received notices of his detainment in Russia in May 2020 - during the pandemic. It’s unclear exactly when he was released by Russian authorities.” Ross also told Dateline that the DA’s Office may have “better luck” getting Beier extradited if he flees to another country, but added that “he has to be re-arrested first and then the extradition process can begin again.” Charlene’s body has not been found. If you have any information regarding Charlene’s case, please call the Littleton Police Department at (303) 794-1551.

Eddie told police that they got a hotel room while awaiting car repair. After an ongoing argument, Kelley left the hotel room but continued to text her boyfriend. Just before 1:00 a.m. on July 15, Kelley left a voicemail for her boyfriend stating she was “getting in a car.” Her purse with money and ID were left behind in her own car at the hotel, but her phone and guitar were missing. Captain Rountree told Dateline that several people have been interviewed on multiple occasions, including locals who came into contact with the couple during their time in Suwannee County, the hotel guests, and Kelley’s boyfriend, Eddie. In 2020, Eddie told Dateline that he felt like he should have been there to protect her. Following Kelley’s disappearance, Eddie told Dateline, he stayed in Live Oak for four days searching for her, hanging fliers and talking to the locals. Kelley is 5’5”, weighs approximately 130 lbs., and has blue eyes and black hair that is graying. She has a circle tattoo on her right hand near her thumb.

In November of 2023, Captain Rountree confirmed Kelley’s case is still open and active. “Although they are certainly not as frequent, I am continuing to try and follow up on interviews,” he wrote in an email. He also confirmed that “foul play is considered a strong possibility at this point due to the time and circumstances surrounding Kelley's disappearance, but no current evidence can confirm this.” Captain Rountree told Dateline that there are currently no suspects, and that they “have only considered persons of interest in this case as there is a lack of physical evidence confirming Kelley's current status, or contributing to the belief that foul play has been perpetrated against her.” Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Live Oak Police Department at 386-362-7463.

On July 28, Leila’s pickup truck was found abandoned in a Walmart parking lot in Hollywood, two miles from where her son had been found. In August 2020, federal agents arrested Shannon Demar Ryan in Florida and charged him with kidnapping in connection to Leila’s disappearance. Shortly before Ryan’s arrest, he posted a video online discussing how he met up with Leila at a RaceTrac gas station in Hollywood on July 25, 2020 to buy her truck before she disappeared. According to the arrest affidavit provided to Dateline, Ryan told investigators he paid $3,000 to Leila for her truck and the three of them left in his 2004 Gold Lexus ES 330 to spend the day at Fort Lauderdale Beach, leaving the truck behind. He told investigators that when they returned, he parked at the gas pumps at RaceTrac and Leila and her son left in a dark sedan with several unknown men. He stated it was the last time he saw her. According to the affidavit, law enforcement reviewed the security footage from the RaceTrac gas station, which did not show Ryan’s car at the pumps as he described, and did not show Leila leaving in a dark sedan. Investigators say a car resembling Ryan’s was spotted on security video in front of the apartment complex in Miramar just minutes before Leila’s son was found. On August 15, 2020, law enforcement officials searched Ryan’s Lexus and discovered a half-empty container of all-purpose cleaner with bleach, several black trash bags and a white powdery substance. In October 2020, the FBI in Miami searched the Monarch Hill Landfill in Pompano Beach, but did not release further details in the investigation, or how they were able to zero in on the landfill. “The FBI continues to actively pursue every lead related to this investigation,” the department said in a statement. “We are still seeking information about Leila Cavett’s disappearance.” Ryan is facing felony charges of second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and child neglect – all connected to Leila’s disappearance. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He is being held at Broward County Jail without bond and is expected back in court on December 15, 2023. Dateline spoke with Deanna Bettineschi, the Public Information Manager of the Hollywood Police Department, in November of 2023, who confirmed that while a case is typically closed by arrest, since Leila is still missing authorities are still asking the public if they have any information, to call the Hollywood Police Department at 954-967-4636.

