The Missing Found is an investigative true crime podcast that focuses on missing person cases in the Black community that are left unsolved and cold.Statistically, African Americans receive far less media coverage than our White counterparts. According to The Black and Missing Foundation, in 2021, African Americans make up only 13% of the United States population, but our missing person percentage sits at 37%. It’s impossible to report on every case of a missing person in the country, but the divide between us and other races are severely disproportionate when it comes to media coverage.To challenge this, we started The Missing Found podcast to bring light to cases deemed unsolved and cold to offer a renewed perspective with only the hard facts, breakdown every case detail, and the possibilities thereafter.We thank you for your viewership. We look forward to conducting comprehensive analyses into the unsolved missing person cases of those who look like us.

On the cold day of Wednesday, March 11, 1987 in South Bend, Indiana, sixteen year old Sandra Powell was just four days away from her seventeenth birthday. Just a year prior, in 1986, Sandra testified at a murder trial involving the shooting of one of her friends. Sandra was also four months pregnant; and in the days leading up to her disappearance, she received some upsetting news from the father of her unborn child. It’s almost like Sandra was there one day then gone the next, without a trace and no explanation.When it comes to the murder trial she testified in, there were threats, as she wasn’t the only witness, but is that an explanation to this mystery?What do you think when you have so many possibilities, unanswered questions, and uncertainties? Even with a possible sighting on a nationally syndicated show. It makes you question if Sandra left on her own for a good reason unknown or if someone had a hand in this. Sixteen, pregnant, and a key witness in a murder trial. We’re going to learn who Sandra was before she went missing, the case details to understand where things started and left unknown, review the timeline of what we know, theories, and close with my opinion. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>South Bend Police Department 219–235–9201<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

39: 16, Pregnant & A Murder Witness…Then She Vanished | The Disappearance of Sandra Kay Powell

On the warm Summer day of Sunday, August 19, 2001, twenty year old Harold Cooper III was in Bladensburg and at some point called his grandmother — who lived in Virginia — to let her know that he was going to visit her at her home. Harold never made it and seemingly vanished without a trace.He was said to have been seen getting inside of a four door 1992 Chevrolet Caprice with an acquaintance.This is where the case starts and ends, but it doesn’t have to.With the case having such little details and hardly any coverage, I want to analyze the little details that we know, question everything, look at some possibilities, and close with my opinion.This will probably be the most elaborate analysis done on Harold to date, but for some time now I’ve been wanting to cover it because he deserves answers. If we get no answers from this episode, the least he can get is renewed attention and to let his family know that we haven’t forgotten and we are still looking.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Prince George’s County Police Department: 301–749–5064<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

38: He Got in the Car with Mystery Person & Vanished |The Disappearance of Harold Clifton Cooper III

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/6/19/16/5f3a0ba9-5b1f-4cf7-ad0f-55ffb80ac80a_marissa_carmichael_-podcast.mp3

On the late evening of Saturday, January 13, 2024, 25-year old Marissa Carmichael had left home for a night out at a club in Greensboro with a friend who was staying with her and her family. The pair was supposed to go to the club then see where the night led them. This night was supposed to give her a break. She was a mother of 5, someone was watching the children, so this night out was well-deserved.At some point, into the early morning of Sunday, January 14, Marissa and her friend ended up parting ways and she ended up with another acquaintance — a male acquaintance, and they ended up going to an Airbnb to attend a party, but they never entered the home.Somehow, plans shifted and she and the male acquaintance had left, went to a nearby gas station, and she was left stranded. Marissa contacted law enforcement at the gas station after her items were removed from this mystery persons vehicle and had no way home — she simply needed help, but there was no cause for emergency. Greensboro PD said they were on their way, and by time they arrived — she was gone.A phone call was made by Marissa later on into the morning, she was calling to get in contact with her friend for help, but then things went dark and quiet.A case as cold as this one deserves a fresh start, a new outlook, and answers.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Greensboro Police Department: (336) 373–1000<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

