Hello everyone! As always, I'd like to thank you for your comments and votes on my last post about Starla Goings- I hope that she will be found soon.

Today I'd like to cover another disturbing disappearance case.

BACKGROUND

Allen Fischer and his sister, Rachelle Fischer, were respectively 13 and 15 when they went missing from Monteview, Idaho, USA.

The two siblings lived with their mother, Elizabeth Roundy, in Monteview.

The three used to belong to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS). In 2014, Elizabeth was separated from her children as a way to make her "repent" for having a miscarriage. She was only allowed to return to them after five years, and when she wanted to get her children back, Elizabeth has been instantly branded as an apostate- when that happens, the family is to cease any contact with that person. Allegedly, "inappropriate practical jokes" were played on Allen and Rachelle when they were away from Elizabeth. Elizabeth says that her children were "brainwashed" to believe that she is a "bad person".

After moving to Idaho, Elizabeth got into an 18-month long custody battle with the children's father, Nephi Fischer, and gained full custody of Allen, Rachelle, and their older sister Elintra in 2021. Since then, Nephi has allegedly tried to regain custody multiple times.

Elintra Dee Fischer, Allen and Rachelle's older sister, went missing on the 1st of January 2023 at the age of 17. She took "the vehicle" (I'm assuming Elizabeth's car?) and left it along the route with a note to Elizabeth that said that she was leaving to return to FLDS, and that she will pay for the gas she used up to get to where she abandoned the car. After leaving the car, Elintra must've gotten another vehicle or a ride from someone else who took her to her destination.

Elizabeth said that her relationship with her children was "close", especially in recent months- Allen would often sleep on the couch in her room, and Elizabeth often shared her bed with Rachelle, who suffered from frequent nightmres.

DISAPPEARANCE

Allen and Rachelle were last seen at 7 PM on the 22nd of June.

It's believed that the siblings were taken "between 6 PM and 8 PM", when Elizabeth was attending a family Bible class. Before she left, the siblings asked if they could go to "the shop" (I'm not sure what is meant by that exactly) to watch videos online when their mother was gone. When Elizabeth returned home at about 9 PM, Allen and Rachelle were gone. It's theorized that they were taken by Elintra to "fulfill their religious obligations", as they likely believed that it was their salvation and that they will be damned for eternity if they won't.

Elizabeth claims that she saw their estranged family's cars drive by their home and the shop the children went to on the 22nd of June for about a month before her children went missing. She believes that the three of them were being watched, and that the family was waiting for the right moment to take Allen and Rachelle.

It's believed that the siblings went into a gray Honda sedan with Utah plates and were taken to their sister's (most likely Elintra's) house in Mendon, Utah, about 10 miles (16.1 km) outside of Logan.

Allen and Rachelle were reported missing on the 22nd of June at 8:48 PM by Elisabeth.

Elizabeth believes that her children were taken in response to alarming statements made in August of 2022 by Warren Jeffs- a disgraced FLDS leader who is currently serving a life sentence in Texas for child sexual assault (at the time of his arrest, he had 24 underaged "wives") . His recent "revelation" claims that all FLDS children have to die in order to be reborn as "pure beings". Jeffs and other FLDS leaders have told their followers to retrieve their children "by any means necessary" to help the cult prepare for the "end of times"- the children are supposed to be "gathered" to assist in "building Zion", where they will then die and become "pure", "translated" beings. The children will then allegedly resurrect like Jesus Christ did, in two and a half/three days. It's believed that the current leadership of the FLDS church is leading the followers to the similar fates suffered by people who died in Jonestown or Waco.

Allen and Rachelle most likely didn't take off by themselves- the compound is in the middle of the desert with no bus or train access, so they were almost certainly picked up by an FLDS member with a car.

On the 23rd of June, an Amber Alert for the siblings was issued after police found out about Jeffs' 2022 revelation.

