The TV series explores the case of Steven Koecher, a 30-year-old man who parked his car in a Henderson cul-de-sac on Dec. 13, 2009, and hasn’t been heard from since.
Here's the full story of Natanis Merasty's disappearance from Edmonton, Alberta. On May 5, 2025, 24-year-old Natanis Merasty was last seen in Edmonton. Ten days later, her black Hyundai Tucson was found abandoned on James Smith Cree Nation — painted silver.
In between, the vehicle traveled through Alberta, crossed by ferry to Vancouver Island, then turned around and came back east. Natanis was never seen in any of the footage.
This video covers everything publicly known about her disappearance — the timeline, the route, the repaint, and what investigators have and haven't confirmed — based on official statements from Edmonton Police Service and confirmed media reporting.

Hey everyone,
I was going through Chicago cases on NamUs today and came across a potential match that felt too close to ignore.
Back in late 1994, Ryszard Potapo disappeared from the Logan Square neighborhood, specifically around N. Davlin Ct. and W. Diversey Ave. In December 1999, an unidentified John Doe (https://namus.nij.ojp.gov/unidentified-person-namus-up129086) was discovered under a porch in that exact same neighborhood, just a few blocks away.
Beyond the matching location, the timeline fits really well since Ryszard's last contact with his family in Poland was in 1994. The physical descriptors including height, slender build, age range, and White Polish background also line up between both files.
I called the Chicago Police Department Area One SVU today and gave the detective both NamUs case numbers. They logged the details and said they would review the records.
What do you guys think?
A case that has bothered me. It reminds me of the Amy Mihaljevic case.
On the morning of Wednesday, 7 October 1992 (Adelaide, Australia), Rhianna and her mother planned to meet for lunch at the nearby Colonnades Shopping Centre, near her mother's workplace. Rhianna wanted to purchase a card for her overseas pen pal, but the public transport workers called a snap bus strike, thereby affecting her commute.
After Rhianna's mother Paula left from home to work at 8.30am, Rhianna is thought to have remained at home until she was spotted walking to the Southgate Square Shopping Centre at 10.30am, and purchased a Christmas card at 11:19am for her pen-pal.
Between 12:05 pm and 12:30 pm, Rhianna was sighted crossing the Morphett Vale High School and Stanvac Primary School grounds (Near Adelaide, South Australia) with a small bag, presumably the Christmas card she had purchased earlier. At 12:30 pm, she was spotted again walking along the Highway Drive.
It was believed that Rhianna returned home because the bag was on the dining table, but the arrival time was unclear. Paula Barreau returned home at approximately 4:10 pm, and after entering the locked door, saw the television on, and a vinyl record on the floor of the living room. The un-opened small bag of Christmas card was on the dining table.
It remains unsolved. There isn't even a suspect to this one, making the case so frustrating.
I want this case to gain traction and hopefully (fingers crossed) will get solved.
We don’t have a lot of missing people in Maine. 40
Years ago a girl went missing n no one saw her again can we not make this same mistake with her please? Can we please all trying n bring her home alive or not. Her body needs to be found. She needs to be found. Her case needs to be heard! It needs to be seen! Someone has to come forward! EDIT my goal is not to get her back to her parents if she’s alive!! My goal is to just find her and make sure she is safe. Ik this might be controversial but I personally think if she did leave on her own it was for a good reason so there for I’m on her side of everything just trying to help her!! She’s the priority and her safety is the priority! I hope she’s still alive and well. I hope she’s with a trusted person that’s just been keeping her safe and stuff I just wish for the best!
If you could pick only one case or mystery, which one do you think is truly the most bizarre? For me I would say the Springfield Three or Judy Smith.
ETA thank you for the responses, guys! Very interesting and I'm learning about more cases.
Em 1985, Marco Aurélio iria subir o Pico dos Marins, uma montanha localizada no estado de São Paulo. Ele estava acompanhado do líder Juan Bernabeu e os 3 escoteiros Osvaldo Lobeiro, Ricardo Salvione e Ramatis Rohm.
No meio caminho, o escoteiro Osvaldo Lobeiro acabou machucando seu pé, fazendo com que fosse impossível continuar subindo. Foi então que Juan Bernabeu autorizou que Marco Aurélio descesse a trilha sozinho para buscar socorro, abrindo caminho e marcando as pedras com giz com o número 240 (identificação do Grupo de Escoteiros Olivetanos).
Aproximadamente quinze minutos após a separação, os demais membros afirmaram já não conseguir avistar Marco Aurélio descendo em direção ao acampamento
Descendo mais lentamente com o garoto machucado, o restante do grupo identificou três marcações de giz deixadas por Marco Aurélio até chegarem a uma bifurcação. Embora a sinalização de Marco Aurélio indicasse o caminho da esquerda, o líder Juan optou por seguir pelo lado direito (direção oposta), alegando que aquele trajeto facilitaria a descida com o ferido e que as trilhas se encontrariam mais à frente, o que não ocorreu.
A descida foi extremamente difícil e eles acabaram chegando em outro ponto do esperado. Após chegarem no acampamento, perceberam que tudo estava revirado e não tinha nenhum sinal de Marco Aurélio.
Pequeno Bônus: O grupo de escoteiros relatou que, na segunda noite de buscas, ouviram um grito seguido de um apito (equipamento que Marco Aurélio portava). Ao correrem em direção ao som, alegaram ter avistado três luzes azuis piscando na mata, sem obterem resposta aos seus chamados. O relato das luzes foi corroborado apenas pelos adolescentes.

I suggest watching the video before reading this so it makes sense: On April 4, 2020, a night that began as a gathering with friends in Baltimore, Maryland, ended in tragedy for 24-year-old Ernest Wilson III. Wilson was hosting a small “game night” at a short-term rental and was livestreaming parts of the evening on Facebook Live.
During the livestream, Wilson and his friends began playing hide-and-seek. As Wilson went outside into the backyard looking for the other participants, the situation suddenly changed. The livestream captured an individual climbing over a fence and entering the property. Wilson was ordered to get on the ground, and shortly afterward the recording ended. Wilson was shot and later died from his injuries.
The incident shocked people who had been watching the livestream because viewers witnessed the beginning of the confrontation without knowing that it would become a deadly attack. Baltimore authorities investigated the shooting, and city officials reported that two individuals had entered the property and announced a robbery before Wilson was killed.
Ernest Wilson III's story is a painful reminder that a normal night with friends can change in an instant. His death also demonstrates how social media can unintentionally capture moments of real-life tragedy. Rather than focusing only on the disturbing circumstances surrounding his death, it is important to remember that Wilson was a young man with friends, family, and a life beyond the livestream.
His story continues to be remembered because the final moments of his life were unexpectedly recorded and witnessed by people online. Ernest Wilson III should be remembered not simply as someone whose death was caught on Facebook Live, but as a person whose life mattered to the people who knew and loved him.
