Best Fiends Ad.   Jaymie's Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/km70w0/roger_day_a_14_year_old_boy_from_maine_told_his/ For the Day family, October 3rd 1973 began as just a typical Wednesday morning at their home in Porter, Maine. 14 year old Roger Day was seated at the table with his 3 other siblings, eating breakfast together just after his mother left for work. Soon the four children were supposed to be catching the bus to school together. As they were finishing up breakfast, his sister Leigh Anne Weeks recalls Roger announcing that he was ditching school to attend the Fryeburg Fair that day. Any Mainer knows about the Fryeburg Fair. It's a yearly tradition celebrating the end of summer as it turns to fall. It's your basic fair with all the greasy food, fun things to do, cool animals, etc. His siblings thought nothing of it, and headed off to school. The fair was about 20 miles away, and in a northern direction from his home. This was the last time Roger Day was ever seen or heard from again It is known with certainty that he is endangered missing and did not disappear under his own accord. There is no reason that he would have left behind his family, friends, and life that he loved so much. And there were no leads for years, until it was learned that- unbeknownst to the family- there had been a pedophile living just 2 or 3 houses away from the Day's own. And in 2013, a property on Route 25 was searched by police. This property was confirmed to belong to the neighbor who had the sexual assault allegations against him. However only animal bones are known to have been found. And this suspect remains unnamed to the public.  

*Trigger warning* The Night Stalker on Netflix shows images taken of the victims at the crime scenes as well as interviews one of the children that was abused. This might not be suitable for all listeners. Watch the Night Stalker on Netflix.

Happy Monday hotties! This week, Jaymie discusses the devastating disappearance of Michaela Garecht. Michaela Garecht was only nine years old when she was kidnapped in the middle of the day on November 9, 1988 in Hayward, CA. Around 10:00 that morning, Michaela and a friend, Katrina Rodriguez, hopped on their scooters and headed to the local Rainbow Market, to grab a snack and a soda. When she returned for her scooter, it had been moved across the parking lot, and when she went to go retrieve it, she was abducted. The initial police report included an incorrect description of the suspect, which put a damper on the first couple of days of the investigation, however thousands of tips came in. However, this has never been enough to find her remains.  Jessica covers the brutal murder of Barbara Beach Hamburg.