The Idaho State Police were unsure if the children have left the immediate area of their home or if they were still close by. They also said that the grey Honda “has not travelled to Idaho during the time that Rachelle and Allen went missing”, but the story about them being taken by an older sibling is still considered true. Elizabeth believes that whoever took her children might've been lying in wait somewhere close by untill the situation died down, and then took them out of state.

CONCLUSION

While the FLDS and LDS (also known as Mormons) share the similar origin and history, the two groups have no formal or official connection.

A tip submitted to The Uvalde Foundation for Kids said that the siblings might be in Fredonia, Arizona, which is just 10 minutes away from Kanab, Utah. In 2024, multiple FLDS children from Utah were relocated to Fredonia- for example, there was a case of three siblings who were missing from Beaver, Utah, who were relocated to Fredonia by their father, a member of FLDS, who was assisted by other members of the church. Ground searches were conducted in reaction to the tip, but Allen and Rachelle haven't been located.

Very recently, on the 1st of May 2026, it's been revealed that Elintra has officially obtained a driver's license in Utah at some point, and in consequence she has been removed from the NCIC's missing person database. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is interested in speaking with Elintra in relation to Allen's and Rachelle's disappearance.

There is a $5000 reward for "information leading to the safe return of Rachelle and Allen".

Allen Larand Fischer was 13 when he went missing and will be 14 near the end of May 2026. He is a white boy, 5’9” (175 cm) and 135 pounds (61 kg). He had longer sandy blonde hair and has blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans and black slip-on shoes resembling Crocs.

Rachelle Leray Fischer was 15 when she went missing and will be 16 in June 2026. She is a white girl, 5’5” (165 cm) 135 pounds (61 kg). She has brown hair that she kept in braids and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a green prairie dress.

If you have any info about the siblings' whereabouts, contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 208-745-9210 (option 7). You can also contact the Uvalde Foundation for Kids’ crisis line at 254-499-8027 if you want to remain anonymous (they're the ones offering the reward in this case).

Allen and Rachelle's websleuths.com thread

Hello everyone! I wanted to bring an update to a case I've been covering for a few years now. This update is pretty significant for the case against Noel's parents, and it will hopefully bring some peace to his remaining family.

I'll copy the short version of my last summary of the case here; If you want to read the very first post, you can do it here.

Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez was born on the 2nd of February 2017. He was born prematurely, which resulted in him suffering from developmental delays in speech and behavior, estropia (which gave him crossed eyes) and a lung condition (he had to have oxygen inhalations). Noel's parents were Cindy Rodriguez-Singh and stepfather Arshdeep Singh. Noel had nine siblings- six ages 11 to 5 months who lived with him and his parents in Everman, Texas, and three eldest who lived with Noel's grandparents (their ages are unknown).

The family lived in a converted shed on the property belonging to the 71-year old Charles Parson. Parson wasn't related to either of the adults, but he was Cindy's friend of ten years. Parson had allegedly saw Cindy and her three kids living in a van in front of his house, and, moved by their situation, he allowed them to stay on his property- first in his house, and then in the shed, once the family grew. The family didn't have to pay rent, but they were responsible for the groceries, and Cindy would look after Parson due to his advanced age.

Noel and his two siblings were taken away temporarily after Cindy had a drunk driving incident, where she hit a pole with her car while having the kids in her car. The siblings were given to Patrice Paris, a foster mother with experience in looking after special needs kids. She and Noel developed a close bond, and stayed in contact after Cindy got her custody rights in 2021. Patrice's last contact with Noel was in the fall of 2022, when Cindy stopped responding to her facetime calls.

Noel was last seen in October of 2022, when he was present during the birth of his little sisters in a hospital, though the staff had mentioned that he looked "malnourished" and "unwell". In the same month, Noel missed a string of doctor's appointments, and Cindy got a letter saying that if Noel will miss one more visit, his benefits will stop coming. One of Cindy's friends said that she allegedly wanted to borrow her son to pass him off as Noel.

