Missing Angels

Welcome to my blog about criminal cases - especially the ones concerning people who went missing as I find this subject very heartbreaking and mysterious. I'm going to gather and spread informations here, do a lot of research and (hopefully) interact with other people who are interested in such cases.

Where is Akia Eggleston?

The 3rd of May, 2017 was the last day when Akia Eggleston - a resident of the Cherry Hill area (Baltimore) - had contact with anyone. After that, she disappeared without a trace. She was 8 months pregnant at that time.

Akia is described as a very compassionate and active person. She’s a mother of a 2-year old girl, whom she had during her previous relationship - they would always sing, dance and play together. At the time of her disappearance, Akia was also pregnant with a baby boy. The pregnancy was known to be high-risk since the baby was breech - the soon-to-be-second-time mother was supposed to be on bed rest, however she was in good spirit and remained active. A month before Akia's due date - on the 7th of May - was the long-awaited baby shower. Relatives and friends of the pregnant woman gathered up and waited for her. She never showed up. Her family started to worry about her and quickly decided to file a missing-person report.

During the investigation it was found out that Akia’s apartment was cleared out - all of her personal items, except her bed and a few dressers, were moved out. A roommate of the missing woman stated that it wasn’t too surprising at first since Akia was planning to move in with the baby’s father. It was also discovered that on the day Akia went missing, a friend drove her around to a number of bank locations - she collected a lot of money which, as stated by the investigator, was also supposed to help with getting a new house. 

There are a lot of theories concerning the sudden disappearance of Akia. As often in such cases, at first it was believed that she may have started a new life under a different name. Her family strongly disagrees with this theory though - they say she would never abandon her 2-year-old daughter. Not to even mention she was pregnant and since the baby was breech, she had to have a c-section. The hospitals were alerted about Akia’s disappearance, however there still wasn’t any sign of her even after her due date has passed. Investigators suspect foul play was involved in this case.

Akia Eggleston is standing about 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. She also has a tattoo of cherries on her left shoulder blade. At this time, she would no longer be pregnant

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT AKIA AND HER CURRENT WHEREABOUTS, PLEASE CALL THE BALTIMORE POLICE DEPARTMENT AT [phone] OR SUBMIT AN ANONYMOUS TIP VIA FBI WEBSITE: <CLICK> - CURRENTLY FBI IS OFFERING A REWARD OF UP TO $25 000 FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THIS CASE.

The Silent Twins

Born in 1963, twins June and Jennifer Gibbons became known as ‘The Silent Twins’ as they refused to speak to anyone but each other. The twins created their own secret language through which they communicated.

In an attempt to get them to socialise with others, the twins were kept apart at school. Later, at age fourteen, they were sent to therapists, and separate boarding schools. These attempts, however, backfired, as the girls became even more withdrawn from society.

After their reunion, the twins spent the next few years shut away in their room where they performed plays for one another, wrote in their diaries, and inflicted harm on each other. Their diaries would later reveal an extremely dark side to their bond. They both loved, and hated each other.

One excerpt from June’s diary reads, “Nobody suffers the way I do, not with a sister; with a husband, yes; with a wife, yes; with a child, yes, but this sister of mine, a dark shadow robbing me of sunlight, is my one and only torment.”

Jennifer, born ten minutes later than June, saw her sister as better than her and grew extremely jealous. Sensing this envy, June wrote in her diary, “She wants us to be equal. There is a murderous gleam in her eye. Dear lord, I am scared of her. She is not normal … someone is driving her insane. It is me.”

After awhile the twins began committing crimes like petty theft and arson. It was this criminal mischief, combined with their severe social disorders that landed them in Broadmoor Hospital, a high-security mental facility.

The doctors at Broadmoor found the twins to be deeply disturbed and even dangerous. During a relocation to another facility, Jennifer, the younger twin, placed her head on her sibling’s shoulder, took her last breath, and said, “At long last, we’re out.” Doctors rushed her to a hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The cause of death was determined to be a sudden, lethal inflammation of the heart. However, during an autopsy, doctors did not find any drug or poison in her body and her death still remains a mystery.

June, the surviving twin later revealed that they had made a pact at Broadmoor: One of them had to die, so the other could live a normal life.