Case Episode 37: A Mother Wanted One Night Out…She Never Came Home | The Disappearance of Marissa Carmichael

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/5/18/23/9ac00acf-7247-4cf3-9ca2-260e37534455_cherryl_pearson_-_podcast.mp3

In the late night of Friday, January 4 into Saturday, January 5, 2002, in Bartlett, Tennessee, 37 year old Cherryl Pearson was home spending time with friends. Just a few hours prior, on the Friday night before, Cherryl attended the Memphis Grizzlies basketball game at the Pyramid.Everything appeared okay on the surface because Cherryl had plans that early Saturday morning to babysit her sister’s children while she went to work, but that never happened. Cherryl’s sister arrived to her home and there was no answer — no sign of Cherryl. It was odd because Cherryl would not have missed it for anything.As a beloved pediatrician that served her community, known for her promptness and love for children, this seemed unlikely for her to not be present to watch the children. Things just went…quiet, but for reasons unknown.This immediately sparked concern.Cherryl had no known enemies, no issues within her community, but something somewhere in between felt odd, out of character for Cherryl.After concern drew stronger, it was discovered than an odd call came in that lasted only a few seconds…and this call could be the missing piece of thus puzzle or something far more sinister to this 24 year mystery.We’re going to discuss the case details surrounding her cold disappearance, understand the timeline, analyze every detail to understand who may be involved and what they would gain, and close with my opinion.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Bartlett Police Department: 901–385–5565<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

Case Episode 36: The Mysterious 5-Second Call at 1:58AM  | The Disappearance of Dr. Cherryl Lamont Pearson

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/4/23/0/4eed003a-5ea1-4d4c-8a80-e6ba718b6949_toni_clark_-_podcast.mp3

On the brisk, cool, late night-early morning of Friday, March 16, 1990, sometime around midnight, 17 year old Toni Clark had just left her cousin’s home in Oakland, California, after a short visit, and was headed home to San Bruno.On that evening, she was driving her boyfriend’s 1979 Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro was known to stall, and that’s exactly what it did as she was on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.While stalled on the bridge, another driver rear ended the Camaro with a heavy impact, which pushed the vehicle into the barricade. Police were called to the scene, and they arrived within 6 minutes of the report, but oddly, they only found the driver who rear ended the Camaro, but no sign of Toni — the driver of the Camaro — so we think.She just seemingly vanished. The other driver was there, but Toni wasn’t as if the car was either left abandoned or something occurred in that split second.Just a week later, Toni’s mother received a chilling call that opened the door for many more questions, possibilities and…uncertainty.After almost 40 years of unanswered questions, theories, the exact timeline of what occurred that evening, and what really happened, it makes you question if anyone had a hand in this or if it was just an unfortunate accident.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>San Bruno Police Department: 650-616–7100<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

Case Episode 35: Her Car Crashed on the Bay Bridge…But She Was Already Gone | The Disappearance of Toni Clark

On Monday, June 2, 1969, an electrical crew was dispatched in Baltimore City to fix two lights that had burned out on the water fountain in Druid Hill Park, located in Baltimore. One of the electricians had to climb a ladder to access the top fountain when he made a shocking and gruesome discovery — a decomposed body that was faced down in two feet deep water, still dressed in clothing. The body had reached a significant amount of decomposition so it was unclear, at the moment, what happened and how this person ended up in the fountain — located 380 feet from shore.The body was identified to be of Shirley Lee Wigeon Parker, a 35 year old woman who was reported missing five weeks prior. Sadly, her search came to a haunting and devastating end. Though her body was found, there was an identity match, but what exactly happened, how she ended up there, and why, are all questions that are unfound — leaving the family of Shirley and the Baltimore area riddled with nearly 60 years of unanswered questions.We’re going to look at the who Shirley was, details of Shirley’s last moments on record, a recap of events from someone close to her and possibly the last to see her alive, possibilities of how this could have happened, and close with my opinion.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Baltimore Police Department: 443–902–4824<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

