Fourty-three year old Susan Osborne and her 15-year-old son, Evan Chartrand were last seen on May 29, 2017 in Holtville, Alabama. They lived with Susan's second husband, Jerry Marshall at the time of their disappearance.

Susan and Evan were reported missing on July 29, 2017 after Susan's family had gone two months without being able to contact them. Susan's two dogs were discovered at a animal shelter; and Susan and Evan's belongings are missing from the home.

When the police investigated Susan and Evan's disappearances, Jerry told them that Susan decided to leave him and a man picked her up. The following day, he said that the man returned to the house where he removed furniture and other belongings.

Prior to Susan and Evan's disappearances, Susan discovered that Jerry had previously worked as a gay escort before their marriage and advertised his services on the internet. Susan told her best friend about it via e-mial and asked her not to mention it in text messages because Jerry had started reading them. Susan said that she thought that Jerry was still escorting and spoke about leaving him, but she later stated that the couple had worked things out and that Susan still loved Jerry.

After Evan and Susan went missing, Jerry completely remodeled the house such as repainting the walls and replacing the hardwood floors with carpet. Jerry said he had to repaint the walls because Susan had spray-painted vulgar phrases on the wall before she left. The floors were later discovered to have approximately 20 possible bloodstains which were sent away to be tested for DNA.

Neighbors had reported that Jerry burned multiple items of furniture during the summer of 2017. The house had an elaborate security system with camers located at every door; however, by the time the police began investigating Susan and Evan's disappearances, all the camera footage was gone because Jerry had purchased a replacement security system on June 1, 2017.

Jerry is considered to be a person of interest in Susan and Evan's disappearances, but he maintains his innocence.

As of 2026, Susan and Evan's case remain unsolved, but they are classified as endangered missing people and foul play is suspected.

On June 10, 2016, 15-year-old Jade was reported missing by the police from Des Moines, Iowa after she ran away from a shelter for troubled youth. Two days earlier, she was located by U.S. Marshals at a gas station in Des Moines after she had previously ran away and was placed in the shelter; however, she ran away from the shelter again.

Jade was placed in foster care when she was 13 years old due to her parents' substance abuse issues. She repeatedly ran away from foster homes and various foster care facilities because she wanted to be with her mom, LaDawn Colvin (who is now deceased).

According to information from Jade and LaDawn's social media accounts, Jade spent several months residing in Arizona with her relatives after running away from the shelter in Iowa.

Jade contacted LaDawn, who brought her back to Iowa and sent her to live with James Bachmurski Sr. (whom LaDawn had dated) on a remote 400-acre farm. James has a criminal record for abusing his children.

Jade was supposed to live on the farm until she turned 18 years old or until LaDawn could regain custody of her.

James purchased Jade new clothes and underwear from Walmart, but Jade later disappeared from the farm. Before her disappearance, Jade was texting James' son, Bryan, telling him that James was going to take her somewhere else to stay and she would get a new identity. Jade promised Bryan that she would text him about her whereabouts, but she never did.

After Jade's disappearance, James gave Bryan various explainations about what happened to Jade such as she moved to Tennessee and she worked as a "cam girl". James left the farm a year after Jade went missing, sold it and moved to Georgia where he went under the alias "Bob Sage".

In August of 2024, James was charged with second-degree murder in Jade's case. In September of 2025, he was convicted and sentenced to the maximum term of 50 years in prison.

Although James was charged with murder, Jade is still classified an endangered missing person and foul play is suspected in her case.

Four-year-old Zaden and his mother, Nichelle McKnight disappeared on March 25, 2014 in Dayton, Ohio.

Nichelle was last seen leaving her home at 11:00 p.m. and was accompanied by her ex-boyfriend, Antwan Anderson. Zaden and Nichelle were reported missing by Nichelle's mother after Nichelle didn't show up for work at either of her two jobs for several days.

When police attempted to pull Antwan over at a traffic stop, he fled from his car and ran into a wooded area. Two police officers chased Antwan and he pulled out a gun which led to a shootout between himself & the police. Antwan ended up fatally shooting himself in the head.