That same night, security footage at a Circle K gas station in Reddick captured Sara in a black truck with two men. According to Public Information Officer Zachary Moore of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, “it is believed that she was wearing a tan shirt with sequins or a black faded sweater with hoodie that has a logo of a hockey goalie and the words “Goalie Academy” on the front.” The PIO told Dateline that what authorities know for certain is that “Sara was given a ride from a convenience store to a residence located at 18080 North U.S. Highway 441, in Reddick.” Moore said she was dropped off there with a man who resided at that address and spent some amount of that night at that location. “Sometime after midnight, Sara either left that residence alive, or she didn’t,” PIO Moore said. He added that the residents of that house told police that she left their home in a “newer model, blue sedan, possibly a Hyundai, driven by a man who was described as being a driver for ‘Uber,’ who was Hispanic, in his mid-30’s, approximately 5’8” tall, with a thin build and long dark hair.” Authorities have confirmed Sara did not order any Uber services on the night she disappeared but have not ruled out the possibility that someone could have given her an “off-the-books” ride. Despite not knowing exactly what happened that evening, Moore told Dateline in an email that “it’s been clear for some time that something has happened to Sara” due to her “pattern of life” stopping entirely and no activity on her social media or financial accounts. Sara is described as 5’2”, 116 lbs., with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a tattoo on her lower right hip of Kokopelli, a fertility deity. PIO Moore told Dateline that the Marion County Sheriff’s Office will continue to investigate any tips that come in and urge anyone with information about Sara’s disappearance to call their non-emergency line at (352) 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers of Marion County at (352) 368-7867 to submit an anonymous tip.

Houck's brother, who worked as a Bardstown police officer, was terminated from the department after officials say he interfered with the investigation into the case. Officials have said they believe Crystal is dead, but her body has not been found. Crystal’s parents, Tommy and Sherry Ballard, were the driving force behind “Team Crystal,” a group made up of family and friends and members of the Bardstown community determined to bring Crystal home. In November 2016, just over a year after Crystal’s disappearance, Tommy was shot and killed on his family property next to the Bluegrass Parkway. The homicide remains unsolved. In August 2020, the FBI took over as the lead agency in Crystal’s case. More than 150 state and federal law enforcement officers arrived in Bardstown and executed new search warrants at several properties connected to Brooks Houck. In the summer of 2021, FBI agents began excavation efforts at a home in a subdivision linked to Brooks Houck in Bardstown. In August 2021, the FBI announced in a tweet that it had concluded those search efforts. According to the statement, several “items of interest” were sent to the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, but the FBI has remained silent on the details of their findings. In October 2022, FBI Louisville announced in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that they were "conducting judicially authorized activity” at an address in Bardstown “in relation to the federal investigation into the disappearance of Crystal Rogers." They did not reveal what was uncovered during that investigation. In the summer of 2023, a man named Joseph Lawson was indicted in connection to the case. He was charged with conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence. He has pleaded not guilty. On September 27, 2023, authorities arrested Brooks Houck for Crystal's murder. He was charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence, according to an unsealed indictment. Houck has pleaded not guilty to all charges and will be back in court in early 2024. The FBI urges those who may have information about the case to come forward. The FBI's Crystal Rogers Task Force website was created so people can share information regarding the case. There is a $25,000 reward for information that leads to Crystal’s whereabouts. If you have any information regarding Crystal’s case, please contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI, CrystalRogersTaskForce.com/tips or visit www.crystalrogerstaskforce.com.

The Graves County Sheriff’s Department told Dateline in 2018 that through search warrants, they collected and sent more than 30 pieces of evidence for examination in connection with Samantha’s disappearance.

Zion was picked up around 10:45 p.m. and only had her phone and a little purse with her. Around 1:00 a.m. the following morning, January 5, Zion texted her mother saying “omw” to let her know that she was on her way home. When Zion didn’t return home, Ciera reported her missing. The Eastpointe Police Department, the Detroit Police Department, and the FBI have all been involved in the search for Zion. Earlier this year, Detective Lieutenant Robert Koenigsmann of the Eastpointe Police in Michigan confirmed to Dateline that Jaylin Brazier was charged with lying to a peace officer in the investigation into Zion’s disappearance. Brazier is the cousin Zion had gone to spend time with the night she went missing. He originally denied seeing Zion that night, but weeks later admitted that he had thrown her body into a dumpster.

