It has been remastered and now includes new information at the end regarding significant developments in this case.At 8:30 PM on December 9, 2001, 38-year-old mother of three, Michele Lyn Hundley Smith, told her family she was going Christmas shopping. She left her home in Stoneville, North Carolina, driving her green 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport van with North Carolina license plate “ROK-N-ON.” She was headed to Martinsville, Virginia, less than 20 miles away.Shopping at night wasn't unusual for Michele. It wasn't long before Christmas and shortly before her oldest daughter's birthday. No one thought twice about it. But by midnight, Michele still hadn't returned. Her husband woke their 14-year-old daughter, Amanda, concerned that something was wrong. Michele never came home.For more than 24 years, Michele's disappearance remained unsolved. Then, in February 2026, the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Michele had been located alive.

On the evening of February 28, 2006, 23-year-old Travis Roberson traveled from his home in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, to downtown Fayetteville to attend a Mardi Gras celebration. He was there with friends, enjoying what was meant to be a night of music, crowds, and celebration. At some point during the evening, Travis told the others he wasn't feeling well and said he was going to walk back to the car to wait until everyone was ready to leave. When the rest of the group returned to the vehicle later that night, Travis was nowhere to be found. At first, there was no immediate panic. Friends assumed Travis may have met someone or found another way home, and that he would call to let them know what was going on. But hours passed, then days, and that call never came.Travis's family reported him missing to the Siloam Springs Police Department. Since Travis was last seen in downtown Fayetteville, police later said the case was transferred to the Fayetteville Police Department. What happened next would have long-lasting consequences. Due to a breakdown in communication between agencies, no one opened an active investigation into Travis's disappearance. For years, each department believed the other was handling the case. In reality, no investigation was underway at all.By the time the error was discovered, critical time had been lost. Leads had gone cold, evidence was gone, and memories had faded. Nearly twenty years later, Travis Roberson's family is still searching for answers about what happened to him that night.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Travis Roberson, please contact the Siloam Springs Police Department at 479-524-4118.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send a textWhat would drive a 23-year-old to stage his own disappearance—and stay silent for 45 years?In this unforgettable conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Steven Kubacki, PhD, whose 1978 disappearance on the frozen ice of Lake Michigan became one of America's most baffling mysteries. What the public never knew—until now—is that Steven's disappearance was intentional, ideological, and deeply personal.Steven reveals how a secret plan to “go underground” collided with an unexpected multidimensional experience that forever reshaped his understanding of consciousness, purpose, and human connection. From assuming a new identity to training in martial arts, confronting the dark side of power, and ultimately returning home claiming amnesia, Steven unpacks the psychological, spiritual, and ethical implications of radical action.Now, decades later, his book The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation serves as both an origin story and a warning—exploring certainty, extremism, social systems, and why meaning, connection, and structure matter more than ever in today's divided world.This episode challenges how we think about truth, identity, belief, and what it really takes to live authentically in chaotic times. 

On a quiet stretch of Midwestern road, just outside the small town where everyone knew everyone else, DiAnne Kiedel disappeared into the kind of mystery that only seems possible in places that feel safe. She was a mother. A neighbor. The woman who waved when she drove past. And then, suddenly, she was the center of whispered conversations, late-night searches, and a question that refused to fade: what really happened that night? In this episode, we peel back the layers of a story that starts with an ordinary evening—and spirals into something far darker than anyone in town was prepared to face.SOURCES:1) Old Time Crime: 1966 missing person case solved 27 years later2) The Eternal Flame3) The Eternal Flame Part 24) Memory of Slaying Kept Secret for 29 Years

Keyonta Davis disappeared from Baltimore, Maryland, just days after his twenty-first birthday in March of 2020. On his birthday, Keyonta stopped by his mother Angie's home, and the two made plans to get together the following day so she could bake him a cake. The next day, Keyonta went to work and called Angie during his lunch break. Nothing about that conversation suggested anything was wrong, but he never showed up for that birthday cake, and Angie never heard from her son again.Keyonta was a young adult with disabilities who needed ongoing support as he moved into adulthood. He worked part-time at an adult day care center, a job he enjoyed and took pride in. Although he was no longer living at home, Keyonta stayed in regular contact with his mother and other family members. Disappearing without a word was completely out of character for him.In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Keyonta confided in Angie about the people he was living with. He told her they were taking his money and using the benefits he received because of his disability. Angie began to fear her son was being financially exploited. When she tried to step in and help, she was met with resistance. Keyonta insisted he could handle the situation himself.When Angie attempted to report her son missing, she said the Baltimore Police Department initially turned her away, telling her that Keyonta was an adult and did not have to stay in contact with family if he didn't want to. But Angie knew something was wrong. With little help from authorities, she felt compelled to begin asking questions on her own. What she learned was deeply troubling.Although a missing persons case was eventually opened, Angie believes little effort was made to locate Keyonta or determine what happened to him. Nearly six years later, she continues to advocate for her son, pushing for answers and justice.If you have any information about the disappearance of Keyonta Davis, please contact the Baltimore Police Department Missing Persons Unit at (443) 983-7385.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
