On December 5th, 1872, about 400 miles off the coast of the Azores, crew members on the British ship Dei Gratia spotted a ship adrift in the sea. The Captain of the ship was shocked to find that the unguided ship was the Mary Celeste, which had departed from NYC eight days before him, and had been well past-due to have arrived in Genoa, Italy.A small crew was sent to the ship. Below deck, items had been tossed around, and crewmen's belongings were still in their quarters. The only lifeboat on the ship was missing, and one of the pumps was disassembled. There was a large supply of food and drink, but not a soul on the ship to consume it. So what happened to the ten people who had been on board the Mary Celeste? Sources: 1) https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/abandoned-ship-the-mary-celeste-174488104/ 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Celeste 3) https://sippican.theweektoday.com/article/family-gathers-celebrate-legend-mary-celeste/58992 Support the show

It will also illustrate the damage that can be done to an investigation and the child's loved ones when cyber bullies decide to wage a battle against them.

Often in true crime spaces we come across cases where a murder is never solved, where a murdered person's family never finds justice, where a body is never properly laid to rest. Sometimes we get one of these things, or two, and, more rarely than it SHOULD happen, sometimes we get all three. Today's case is all 3: a body found, a murder solved, and justice served.

An aspiring Eagle Scout, Quentin Bloome leads a community project to help parents safeguard their children. He's creating safety packets filled with essential details like fingerprints and birthmarks, vital for swift action in case a child goes missing.

Available for children up to 18 years old, the project fulfills part of Quentin's Eagle Scout requirements and is also a personal mission to raise awareness about child safety. Quentin urges parents to seek assistance, even beyond his Scout duties. Quentin intends to use his 10 years in the Boy Scouts when he enlists with the Marines after he graduates from Kewanee High School. Attaining the Eagle Scout rank will allow Quentin to be an E-3 after basic training. Quentin has until April 23, 2025, to complete his project. Listen to Quentin Bloome on air on Tuesday, April 15th, during the 8:25 AM interview segment on 102.1 FM and 1450 AM.

When Michael Rockefeller (yes, of THE Rockefeller Family) disappeared during an expedition in the Asmat region of southwestern Dutch New Guinea (now South Papua), no one knew what had happened to him. There's a few theories. Some are simple, and some are sinister. Support the show

Around 4:00 AM on August 23, 1987 in the tiny city of Alexander, Arkansas, a locomotive engineer noticed that there were people laying down on the train tracks. The engineer engaged the train's brakes and sounded the horn, but the train was unable to stop in time.When 16-year-old Don Henry and 17-year-old Kevin Ives were hit by this freight train, their death was initially and unsurprisingly ruled an accident. However, after researching this case, I think it's safe to say that the deaths of these teenagers were anything but accidental. Sources:1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Don_Henry_and_Kevin_Ives2) https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/jun/05/mom-of-cold-case-victim-dies/3) https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/kevin-ives-and-don-henry-12289/4) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/120221988/lionel_keith-mckaskle#view-photo=190741804 5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Seal 6) https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/jun/05/mom-of-cold-case-victim-dies/ Support the show

Journalist, radio personality, and socialite Dorothy Kilgallen was found dead in her apartment in New York City on November 8, 1965. She was found sitting up in bed, fully dressed and made up. Her official cause of death was an overdose of barbiturates combined with alcohol. But alcohol and barbiturates cannot explain why Dorothy's notes on the single most famous case she had ever investigated were missing–and why, two days later, a friend to whom she had given a draft of a chapter exploring theories of this case was also found dead under mysterious circumstances. Alcohol and barbiturates cannot explain why every trace of her research and theories were never seen again. Sources: 1) https://historyandimagination.com/2020/09/22/the-strange-death-of-dorothy-kilgallen-part-one/2)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination_conspiracy_theories3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy4) https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKkilgallen.htm5) https://oceanwriterreads.com/2024/03/25/book-review-the-incredible-life-and-mysterious-death-of-dorothy-kilgallen-by-sara-jordan-heintz/6) https://arapahoenews.com/12462/uncategorized/dorothy-kilgallen-reporter-cloaked-in-controversy/7) https://digitalcommons.law.uga.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1283&context=fac_pm8) https://www.tigertimesonline.com/entertainment/2018/04/the-scandals-of-jfk/Support the show