In March 2023, Brazier was sentenced to 23 months to 4 years in prison for lying to police. A few months later, in June, Brazier was charged with second-degree murder and tampering with evidence in connection to Zion’s disappearance. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Anyone with information that can help authorities locate Zion’s remains is asked to call the Detroit Police Department at 313-596-2260.

In September 2016, officials charged Jeffrey Willis with abduction and murder in relation to Jessica’s case. He pleaded not guilty. At the time he was facing charges for the April 2016 abduction of a teenager who ended up escaping. The teen led police to a van where, according to court testimony, investigators found bondage items and lists of women’s names and addresses. According to NBC affiliate WOOD-TV, investigators said they found a file labeled “VICS” (short for victims) that contained a folder labeled with the initials of a jogger named Rebekah Bletsch who had been found shot to death in 2014. The folder also contained a code for her date of death. In November 2017, Willis was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder in the Rebekah Bletch case. Police told WOOD-TV there was also a file bearing Jessica’s initials on Willis’s computer. On May 16, 2018, Willis was found guilty of Jessica’s kidnapping and murder. Willis is serving two life sentences: one for killing Jessica in 2013 and the other for killing Rebekah Bletsch. On December 3, 2019, Willis asked the Michigan Court of Appeals to grant him a new trial in Jessica’s murder, stating that some of the evidence that the jury saw in his trial should not have been admitted, according to WOOD-TV. The court agreed some evidence should have been excluded at trial, but said that didn’t outweigh other “strong untainted evidence” that showed Willis was responsible for Jessica’s death. On December 27, 2019, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that Willis’s arguments had no merit and that his conviction for Jessica’s kidnapping and murder would stand. Jessica’s body has not been found. Lieutenant Marc Vanderstelt of the Norton Shores Police Department confirmed that officials have still not found Jessica's body. He said that while there are no active searches for Jessica’s body, they will still investigate any tips that may come in regarding the location of her remains. Lieutenant Vanderstelt urges anyone with information to contact the Norton Shores Police Department at (231) 733-2691 or the Silent Observer at (231) 722-7463.

While in the coma, Alasia suffered complications and the decision was made to amputate her hand. After the appointment to remove the stitches, Alasia went home with her boyfriend, and called her mother that evening to let her know how she was doing. When she didn’t hear from her daughter the next day, Charisma called Alasia’s boyfriend, Marlon Billingslea. She said Alasia didn’t have a phone of her own so she usually called Marlon’s phone when she needed to get in touch with her daughter. Charisma said when she spoke to Marlon he told her Alasia had left and that he didn’t know where she had gone. Marlon told Dateline it was the morning of March 11 when Alasia walked out of the house without any explanation of where she was going, despite him asking. He said he followed her, but eventually let her be and returned home. Alasia is described by her family as bright and kind, someone who showed a lot of promise just a few years ago when she graduated a year early from high school and enrolled in a nursing program at a local college. Officer H. Mackson of the Detroit Police Department told Dateline in May of 2021, that they continue to follow up on any leads or tips that come in, but nothing has led them to Alasia. Mackson stressed that, at that point, they had no reason to believe foul play was involved, but encouraged anyone with information to call the police. Dateline reached out multiple times to the Detroit Police Department in 2022 and 2023 to see if there have been any developments in Alasia’s case but has yet to receive a response. Alasia is described as being 5' 4”, and weighing about 135 lbs. She has a light complexion, the name “Kayden'' tattooed on her forearm and her right hand is amputated.

In November 2023, the Benton Township Police told Dateline that Steven is still missing and they are actively investigating his case.

