  • In this episode we cover the unsolved disappearance of Guy Pyke, a seventy year old retiree from upstate New York, who vanished, along with his beloved Chevy Blazer, almost twenty-five years ago. 


    Guy was last seen by his wife of 49 years, Arline, when he left their home on Aitchison Road in the village of Evans Mills. Guy took off at around 3pm on the afternoon of April 2nd, 1999, with the intention of visiting family based in Watertown, about seventy miles away. No one has seen him since. 


    This episode hears from Jennifer, Guy’s granddaughter. She illustrates how big a presence Guy was in her life and the impact his absence has had on both her and the wider Pyke family. In the months leading up to his disappearance, Guy had begun to exhibit symptoms of dementia. He would get confused and forget where he was, sometimes whilst out driving and had gone missing for several days on more than one occasion. Jennifer walks us through her grandfather’s last known movements, underlines the various theories put forward about what may have happened on that fateful day and brings us up to speed with her own decade long search for the truth.

  • In this episode we explore the strange disappearance of Phoenix Coldon, a 23 year old woman who was last seen driving away from her family home in Spanish Lake, Missouri, on a cold December afternoon, over a decade ago. 


    Her whole life, Phoenix had been a model student as well as a talented musician and a decorated athlete to boot. She was raised by her loving parents Goldia and Lawrence, who sounded the alarm when Phoenix failed to return home without informing them of her plans, something very out of character for her. Phoenix’s vehicle was discovered mere hours after her disappearance, found abandoned at an intersection in East St Louis. No one has seen her ever since. As the investigation unfolded and police began speaking to Phoenix’s friends and family, it emerged that her personal life had been pretty turbulent in the months leading up to December 18th, 2011, the day she was last seen. Revelations about her romantic life and more importantly, her parentage, triggered some difficult conversations and left her in a vulnerable state. 


    This episode hears from Claudia, Phoenix’s half-sister. She and Phoenix went their whole lives unaware of each other’s existence. In fact it wasn’t until a detective reached out to Claudia asking if she’d heard from Phoenix, that she learned she had a sister in the first place. Claudia walks us through the emotional whiplash of learning you have a sibling you never knew about, only to find out seconds later that they’re missing and explains how reading up on Phoenix’s case and doing some digging of her own, led her down a rabbit hole of discovery and intrigue, whose mysteries puzzle her to this day.

  • In this episode we visit the city of Columbia, South Carolina where, on the night of June 19th, 2001, twenty-five year old college student Shelton Sanders vanished without a trace. 


    Shelton spent the hours leading up to his disappearance driving around the city, accompanied by a friend, scoping out hotels for a bachelor party he was planning. Shortly after dropping his friend off at their home, three loud bangs were heard. Most contend these were gunshots, others say they were simply the sound of a car backfiring. Either way, Shelton was never seen nor heard from again. 


    This episode hears from Shelton’s sister Wilveria, who for over five years now, has dedicated her life to getting justice for her missing brother. She walks us through the events leading up to Shelton’s disappearance, explains how the trial of the lead suspect in this case collapsed and walks us through what she’s doing to keep her brother’s story in the public eye.

  • In this episode we bring you the unsolved mystery of missing Barbara McCray, an 83 year old former restaurateur, who vanished without a trace from her home on Dugdown Rd, in Georgia’s rural northwest. 


    Barbara had recently been diagnosed with dementia and whilst it had begun to affect her memory and ability to get around unaided, she was still fiercely independent. She loved her daily walk on Dugdown Rd, a part of her routine that she kept up right until the day she disappeared.  


    This episode hears from Barbara’s granddaughter Amy as well as her great niece Mary. Amy and Mary are cousins and have been united in their efforts to find Barabra for over three years now. They talk about the pillar of the local community their grandmother was and remains to this day and their memories of the restaurant she ran for years that served its loyal patrons the best home cooked Southern eating money could buy. Together, Amy and Mary bring us through the events leading up to Barabara’s disappearance, their frustrations with the inexperienced and under-resourced Polk County PD and why they personally don’t believe Barabara’s dementia had anything to do with her disappearance.

  • In this episode we tell the baffling story of the disappearance of Tammy Pitkin, whose car was found abandoned on a dead end forest service road in Sweet Home, Oregon, almost 400 miles from her home in Red Bluff California.


