On December 13, 2009, Steven Koecher disappeared after parking his car in an upscale neighborhood in Henderson, Nevada. Steven had no known associates in Henderson, so no one knew why the 30-year-old drove there that day. Was he there for a meeting? A job? No one in the neighborhood admitted to knowing him, or to having plans to meet with a young man that day.

As the investigation went on, bank records revealed a series of bizarre road trips that Steven had taken in the days leading up to his disappearance; trips that he had told no one he had been taking. Over the years, as family, police, private investigators, and internet sleuths continued to dig, more questions have come up, but none led to the answer everyone has been searching for: where is Steven Koecher?

If you have any information on Steven’s disappearance, please contact the Henderson Police Department at (702) 267-4750. You can also submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

On December 13, 2009, security cameras in Henderson, Nevada captured a man parking his white Chevy Cavalier at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Sun City Anthem neighborhood. He stepped out with something tucked under his arm, and walked purposefully down the sidewalk. He never came back. Two days later, the car was still there, but 30-year-old Steven Koecher was nowhere to be found. In the days and weeks that followed, Steven’s family learned of a series of odd, long-distance road trips he had taken in the days before he vanished.

As they began to investigate, police were left with more questions than answers. What had drawn Steven to that upscale neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon? Did he walk away to start a new life? Did he meet with foul play? Or was something else responsible? Now, over sixteen years later, Steven’s fate remains unsolved, and his loved ones are still desperate for answers.

If you have any information on Steven’s disappearance, please contact the Henderson Police Department at (702) 267-4750. You can also submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

When 19-year-old Brittney Wood disappeared on May 30 2012, from Mobile, Alabama, it looked at first like so many stories we’ve heard before: a young woman vanished, and her family launched a desperate search, but there was no trace of her. But almost immediately, it became clear that this case was different. Because Brittney’s disappearance wasn’t the only police investigation into her family. In fact, months before Brittney vanished, detectives had already begun to uncover something far more disturbing than anyone could have imagined.

As her family’s secrets began to come to the surface, detectives had to ask: did Brittney Wood pay the price for what her family didn’t want anyone to know?

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Brittney Wood, please contact the Mobile Police Department at (251) 208-1700 or submit an anonymous tip.

What no one could predict was that Brittney Wood’s disappearance would soon crack open one of the most shocking family secrets in Alabama’s history. As investigators searched for Brittney, a multi-generational child sex abuse ring within her own family was brought to light. Now, more than a decade later, Brittney Wood’s fate remains unknown, even as many of her relatives have been convicted of horrific crimes against children.

On March 29, 1989, a young mother met some new friends to go shopping. She had planned on leaving her children with her sister-in-law for the afternoon, but when they arrived, the women told her that she should bring her six-week-old baby, Andre, along. Monique Rivera agreed, and went back inside to get her youngest son. That was the last time Monique and Andre were seen alive.

While the ensuing investigation uncovered devastating answers, so many more questions remain: who were the two women who came to Monique’s Brookln, New York apartment that day? Was what happened related to other abductions of black children in New York City that year? And most importantly, where is Andre Bryant?

If you have any information on the disappearance of Andre Bryant, please contact the New York City Police Department at (212) 694-7781.

It was the beginning of the Martin Luther King Junior holiday weekend in Wilmington, North Carolina, and 30-year-old Ebonee Spears was not doing well. Ebonee, who had been diagnosed with Lupus the year before, had seemingly been having negative reactions to her medication. The bright, friendly mother of one was acting disoriented and paranoid. Things got so bad, that her parents contemplated having her involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital.

The next evening, January 15, 2016, Ebonee told her parents she wasn’t coming over for a planned dinner. That night, when her boyfriend arrived at her home, Ebonee was gone. No one has seen Ebonee after that day. After six years of misinformation and muddled timelines, investigators and Ebonee’s loved ones are no closer to finding out where she went after she walked away.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Ebonee Spears, please contact the Wilmington Police Department at 910-343-3686.

Every parent has done it. We’re out with our kids having a good time, and keeping an eye on them. We turn our heads for a second to order food or answer a question. We turn around, and our kids are still there, enjoying themselves. But deep down, we all have the same fear: we’ll look back and our child will be gone. On January 23, 1999, Theresa English lived every parent’s worst nightmare. That evening, she was with a dozen family members at a bowling alley, and her two-year-old daughter, Teekah Lewis was happily playing a car racing game.