On April 11, 2014, Nichelle's body was discovered near the Stillwater River, deceased from two gunshots to the head; however, there was no sign of Zaden at the scene.

On April 30, 2014, a woman named Tonisha Harris was arrested on the charges of failure to report a crime, evidence tampering and gross abuse of a corpse in Nichelle's murder & Zaden's presumed death.

Blood was discovered by authorities at Tonisha's house along with Nichelle's bank cards, driver's license, Social Security cards for Nichelle & Zaden and the shoes that Nichelle was last seen wearing.

Tonisha dated Antwan Anderson and used Nichelle's bank cards without permission before Nichelle disappeared, spending nearly $3,000. Nichelle discovered the thefts and disappeared shortly after confronting Antwan about it.

In October of 2015, Tonisha Harris pled guilty to evidence tampering and failure to report a crime; and pled no contest to gross abuse of a corpse. She was sentenced to three years in prison. Although authorities suspect that Tonisha was "intimately involved" in the deaths of Zaden and Nichelle, she denies being involved and she hasn't been charged in connection with the crimes.

As of 2026, Zaden has not been located. His case is classified as being an endangered missing person and foul play is suspected.

Fifteen-year-old Sophie was last seen on May 19, 2017 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Surveillance video showed Sophie walking by herself down Davie Boulevard located near the Brightline tracks, heading eastbound past a business located between the 100 and 400 blocks of west Davie Boulevard.

She left all her belongings behind, including a bag containing $300 in cash and also left a candle burning in her bedroom.

Prior to her disappearance, Sophie's parents were divorced and she lived with her dad (who was granted full custody of her in 2015). She had been experiencing mood swings and was seeing a therapist to help her deal with her emotions.

Sophie would often hang out in the area of Stranahan High School, where she had briefly attended school; she would later transfer to a virtual school and took online classes with her computer.

After Sophie's disappearance, drugs, alcohol and some adult-type underwear (such as stockings and garter belts) were discovered in her bedroom. There was also a calendar with the date "May 19th" marked. She often called a man named Leonard "Jay" Jennings, who lived in the neighborhood.

Sophie would go to Jennings' apartment to buy marijuana. She visited his apartment on the night she went missing before returning home. Sophie's phone records showed that she called Jennings at 3:07 a.m. and was at his home until 9:13 a.m.

Leonard Jennings and his two brothers (who all have a history of long felonies) have been questioned in Sophie's diappearance, but all of them have denied that they were acquainted with her. Police searched Leonard Jennings' apartment for evidence in connection with Sophie's case and confiscated items such as 25 cell phones, three tablets and other electronic devices.

The police also discovered evidence on Sophie's computer which has led them to believe that Sophie may have been a victim of an online predator or a human trafficker.

Sophie had visited websites dedicated to searching for "sugar daddies", she had told her friends about performing commercial sexual acts (mentioning that one man paid her $400) and wrote in her diary about wanting to "get 10 sugar daddies".

As of 2026, Sophie's case remains unsolved and it is classified as a being an endangered person with foul play being suspected.

One-year-old Isabella went missing on January 14, 2003 from Ocean City, New Jersey along with her mother, Holly Codario.

Holly and Isabella were last known to be riding in a black Volkswagen Jetta that belonged to Holly's mom. The next day, a toll worker discovered the car abandoned on the southbound shoulder of the Ocean City-Longport Bridge.

The car was working, but it was unlocked. The lights in the car were turned off, the keys were the ignition, Holly's purse & driver's license were found on the passenger's seat and Isabella's baby carrier was in the back seat.

Holly and her ex-boyfriend shared custody of Isabella, but Holly was concerned that the boyfriend or the boyfriend's family might try to take Isabella away from her. She filed for sole custody of Isabella and child support, but she later withdrew the petitions. At the time she went missing, Holly was showing signs of paranoid behavior.

On April 25, 2003, Holly's body was found located along the south shore of the Great Egg Harbor Bay in the Beesley's Point section of Upper Township, New Jersey. Her cause of death was drowning and no evidence of foul play was discovered.