Floyd Galloway Jr. has been charged with first-degree murder in her case. He has pleaded not guilty. Galloway is a former security guard at the MetLife building where Danielle worked at the time of her disappearance. Authorities searched Galloway’s residence three weeks after Danielle vanished. Floorboards, several pieces of carpet, a mattress, and Galloway’s car were removed from his home and sent for testing, according to police. A judge ruled there was enough evidence to proceed to trial after Oakland County Medical Examiner Dr. Ljubisa J. Dragovic testified that he came to the conclusion Danielle died of asphyxiation, even though her body had not been found. In September 2023, key evidence in the case was tossed because of the way it came to law enforcement. Galloway is currently in prison, after being convicted of the kidnapping, assault, and attempted rape of a jogger in September 2016. His trial date in Danielle's case is pending. Anyone with information regarding the case, or who may have seen Danielle or her Jeep on December 2, 2016, is urged to call the Farmington Hills Police Department at (248) 871-2610.

He has pleaded not guilty to both charges. After Dale's arrest, Dateline again spoke with Dee's brother, Gregg. He told Dateline that "there’s no other option than she has been killed and her body some way hidden or destroyed by Mr. Warner." Dale's attorney, Mary Chartier, told Dateline that “a fair and objective review of the evidence—or more precisely the lack of evidence in this case—will show that Mr. Warner did not kill his wife." Dale Warner is currently in police custody with a bond set at $15 million. Dee has not been found. She is 5’4”, and weighs 135-140 lbs.

Teddi told Dateline Nevaeh had run off before and was initially listed as a runaway. “She's bipolar, so she would get in her manic stage – sometimes she would take off on me,” she said. “But she would always keep contact with me.” Detective Dan Seaberg of the Bemidji Police Department told Dateline that Nevaeh had been at a friend’s residence on the evening of October 22 and that is where her phone was found. She has not been active on any social media since, which is out of character for the teen. “We did some ground searches, drone searches, and canine searches in the immediate area where she was last seen,” Det.

They were on the water for a couple of hours when Jessica reportedly got out of the boat and made her way toward the north river bank in the direction of State Highway 30. Her purse and car keys were left behind. Her cell phone was later turned in by an individual who stated that he had it because Jessica and Baggett had planned to call him on it to be picked up at the end of their boating trip that day. Jessica was reported missing by her boyfriend at 10:15 p.m. that evening. Due to flooding, initially only drones with thermal imaging cameras searched the river bottom between the Tallahatchie River and Highway 30. A Mississippi Highway Patrol helicopter searched the river and river bottom downstream from County Road 46. When the flood waters receded, divers searched the river but found nothing.

Corinna left for New York with just her cell phone, ID, and the clothes on her back. Corinna was in contact with family and friends throughout the summer of 2017. Then in August, according to Julie, Corinna’s mother, Sabina, got a letter in the mail from the New York Police Department, addressed to Corinna. “It was a copy of a letter of protection notifying her that the attacker was incarcerated,” Julie told Dateline. “Sabina freaked out, called the NYPD and said, ‘What is going on?’” When Sabina spoke to Corinna about the incident, Julia said Corinna downplayed it. But the family was worried and started looking through Corinna’s social media pages in the hope of gathering clues as to what she was doing in New York. Julie says the reality was immediately obvious to her. “I called Sabina and said, ‘Oh, my God. She’s prostituting’,” Julie said. “One and one was making two. Everything was coming together. If you were to scroll through her Facebook, it was like an advertisement.” Julie said she contacted her niece and expressed her concern. “I said, ‘I know somebody hurt you’,” Julie told Dateline. “But that was it. That was the last communication I had with her.” Her family said they feared Corinna had been entered into a sex-trafficking ring against her will.

A press release at the time stated “Woney compelled his victim to engage in prostitution through force and coercion, and he used both this victim and Corinna Slusser, who has been missing since September 2017, in online advertisements promoting prostitution.” News4 New York reported in 2018 that Ishi was charged with the use of an interstate facility to promote, manage, and carry on prostitution, sex trafficking by means of force, threats, fraud and coercion, and with violating the Mann Act after being arrested. On November 26, 2019, Woney was sentenced to federal prison on sex trafficking charges, according to a spokesperson with the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office.