On Wednesday, January 19, 1994, in Los Angeles, California, 54 year old Mary Ann Johnson left her job as an account representative at department store, Robinsons-May.No one knew this would be her last moment on record, not even Mary. It was supposed to be a typical day — you know, just another day…but something was different.Mary Ann was separated from her husband, and told her colleagues that she was supposed to be meeting up with him that day — that Wednesday or sometime during that week. That meeting never happened, according to Andrew.It was found out that some kind of warning was issued to her a month before. A warning that leaves us with even more questions and curiosity, and if it relates to what happened later. The location in which her belongings were found were odd — and there may be some messaging behind it. In fact, this entire case seems to be a message — a warning, or even an answer to that warning.For over three decades, Mary’s case was left cold and left us with many unanswered questions, mystery, and tragedy — with very slim details that not even the LAPD could piece together.We’re going to start with all of what we know about Mary and her life before she went missing, get into the case details, the facts, the warning, and close with my opinion.A case as cold as this one deserves a fresh start, a new outlook, and answers.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Los Angeles Police Department: 213–996–1800<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com<h2>S H O P</h2>The Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.Designed as a sacred daily practice, this journal blends faith, mindfulness, and purpose into a simple, grounding routine.

Case Episode 33: The Disappearance of Mary Ann Johnson | The Failed Hit, the Warning, Then She Vanished

On the cold evening of Monday, January 11, 2010, in Starkville, Mississippi, 26 year old Lester “LJ” Jones, Jr. had set plans to visit his fraternity brothers in Jackson, Mississippi for a regular meet up.It was supposed to be a typical drive for Lester from Starkville to Jackson. He even stopped passed his mother’s home in Tupelo to visit his brother before his trip to Jackson.LJ had it all planned out, but something happened somewhere in between. We do know what was supposed to be a quick stop at a local Exxon (now Shell) gas station at the Sprint Mart in Flowood, only 15 minutes away from Jackson, turned to be the last known location of LJ on record. There is footage of him there, but somehow things go dark.Until, there was an odd discovery, a cell phone found in the men’s restroom. It was an oddity because the phone belonged to LJ, but he had already left the gas station and assumingly en route up the road to Jackson.After 15 years of questions, mystery, calls, and theories, it makes you question if someone had a hand in this, LJ decided to leave on his own volition, or something else like an accident. Since 2010, there has been no trace left of LJ or his 2002 Ford Expedition — both just vanished.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Starkville Police Department: 662–323–4134<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

In 2023, Case Episode 9, I covered a case on Asha Degree who went missing in Shelby, North Carolina on the cold early morning of Monday, February 14, 2000 — Valentines Day.Well, there has been an update. It has been 25 years since Asha has been last seen.To give some backstory, nine-year old Asha Degree was last seen by her father after a late night check in on both siblings, Asha and O’Bryant. Asha’s father, Harold, saw both children were sound to sleep in the bedroom that they shared. On the evening before, Sunday, February 13, there was a bad storm with freezing temperatures which may have contributed to a nearby car accident that hit a power pole and knocked the power out. It was a Monday, so in just a few hours they would be up and getting ready for school. However, Asha’s mom, went to wake the children to start getting ready for school at around 6:30am, and she noticed that Asha wasn’t in her bed. O’Bryant later reported hearing some noise from his sister, but by then Asha was already gone — she was nowhere in sight. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>FBI Charlotte: 704–672–6100Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department: 704–484–4888or your local FBI office.<h2> </h2><h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Case Episode 31: New Text Messages May Reveal What Exactly Happened 25 Years Ago