As of 2026, Isabella has not been located and her case is classified as an endangered missing person.

20-year-old Rose was last seen in Okmuglee, Oklahoma on February 2, 2016. Rose was a resident at a care home at the time of her disappearance.

Rose went to bed at 10:00 p.m., but she kept getting up. The last time that the staff at the care home saw Rose was at 2:30 a.m. When a staff member tried to check on Rose at 4:00 a.m., her door was locked.

The staff member was able to get into Rose's room through the bathroom and discovered that Rose's room was empty, the window was open and her belongings were strewn across the yard. The care home staff immediately notified the police.

Rose has high-functioning autism, schizophrenia and is developmentally delayed with the mental capacity of a 13-year-old. She needs daily medications (which she doesn't have with her) and at the time she went missing, Rose's doctor was adjusting them.

Rose was also delusional, seeing & talking to people who weren't there. Rose may have extreme emotional episodes or episodes where she doesn't speak or is unresponsive to her surroundings.

Prior to her disappearance, Rose's doctor planned to admit her to the hospital as soon as a bed was available. Rose wasn't happy about this because she disliked the hospital. She previously ran away from foster homes, but would usually return on her own within a few hours.

Before she went missing, Rose was on the phone with someone that she said was "Uncle Charles" and that he was going to take her to a family funeral; however, there is nobody in Rose's extended family who went by that name or if "Uncle Charles" was involved in Rose's disappearance.

As of 2026, Rose's case remains unsolved. Her case is classified as being an endangered missing person.

15-year-old Sebastian was last seen on February 25, 2024 in the area of Stafford Court located in Henderson, Tennessee.

At the time of his diappearance, Sebastian was staying with his mom, Katie Rogers and his stepfather, Chris Proudfoot (who was out of town on a business trip at the time he went missing). His dad, Seth Rogers shares custody of him.

According to Katie, she heard a thump from Sebastian's bedroom at 10:00 p.m. and told him to go to sleep. The next day, Katie discovered that Sebastian wasn't in bed. Sebastian left his shoes by the front door, his phone was left in the kitchen and he left his medication & Nintendo Switch behind.

After searching the house for him, Katie called the police. His dad stated that Sebastian wouldn't wander off and didn't like walking around barefoot. Since Sebastian went missing, Katie and Chris have moved out of their home and are residing in an RV; they haven't publicly disclosed their location due to threats.

Sebastian has autism, severed ADHD and a rare genetic disorder called 6Q27 Chromosome Deletion Syndrome, which causes intellectual disabilities and developmental delays.

In July of 2026, Seth Rogers filed two federal lawsuits against the Sumner County Sherrif's Office and the Tennessee Department of Children's Services, seeking $10 million in damages.

Seth alleges that Sebastian's case has been mishandled and wants a new investigation into Sebastian's disappearance re-opened. He also stated that the DCS had opened two cases of possible abuse\neglect of Sebastian, but they were closed without taking protective action and without notifying Seth about it.

Katie has passed a polygraph in Sebastian's disappearance. As of 2026, Sebastian's disappearance remains unsolved. Although foul play hasn't been discovered in his disappearance, his case is classified as being an endangered missing person.

11-year-old Ryan was last seen on May 17, 2021 at La Vista West Elementary School in La Vista, Nebraska.

He has autism, Tourette's syndrome and epilepsy (which requires medication). Although Ryan is considered to have high-functioning autism, he is usually non-verbal with strangers and has a history of running & hiding in small places.

After Ryan became frustrated with a math problem, he went to another room to calm down and be by himself. An adult was supposed to be supervising Ryan, but one supervisor had to leave the room and their replacement was late.

While Ryan was unsupervised, he left school between 11:55 A.M. and 12:05 P.M. The school called Ryan's mom, Tammi Larsen at 12:27 P.M. to inform her that he was missing. At 12:29 P.M., the police was notified and arrived five minutes later to start searching for Ryan.

