For nearly forty years, travelers along Route 16 near Fayetteville West Virginia, were met with a billboard featuring blurry photos of five children. Each child had dark hair and solemn eyes. Below the images were their names and ages—Maurice, 14; Martha, 12; Louis, 9; Jennie, 8; and Betty, 5. Accompanying their names was speculation about their fate.

The small town with a main street barely a hundred yards long, was steeped in rumors regarding the case, with speculation often outweighing concrete evidence. There was even disagreement about whether the children were actually dead. With this episode of Still Unsolved, we hope to find answers. This is the case, of the Sodder Family.

In a desolate rice field, two miles north of Katy, Texas, flames engulfed a luxurious Jagwar sedan on November 8th, 1985. Among the wreckage, sheriff’s deputies discovered charred human remains. The remains were so horrifically disfigured that discerning the gender proved impossible. The police could only look into the owner of the vehicle, and that is where they found their first clue. The vehicle belonged to Edward Gerald Baker, a 52-year-old millionaire from Houston. Subsequent forensic examinations overwhelmingly confirmed the grim truth - the incinerated body was indeed his.

At around 4 p.m., an announcement was made to the shoppers of the Wonderland Mall that a child was missing. As the mall began to clear out, the local police arrived and began to conduct their search for the missing boy. This search would become one of the longest searches in Michigan’s history. While it was ultimately unsuccessful, it did bring about one very surprising suspect - a suspect you wouldn't believe. This is the case, of D'wan Sims.

On January 2, 1935, at 1:20 p.m., a lone man checked into the President Hotel in downtown Kansas City.

He had no luggage besides a comb and a toothbrush and asked for an interior room on a high floor of the hotel. He checked in under the name Roland T. Owen and complained to the bellboy about the outrageous prices of a neighboring hotel. After checking in and receiving his room, Room 1046 on the 10th floor, he left the hotel, only to be seen intermittently throughout his stay.

The staff wouldn’t give his behavior another thought until days later when the man turned up dead, his hotel room a brutal bloodbath.

This will forever remain one of the strangest mysteries in existence. A forty-four-year-old woman lived her life in constant fear of an attacker. Over a span of seven years, she would be harassed by an unknown individual, leading to more than 100 police reports of stalking. They would call her to threaten her or breathe into the phone until she hung up in a panic. They would lurk around her home at night, even going as far as to cut her phone line. Authorities were puzzled by the lack of evidence. Eventually, they would believe that they were being fooled. This led to a near complete disinterest in continuing her investigation - until the young woman turned up dead. This is the case of Cindy James.

Out of the many cases of people disappearing, this is one of the most chilling. It is also one of the hardest ones to make sense of. By all accounts, this man lived a happy and fruitful life with his wife and two children. Then, he suddenly went missing one day. On the same night that he went missing, his wife received a phone call from him, where she heard sounds that may not have even been human. That recording set the tone for one of the most unsettling investigations Minnesota has ever seen. In this episode of Still Unsolved, we look at the case of Henry McCabe.

For a period of time, Blair's life was on a smooth trajectory. But that would take an ominous turn one summer. It started with a near-complete change in his demeanor. Colleagues at the construction firm, who once praised him as a cheerful and dependable worker, began noticing a shift. Blair's recent behaviors included acts of irresponsibility that jeopardized his job security, such as leaving his work site unlocked and exposing valuable materials and tools to potential theft. Moreover, he exhibited signs of increasing paranoia, frequently asserting to others that he was being pursued by someone intent on causing him harm - even to the extent of wanting to end his life.

Between 1979 and 1981, approximately 29 murders occurred in the Atlanta area. The victims, all young black children, were found callously discarded. Their deaths left their families devastated, and the community in shambles. Investigators say that they worked tirelessly to find the killer and prevent more murders, and they would finally have some luck.

Wayne Williams was apprehended for the killings of two young men in Atlanta, who were believed to be victims of the serial killer. The investigators quickly began wondering if there was more to it, and they quickly began suspecting that he was the perpetrator behind the infamous Atlanta Child Murders.

And it would appear that they were correct.

After his conviction for the two murders, the killings stopped altogether. But somehow, doubts persist regarding his true involvement. Some question whether he was genuinely responsible or merely a convenient scapegoat for law enforcement. Some even say that he took the fall for the murders and that they were committed by the Ku Klux Klan.

If there is one dream that you could say is universal, it's becoming a millionaire. Having all the money at your disposal to live whatever type of life you want is a reality for so few people, they're literally known as the "one percent". This dream is especially hard to reach as a black person, unless you want to become an entertainer. But there was one man who defied the odds and started a successful business. Sadly, his success ended with his life at the hands of a scorned lover. This is the case of Lance Herndon.

September 26, 2023, marked seven years since the disappearance of a young black woman. On this tragic anniversary, the young woman’s mother stood in front of a crowd of people and said something very bold. It turns out that for months, the police have kept the identity of a person of interest a secret. They claimed that they were so uncertain of his involvement in the case, that they didn’t want the public to know who he was. That wasn’t enough for this mother. She knew that this man was one of the last to see her alive. She knew that this man had gone to jail for hurting young black women before. She even spoke to the man, and she knew that he was lying about what happened to her daughter that night. Without the help of the police, she decided to take matters into her own hands. This is the story of Keeshay Jacobs.

In May 2016, a 19-year-old from Tumwater, Washington disappeared. Drivers spotted his car abandoned on the highway with his wallet, cash, food, and his cell phone. The Investigators in this case don’t have any evidence of foul play, but consider the missing person’s case suspicious nonetheless. This young man just vanished into thin air and left little to no evidence that could help us figure out what happened to him. The hope is that the attention on this story will help spark someone’s memory. This is the case of Logan Shendleman.

On the morning of Thursday, July 20th, 1995, a woman placed a call to nine one one. Speaking in a calm and composed manner, she informed the dispatcher that her adopted daughter was nowhere to be found. Following the oddly calm distress call, a substantial number of police officers and volunteers descended upon the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma Washington to search for the little girl. The focal point of their efforts was the nearby Target store. Despite their exhaustive search that lasted several hours on that fateful Thursday, they found no trace of her. It was as though she had vanished without a trace.

It was the morning of Tuesday, November 16, 1999. It was an eerie time on a quiet street in Charlotte North Carolina. The serene atmosphere was interrupted when a distress call reached the police dispatch shortly before twelve thirty a.m.. The operator asked whether police, fire, or medical assistance was required, and The response came urgently. "Police. I've been shot. I've been shot."

He didn’t have a single enemy. In fact, he was consistently described as "everybody's friend". On one hand, he was known as a quiet homebody who kept to himself. On the other hand, there wasn't a person he came across who didn't love their interaction with him. But there was one night where that was challenged. The young man was in a place where he was immediately seen as an outsider, and he was surrounded by friends who continued to leave him throughout the night. By the time it was all said and done, the young man was gone forever. To this day, no one can provide any answers for his mother. This is the case of Alonzo Brooks.