In December 2019, the Del City Police arrested 24-year-old Tanner Washington on a first-degree murder charge in connection with Faith’s disappearance.

Howard is considered a person of interest in Caleb’s disappearance. In July 2021, Howard pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child and was later sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. The case involved pornographic images of Caleb when he was a minor. Law enforcement officers testified that Howard told police the last time he’d seen Caleb was the weekend before he went missing, when the pair attempted to repair his broken-down truck. Caleb is still missing and his family is offering a reward for information leading to his whereabouts. Earlier this year, Texas State Senator Drew Springer filed SB 129, also known as “Caleb’s Law.” This bill allows first-time child pornography offenders to be prosecuted based on the number of images they are discovered to have been in possession of. The bill was passed in June of 2023 and went into effect in September. If you have any information regarding Caleb’s case, please contact the Nocona Police Department at (940) 825-3281.

When the friend returned the call, it went straight to voicemail. Other friends and family tried to call Deaundrea as well, with the same result. Bridgette said she reported her granddaughter missing that day. Houston Police Department Spokesperson Jodie Silva told Dateline that Deaundrea was last seen being dropped off by a family member at Diva’s Bikini Sports Bar around 10 p.m. on September 21. Silva went on to say that reports indicate that Deaundrea told her family she was supposed to be picked up later that night by a friend. According to Bridgette, Deaundrea was captured on security footage leaving the bar in a white van with an unknown male. The HPD spokesperson told Dateline that they could not confirm the white van or the security footage at that time but said the circumstances surrounding Deaundrea’s disappearance are actively being investigated. It has also been reported that Deundra was scheduled to testify as a witness in an upcoming murder trial.

It wasn’t until day 36 – more than a month after Richard was last seen – that his parents, Robert and Patricia Halliday, were made aware that he was missing. Patricia told Dateline they called Richard’s commander at Fort Bliss to find out why they hadn’t heard from their son and were told he went AWOL. Major General Bernabe told Dateline that mistakes were made in the early stages of the investigation, including failing to contact the Halliday family when Richard went missing. On September 1, 2020, CID special agents assumed the investigation from the Fort Bliss Directorate of Emergency Services after assistance was requested. In 2021, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command completed 65 subpoenas and conducted five search warrants in an effort to find Richard, according to a press release from Fort Bliss. Richard is described as being 5’9” and weighing 162 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes. In 2022, the U.S. Army increased the reward from $25,000 to $50,000 for credible information leading to Richard’s whereabouts. The family created the Facebook page “Find Richard Halliday” in the hope of collecting information that could lead to their son. There, they posted that “the reward was doubled from $50k to $100,000.00 by a private US business group, mostly owned by Veterans.” According to recent posts, the entire reward amount is now $150,000. It is unclear who is offering the additional $50,000. Anyone with information on Richard’s case is asked to call the Fort Bliss CID Office at 915-568-1700, the Fort Bliss Military Police at 915-744-1237 or anonymously submit information at https://www.cid.army.mil/report-a-crime.html. His family has also created their own tip hotline at (941) 677-0060.

The lights were on, the keys were in the ignition and the front passenger side door was locked. Jason’s backpack and clothes were found scattered on the roadway 900 feet away, but Jason was missing. Investigators say Jason was using the Waze app to get home but opened Snapchat at one point, and the GPS tracking stopped. He was last tracked driving on Austin Street and is believed to have gone through the intersection of U.S. Highway 183 or Magnolia Avenue and continued on East Austin Street. His digital footprint ends at this point. Detective Jeff Ferry with the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office told Dateline that since Jason went missing, there have been at least six searches conducted spanning 31,000 acres. In November 2021, the detective said that there’s nothing to indicate that Jason was a victim of a crime and that it appears he was in a single car collision and walked away from the crash. Jason is described as being 6’1” tall and weighing 170 lbs. He has brown hair and eyes, and facial hair. Jeff Ferry, now a captain at the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed in 2022 that Jason’s case was still open and active. There have been no updates in 2023.