Who is The Babushka Lady? 

The Babushka Lady refers to an unidentified woman who was present during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Eyewitnesses reported that they had seen her with a camera, photographing the event. She was spotted in several film accounts of the assassination. As other surrounding witnesses take cover during the shooting, the Babushka Lady can be spotted standing still and calm with her camera to her face. While she was sighted in much footage and photographs on the day, none capture a clear image of her face. She earned the nickname due to the headscarf she wore which was similar to elderly Russian women. Babushka means grandmother in Russian.

She was never identified thus the footage she captured of the assassination has never been discovered.

The Mysterious Death of Kenneka Jenkins

In the early morning hours of September 10th, 2017, the body of 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins was found inside a hotel’s walk-in freezer. Kenneka had been attending a party the night before in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Rosemont. 

Several hours later, at around 4am on September 9th, her mother, Tereasa Martin, received a call from Kenneka’s friends stating that they couldn’t find her. They explained that she had gone missing when they left her in the hotel plaza to go back up to their room for something they’d forgotten, when they returned, Kenneka was gone. 

In the recently released CCTV footage, she is first seen walking through the hotel with her friends at around 1am after the party. She appears to be steady, and is walking normally. However, when Kenneka is next sighted exiting an elevator sometime after 3am, she is alone and visibly impaired. She staggers out of the elevator, briefly leaning on the wall for support before heading down the hallway.

The cameras next catch Kenneka in hallways at around 3:30am, also alone. She struggles to head in one direction, and nearly falls over several times, but catches herself. The last clip of Kenneka alive shows her stumbling through the hotel kitchen, which appears to be empty.

She walks out of view of the cameras at 3:32am, the last time she was seen before her body was discovered.

Many people question how Kenneka opened and closed the heavy freezer door by herself, and how she went from seemingly fine to what appears to be heavily intoxicated during the time she was left by her friends, and when she is seen exiting the elevator by herself. Many believe foul play was involved.

An investigation into Kenneka’s death is underway, and police are currently awaiting results of a toxicology report that should help to shed some light on the young girls strange behaviour during her final moments.

What happened to Emma Fillipoff?

Emma Fillipoff is an artistic, free spirit who arrived in Victoria, Canada,in 2011 looking for independence and opportunities and some distance from her divorced parents. At first she enjoyed her new life, but as time passed she started having trouble. By November 2012, she’d been living for a few months in a women’s shelter, and one late night, on the 26th of that month, she called her mother asking her if she could go back home to Ontario. Two days later she vanished.

It’s hard to say what happened to Emma. Experts believe she could have committed suicide, because she left behind some cryptic writings in her laptop that pointed in that direction. Her last known steps seem to show a growing mental condition. Others think she just wanted to start a new life. There’s also the possibility that she met with foul play.

So what do we know? On November 28th, 2012, Emma was seen twice in the same convenience store. Early in the morning she went in to buy a prepaid credit card, putting 200 dollars in it. Later, at almost 6 PM, she went there again to buy a pre-paid cell phone. She can be seen in surveillance footage hesitant to leave the store, and looking outside through the glass door as if she’s avoiding someone. She had written in her journal about feeling watched, and a few days earlier she’d been caught by the cameras inside a YMCA leaving and entering several times, apparently also trying to hide from someone.

After she left the convenience store on the 28th, Emma got into a taxi and asked the driver to take her to the airport, but then she said she couldn’t pay the requested fare so the driver left her where he had picked her up. No one knows where she was heading, and unknown to her, her mother had arrived that same day looking for her, but their paths never crossed.

Emma was seen later that day by an acquaintance that noticed she seemed disoriented and in distress, and called 911. Cops found her outside the Empress Hotel, walking barefoot, but after talking to her for 45 minutes they let her go, since she didn’t seem to be a threat to herself or others and had nothing to hold her for. That was the last reported sight of Emma Fillipoff.

The only clue that has surfaced since then is from Vancouver, and it happened in 2014. A man was seen in a store throwing away one of Emma’s missing posters and when questioned by the business’ owners about it he claimed that Emma wasn’t missing, that she was his girlfriend and didn’t want to be found because she hated her parents. Although this man was caught on camera, nothing more has come out of that tip.