On the 1st of November, Noel wasn't present during family's passport photos photoshoot. She applied for passports on the next day, without one for Noel. Four days later, she was looking up costs of a trip to India.

In March of 2023, CPS finally visited the family after recieving worrying statements about physical and mental abuse of Noel from his concerned relatives. The boy wasn't there; Cindy claimed that Noel is in Mexico with his biological father. Authorities have managed to contact Mariano Alvarez-Contreraz, Noel's father, who was deported to Mexico before Noel was even born, and claimed that he never met his son. There was no proof of Noel ever crossing the US-Mexico border either.

Only two days after that visit, Arshdeep stole 10,000$ from his employer. On the same day, the 22nd of March, the whole family of eight (Cindy, Arshdeep, and Noel's six siblings) were seen boarding a flight on the DFW airport, first to Istanbul, and then to India, where Arshdeep originally moved from.

This is kind of where this story ended. There were searches carried out on the family's property, but the investigators didn't share if they found anything, though cadaver dogs have reacted in a specific place on the property, and Arshdeep was seen throwing out a large rug before the family fled to India. Cindy was indicted on charges of capital murder, two counts of injury to a child, and abandonment with no intent to return.

On the 21st of August 2025, Cindy was booked into the Tarrant County jail after an arrest in India. She was charged with capital murder of a person under 10 years of age and had a bond of 10 milion $. It's unclear if Arshdeep was also arrested. It has been stated that the couple's six children will go into foster care.

The most recent news in the case is that human remains have been found on the 12th of May behind the house that Noel lived at with his family. They were located during a lawfully authorized search operation and handed over to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office for a forensic examination and an official identification.

The remains haven't been identified as Noel yet. I will update this post once there will be any official statement regarding the identity of the remains.

Hello everyone! As always, thank you for your votes and comments under my last post about Sheena Gibbs- I hope that she will be found soon.

Today I'd like to highlight another disappearance.

BACKGROUND

Starla Goings was 65 when she went missing from Munising, Michigan, USA.

She worked as a bank teller in a few different local banks over the years.

She had filed for divorce from her husband shortly before her disappearance, and a pre-trial conference was scheduled for September. Starla was allegedly "doing good" and "handling her affairs and going about life in the best way she knew how” during that period.

Starla had an adult daughter, Steffanie Goings. Steffanie lives in Orlando, Florida, with her husband, Anthony, and they also did when Starla went missing. The couple stayed in regular contact with Starla, and talked with her every two or three days. Starla also had an adult son named Nick Livermore, who lived in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Starla was a diabetic and she used a glucose monitoring device that connected to her phone via bluetooth.

Steffanie Goings, Starla's daughter, said that her mother was "(...)very bubbly. She was very positive. She was always smiling”.

Christi Marsch, Starla's friend, said that she was "this shining person everyone wanted to be around".

Senior Pastor Jason LaFlamme, who is the pastor of the Munising Baptist Church that Starla seemingly attended, said that she was "well-known in the community; she (was) a lot of fun"; "She (enjoyed) giving people a hard time, and I (enjoyed) giving it right back".

DISAPPEARANCE

On the 11th of August, Starla filed a stipulated order to release real estate sale proceeds.

On the 14th, Starla picked up a check from her lawyer's office in Marquette from the sale of a rental property that she and her husband owned.

Starla was last seen on the 15th of August at her home. Steffanie and Anthony called Starla on that day and reportedly had a "regular" conversation with her; Starla told them she was at the State Fair in Escanaba, Michigan, at the time of the call. When Steffanie asked her why she came to the fair with her husband, Starla wrote a text that said "I am not reconciling with (husband). I wanted cotton candy. I rode in a car to Escanaba and ate fair food. Nothing more. The nicer I am, the easier my life goes". The text was sent at about 10 PM. Several witnesses have confirmed that Starla was present at the fair. The readings from Starla's glucose monitor are tied to her location; They have placed her at her home untill midnight of the 15th, meaning that she came back home after the fair- after midnight, no new readings were logged.

