Madison Scott, known as Maddy to family and friends, was 20 years old when she attended a party at Hogsback Lake, about 15 miles south of her hometown of Vanderhoof, British Columbia, Canada. Maddy's original plan was to camp overnight with a friend from high school that she had recently reconnected with. But when the party got too rowdy and her friend ended up with a minor injury, Maddy was left to camp alone when her friend decided to leave the party with her new boyfriend instead. In fact, no one who attended the party that night stayed to camp overnight, leaving Maddy alone in the woods after the festivities died down. When her friend returned to the campsite the next morning to help Maddy pack up her camping gear, Maddy was nowhere to be found. Maddy's truck was left behind, locked, with all of her belongings inside, and her tent was flattened. The only things missing from the scene were Maddy's cellphone, truck keys... and Maddy herself. After two days without hearing from their daughter, the Scott family notified the RCMP and reported Maddy missing. For 12 years, the family was left in limbo, grappling with unfathomable levels of uncertainty. That was until everything took a breathtaking turn, 12 years to the day that Madison Scott was reported missing. _________________________ Patreon Request a Case YouTube Channel Goodpods: Leave a review!

42. The Disappearance of Leah Peebles

Leah Peebles was 23-years-old and had just moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico when she disappeared in May 2006. Leah had spent much of her adult life struggling with addiction; moving from Fort Worth, Texas all the way to Albuquerque was supposed to have been a fresh start for her. Leah's father, John Peebles, launched his own investigation after his daughter's disappearance, canvassing the city and questioning witnesses about his daughter's whereabouts. What he discovered about Leah's life in Albuquerque was that it had not been a fresh start, but rather a spiral into the dark underbelly of the city's drug trafficking and sex work scenes. In 2009, the discovery of the West Mesa Murders prompted investigators to attempt to match one of the eleven sets of remains to Leah Peebles... but none were a match. It has now been more than sixteen years since Leah disappeared.Albuquerque Police Department: (505) 768-2020RAINN: 1-800-656-4673SAMHSA: 1-800-662-4357_________________________PatreonRequest a CaseYouTube ChannelGoodpods: Leave a review!Podchaser: Leave a review!Music: "Poisoned Rose" by Aakash Gandhi_________________________Sources:• "A Father's Quest."

34. Where is Cheyann Klus?

On November 27th, 2017, 22-year-old Cheyann Klus left her home in Downers Grove, Illinois, taking an uber to visit her reported boyfriend's house for a party. Two days later, just after sunrise, she began sending a string of text messages to a friend, asking to be picked up. When her boyfriend awoke from an 18 hour slumber, Cheyann was gone. Twelve days later, on December 11th, 2017, a call came in to 911 dispatchers... from Cheyann's phone. But on the other end of the call was nothing but silence before the caller hung up. To this day, it's unknown whether Cheyann made that call herself... or someone else dialed 911 from her phone. Investigators traced the call to Mallard Lake Forest Preserve, 20 miles away from where Cheyann was last seen. At least two large scale searches have been conducted at the preserve, but no evidence has ever been found, including Cheyann's phone. Cheyann's official date of last contact is listed as December 1st, 2017, when a friend was reported to have spoken with her. But she has not been seen or heard from since. Her previously active social media accounts have been completely silent since she disappeared. If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Cheyann Klus in early December 2017, please call the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office at (630) 407-2400 or (630) 407-2323. _________________________ Patreon Request a Case YouTube Channel Goodpods: Leave a review!

28. Betty Williams: The Kiss and Kill Murder

On March 22nd, 1961, the tiny town of Odessa, Texas was rocked by the murder of a teenage girl who attended Odessa High School. Betty Williams was a talented theater student and aspiring actress, but in the eyes of her peers, she was an outcast. The way that Betty viewed the world was entirely ahead of the era during which she was born; her idealistic spirit made her the subject of judgment and contempt amongst her classmates in the conservative Christian oil town of Odessa.When Betty doesn't arrive at school one morning and is reported missing by her mother, most of the locals in town think she's simply run away. But a confession from within Betty's small circle of friends shakes the town to its core._________________________PatreonRequest a CaseYouTube ChannelGoodpods: Leave a review!Podchaser: Leave a review!Music: "Poisoned Rose" by Aakash Gandhi_________________________Sources:• "Bye-Bye, Betty."

23. The Unsolved Murder of Ebby Steppach

Ebby Steppach was 18 years old when she disappeared from her hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, just days after a party where she alleged that four men sexually assaulted her and recorded their actions on a cellphone. For nearly three years, no trace of her was found. In 2018, authorities returned to the park where her abandoned car had been found just days after her disappearance, and it was there that they located the remains of Ebby Steppach; she had been there the entire time that she was missing. Today, Ebby's murder remains unsolved and no one has ever been charged or arrested in connection with her case._________________________PatreonRequest a CaseYouTube ChannelGoodpods: Leave a review!Podchaser: Leave a review!Music: "Poisoned Rose" by Aakash Gandhi_________________________Sources:• https://www.arkansasonline.com/ebby/m/• https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2017/oct/29/search-ebby-parents-friends-hold-out-hope-missing-/• https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2019/02/02/the-murder-of-ebby-steppach/• https://katv.com/news/local/police-confirm-ebby-steppachs-remains-found-at-little-rock-park• https://www.thv11.com/article/news/crime/unsolved-ebby-steppach/91-d36beb91-5c5c-4c9a-80aa-bb0fd31b2489• https://katv.com/news/local/dead-teens-loved-ones-question-little-rock-police• https://katv.com/news/local/lead-investigator-for-natalee-holloway-joins-search-for-lr-missing-teen• https://katv.com/news/local/missing-central-high-student• https://katv.com/news/local/still-no-sign-of-missing-little-rock-central-hs-student

RE-RELEASE: Kaysera Stops Pretty Places

Kaysera Stops Pretty Places was 18 years old and a member of the Crow Nation. She disappeared in Hardin, Montana in August of 2019. Five days later, she was found deceased under suspicious circumstances. Her death was classified as “suspicious,” however, there has been no investigation into what really happened to her, or who could have done this. Investigating authorities have perpetrated numerous ethical violations and continuously enabled one another in doing so. Kaysera is one of far too many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls across the United States and Canada. This is an updated and re-released version of my original episode on this case. During the month of August 2021, Kaysera's family is launching their second annual month of action, and they need our help to demand justice for Kaysera. Please follow the Justice For Kaysera Facebook page for updates about how you can help, linked below.
