Unlawful secret disappearance

Last week, we shared Part 1 of Junaliza Chappell's story. By February of 2007, Juna was preparing to leave her husband, Timothy, and start over in California with her 3-year-old daughter, Ashley.Juna had carefully crafted her exit plan. Ashley was already in California, staying with Juna's trusted friends, Frank and Grace. Juna had moved some of her belongings into a storage unit there. She had a new job waiting for her, but first she needed to attend job training in Florida. From there, the plan was for Juna to fly back to Atlanta, get her car, and drive west. But Juna never made it to California.Timothy later claimed that he picked Juna up from the Atlanta airport and took her to Walmart to pick up a prescription. He said Juna went inside and never came back out. From the beginning, there were problems with that story, and by the time investigators tried to verify it, potential surveillance footage was already gone.Then the situation became even more alarming. Juna's coworker and friend, Faye, began learning more about Timothy's past. Around that same time, Timothy seemed to disappear, too, and Ashley was with him. When Timothy was eventually found, he was driving Juna's car, and Ashley was in the backseat. Inside the vehicle were belongings Juna likely would have taken with her if she had been the one driving to California, including her purse.Timothy was arrested that day, but not for anything connected to Juna's disappearance. He was arrested because he was a sex offender who had failed to register, and authorities had found Ashley in his care.In Part 2, we shift the focus to the women who kept pushing after Juna vanished. Faye kept digging. She searched for more information about Timothy's past, followed the details that did not add up, and tried to gather anything that might help keep him incarcerated. Now-retired U.S. Marshal Katrina stayed focused on Timothy from a different angle. She had already been searching for him before Juna disappeared. As new information surfaced, the case became darker, more complicated, and increasingly tied to the man Juna had been trying to leave.If you have any information about the disappearance of Junaliza Chappell, please contact the Atlanta Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 404-546-4235.Ashley has also created an email address for tips. If you have information but do not feel comfortable contacting law enforcement directly, you can email bringjunalizahome@gmail.com.

This week's episode is a musical time machine. In the late 1960s, the band Zapata sprang out of a street gang in northwest Washington, D.C., with a sound that combined a variety of contemporary styles: Afro-Caribbean rhythms, soul jazz and the golden era of American R&B. The mixture worked. For a few years, Zapata opened for an astonishing number of A-list acts passing through the city, like Miles Davis, Sly and the Family Stone, Herbie Hancock and The Isley Brothers. But the band would break up in 1974, and for years their recorded material was believed to be lost. Now, surviving member Pepe Gonzalez has restored a cassette tape of Zapata's music from 1971, and is releasing it for the first time. In this episode, Felix chats with Gonzalez about the origins of the band, and how they tried to unify the Black and Hispanic musical scenes in the city at the time.The podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell and edited by Otis Hart.

Four lots in Chester, South Carolina. A timeshare in Las Vegas. And women who vanished near both.Rex Heuermann's property records map a geographic footprint that extends well beyond Long Island. A woman disappeared twenty miles from his South Carolina property. An escort vanished in Las Vegas two weeks after he purchased a timeshare there. The timelines are circumstantial. They are also the kind of circumstantial evidence that launches investigations.The judge who sentenced Heuermann to three consecutive life terms plus a hundred years chose his words deliberately: eight that we know of. He was not speculating. He was telling a courtroom full of grieving families that the man in front of them may not have been fully accounted for.Heuermann's New York plea deal is jurisdictionally specific. It covers eight murders in Suffolk County and nothing else. South Carolina has the death penalty. Nevada has the death penalty. If either state develops a case connected to Heuermann, they build it independently and they have sentencing tools New York never had.Meanwhile, investigators are still processing a hundred and twenty terabytes of data from his devices, including a planning document he believed he had erased. Seven thousand pages. If that data contains evidence of crimes beyond the eight he admitted to, the legal questions multiply: who has jurisdiction, who gets access, and what can prosecutors in other states do with material obtained through a New York investigation.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis walks through the realistic pathways — what it actually takes to go from a property record and a missing persons report to a murder charge in a different state, and whether anyone is positioned to do it.Seventeen years of killing. Eight confessions. Property in multiple states. The judge said the number out loud for a reason.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode originally aired on September 30, 2024. On June 24, 2024, 21-year-old Zyanya Valora stayed up late after her parents went to bed. In the early morning hours of June 25, around 2:30 AM, she is believed to have left their home in Ojai, California. Her family suspects she was barefoot and wearing a tank top and shorts.Later that morning, Zyanya's parents assumed she was simply sleeping in, as young people often do. However, around 11 AM, her mother, Damaris, discovered that her daughter was not in her room or anywhere inside their home. Concerned, Damaris called her husband at work and began searching the neighborhood. After failing to find Zyanya, Damaris reported her daughter missing.An extensive search was conducted for Zyanya, who has autism and was considered at-risk. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office, along with other agencies, dedicated five days to searching the area. Unfortunately, despite those efforts, no trace of Zyanya was found at the time.Since this episode first aired, there has been an update in Zyanya's case. In September of 2025, after 15 months of searching, Zyanya's remains were discovered in the Ventura Riverbed in Ojai. Her cause and manner of death were later ruled undetermined. We will share more about this update at the end of the episode.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.

Lisa Dorrian was a bright, beloved young woman spending her early 20s in her hometown of Bangor, Northern Ireland. However, in early 2005, her family noticed a shift in their daughter once she began hanging out with a new friend group, and her weekend activities changed from light partying to heavy drug use. Following a strange party in a caravan park, Lisa reportedly ran off into the night, never to be seen again. Now, over 20 years later, the theories range from drug debts to paramilitary organizations, and the question remains: what happened to Lisa Dorrian?

On December 19, 2025, 31-year-old Corey Bryant disappeared from the Bemidji, Minnesota area. In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Corey's life had become increasingly unstable. Loved ones noticed that he seemed withdrawn and fearful of the people around him. Corey reportedly hinted that things had become “weird” where he was staying and suggested he no longer felt safe there.Concern escalated in January 2026 when Corey failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing. As family members began comparing notes, they realized no one had spoken to him in weeks. Then they learned that several people connected to Corey had allegedly told others that he was dead.At the same time, reports surfaced that Corey may have been seen in late January, but those claims quickly became muddled. The witness later backed away from what they had initially reported, leaving Corey's family to wonder whether it was an innocent mistake or something more intentional.The last known communication investigators have been able to establish from Corey was on the night he disappeared, when he spoke with a friend by phone. During that call, Corey reportedly said that he was afraid of the people around him. He ended the call after saying he would call back. No one ever heard from Corey again.Nearly two months later, Corey's black Kia was discovered abandoned on a trail, with his phone found inside the locked vehicle. For Corey's loved ones, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance have only become more unsettling with time. The stories are inconsistent, the timeline is difficult to untangle, and Corey's family is still searching for the truth.If you have any information about the disappearance of Corey Bryant, please contact the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office at 218-333-9111.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.