On the 16th, Steffanie texted Starla asking if the two of them could talk her trip to the fair with her husband the day before, but Steffanie recieved no reply.

On the 17th, Steffanie, Anthony, and Nick were unable to reach Starla- they called Starla's friends, but nobody had seen her or heard from her since Friday. Anthony called the landline phone in Starla's and her husband's house, which was picked up by Starla's husband. Anthony asked if he could talk to Starla, but her husband said that she's not home and that he haven't seen her.

Police was notified about Starla's disappearance on the 17th, around 6:30 PM. They were first asked to do a welfare check on her- when they arrived at the house, they met Starla's husband, but no Starla. He was the last person who saw her; According to him, Starla left the house around midnight of the 15th and hasn't been home since. He let the police inside willingly.

The sheriff's office have asked anyone who saw Starla's car (an orange, 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan SUV) between late hours of 15th and early hours of 17th.

The vehicle was located on the 17th at dusk at a roadside lot on Peninsula Point Road in Munising Township, a short distance (about 3.5 mil / 5.6 km) from Starla's home at Sixteen Mile Lake Road "shortly after her disappearance". A resident reported that it's been parked there since the 15th. It's speculated that Starla left her car there to carpool to the fair with her husband- according to Steffanie, members of the family did it somewhat frequently if they "didn’t want to drive the 3 miles (4.9 km) back into 16-mile (25,7 km) lake just to turn around and leave again.

Investigators have confirmed that forensic evidence related to Starla's disappearance has been collected and is being tested, but they haven't specified what kind of evidence they have.

On the 28th of October, police brought a tractor to a residence at the Peninsula Point Road, where Starla's husband lived, in order to look for evidence at the property. They also confirmed for the first time that foul play might've been involved in Starla's disappearance. It hasn't been reported to the public if any evidence was found.

Starla's phone and apple watch haven't been located to this day.

CONCLUSION

Steffanie wrote a couple posts on websleuths where she gave out more details about Starla's disappearance. She said that she and her brother Nick have been estranged from their biological father/Starla's husband since 2023. Starla filed for divorce in late May of 2025 and served her husband papers in early June. They continued to share a house. Starla had the property appraised, but none of the belongings inside could be removed by either of them due to the divorce proceedings. Steffanie and Nick tried to convince their mother to move out, but she was too afraid of what might happen to her belongings that she'd be forced to leave behind. On the 13th and 14th of August, Starla's husband made some strange/disturbing posts about her on his social media profile (screenshots of said posts are available in the websleuths thread).

Starla Goings was 65 when she went missing. She is a white woman, 5’4” (163 cm), and 160 pounds (73 kg). She has bright white hair and brown eyes. She’s carrying either a black Lululemon bag or a mini black backpack.

If you have any info on Starla's whereabouts, contact the Alger County Sheriff’s Office at (906) 387-7030.

Hello everyone! As always, I'd like to thank you for all your comments and votes under my last post about the San Juan Capistrano Jane Doe- I hope that she will get her name soon.

Today I'd like to bring up a disappearance case.

BACKGROUND

Sheena Gibbs was 40 when she went missing from Chicago, Illinois, USA.

She grew up in rural Iowa and moved to Chicago when she was 20. She lived in the Rogers Park neighbourhood at the time of her disappearance.

Sheena graduated from the Graduate School at Northwestern University in Evanston in Chicago, and then from Spoon River College. During her time in Spoon River College, Sheena was the vice president of the student senate and she graduated with honors.

Sheena used to work as a home health aide and valued helping others; Her most recent job involved performing Covid test scheduling at the University of Illinois Chicago. She dedicated her spare time do various social justice causes as an activist.

According to her friends, Sheena was in a string of abusive relationships- she allegedly went from being a "life of the party" to being distant, and they could go months without any contact from her. Sheena started dating a man in early 2021, and the couple lived together in Rogers Park. In June of 2021, Sheena told her friend that her boyfriend threw a coffee mug at her during an argument; The friend told her to be wary of him, but Sheena returned to living with the man in their shared appartment.