This episode has so many twists and turns that if it was a novel, someone on Goodreads would complain about it being "unrealistic". A whole family was murdered one night in the 1870s. The motive was clear, but the perpetrator was (and still is) a mystery. Though a trial ensues, the town decides to take matters into their own hands. Otherwise known as The Horsey Episode. Sources: 1) https://johnbrassardjr.com/2020/01/11/the-spencer-family-massacre-part-1/ 2) https://johnbrassardjr.com/2020/01/25/the-spencer-family-massacre-part-2/3) https://khqa.com/news/local/family-of-five-brutally-murdered-in-clark-county-in-18774) https://www.mississippivalleypublishing.com/group-takes-another-look-at-125-year-old-murder-case/article_b57f4759-a9c7-5ef7-89f9-0be4783df114.htmlSupport the show

In March 2015, Fiona Lu showed up at her son Mike Zhao-Beckenridge's school to pick him up, only to find he was missing. Panicked, she called the police, convinced that her ex-husband John Beckenridge, whom Mike adored, had taken him. By the time the authorities stepped in, John and Mike were already on the run. Days later, John's car was discovered at the bottom of a cliff, but there was no sign of either of them. Journalist Michael Wright, co-host of The Lost Boy podcast, explores two possibilities: either Mike and John died in March 2015, or they're still alive today.

When 13-year-old Bianca Piper got into an argument with her mother, Shannon Tanner, over doing the dishes, Shannon put her in the car, drove her a mile up the road, and told her to walk home. While this may seem like an odd form of punishment, it was actually something that had been recommended by Bianca's therapist. But on March 10, 2005, Bianca never made it home. Investigators in Foley, Missouri performed an extensive search but uncovered almost no clues regarding the missing girl. Over the years, they've investigated many theories, including the possibility of Bianca's disappearance being related to those of other children in Lincoln County. Was Bianca abducted by a stranger, or was the reason behind her disappearance closer to home?Anyone with information regarding Bianca Piper's disappearance is urged to submit a tip through the Lincoln County Sheriff's website or through their tipline at 636-462-6513.Buy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/and-then-they-were-gone--5360779/support.

“Dear Everybody, I'm sorry for everything. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Jaliek.” This is the letter that Stephen Kerr said his 12-year-old adopted son left in his empty bedroom at his grandparents' home on November 1, 2007, right before he went missing. By all accounts, Jaliek was an emotionally troubled boy, and there was a great deal of friction within his family. Is this a note written by a child right before he decided to run away? Or, is there more to this letter and Jaliek's home life than it appears? Jaliek Rainwalker has been missing from Greenwich, New York, for nearly 17 years. In the 12 years leading up to his disappearance, multiple people failed this child. Now, the question is, where is Jaliek Rainwalker, and who is responsible for his disappearance?Anyone with information regarding Jaliek Rainwalker's disappearance is urged to call the Greenwich Village Police Department at 518-692-9332.Buy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blogBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/and-then-they-were-gone--5360779/support.

Four-year-old Bobby Dunbar wandered away from the family's tent and disappeared that night. During a search, a boy matching Bobby's age and description was found.

Ten year old Amber Barker was riding her bike home from a friend's house.  It wasn't a long distance, just over half a mile through neighborhood roads she was highly familiar with.  Unfortunately, she never arrived.Within hours, the Oklahoma City Police Department descended upon the neighborhood and began searching.  The next day they were joined by more than 30 FBI agents.  It was clear that something sinister had occurred.While investigators maintained optimism in the beginning, the discovery of a disturbing trail of clues suggested the child was in grave danger.  Closing in on a person of interest, detectives were devastated when the man died, taking everything he knew with him to the grave.Sponsored by:  Shopify!  Visit Shopify.com/trace and sign up for a $1 per month trial period.Trace Evidence LinkTree & Social MediaMusic Courtesy of: "Lost Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrime #truecrimepodcast #realcrimes #disappearance #disappeared #missing #unsolved #unsolvedmysteries #evidence #investigation #missingperson #traceevidence #homicide #detective #coldcase #creepy #truecrimestory #truecrimestories #oklahomacity #oklahomacitycrime #oklahomacrime #barker #amberbarker #bonniebarker #danielsmith #joeybishop #missingchildBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.