Shelley Fillipoff, Emma’s mother who’s lead the search for her daughters, was recently charged with money laundering and the possession of drugs and illegal weapons in her home. Police found them during an ongoing investigation of her son Matthew, accused of supplying cocaine to street level traffickers.

Meanwhile, Emma’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Have you heard the voice? The case of Amber Tuccaro

On August 18th 2010, Amber Tuccaro (20 yrs old) from Mikisew Cree First Nation in Alberta was staying at a motel in Nisku near Edmonton, Alberta, where she was visiting, along with her one year old son and a close female friend after arriving from Fort McMurray. Hoping to catch a ride into Edmonton, Amber got into a car with an unknown male and unfortunately, never returned back to the motel that night and was later reported missing by her mother.

Mishandling’s of the case were apparent from the beginning as the RCMP did not consider her a missing person. When first reported missing by her mother, RCMP asked her if “Amber ever went missing before.” And had made the assumptions that she was just probably out partying. She’s going to come home or that she’d call. This could not be any more further from the truth.

Amber was not considered a missing person until long after she disappeared and only after one month the RCMP removed Amber’s name from the missing persons list, despite no one seeing her. RCMP also destroyed all of Amber’s belongings that were found in the Nisku motel room, without informing the family.

The night Amber went missing she received a phone call from her brother, who was being held in the Edmonton Remand Centre at the time. Amber, while still in the vehicle with the unknown man, answered the phone call. The Centre her brother was at began recording all outgoing calls made by inmates in early 2010 and had recorded 17 minutes of audio of Amber interacting with the male.

2 years later and still no sign of Amber, investigators, at this point, had now considered Amber’s case a homicide and asked for the public’s help identifying the man’s voice on the recording taken that night and put up billboards around the area with a headliner reading “have you heard the voice?”. 

Transcript of the chilling call

Amber - Where are we by? 

Unknown Male - We’re just heading south of uh, Beaumont or north of Beaumont. 

Amber - We’re heading north of Beaumont… 

Amber - Yo, where are we going? 

Unknown Male - Just… (Inaudible) 

Amber - No, this is a… 

Unknown Male - (Inaudible)… The back roads. 

Amber - Are you fucking kidding me?  

Unknown Male - No, I’m not kidding you. 

Amber - You better not take, you better not be taking me anywhere I don’t wanna go. I wanna go into the city, okay? 

Unknown Male - One end of the street. 

Amber - Yo, we’re not going into the city are we? 

Unknown Male - We are. We’re going… 

Amber - No, we’re not… 

Unknown Male - Yes…

Amber - Then where the fuck are these roads going to? 

Unknown Male - To 50th street. 

Amber - 50th street? Are you sure? 

Unknown Male - Absolutely. 

Amber - Yo, where are we going? 

Unknown Male - 50th street. 

Amber - 50th street? 

Unknown Male - 50th street.

Amber - East, right? 

Unknown Male - East. 

Amber - (Inaudible)… Over now. 

Unknown Male - (Inaudible)… Gravel. 

Amber - (Inaudible) 

This is the only part of the 17 minute recording that was released to the public and RCMP have stated that this was the only time in Canadian history they released an audio recording to the public in a murder investigation. You can listen to the call here.

On September 1st, 2012, only four days after its release, horseback riders found Amber’s partial skeletal remains in a farmer’s field in Leduc, Alberta. The police have stated the remains being found just days later was a “total coincidence.“ 

Remains of four other women were found in the same area as Amber’s. They were within a few kilometers of each other in Leduc County.

Edna Bernard went missing in September of 2002 and her body was found the next day.

Katie Sylvia Ballantyne went missing in May of 2003, her remains were discovered in July of 2003. 

Corrie Ottenbreit went missing in May of 2004, her remains were discovered in April of 2015.

Delores Brower went missing in June 2005, her remains were found in April of 2015.

This information has made many come to the conclusion that these women were possibly murdered by the same man and that a serial killer is out there walking free. Amber’s mother has set up a Facebook account in hopes to find her daughter’s killer. She posts the audio of her daughter’s last known words very frequently in hopes someone recognizes the man’s voice.