Sheena was a cancer survivor- at 25, she went through "an excessively lengthy and challenging battle" with cervical cancer. Sheena went through chemotherapy and radiation while living in Chicago, where she was "pretty much alone", with no friends or family who supported her close by. She went through a hysterectomy and her cancer was in remission after a few years of therapy, but the process left its mark on Sheena, who "changed forever"- according to her friend, Sheena possibly thought that "a part of her was damaged and beyond repair". Her illness was also what seemingly pushed her into dating "troubled" men that she wanted to "save", according to her friends.

In September of 2021, Sheena's mother started having serious health problems, and Sheena decided to come back to Iowa to look after her, as she knew that her mother didn't want to move to a nursing home. At the time of her disappearance, Sheena would travel between Iowa and Chicago, as she had Power of Attorney over her hospitalized mother's healthcare. Sheena allegedly wasn't thrilled about moving back to Iowa, but she wanted to support her mother as best as she could.

Lela Tarver, Sheena's aunt, said that her niece was a "Go-getter(...). She (was) very strong-willed and positive”. 

Sheena's family said that she was "Bubbly, upbeat and outgoing".

DISAPPEARANCE

Lela last heard from Sheena on the 3rd of November. Sheena was supposed to drive to Davenport that day and arrive on the next day, on the 4th, to see her mother at the hospital she was staying. Sheena usually got to Davenport by bus, but no ticket has been bought under Sheena's name, nor has there been any proof of her boarding a bus at all.

Sheena was last seen on the 5th of November in Rogers Park, near the Greenleaf & Sheridan intersection. At the time, Sheena was staying at a hotel called the Greenleaf Hotel in Rogers Park since the 1st of November, allegedly with "a guest"; On the 5th, she checked out of the hotel using her credit card. That was the last time she was seen.

On the 8th, Sheena's friend recieved a text message from her, where she said that she was planning to move back home to Iowa.

Her family tried to call Sheena many times, but she didn't pick up. Sheena usually stayed in regular contact with her family, so her not picking up their calls was very unusual. They reported her missing after she failed to show up at the hospital.

When police was informed by Sheena's family that they recieved a tip about Sheena being seen in the Greenleaf Hotel, they didn't go there to collect the ring camera footage- instead, the footage was overwritten with time, and it's now impossible to see if the "guest" Sheena was allegedly staying with was recorded at any point so that they could be identified.

Police have attempted to locate Sheena's phone, but it couldn't be done as the phone has been turned off. Her phone last pinged in a village called Winthrop Harbor, Illinois near the Wisconsin border, on the 10th of November. Sheena's loved ones didn't believe she had any ties to the village. Police and volunteers searched Winthrop Harbor months later, but they didn't find any clues.

In April of 2022, it was determined that Sheena's disappearance was a result of a crime.

CONCLUSION

Sheena was described as "habitually missing" by police, by which they mean that she "goes missing often"; They haven't said anything else regarding the circumstances of Sheena's previous disappearences. They said that "traditional methods" have failed in tracking down Sheena, and they claimed to take an unconventional approach to finding her.

Sheena's friend, who wanted to remain annonymous, said that she might've fallen victim to human trafficking. Sheena's friends did some digging on her boyfriend, and he allegedly has ties to a group who's known to traffic young girls, with some of the members convicted for it. The boyfriend's name is known to Sheena's friends and loved ones, but it was never publicized by police.

Sheena Louise Gibbs was 39 when she went missing, and would be about 44 now. She is a Black woman, 5'9 (69 inch / 175 cm) and 180 pounds (82 kg). She has black hair and brown eyes. Her ears are pierced.

If you have any info on Sheena's whereabouts, contact the Chicago Police Department - Area North at (312) 744-8266 (case number JE460184)