The 26-year-old left her job at a car dealership for lunch on April 17 and never returned. She was spotted having lunch with her ex-boyfriend at the E Bar Tex Mex restaurant located on North Haskell Avenue in Dallas. The man left, but police said Prisma stayed at the restaurant and continued drinking until police said she was asked to leave. Security video later showed her running into the garage of the Olympus at Ross apartments along Ross Avenue where her ex-boyfriend lived, but police learned he was not there at the time. Police told Dateline in 2019 that there was nothing that indicated foul play at the time, but they were concerned that no one had heard from Prisma in months. In November 2023, Lieutenant Brandon Ricketts of the Mesquite Police Department told Dateline that Prisma's case is still open, however there are no active new leads. Prisma is described as 5’2” and weighs around 135 lbs. She has brown hair and eyes. Anyone with information about Prisma’s whereabouts is urged to call the Mesquite Police Department at (972) 285-6336.

Lucin is right on the Utah/Nevada border and Dylan lived alone on the property in a camper. Two days after that phone call with his grandmother, Dylan’s mother reported him missing. Candice told Dateline her son’s truck and the boots he always wore were found on his farm. On July 7, 2022, the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office announced that 58-year-old James Brenner is considered a suspect in Dylan's disappearance. Dateline spoke with Box Elder County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Cade Palmer who said that Dylan and James Brenner are "probably each other's closest neighbor, which was maybe 5 miles apart." Palmer would not expand on the evidence that led officials to name Brenner a suspect, but did say that they have collected "substantial evidence" and "it seems like every bit of good evidence that we find points more at Brenner." The chief deputy told Dateline that while searching for Dylan, officials found evidence that supported the fact that "a homicide likely occurred." On March 3 2023, Brenner was charged with “criminal homicide, aggravated murder” and “abuse or desecration of a human body” in the Dylan Rounds case. He was already in police custody after being charged with three counts of unlawful use of a firearm in June 2022. Pings from both Brenner and Dylan's phones suggested that they were both in the same area at the time of Dylan's disappearance. Investigators also found Dylan's phone in Lucin Pond which led to the discovery of a time-lapse video with a timestamp taken at the time of [Dylan’s] disappearance. The video showed Brenner with blood stains on his arms and shirt as he was cleaning a gun. The shirt Brenner was wearing in the video was analyzed and Dylan’s DNA was found on it. Dateline reached out to Brenner’s attorney for comment but has not yet heard back. Brenner is currently facing federal and state charges. His October 2023 hearing was delayed due to the complicated nature of the charges. Anyone with information about Dylan Rounds is asked to contact the Box Elder County Sheriff’s office at 435-734-3800.

Dateline spoke with Detective Clarence Key of the Richmond Virginia’s Youth and Family Crime Crimes Unit, which also handles missing persons cases. He said that the only activity on Angie’s bank account since she disappeared was the direct deposit of her social security disability benefits. Detective Key also said that investigators looked into Angie’s cell phone records but that the department “can’t really elaborate” on what they learned because the case is still open. Earlier this year, Detective Sergeant George Wade, with the Richmond Major Crimes Unit, told Dateline that while Angie’s case is currently being looked at as a missing persons case, the department does suspect foul play in her disappearance. The authorities we spoke to are asking anyone who knows anything about Angie’s disappearance to please come forward, no matter how small the tip. Lovely “Angie” Brooks is 6’ tall, and weighs 140 lbs.

Police say nothing was out of the ordinary with the car. Bloodhounds and cadaver dogs have searched both Renee’s home and the area near where her car was located, but nothing of significance has been found. Friends and family say Renee, who was 49 years old at the time, was a very private person who didn’t have any social media accounts, placing her even further off the grid and harder for investigators to track. Captain David Wells with the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office told Dateline in 2018 that authorities have investigated every lead they’ve received to try to locate Renee. In 2022, the Virginia State Police launched a website to display their database of cold cases. It includes investigations into homicides and missing or unidentified persons cases that have been unsolved for at least five years. The Fluvanna County Sheriff's Office submitted Janet's case to the database, which confirms it is still an active investigation. Janet is described as being 5’7” tall and weighing 130 lbs. at the time of her disappearance. She has short blonde hair and blue eyes. If you have any information on Renee’s disappearance, please call the Fluvanna County Sheriff's Office at (434) 589-8211.