Where is Elaine Park?

The search for Elaine Park, a 21-year-old girl from Glendale, California, is still on. She was last seen on the 28th of January 2017, shortly after 6 A.M. - she was leaving the house of her on-again, off-again boyfriend in Calabases, California. Her car was found 5 days later near Corral Canyon, on the Pacific coast highway. All of her belongings were inside - the missing girl, however, was nowhere to be found.

Elaine is a Korean-American woman, standing about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing around 125 pounds. She has long brown hair with blonde tips, brown eyes and a few tattoos on her body - a cow skull and moth on her upper left arm, rose on her left shoulder and a flower-adorned dagger on her lower right arm (click here to see the tattoos). Her make up is often described as heavy - she would almost always wear a winged eyeliner. Elaine was described as a very artistic person who was interested in music and acting - she played a few small roles in various TV shows, such as Desperate Housewives or E.R. Her parents got divorced - apparently, it was hard for Elaine and she struggled with bouts of depression.

The night before she disappeared, Elaine left with her on-again, off-again boyfriend - Divine “Div” Compere - in an Uber to see a movie. The surveillance video captures them returning home just after 1 A.M. (click here to see the surveillance video). When questioned about what happened later on, Div stated that at 4 A.M. Elaine all of the sudden got up shaking and singing, which looked like a panic attack to him. Then she supposedly changed and left the house. The surveillance footage shows her leaving - as her mother said though, Elaine didn’t look panicked at all. For some reason the video stops at 6:05 A.M.

On the 2nd of Febuary, Elaine’s car - charcoal gray 2015 Honda Civic - was found on the Pacific Coast Highway, just south of Corral Canyon Road (Malibu). The doors were unlocked and the keys were still in the ignition. Inside, police found Elaine’s belongings - a mobile phone, laptop, some cash and backpack. The vehicle was forsenically processed - according to police, no evidence of foul play or struggle was found. There have been multiple searches both in the cliffs of Malibu and the shore - bloodhounds, cadaver dogs and divers weren’t able to found any trace of Elaine.

This case stirs a lot of controversy. After Elaine went missing, Police questioned the Compere family - they were described as very cooperative. Div’s house haven’t been searched though, which may be find quite strange considering it was the last place Elaine was seen in. Another confusing thing is the time period shown in the surveillance footage. As written above, the video stops at 6:05 A.M., which is when Elaine’s car is leaving her boyfriend’s house. The next clip shows her leaving through the community gate at 7:14 A.M. - what happened during this time gap is not shown on the footage. Since it was very dark, it is also hard to tell if it was really Elaine who was driving the car at that moment. According to the police, there’s an explanation for the time gap in the footage - it may have been a technical issue concerning the authomatic time change. Another thing that can be find quite bizarre is an unidentified car that appears on the footage right before Elaine is seen leaving the property. Div’s house is placed in the dead end of a gated community, which makes a lot of people question what would an unknown car do there so early and how could it stay unidentified?

Currently, Elaine’s mother is working with a private investigator. He apparently has leads he’s following but prefers not to be specific. In opposition to the police though, he believes that foul play was involved in this case. He supposedly presented some pieces of information to the authorities but it was dismissed as theories and speculations that couldn’t be proven with any evidence.

Who was the woman known as the El Dorado Jane Doe?

On the 10th of July 1991, police found a body of a dead woman in the Whitehall Motel (El Dorado, Arkansas). Her murderer was identified as her ex-boyfriend and alleged pimp - James McAlphin. He was convicted shortly after that but it didn’t solve the biggest mystery of this particular case - who was the murdered woman?