    Tammy had recently separated from her husband but was looking forward to the imminent birth of her first grandchild as well as her son’s wedding. She had taken a road trip, starting on October 14th, but told her son she would be home in a few days at the most. Tammy brought her two dogs with her, one of which was found almost four months later in the woods near where her car was discovered, emaciated but alive. 


    This episode hears from Tammy’s sister Airaka. She and Tammy were very close growing up but at the time of her disappearance, hadn’t spoken for more than six years, the result of a family feud that caused them to cease all contact with one another. Airaka walks us through how she first came to learn of her sister’s disappearance, how any bad blood between them ceased to matter the moment her sister needed her and Airaka’s theories about what prompted Tammy’s unusual road trip.

  • In this episode we examine the strange case of missing Florida native Chip Michael Campbell, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the city of Milton, on March 8th, 2016. 


    Chip lived alone in his family home, his elderly father having recently suffered from a debilitating stroke. Chip had just acquired a new roommate, someone known to him, a person he cared for, but who was a known drug addict with a long history of associated criminal activity. She essentially took over Chip’s home, squatting there for weeks after he vanished and was potentially facilitating the production of methamphetamine at the property. 


    This episode hears from Chip’s sisters Laura and Lesa, who delve deep into their family’s history and how a series of tragic events left their mark on Chip from a very young age. They describe how their brother was always someone who struggled to find his place in the world and explain why they believe their brother’s good nature was taken advantage of by opportunistic criminals, who more than likely had a hand in his disappearance.

  • In this episode we cover the baffling disappearance of Andrea Knabel, a 37 year old mother of two from Louisville, Kentucky, who was last seen walking home from her sister’s house in the early hours of the morning on August 13th, 2019.


    In a cruel twist of fate, Andrea herself was a member of a volunteer organisation dedicated to helping locate missing people. By the time she vanished, she had spent almost two years contributing her time and efforts to the searches for dozens of missing individuals, both in Louisville and further afield. 


    This episode hears from Andrea’s sister Erin, who explains how Andrea, an extrovert at heart, lit up the lives of everyone who knew her. She describes how her sister had fallen on hard times in the months leading up to her disappearance and offers her point of view on what may have happened to Andrea that night.

  • In this episode we explore the enduring mystery of missing infant Gabriel Scott Johnson, whose fate has been unknown ever since he was kidnapped from his home in Tempe, Arizona in December 2009.


    Gabriel was abducted by his mother Elizabeth without his father Logan’s knowledge. Elizabeth’s alleged intention was to bring baby Gabriel to San Antonio, Texas, where, thanks to a loophole in state law, black market adoptions had become increasingly commonplace. Gabriel’s kidnapping made international news and sparked a manhunt spearheaded by the FBI. 


    This episode hears from Gabriel’s great aunt Sandy. Following the untimely death of her sister, Sandy grew very close with her nephew Logan, so when Gabriel disappeared, she felt like it was her duty to do everything she possibly could to help. She brings us back to that fateful December day almost fifteen years ago, one that changed her family's lives forever and shares her thoughts about Elizabeth’s motivations and what she believes ultimately became of baby Gabriel.

  • In this episode we cover the bewildering story of Rio Boyd, a 21 year old woman who mysteriously vanished in 2022 and whose family have been desperate for answers ever since. 


    Rio was a bubbly, creative person, beloved by her family and friends, but just like the rest of us, she had her flaws. Hers were a history of drug and alcohol abuse which eventually resulted in Rio being sent away from her mother’s home in Oregon to live with her father in Spanaway, Washington. Her parents hoped that by putting some distance between Rio and some of the more negative influences in her orbit, that she’d have a better shot at a good life. 


    This episode hears from Rio’s mother Kristi. She explains how, sadly, Rio’s new environment had its fair share of bad actors and her daughter soon learned that old habits die hard. Kristi also describes how in the weeks leading up to Rio’s disappearance, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched. Almost two years later, the only clue they have to go on is Rio’s mobile phone, found discarded by the side of the road a few hundred yards from her home.

  • In this episode we cover the tragic story of Debra Marie Melo from Taunton, Massachusetts whose disappearance has baffled the inhabitants of her hometown for almost twenty-five years now. 


    Debra was a devoted mother and friend, who lit up the lives of everyone who knew her. She adored her two children but her relationship with her husband was tumultuous to say the least. When she vanished on June 20th, 2000 she was strongly considering getting a divorce. Debra was allegedly last seen by her husband on Route 18 in South Weymouth, after the pair had gotten into an argument whilst driving and she demanded to be let out of the car. He returned to the site twenty minutes later, but Debra was nowhere to be seen. 