On the cold morning of Tuesday, February 23, 2010, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, twenty-five year old Tameka Anderson had set plans to purchase a used vehicle from a private seller.She had it all figured out with how she was going to get there, how she was going to pay for it, but somewhere in between something happened and things went dark.It was unclear whether she made it to the end destination to purchase the vehicle or if she even made it to Galvez — the city where the vehicle was.After fifteen years with no answers and no explanation, it makes you wonder if there is someone out there that holds the answers — you know, street code. Perhaps someone close to her; maybe not wanting to talk because they’ve seen something or know something.Details about Tameka’s personal life, including their childhood, family dynamics, and behavioral history, are currently unavailable, limiting the scope of this analysis. However, we’re going to look at the facts of the case, retrace the timeline of what we know, look at the case details, breakdown every element to piece together this nearly 20 year mystery, explore the one possibility, and close with my opinion. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Baton Rouge Police Department: 225–389–2000<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

On Monday, May 4, 2020, DaVohnte and his girlfriend took a 4 hour road trip from San Francisco to Mount Shasta, California. The trip was supposed to be what you’d call a “spiritual retreat” — a trip that his girlfriend recommended. They were expected to return on the next day, Tuesday, May 5 — just in time for Davohnte to attend his nephew’s birthday party, but that never happened.Davohnte’s girlfriend contacted his relative, and informed her that they got into an argument and went separate ways. All was fine, one may have thought, until he was seen on camera walking, seemingly normal, then things go dark. It’s like he just vanished.With odd behaviors from the girlfriend, there’s a high possibility that she may know more than she’s leading on. There’s also a possibility that he fell victim to someone or something in Mount Shasta — especially with the double-sided reputation it holds.Another chilling case that doesn’t have an explanation and no end in sight, but the answers are there. This wasn’t an ordinary trip, and I’ll explain why. We will get into some details about DaVohnte and who he was before he went missing, the case details, information on the retreat destination and about Mount Shasta, theories, breakdown every detail, and close with my opinion.When you mix new age spirituality with vulnerability, you may open yourself up to a multitude of things. In this case, I believe the answers are right there but the one who holds the answers just isn’t ready to talk, I believe. Maybe after this, she will be. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Mt.

Case Episode 29 | The Disappearance of DaVohnte Morgan |  A Spiritual Vacation to a Cold, Bizarre Mystery

On a warm summer morning on Thursday, August 28, 2008 in Prince George&#39;s County, Laurel, Maryland, 28 year old Kanika Powell took off work in preparation for a weekend getaway with a new friend to Pride festival in Atlanta. She used that early morning to run some errands and get her car serviced before they both embarked on the 11 hour trip. Upon returning from running her errands, Kanika was gunned down in her apartment hallway, in broad daylight, after experiencing a series of week-long anonymous and odd visitors to her front door. You have to wonder, who would want Kanika dead? This was no accident or mistaken identity. In fact, the assailant knew exactly who she was and who to target. There were no eyewitnesses, but neighbors heard her voice, smelled the gun powder in the air, and the multiple shots fired that eventually claimed the life of Kanika. A chilling case that isn&#39;t just what happened, but why…and who. We will get into some details about Kanika and who she was, the case details, the strange unexplainable series of events that led to her violent murder, theories, a possible connection of another murder right in the county, and close with my opinion.You have to ask yourself, how can a very well educated, Army veteran, who lived a normal life, with a job that required a top security clearance, be targeted and eventually brutally murdered only steps away from her front door? <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Prince George&#39;s County Police Department: 301–352–1200Prince George&#39;s County Crime Solvers Hotline at 1–866–411–8477 <h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Case Episode 28 | The Murder of Kanika Powell w/ Live Footage of Crime Scene: |  This Time She Didn't Have to Open the Door

Sometime in the early morning of Friday, February 3, 2006, in Tallahassee, Florida, 30 year old Ali Gilmore disappeared from her residence at 231 Loraine Court.Just hours before — that previous day — everything had seemed to be normal. Ali went to work at her day job at the state health department as an analyst, then attended her part time evening job at Publix, as a baker.We know she made it home, got in bed, was reading her prenatal book because by now she was four months pregnant. Sometime after that things went dark.It was out of character for her because Ali missed a scheduled appointment with her estranged husband, she didn’t attend work, and things just got quiet. There has been no sign or trace of Ali for 18 years to today.This case is not what it may seem. Ali had support, she had friends, a husband even through their issues, her parents, but there is something missing. There is a piece of the puzzle that we know is there, but finding the connecting piece is the challenge — a possible motive and a person of interest. I’ll tell you one thing, it wasn’t her husband, James. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Tallahassee Police Department: 850–891–4462<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Case Episode 27 | Ali Gilmore: A Cold Mystery. It's Like She Left in the Middle of the Night