A neighbor last saw Ryan at the Southfield Apartments (located about 2 blocks from his school) at 1:45 p.m. holding an umbrella. He lived at the apartment complex with Tammi and an older sister, but couldn't have gone inside because he didn't have a key. Six weeks later, Ryan's umbrella was discovered near a dumpster behind the Southfield Apartments complex in the place where he was last seen.

Due to Ryan's autism, he has a history of running away and hiding; but he would usually be found nearby a short time after running away.

Because of his habit of running off, Ryan was enrolled in Project Lifesaver which equips vulnerable people with a GPS tracking bracelet so they can be located; however, Ryan kept cutting off the tracker and Tammi eventually stopped making him wear it.

Prior to his disappearance, Ryan searched online for topics such as "how to hide underground", "how to avoid being spotted" and "how to hide from police".

In early 2023, Tammi Larsen petitioned the court to have Ryan legally declared deceased, saying that it was unlikely that Ryan was alive due to his autism and other health issues. She also intended to file a claim against the Papillion-La Vista Public School District for Ryan's wrongful death.

In April of 2023, a judge threw out Tammi's petition, stating that there wasn't enough evidence to declare Ryan dead. Tammi later filed a lawsuit in federal court for violating Ryan's civil rights; however, in November of 2023, the petition was dismissed.

Tammi later sued the school district in state court for negligent supervision of Ryan and neglect infliction of emotional distress on herself during and after Ryan's disppearance. In May of of 2024, the state lawsuit was dismissed under "sovereign immunity" protections.

Tammy appealed the dismissal of the state lawsuit; In September of 2025, the Nebraska Supreme Court unanimously sided with her and allowed the lawsuit to go forward.

As of 2026, Ryan's case remains unsolved and he is classified as an endangered missing person.

25-year-old Jenna was house-sitting at her parents' home in the Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. On August 19, 2017, she texted a friend of hers at 2:00 in the morning to say that she was going to lie down.

Jenna has not been seen since. She left the TV and lights on in her parents home; her parents' elderly cat wasn't fed; the doors were locked; and a family heirloom: an Egyptian tapestry (which was bought by Jenna's grandfather in the 1940s) was missing. Jenna took her two cell phones, but left her shoes, makeup and phone chargers behind.

Jenna's car disappeared as well, but two weeks after she went missing, it was discovered seven miles from her parents' home parked along Defoor Place in northwest Atlanta.

The car was almost out of gas and the driver's seat had been pushed back to accommodate a driver taller than Jenna. Her suitcase, shoes, wallet and glasses were discovered in the car along with an unidentified person's shoes and phone charger.

Jenna was diagnosed with high-functioning autism in 2016 which affects her social interactions. She is known to be impressionable, trusting and can be easily taken advantage of. Her parents say that she's a very regimented person and her disappearance is out of character for her.

Six months before she went missing, Jenna lost her full-time job at a pet store and was charged with misdemeanor theft after stealing $3,000 from work.

Jenna's parents didn't approve of her friends, stating that they took advantage of Jenna and that the money she stole was for her friends. After Jenna's dad accessed her cell phone records out of concern about her relationships with friends, she was angry and moved out of her parents' home.

At the time of her disappearance, Jenna was living at an apartment in a room that she rented from a friend. The roommate told the police that he planned on throwing Jenna's belongings out in the street because she hadn't paid for her rent. The roommate refused to allow the police to search the apartment, but hasn't been named a suspect in Jenna's disappearance.

According to Jenna's boyfriend, Jenna stopped by his house on August 18, 2017. At the time, he had broken up with her. The boyfriend also claimed that Jenna was a drug addict and a prostitute (which hasn't been established as true).

As of 2026, Jenna's case remains unsolved. Her family fears that she might be being held against her will and her case is classified as being an endangered missing person.

Forty-year-old Marion McCleneghan-Sodo was last seen on February 6, 2010 in Brooklyn, New York.

Marion went to a party located on 14th Street & 7th Avenue where she got into an argument with Richard Eric Sosa (the host of the party) and angrily left the party at 2:00 A.M. Neighbors heard arguing and a loud noise at Richard's home just before Marion went missing.