After finding the body of the mysterious blonde, police found an ID on her - it read “Cheryl Ann Wick”. The parents of said woman were quickly located and told that their daughter was murdered. Surprisingly though, the real Cheryl turned out to be very much alive - it is believed that her ID was simply stolen and used by the unidentified woman. As it was found later on, it wasn’t the only time she went by a false name - in fact, she had multiple aliases which she used for what seems to be most of her life. Some knew her as Mercedes, others as Kelly Carr, Sharon Wiley or Cheryl Kaufman. Another thing that makes this woman very hard to identify is the fact that she had shared varying accounts of her past - as she told her friend Andrea Cooksey, she used to be a stripper and had two kids who were being raised by her mother. A volunteer at the Salvation Army in El Dorado was told a different piece of information - that she was living in a homeless shelter, had her daughter taken from her and couldn’t take the child back due to the fact that she was using another name. Others knew entirely different stories - that she was in the witness protection programme, that her father was in the Mafia, that she was wanted for bank robberies on the East Coast or even that she was involved in a murder of a truck driver. She seemed to tell different stories to everybody, which makes it hard to separate fact from fiction.

The El Dorado Jane Doe had blue eyes and brown hair that were bleached to blonde. Her age was estimated to be 18-30. She came to El Dorado from Dallas in early 1991 - she was known to have lived in various states prior to her death, including Texas and Louisiana, and was alleged to have worked as a prostitute. While being in Dallas, she met James McAlphin (who got to know her as “Mercedes”). After some time they became a couple - the relationship was known to be abusive as McAlphin was a rather aggressive and impulsive person. On the 10th of July 1991, they had an argument in his hotel room which led to the El Dorado Jane Doe being shot.

Her true identity remains unknown to this day.

Hi I was wondering if you could talk about the case of Elaine Parks, I know there isn't much information still and the case is fairly new but I think the case hasn't gotten much attention. I know minor details of the case including the difference in police reports and those by the family private investigator, but I think many people are just equally confused. If you could do a post about the case that would be great and maybe even raise awareness to a broader audience about her.

Hello ❤ Of course! I’ve read about this case briefly before and I think it’s really sad - I hope Elaine’s safe and they will be able to find her as soon as possible! My prayers go to her mother and friends ❤ I’ll try to find as many pieces of information as I can, research everything that I’ll stumble upon and make a post about it. It would be amazing if it could help spread awareness about this case at least a little bit!

Thank you very much for your suggestion ❤ I’ll start as quickly as possible - today I’ll post a case I managed to finish writing on yesterday and then I’ll immediatly get to Elaine’s case. 

I hope you have a nice day 😇❤

Little Miss Nobody - On 31 July, 1960, the body of a little girl was discovered in Sand Wash Creek Bed, Congress, Arizona. She had been partially buried and estimated to be between five-years-old and seven-years-old and had been dead for approximately two weeks. It was noticed that whoever had partially buried the young girl, had attempted to dig a number of prior graves. Her natural brunette hair had been dyed an auburn colour, presumably in an attempt to conceal her identity. She was wearing white shorts and a checked blouse along with sandals that had been cut to fit her small feet. A small, bloody, pocketknife was discovered near her body, however, her cause of death could not be determined. Despite a thorough investigation, the identity of the little girl was never uncovered. Locals donated money to give “Little Miss Nobody” a proper burial, with a local florist and mortuary providing funeral services.

Who was Lyle Stevik? Grays Harbor County, WA, hotel suicide In Fern Hill Cemetery, Aberdeen, Grays Harbor County, WA, USA, there is a grave containing the unidentified body of a man who hanged himself in a hotel in 2001. The following is an account of the final days of a John Doe who came to be known in death as “Lyle Stevik”.

On the 14th of September 2001 a man checked into a nearby motel in Amanda Park, Grays Harbor County, Washington. He looked around 25 years old, 6”2, with hazel eyes and straight, dark hair that was well maintained. He was clad in stone washed Levis jeans held up with a leather belt, a grey T. shirt with a blue flannel shirt on top and a pair of Timberland boots. Look closely and you’d notice the mole on the left side of his chin. He scrawled his name and address on a piece of paper at the reception desk:Lyle Stevik.1019 S Progress Ave, Meridian, Idaho. Nobody saw how he arrived, but there’s a possibility that he could have gotten there by bus, as he walked into the Lake Quinault Inn motel in correlation with the scheduled arrival time of the local buses that regularly stopped outside. I looked up the hotel name and address and as far as I can tell, it was the “Lake Quinault Inn” located at 8 N Shore Rd, Amanda Park, WA 98526. There is two motels in a close vicinity of each other, each with a similar sounding name (the other being called “Quinault river inn”) but from comparing reports online, it seems that the one he stayed in was “Lake Quinault inn”. I’m confident it is too, seeing as there seems to be trailer homes near the back of the hotel (Lyle apparently complained of noise coming from there), there is a couple of bus stops just outside (probably where Lyle got off) some ATMS (he paid with crisp notes) and a grocery store.