On Sunday, December 18, 2011, in Spanish Lake, Missouri, 23 year old Phoenix Coldon disappeared after leaving her driveway on the 12600 block of Countrybrook Drive.Oddly, hours after she left her home, her 1998 black Chevy Blazer truck was found across state lines in East Saint Louis, Illinois, parked, and seemingly left abandoned with no signs of Phoenix nor any sign of a struggle.Over the last 13 years from today in 2024, there has been several interviews with her parents, a few sightings that were confirmed to not be Phoenix, but one that was rather questionable from a friend in passing. With that, you also have a strange call to her mother around two months after her disappearance from someone in Beverly Hills, and an interesting discovery that populated soon after Phoenix disappeared that led them to an address. The lead in the other state was so solid that it makes you question everything. It makes you question exactly who Phoenix was, who was around her, and most importantly, what did she need to settle and with who…and where is she today.My most requested case, with the most convoluted details to the point where nothing is at all what it may seem.The thing with this case is that there are a number of elements that just doesn’t make sense, but today, we’re going to try to make sense of what we do have. I guarantee that once you silence the public opinion, and actually look at the case from a unique angle with fresh ears and eyes, you may have a difference of opinion of what may have happened.This case is a convoluted one with full of lies, but I believe the answers aren’t too far away. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>St. Louis County Police Department: 314–889–2341<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com ✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

This case is the first of our minisode series due to the lack of details on the case. With that, a full case analysis is not possible right now to conduct.She went missing in Berkeley, MO after attending a job interview. Her moments after are unclear, which has left her family with nearly 20 years of unexplained mystery, until what they thought was and possibly still might be a promising lead — a photo that may indicate something about Kelly or what became of her.This is where we’re left in the case. No intricate details, no updates, and no closure.When I look at these cases, it’s just people going about their day. They don’t wake up and know they will be missing. I don’t believe anyone is prepared for that, especially for a case so cold where they’re gone without a trace for nearly 20 years.We’re going to discuss the public case details that have been reported, the days leading up to her disappearance, and the sighting. We’re going to breakdown every detail and discuss possibilities. A case like this is freezing cold, with hardly any movement, and without any solid details.

Case Episode 25 | Kelly Allen: A New Beginning that Led to Nearly 20 Years of Cold Mystery

On the cold afternoon of Sunday, December 11, 1994, in Livonia, Michigan, four year old D’Wan Sims was reported missing. D’Wan was accompanied by his mom on an afternoon outing at a local mall to do some shopping, but that outing turned grim when he just…seemingly vanished.No trace of him was ever found. It even brought into question as to was he ever there. Law enforcement performed a heavy search in the mall and surrounding areas. Little D’Wan did receive coverage, but it just didn’t produce any positive or negative outcome. In fact, it left the community of Livonia in mystery and decades of uncertainty.An innocent child, gone — just vanished. Like I always say, we know someone doesn’t just vanish.When you look at the facts of the case, it makes you question everything. It makes you question the moments after D’Wan was reported, but it also makes you question what happened before to explain the oddities on the surveillance footage. You will soon see that it’s true that four year old D’Wan Sims was missing, and still is, but you will also see that there is something is missing, something off. There is a missing piece of the puzzle, or possibly a gap in the investigation. Not everything is always what it may seem. Someone knows something, and that someone — our most vital subject, most likely has the answer, but there’s a possibility, as dark as this may sound, that it was taken to the grave. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Livonia Police Department: 313–421–1920<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com ✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