    This episode hears from Debra’s brother in law Steven and her niece Olivia. Coming from two different generations, they offer up their unique perspectives on Debra and the effect that the abusive dynamic between her and her husband had both on her life and the lives of those who loved her. Plus, they share their theories about what they believe truly happened to her on that fateful June afternoon, almost twenty-five ago.

  • In this episode we bring you the strange story of Mackenzie Rae Marken, a fourteen year old Wisconsinite, who vanished from her home in the city of Schofield, on October 11th, 2015. Almost ten years later, the authorities are no closer to learning what happened to her that day. 


    Mackenzie was fiercely independent, someone who was in a major hurry to grow up and see what the world outside Wisconsin had to offer her. She was also a digital native, a member of the first generation to grow up online, continually finding new ways to express herself via the internet. In fact, there are those who believe that Mackenzie’s social media activity, specifically the strangers we now know she was in contact with in the weeks and months before she vanished, played a role in her disappearance. 


    This episode hears from Mackenzie’s childhood friend Christina. Mackenzie was the first friend Christina made when she moved to Wisconsin from Oklahoma and the pair bonded over their shared love for emo music, youtube personalities and flannel shirts. Christina walks us through the events leading up Mackenzie’s disappearance, her own personal theories about what might have happened to her and how it felt to be interrogated by the police as a fourteen year old.

  • In this episode we tell the baffling story of the disappearance of Ahren Benjamin Barnard.


    Ahren Benjamin Barnard, known as Benj to many, was 35 years old when he vanished from Boise, Idaho. Ahren was a born entrepreneur, having started his first business at the age of  21, an exotic fish store which he named Tanks A Lot. By the time he vanished, Ahren had worked as a DJ, a pawn broker and a gun salesman and was looking into starting a limousine business. On the night of December 4th, 2004, Ahren dropped off his son with the child's mother at the McDonalds on the corner of Cole Rd and Overland Rd in central Boise. He was never seen again. 


    This episode hears from Ahren’s mother Vicki who has done everything she can to keep the search for her son alive for the past two decades. She walks us through the investigation into his disappearance, her initially contentious relationship with the police and how one shady figure in her son’s life in particular, may have far more to do with the case than he’s led the authorities to believe.

  • In this episode we tell the tragic story of Antonio Neill, who disappeared in bizarre circumstances in Everett, Washington almost ten years ago.


    Antonio, despite the best efforts of his mother, led a very self-destructive lifestyle, one that left him highly dependent on both drugs and alcohol. Despite several stints in rehab in his teenage years, Antonio’s poor decision making eventually got him in trouble with the law, earning himself a ten month prison sentence. Inside, Antonio turned a corner however and just a few months after he got out, he was not only a year sober, but chairing his own AA and NA meetings. Sadly, a chance encounter led to him falling off the wagon and subsequently kicked out of his sober living house. In December 2016, on Antonio’s first night crashing at an old acquaintance’s place, there was a violent encounter between the two, which ended in Antonio allegedly fleeing the scene. The truth about what happened in that house, has been shrouded in mystery ever since. 


    This episode hears from Antonio’s mother Jenny, who talks about the difficulties she had, trying to keep her son on the straight and narrow and how ‘sober Antonio’ was her favourite person in the world to be around. Plus, she explains how a grim discovery made three years after Antonio’s disappearance, completely changed the nature of the investigation.

  • In this episode we bring you the strange story of Kimberly Sue Doss, who, at the age of 14, vanished whilst travelling home to her mother in Houston, Texas. Her disappearance is a mystery that has plagued her loved ones for over forty years. 


    Kimberly’s parents were separated and she split her time between Texas and Iowa. Uprooting her life several times a year was putting a strain on her relationships so, one day in February, 1980, she ran away from home. Kimberly said she was getting a ride to school but instead, she took a bus to Davenport, where her father resided. In all truth, she preferred living in Houston but her closest friends, as well as her boyfriend, were in the Hawkeye State. Before long however, Kimberly grew tired of life as a runaway and contacted her mother, telling her she was coming back. The last time anyone heard from her, was a phone call explaining that she had met a girl named Kathy on the bus and would be staying with her during her stopover in Chicago. Kimberly never made it home. 