When investigators enquired about Lyle, the person on the front desk who checked him in said she thought he had a bit of a Canadian accent, although he didn’t really speak much beyond the communication needed to book a room and make requests etc. She checked him into room 8 of the motel, then moved him over to room 5 after the noise from the nearby trailer park was disturbing him. He showered before changing rooms, although he denied this for some reason when asked.

When questioned about his character the reception worker commented that he made her feel uneasy and seemed “Spaced out”-she hasn’t seemed to elaborate on this anywhere else or indicated why exactly he was giving her “bad vibes” so that’s all we have to go on.

Now, according to a post on “Throwbacknews.com”, someone who claimed to be the daughter of the maid (who originally found Lyles body) posted on a FB group dedicated to uncovering the identity of the mysterious dead man, that on the second day of Lyles stay she said she apparently heard him arguing with someone in his room. She claims that she definitely heard two voices.   This was on the same day that she went to clean Stevik’s motel room, only to be turned away as he opened the door just a crack and rejected the service. Obviously I can’t attest to this being true or not, it’s just something I found while trawling through search results about the case online. It is true, though, that on Sunday 16th Lyle said he didn’t want his room cleaned, and that he instead asked for two more towels. The following day (Saturday the 15th) numerous people see Lyle walking up and down the highway. They specifically say that he was “pacing” which to me suggests he may have looked like he was anticipating someone or something to arrive or pass. Other than that, the only other place people seemed to see him was on the porch outside of the room, although it doesn’t say anywhere what he was doing. Sunday comes; he rejects the cleaning service and requests two extra towels. Monday rolls around and its checkout time- only Lyle doesn’t check out. The maid opens the door to see him kneeling in his closet. She calls the manager who contacts the police.

Scene photos can be viewed here. NSFW. *GRAPHIC*

It turns out that the man has hanged himself using his own belt with a small towel tucked under his chin. He has 8 $1 notes in his pocket and a pen. It’s estimated that he died late the night before or very early the next morning. On the dressing table there is 8 crisp $20 bills in one of the hotel comment cards, with an accompanying note on the front that says “For the room”. In the draw there is loose change amounting to $2.40, a tube of tooth paste and an oral B toothbrush. In the wastepaper bin there is a screwed up note with “Suicide” written on it in upper case letters, along with a discarded copy of the most recent Daily World Sunday newspaper and an empty cup. The newspaper headline for that issue was apparently news of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. He had received nor made any calls from the phone in the room and the windows were covered over with the bed sheet from the bed. Probably for more privacy or to block the day light. The name he provided is believed to be a pseudonym and the address is that of a hotel-Best Western Rama Inn 1019 S Progress Ave, Meridian, Idaho. Nobody there remembers ever seeing Lyle Stevik when they are shown the photograph. They check for the same name on the guest check in list, but there is no match. That’s not to say he wasn’t ever there- he may have used different names each time he checked into a hotel, or maybe there were different staff on shift / the staff simply didn’t remember him. Analysis revealed that during the last year of his life Stevik had moved to several different places. It seems as though he was traveling a lot and had been doing so for at least a year, probably longer. He could have even come from / been to as far as Canada. Feel free to browse through this report at your leisure it’s a very interesting read and even gives you an insight to the process of the test. He had an old scar from an appendectomy, was circumcised and had some scrapes that hadn’t healed yet on the knuckles of both hands. When tested there was no sign of illness and disease, so that rules out any ideas that he took his life due to sickness as we see in some cases. So who was Lyle Stevik?

19-year-old Brandon Swanson lived in Marshall, Minnesota, with his parents. He was a student at Minnesota West Community and Technical College. An avid reader, Brandon wanted to eventually get a career in the sciences.