The day after the party, a local bodega owner said that he saw Marion at 7:00 P.M. where she tearfully told him that she was going to Long Island and he wouldn't be seeing her anymore. Marion's brother lives on Long Island, but he hasn't heard from her.

According to Marion's family, it was out of character for her to leave with warning. At the time, she had gotten a new job working at a medical marketing firm and was satisfied with her life (although she was grieving the deaths of her dad, two aunts and a friend). Marion was separated from her husband, but they were on friendly terms with each other & remained in contact with each other.

Although Richard Eric Sosa has been interviewed by authorities several times, he has not been named a suspect in Marion's disappearance.

As of 2026, Marion's disappearance remains unsolved and her case is classified as being an endangered missing person.

Twenty-nine-year-old Shantina Smiley was last seen in Olympia, Washington on March 13, 2010 with her 8-year-old son, Azriel Carver.

The two of them were driving from Silverdale, Washington to Castle Rock, Washington to visit relatives, but got lost along the way. At 10:00 that evening, Shantina stopped at a private house to ask for directions and use the telephone.

Shantina and Azriel never made it to Castle Rock. The next day on March 14, 2010, Shantina's van was discovered partially submerged in water on a remote beach located on the Puget Sound. The van's doors were open; Shantina's wallet, credit cards, ID and keys were inside the van as well, but her purse was missing.

On March 18, 2010, Azriel's body washed up on the beach located at the South end of Fox Island located near Gig Harbor, Washington. Azriel's death was ruled as an accidental drowning.

At the time of Shantina's disappearance, she recently graduated from college with plans to become a medical billing specialist. She was also engaged to be married to her fiance; however, she had been in trouble with the law and struggled with alcoholism which resulted in investigations by child protective services.

As of 2026, Shantina's disappearance remains unsolved. Her case is classified as being a lost or injured person.

Thirty-two-year old Hannah Upp was last seen on September 14, 2017 in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She went missing a week before Hurricane Irma struck St. Thomas and a week before Hurricane Maria came, causing heavy rain to occur.

At the time, Hannah took a teaching job at the Virgin Islands Montessori School. She left her sundress, sandals, her car and her car keys at a small bar on Sapphire Beach, where she would go snorkling.

This was not the first time that Hannah went missing.

In August of 2008, Hannah went missing in New York City. At the time, she had a job teaching at Thurgood Marshall Academy in Harlem and went missing on the first day of school.

Hannah wasn't found for 20 days and was later discovered floating facedown in the water by people on the Staten Island Ferry. She was rescued and treated for hypothermia. She was later hospitalized in a psychiatric unit where she was diagnosed with dissociative fugue.

In 2010, she moved to Maryland where she took a job at a Montessori school. Just like in New York City, Hannah disappeared on the first day of school.

Two days later, Hannah found herself in a creek located a mile and a half from her school. She had apparently gone into a state of dissociative fugue again, but she returned to work afterwards.

As of 2026, Hannah remains missing and her case is classified as being an endangered missing person.

Twenty-seven-year-old Dayna Megner, her 2-year-old son Dakota and her 21-year-old friend, Junelle Marquard were last seen on August 20, 1999 in Nekoosa, Wisconsin.

Dayna and Junelle dropped off Dayna's 4-year-old daughter at the babysitter's house. They left with Dakota without revealing their whereabouts. At first, the babysitter wasn't concerned when Dayna didn't pick up her daughter because it wasn't unusually for Dayna to leave the girl at the babysitter's house for days at a time. After weeks of no contact, the babysitter called social services who took the girl into custody.

It wasn't until 2004 that the police were informed that Dayna, Dakota and Junelle were missing. During that time, Dayna's brother reported her missing. Junelle has never been officially reported as a missing person and the police are searching for her due to Dayna & Dakota's disappearances.

At the time of their disappearances, Dayna lived in Nekoosa with her daughter and Dakota, and Junelle lived in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Both Dayna and Junelle were involved in drugs, have minor and became estranged from their families because of it. Dayna eventually lost her parental rights to her daughter. Since then, Dayna's daughter has been adopted and lives out state.

As of 2026, Dayna, Dakota and Junelle's case remain unsolved.