    This episode hears from Kimberly’s sister Schelly, who explains the devastating impact her younger sibling’s absence has had on her family. She takes us through the wild theories that erupted in the wake of Kimberly’s disappearance, such as the suggestion that she was now living as a prostitute on Hollywood Boulevard and explains how the authorities mismanagement of missing person databases, impeded the search for her sister.

  • In this episode we cover the tragic story of David Allen Clark, a 38 year old father of three whose car was found abandoned on the side of the road in Ocklawaha Florida in March 2023. No-one has seen or heard from him since.


    David had two great loves in his life, his family and the great outdoors. When he wasn’t doting on his kids, or talking literature with his mother, he could usually be found hiking his way through the trees and trails of Ocala National Forest. David would regularly embark on multi-day trips to Ocala, which explains why when he went missing, no-one was overly concerned at first. However, after several days without contact, they began to sense something was amiss. David was a very experienced hiker, one who knew the forest like the back of his hand. Other than a broken leg or a bear attack, his loved ones couldn’t imagine any scenario that would prevent him from returning home. When his vehicle was discovered, weeks after his disappearance, on a road running through the middle of Ocala, with its windows broken and its engine disabled, it created more questions than answers. 


    This episode hears from David’s mother Gina. For the past year, she has spearheaded the search effort for her son, liaising with the authorities and coordinating volunteers. She talks about the days and weeks leading up to David’s disappearance, her theories about how his car came to its final resting place and why the forest is far, far more dangerous than it might first appear.

  • The Missing podcast returns to North America for a second season - and in our first episode, we tell the bewildering story of the disappearance of Alexandria Joy Lowitzer.


    Alexandria, or ‘Ali’ to her friends, was just sixteen years old when she vanished from Spring, Texas over a decade ago. Like most teenagers her age, she had her own personal struggles. Her parents had recently separated and she was being bullied at school, but in April 2016, she had so much to look forward to. For a start, she was mere months away from getting her braces off. Ali was also exploring the idea of going to art college and she had recently started her first part time job at a local burger joint. In fact, it was whilst on the way to her place of work after school one afternoon, just a fifteen minute walk from her family home, that Ali disappeared without a trace. 


    This episode hears from Ali’s mother Jo Ann, who, for fourteen years now, has been fighting to keep her daughter’s case from going cold. She reveals everything about the day Ali vanished, how she was initially dismissed as a runaway and why you should never put your personal number on a missing person poster.

  • In our final episode of the season, we bring you the story of Marshal Iwassa, a 26 year old man from Alberta Canada, whose burned out truck was discovered by hikers in a remote forest north of Vancouver in November, 2019, whilst Marshall himself, was nowhere to be found. 


    The discovery of Marshal’s truck prompted an endless number of questions. Who had set the vehicle on fire, what was it doing so far from Marshal’s home and most importantly, where was its owner?  


    We spoke to Marshal’s sister Paige, who has been searching for the answers to these questions for the better part of five years. She shares her theories about what happened to her brother, her frustrations at the lack of progress made by the authorities and her hopes that one day, she’ll finally learn the truth about what happened to her brother.

  • In this episode we cover the tragic story of Clarissa ‘Carrie’ Culberson, a 22 year old woman who vanished without trace from her home in Blanchester Ohio, after a night spent partying with friends in 1996. 


    Carrie was murdered by her boyfriend Vincent Doan, a local man she’d been seeing on and off for two years, someone with a rap sheet longer than he was tall. We normally don’t cover murder cases on ‘The Missing’ but Carrie’s mother Deb’s decades long effort to locate her daughter’s body, means there is still very much a question mark at the heart of this case. We spoke to Deb about her decision to continue her quest for the truth, one that won’t stop until her daughter is laid properly to rest.

  • In this episode, we recount the story of Charles Horvath-Allan, a 20 year old British man, who in 1989, left his home to hike across Canada, and has been missing ever since. 


    Charles had made it as far as the city of Kelowna, where he was last seen cashing a cheque at a bank in May. He was scheduled to meet his parents in Hong Kong that August. The fax he sent, detailing his excitement about their reunion and inquiring about the wellbeing of the family’s cats, was the last time they would ever hear from him. 


    We spoke to his mother Denise, about her decades long investigation into British Columbia’s backpacking circuit and about the impact her tireless search for the truth about what happened to her son has had on her.