Kessler was the last person to see Claudine before she disappeared. After police investigated Kessler's home, traces of Claudine's blood were found, and he was charged in connection with her death. In August of 2015, a jury found Kessler guilty of second-degree murder and concealment of a body. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for Claudine's murder. In December 2016, the Virginia Court of Appeals denied his appeal. Claudine's body has still not been found, but a Lancaster Sheriff’s Office detective told Dateline in November 2022 that they are willing to assist in the search for Claudine’s body if further leads become available. If you have any information that could help locate Claudine's remains, please contact the Lancaster Sheriff's Office at 804-462-5111 or the Crime Solvers at (804) 462-7463.

Despite searches, police have not found Keeshae’s cell phone, ID, or the small bag of clothes she had with her for her overnight stay. Authorities suspect foul play in Keeshae’s disappearance. The last public statement about Keeshae's case by the Richmond Police Department was on September 26, 2018 -- two years after Keeshae vanished. The police chief at that time was quoted in a press release: “Keeshae’s disappearance remains an active investigation within the Richmond Police Department. The detectives have made good progress in this case, but we are still hoping to get more information to get the family the answers they need.” Since then, no one in the department has spoken publicly about her case. In August 2022, Keeshae's case was featured in our podcast series ‘Dateline: Missing in America.’ At the time, the Richmond Police Department declined Dateline’s request for an interview, but did say it's still an open investigation. In November 2023, Dateline spoke with Richmond PD Det. Sgt. George Wade, who confirmed that authorities are still actively working on Keeshae’s case. If you know something about Keeshae Jacobs’s disappearance, call the Richmond Police Department's Major Crimes Unit at 804-646-0729.

McFadden later told authorities “the meeting never took place.” Police said that a detective made brief contact with McFadden immediately after Sage’s disappearance, “but [he] failed to show up to a scheduled interview with police and reportedly left town.” The Charlottesville Police Department has asked for the public’s help in locating Erik McFadden, whom police have identified as a “critical person of interest” in what they believe is Sage’s homicide. In 2019, former Charlottesville Police Captain Jim Mooney said at a press conference that local and federal agencies have spent “countless months and hours” scouring through evidence, interviews and witness statements. In 2021, Charlottesville Police Sergeant Tony Newberry stressed to Dateline that even though there have been no recent updates, it remains an active investigation and the department has “dedicated resources to the case so it can be worked full-time.” The ‘Hope for Sage Smith’ Facebook page is kept up to date with information about the case. Sage is described as being 5’11” and weighing about 130 lbs., and was last seen wearing a black jacket, dark gray sweatpants, a black scarf and gray boots.

Security video shows Deanne leaving that store around noon. Her car was later discovered parked in downtown Spokane, and it appeared to have been there since November 3. In February of 2016, a man was arrested and charged with using Deanne’s credit cards. He spent several months in jail and was released in September 2016. Neither he, nor anyone else, has been charged in connection with Deanne’s disappearance. In November of 2023, Julie Humphreys, the Public Safety Communication Manager for the Spokane Police Department, told Dateline in an email that, “periodically, a tip still comes in on [Deanne’s] case and detectives follow-up as the information allows.” She added that Deanne’s case is “particularly difficult because we still don’t know if there was in fact a criminal element to her disappearance.” Humphreys told Dateline that “[November 2023] marks 8 years since Deanne disappeared and SPD has not forgotten her,” noting that the department is handling over 100 total cold case murders and multiple missing persons reports. “Each time a case such as Deanne’s receives renewed media attention there’s a chance someone will come forward with information,” she wrote in the email. “We hope that is the case with this update to Missing in America." Deanne is 5’4”, with brown hair and eyes. She would be 43 years old today. If you have any information regarding Deanne’s case, please call the Spokane Police Department at (509) 456-2233.