On the cold evening of Monday, December 30, 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, just less than 48 hours into the new year of 2020 — the monumental year that has caused total transformation in our world — 22 year old Tonee Turner went missing in Pittsburgh on what seemed to be just an ordinary day during her from work to home trek.Everyone saw her, they knew her, she was even in contact with family within hours to minutes of her going missing, then something happened and things went dark. Until later that evening, when her family was notified of an interesting and nearly groundbreaking discovery in the most odd location, that could have led to some answers, or just another element to throw things off — and we’ve seen that before. Initially, this was not a cause for concern, but later you will find there may have been something there. <h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Pittsburgh Police Department: (412) 323–7141<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com ✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

On Thursday, July 23, 2020, somewhere along a nearly 2,000 mile road trip — that appeared to be a spur of the moment trip of hopes, dreams, and a what seems to be a puzzling mystery; 28 year old Davante Richardson left his home in Washington, DC to Wyoming to see a friend with what seemed to be a trip to pursue something or a meeting to gain some form of relationship.We know he was in the process of building his business, he had the skill, and was set to go far in his newfound career choice — a talent that he had, but something went terribly wrong. The odd texts, the particular person he was alleged to have been attempting to go visit which is a renowned artist in today’s popular culture, the tweets, an unconfirmed witness statement of a mysterious woman at a gas station, and then everything suddenly went dark — all communication just stopped. Nothing.Until just days later, his 2016 Jeep appeared in a remote location nearly 30 hours from his home in the nation’s capital, but only 12 miles from the artists property.A case like this makes you question everything. Could there be a best kept secret that lies in the vast land of Greybull, Wyoming? Could something more sinister happened? A body can&#39;t hide itself. Either he walked away, or someone had a hand in this.<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>Your local FBI office: <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices" rel="nofollow">https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices</a>Det.

On Sunday, May 16, 1976, in Austin, Texas, 20-year old Jennifer Barton had left home to hang out with a friend to go to the movies. Jennifer spent what we now know as her last moments on record at a local bar. One minute she was there, and next she was gone, but there’s always more to the story.Both friends seemingly never made it to the movie theater. After a quick stop at a local bar, with a friend, two men, a mysterious van, it ended in nearly 50 years of mystery and unanswered questions.For decades, Jennifer’s case has gone unsolved without a trace. Some don’t think she ever left Austin, then some think she may have left to go to California. Some blame her lifestyle as the reason this case remains unsolved.When you look at the details, there may have been some signs leading up to Jennifer’s disappearance. This vanishing of Jennifer may not have come by surprise. It appears she may have knew something was headed her way or harboring a secret.What we don’t know is, was this disappearance executed at random or was it in connection of something she may have been involved in by means of retaliation?<h2>I N F O R M A T I O N</h2>If you have any information or leads in the disappearance of Jennifer Joyce Barton, her current whereabouts, or any information concerning Jennifer, it should be directed to:Austin Police Department: 512–974–5250<h2>C O N T A C T</h2>WEBSITE: www.themissingfound.comEMAIL: info@themissingfound.com ✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations'>https://redcircle.com/the-missing-found/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Case Episode 21 | Jennifer Joyce Barton: A Warning that Shouldn't Have Been Ignored

An investigative true crime podcast focusing on the unsolved and cold missing person cases in the Black community.

The Missing Found is an investigative true crime podcast that focuses on missing person cases in the Black community that are left unsolved and cold.

Statistically, African Americans receive far less media coverage than our White counterparts. According to The Black and Missing Foundation, in 2021, African Americans make up only 13% of the United States population, but our missing person percentage sits at 37%. It’s impossible to report on every case of a missing person in the country, but the divide between us and other races are severely disproportionate when it comes to media coverage.

To challenge this, we started The Missing Found podcast to bring light to cases deemed unsolved and cold to offer a renewed perspective with only the hard facts, breakdown every case detail, and the possibilities thereafter.

We thank you for your viewership. We look forward to conducting comprehensive analyses into the unsolved missing person cases of those who look like us.
