October 24, 1953 was a typical fall Friday night in La Crosse, Wisconsin. La Crosse State College was playing their homecoming game, and families and students filled the stands.

Fifteen-year-old Evelyn Hartley was supposed to be at that game too, but at the last minute, she agreed to help a family friend and babysit their toddler so the parents could go to the game themselves. She brought her schoolbooks and planned to spend the night studying after the baby went to bed. It was supposed to be a quiet evening, and an opportunity for Evelyn to make some extra money.

But when Evelyn’s father tried to call her later that night and didn’t get an answer, something didn’t sit right with him. He got in his car and drove over to the house where she was babysitting. What he found wasn’t just unsettling—it was a scene that would spark one of the most intense missing persons investigations in Wisconsin's history.

Anyone with any information about Evelyn Hartley’s disappearance is urged to call the La Crosse Police Department at 608-785-5962.

On August 27, 2006, two-year-old Trenton Duckett was tucked safely into bed at his home in Leesburg, Florida. But when his mother, Melinda Duckett, went to check on him, she said she found an open window, a sliced screen, and an empty bed. She immediately called 911, launching a frantic search for the missing toddler. But as investigators dug deeper, Melinda's story began to fall apart, and in its place was deception, a bitter custody dispute, and a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

Anyone with information related to the disappearance of Trenton Duckett is urged to call the Leesburg, Florida police department at 352-787-2121.

In 2015, 19-year-old Katelin Akens was getting ready to start a new life. The teenager fell in love, and left her small Virginia town to move across the country to Arizona with her fiancee. She was living her life and making changes, but when her sister gave birth to a son that December, Katelin immediately flew home to meet her new nephew. The trip was a short one, only about four days. She had a plane ticket back to Arizona on December 5, but she never made it to the airport. Six years later, Katelin still hasn’t been found, but her family believes they know exactly who knows the full story.

If you have any information on Katelin Akens’s whereabouts, please contact the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office at 540-582-7115.

On August 12, 2013, 25-year-old Tiffany Daniels left work early and asked her boss for a few days off so she could take care of some things. After stopping by her house briefly, she drove off in her Toyota 4-Runner, and was never seen again. When no one could get in touch with Tiffany, her friends and family couldn’t imagine where she had gone. She hadn’t told them about any plans to travel, or leave her home in Pensacola, Florida.

Then, eight days after she was last seen, Tiffany’s car and her belongings were found nearby. With no signs of foul play, no one could figure out what happened to the big-hearted artist whom everyone loved. Now, over a decade later, people all around Florida and beyond are still asking the same question: Where is Tiffany Daniels?

Anyone with information about Daniels is asked to call the Pensacola Police Department at (850) 435-1979 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 436-9620.

On May 12, 2018, 65-year-old Stephanie Tyson left her home, her car, and her belongings. She apparently set off on foot in the woods near the Graysville, Tennessee home that she had been sharing with her boyfriend, Wayne Griffith. A massive search ensued, but it was called off after authorities determined that she didn’t want to be found.

Is Stephanie a survivalist who left on her own accord to start a new life in the Tennessee wilderness? Or, as her friends and family suspect, did something much worse happen to Stephanie?

If you have any information on Stephanie’s disappearance, please contact the Bledsoe County Sheriff’s Department at (423) 447-2197.

This episode was originally released February 10, 2022. Kierra is still missing, but her case is extremely solvable. Please share and help get the word out so we can get her back in the news and force law enforcement to act.

Everything was going Kierra Coles’s way. She had a good-paying job with the United States Postal Service, she had just bought a car, and she had gotten her own apartment that she was sharing with her boyfriend. They had even decided to start a family. In October of 2018, Kierra was three months pregnant and loving life. But one day, Kierra disappeared. What followed was an investigation that offered up more questions than answers, including a last sighting that may not have been the last time she was seen at all. Kierra’s family is still searching for their daughter and her unborn child, and we're hoping that you can help get them justice.

Anyone who has any information on Kierra Coles’s disappearance, please call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 877-876-2455 and provide a case identification number, 2693502-WPV. Or, call the Chicago Police Special Victims Unit at 312-747-8274.

When Tyler Goodrich’s husband, Marshall Vogel, asked him what his perfect night would be, Tyler said, “A movie night with our kids and pizza and just hanging out.” So that’s how they decided to spend the evening of November 3, 2023. Tyler picked up a pizza from Costco on his way home from work around 5:30 and settled in for a movie with Marshall and their youngest son. But just two hours later, Tyler and Marshall got into an argument, and Tyler left the house. He hasn’t been seen since.

Tyler has now been missing for over a year, and not one scrap of physical evidence has been found. How did a strong, healthy, 35-year-old man with a huge network of friends and family who loved him, simply vanish without a trace? Did he decide to disappear, or did something much worse happen to Tyler Goodrich?

If you have any information on Tyler’s whereabouts, please contact the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office at 402-441-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