Two-year-old Teekah Lewis was last seen on January 23, 1999 in Tacoma, Washington at the New Frontier Lanes bowling alley with her family members. She was playing a race car video game in the bowling alley's arcade section between 10:00 and 10:15 p.m. Teekah's mother, Theresa English said that she turned away for a moment and Teekah was gone.

A witness at the bowling alley told the police that an unidentified maroon-colored Pontiac Grand Am sped out of the parking lot the night Teekah went missing. Another witness stated than an unidentified white male in his 30s may have followed a child to one of the exits of the bowling alley that night.

Two months before Teekah went missing, a 4-year-old boy was sexually molested in the bathroom of the bowling alley. The suspect was described as having brown curly hair and a beard. A few weeks after that incident, a white male with brown hair attempted to lure a 6-year-old boy from the same bowling alley, claiming that he was the boy's father.

Earlier on the day of Teekah's disappearance, a man with curly brown hair tried to abduct two kids from a park located less than a mile from the bowling alley; however, the kids' father chased the man off and the man fled in a blue 1995 Pontiac Grand Am. It wasn't until the father found out about Teekah's disappearance did he report the incident to the police three days later.

Teekah's birth father was inprisoned at the time she went missing and is ruled out as a suspect in her case. Teekah has asthma which requires medical supervision.

As of 2026, Teekah's disappearance remains unsolved.

Thirty-eight-year-old Shelton was last seen on June 19, 2001 at the Embassy Suites hotel in Columbia, South Carolina where he was planning a bachelor party for a friend. He called his family on his cell phone to say that he was on his way home.

Shelton was driving his brother's white 1988 Oldsmobile Regency at the time; however, he never made it home. In April of 2003, the car was discovered in a parking space at Greenbrier Apartments located near the Columbia Place Mall. The police said that the car had been in the parking space for at least two months and probably as long as the time when Shelton went missing; however, there was no evidence recovered from the car.

At the time of Shelton's disappearance, he attended the University of South Carolina where he majored in administrative information management and worked as a computer systems manager at the Department of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science at the university's medical school. He lived with parents in Renton, South Carolina and commuted to Columbia, South Carolina for work & school.

As of 2026, Shelton's case remains unsolved, but foul play is suspected.

Fifteen-year-old Yasmin was last seen at her home in Chicago, Illinois on January 15, 2008.

On the day of her disappearance, Yasmin went to the North Lawndale YMCA where she was involved in sports and other activities. After coming home from the YMCA, she did a load of laundry and went to bed.

The next morning, Yasmin was gone. There were signs of a break-in at her home; two locks on an outside fence and a lock on the basement door had been cut. Yasmin's bedroom was in the basement, but nothing was disturbed in it.

Prior to her disappearance, Yasmin and her older brother were placed in foster care in Kentucky when they were toddlers due to their late mother's drug addiction. While in foster care, Yasmin was sexually abused which led to her developing severe emotional and behavioral issues.

In 2001, Yasmin and her brother went to live with their aunt by marriage, Rose Mae Starnes, who adopted them in 2006.

Rose Mae stated that she loved Yasmin, but had issues dealing with her behavior and would occasionally discipline her by whipping her with a belt or locking her in the basement. Yasmin has no past history of running away from home and got good grades in middle school; however, when she got to high school, her grades dropped.

At the time Yasmin went missing, a man named Jimmie Terrell Smith lived in the second-floor apartment in Yasmin's building with his father, who was friends with Rose Mae. Smith moved into the apartment in 2005 after serving a prison sentence for attempted murder. Smith reportedly took an interest in Yasmin and she had mentioned him twice in her diary.

It wasn't until 2009 that Rose Mae told the police that Smith was living in the apartment building when he was arrested for sexually assaulting five females (including two 14-year-old girls that he allegedly kidnapped).

In a press interview from jail, Smith said that he knew what happened to Yasmin and admitted to being responsible for four murders that he hadn't been charged with yet; however, this information hasn't been confirmed.

In 2014, Rose Mae died from natural causes. As of 2026, Yasmin's case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected in it.
