In February of 2022, a 32-year-old nursing student from Kenya went missing in Wyoming after moving there with her boyfriend. Between allegedly burning unknown items in a metal drum, to her phone number being deactivated, police and her family began to wonder if her partner potentially had something to do with her disappearance. This is the story of Irene Gakwa. BONUS EPISODES patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1. Find Irene Gakwa Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/findirenegawka/ 2.

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime, 47,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020. This means that, on average, a woman or girl is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of three women who were likely murdered by their partners. Irene Gakwa met her boyfriend Nathan Hightman on Craigslist. The two had an on-again, off-again relationship and Irene's family did not know that the two were still living together in February 2022. Irene spoke to her family in Kenya in late February this year and has not been seen again. The day after she vanished, Nathan purchased a 55 gallon drum and was seen burning something in it. He is not cooperating with police. Karina Castro had a fight over Snapchat in September 2022 with her estranged, violent partner Rafa Solano. She threatened to tell everyone about Rafa's sexual relationships. The following day, Rafa turned up to Karina's home with a samurai sword. He beheaded her in the street outside her apartment, while her two young children were just feet away. Maya Millete and her husband Larry had been having marriage troubles in early 2021. Maya was planning to separate from him and had consulted an attorney. When Maya's family could not get in touch with her, they went to her home and forced Larry to open the door to the room where he said Maya was. Not surprisingly, the room was empty and Maya has not been seen since. On the night of her disappearance, many loud gunshots were heard by neighbors. Larry has since been arrested and charged with Maya's murder – her remains have not been recovered. Maya's disappearance is a strange one that involves witchcraft and hexes that were initiated by Larry in an attempt to control her.

In 2019, 29-year-old Irene Gakwa made a big move: she flew from her home in Kenya to the United States to start a new life. Irene had always loved helping people, and she was going to turn that love into a career by studying nursing. Fortunately, Irene already had a support system in the states: her two brothers, Chris and Kennedy lived in Boise, Idaho, and she was going to join them. Everything was going according to plan, and Irene even fell in love. But her family alleges that her boyfriend was no Prince Charming. They say that he was controlling and worked to isolate Irene from her family.On February 24, 2022, Irene had a video call with her parents. She hasn't been seen since. Did she, as her boyfriend claims, decide to pack up and move once again, or has something much worse happened to Irene?If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Irene Gakwa, or if you've seen a grey or silver Subaru Crosstrek with Idaho license plates that may have been seen trespassing on private property or in rural parts of Campbell County between February 24 and March 20, please contact the Gillette Police Department at 307-682-5155.Iwapo una habari yoyote kuhusu kutoweka kwa Irene Gakwa, au ikiwa umeona Subaru Crosstrek ya kijivu au ya fedha yenye nambari za leseni za Idaho ambayo inaweza kuwa ilionekana ikiingilia mali ya kibinafsi au katika maeneo ya mashambani ya Kaunti ya Campbell kati ya Februari 24 na Machi 20. , tafadhali wasiliana na Idara ya Polisi ya Gillette kwa 307-682-5155.We are proud members of Spreaker Prime and The Darkcast Network.Find us everywhere: https://linktr.ee/attwgpodGet episodes early and ad-free on Patreon: https://patreon.com/attwgpodMerch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/attwgpodFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blog: https://andthentheyweregone.com/blogThis week's promo is brought to you by Partial list of sources:https://namus.nij.ojp.gov/case/MP90106https://whereisirene.com/index.phphttps://juryfile.com/2022/04/21/irene-gakwa/https://diasporamessenger.com/2022/05/online-love-ended-in-agony-for-missing-kenyan-woman-irene-gakwa-in-us/https://www.news-journal.com/fianc-of-missing-woman-arrested-for-allegedly-stealing-from-her/article_f5a7498c-ff3c-5e33-a7cd-9ac556a8cb5e.htmlhttps://county17.com/2022/05/11/person-of-interest-arrested-in-gillette-missing-woman-case/