It was the final day of college on the 13th of May, 2008, and Brandon and several friends were celebrating their graduation at one of his friend’s house. It was a small gathering and there was limited amount of alcohol. Witnesses would later say that Brandon consumed some but was far from drunk. Shortly after midnight, Brandon climbed into his green Chevy Lumina Sedan and started on his journey home. At approximately 12:30AM, his parents received a phone call from Brandon. He had crashed into a ditch and was unable to get his car back out. He wasn’t injured, he reassured them and asked if they could come and collect him.

As they drove to the destination Brandon claimed he was, they were unable to find him. “He was absolutely positive he knew where he was,” his father said. But there was no sign of Brandon. They called Brandon back and asked if he could see them along the road to which he replied that no, he could not. Brandon then hung up before his father called him back. Brandon apologised and told them he would walk the short distant back to his friend’s house in Lynd where his parents would meet him. Just before 2AM, while directing his parents where to go, Brandon shouted “oh shit!” before the line went dead.

That was the last time anybody ever heard from Brandon. His parents called and called but the calls were ignored. They drove around attempting to find Brandon but to no avail. They then alerted the authorities. When investigators traced Brandon’s phone, it was uncovered that Brandon was over 20 miles away from where he believed he was and where he was telling his father he was. His car was eventually found but a search of it and surrounding area turned up no clues. Police theorised that he may have fallen into the Yellow Medicine River but this is refuted by his family. Cadaver dogs didn’t pick up a scent and his body never re-surfaced. Furthermore, a splash would have surely been heard by his father and if the phone fell into the water with him, then it certainly wouldn’t ring - it would cut straight to voicemail when his parents called back. Another possibility is foul play. Did something sinister take place down that winding, dark, country road?

The whereabouts of Brandon still remains a mystery.

Honestly one of the weirdest cases I’ve ever heard of…from what I read as Brandon was walking towards what he thought was Lynd, he witnessed some lights. He interpreted it simply as lights from the town but, as we know, he wasn’t even remotely close to Lynd (or any other town I think?). Some theories say that it could be another car/s - maybe he was walking towards some road? Wouldn’t he hear the sound of moving vehicles from afar though? Maybe it was just one parked car but why would it be there at the first place? The abruptly ended call makes everything even stranger - some people say that the battery of Brandon’s phone simply died at that moment and he realized it just before it happened - that’s why he cursed. I think it’s pretty logical considering the fact that he probably didn’t charge his phone during the party he was at before the accident - not to even mention that when he got lost he was on the phone with his father for 47 minutes. Another thing is that in an article I’ve read recently Brandon’s mother stated that “it sounded like the phone fell”. From what I heard though, his father tried to call him many times after that happened - it makes me wonder if there was any signal because if the battery was dead, I suppose the call would be instantly cut to the voicemail. Unfortunately, Brandon’s phone was never located so we may never know how it was.

This case is a one big definition of the word “ confussion”. My theory is that his phone either died because of low battery or fell somwhere where he couldn’t pick it up (not necessarily into the river - maybe it simply fell on the ground and got shattered, which would explain the abrupt end of the call?). I think he may have tried to wander more after that and find some safe and familiar place, such as a more busy road or his car, but eventually fell into the Yellow Medicine River.

The disappearance of 21-year-old Maura Murray is thought to be a highly suspicious one. Maura was a nursing student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Before she left campus on February 9th, 2004, she emailed her professors stating that she would be taking the week off from school due to a death in her family. Nobody in her family, however, was able to confirm the family death. After crashing her car into a snowbank on Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire, a nearby resident called the police to report the accident. At about the same time, another neighbor pulled up beside her vehicle. He noted that Maura wasn’t injured, but cold and shivering. He offered to call the police, but she allegedly pleaded him not to, assuring that she had already called AAA. However, AAA has no record of any such call. Since there was no cell phone reception, he continued home and called 911. By the time police arrived at the scene, there was no trace of Maura. The car doors were locked. Inside and outside of the car he discovered red stains that appeared to be red wine. Inside the car there was a damaged wine bottle and empty beer bottle. What all was missing were her cell phone, debit card, and credit card, none of which have been used since her disappearance. Some of her purchased liquor was said to be missing as well. There hasn’t been a single sighting of Maura Murray since the crash.
