In Part 4 of Junaliza Chappell's story, we focused on Ashley and the weight she has carried since her mother disappeared. As Ashley grew older, memories from her early childhood began to connect with records, conversations, and details shared by the people who had been searching for Juna for years. Those discoveries were painful. They helped Ashley better understand her mother's fear, but they also forced her to confront parts of her own story that remain unresolved.We also examined the frustration surrounding Juna's case: missing records, confusion over which agency had what, and the question of whether Juna's disappearance ever received the attention it deserved. Retired U.S. Marshal Katrina, who had worked alongside Atlanta Police years earlier, still had files connected to the case. When Ashley reached out to her earlier this year, it reignited Katrina's effort to get that information into the right hands.In this fifth and final episode, we take a look at where things stand now. Nearly two decades have passed since Juna vanished. For many of those years, the people connected to this case had at least some peace of mind knowing that Timothy Chappell was behind bars. But his release date is now approaching, and for Ashley, Kareen, Faye, and Katrina, that has brought back fear they have never fully been able to put down.In Part 5, we will discuss Tim's alleged hit list, the concerns surrounding his release, the search for any remaining legal options, and why the people who have spent years fighting for Juna believe her case cannot be allowed to sit quietly in the past.If you have any information about the disappearance of Junaliza Chappell, please contact the Atlanta Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 404-546-4235.

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, the disappearance of 35-year-old Tyler Goodrich becomes a heartbreaking mystery with almost no trail to follow. What starts with a heated divorce conversation, a 911 call, and Tyler running from the garage camera quickly becomes his car left behind, his phone shutting off minutes later, missed weekend plans, searches across Nebraska trails and fields, tracking dogs leading to a road near a fire station, community flyers, family tension, and one question still haunting everyone who loved him.

In July 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness left her Atlanta apartment for what should have been a routine late-night walk with her dog, Bowie. Security footage captured the pair near the entrance of Piedmont Park just after midnight. Less than an hour later, Katie's partner used Find My iPhone to track her location inside the park, only to discover a horrifying crime scene. Investigators described the attack as exceptionally violent. Katie and Bowie were both killed, yet nothing appeared to have been stolen. The brutality of the crime, the strange details left behind at the scene, and the fact that it occurred in one of Atlanta's busiest public spaces left investigators searching for answers. Despite witness appeals, surveillance reviews, and years of forensic work, no suspect has ever been publicly identified. Now, years later, the case remains active. Detectives and the FBI continue to pursue new leads, including advanced DNA analysis and forensic genealogy techniques. With a reward offered and investigators still working the case, the question remains: who killed Katie Janness and Bowie in Piedmont Park and how did they disappear without a trace?

There's a version of the Nolan Wells case where three friends panic, make a bad call, and everything else is just grief and bad luck. And there's the version where a wiped phone, a lawyered-up friend group, and a boat nobody's bothered to inspect start to look like something else entirely. Nolan went out to Horn Island for the Fourth of July with three friends; only three came back. His phone eventually surfaced at the boat owner's house — Snapchat wiped on it, no phone call to his mother letting her know it had turned up. The friends' story is that Nolan wanted to stay behind for a girl. The girl's story doesn't match. The stated reason the boat left him behind — that it was taking on water — has never been independently checked, because as far as anyone can tell, the boat itself has never been examined by investigators at all. Nolan's own best friend, who was there that day, says he's never even been contacted. A Jackson County judge's stepson was on that boat too. The Coast Guard got a call at 11 PM and decided it wasn't urgent. Two days and a failed search later, Nolan was found face down in the water, right where he was last seen alive. His parents ordered their own autopsy rather than take Mississippi's word for it. Hundreds have marched in Ocean Springs. The funeral needs an arena. And the sheriff's answer to all of it, so far, is that his office won't be rushed — which is a strange thing to say about evidence with an expiration date.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A designer with 20+ years of experience sits in front of twelve competent, AI-generated screens... and can't evaluate a single one. Not because they're bad. Because something is missing. And the same thing happened to me.In this episode, I investigate this case like a detective story: What was taken from us? Who took it? The answer turned out to be the most hopeful thing I've learned about design in years, disguised as a crisis. Because the comps were never the design. The comps are the artifact. The design is the model in your head, and no tool can generate it.In this episode:The mystery: why the most trained design judgment goes offline in front of good AI output (and why "AI output is slop" is the wrong explanation)The three suspects: the AI, the speed, and the surprising real culpritWhy "the back-and-forth builds the model": the experiment that proves your value was never in the pixelsThe cold case behind it all: how we spent 20 years selling the first three rounds, and why that gap just closed foreverThe stakes ladder: what happens when a designer, a team, or a whole organization over-trusts AI outputTaste redefined: deciding, not decorating, and why having no opinion defaults to the averageThe open question: if artifacts are cheap, is the "living transcript" the design deliverable of the future?Your homework: five questions before pixelsResources mentioned:Christopher Noessel "Design Was Never the Comps: What I learned when Claude Design dumped a dozen screens on me"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/design-was-never-the-comps-what-i-learned-when-claude-design-dumped-a-dozen-screens-on-me-73893af464aeChristopher Noessel "RationaleBot: Why design's near-future deliverable is a living transcript"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/rationalebot-why-designs-near-future-deliverable-is-a-living-transcript-c70613215359Christopher Noessel — "Get Claude Design to present like a consultant" (follow-up with the practical prompt)https://christophernoessel.medium.com/get-claude-design-to-present-like-a-consultant-6bf22261717fRoger Wong "A Sunday Afternoon with Claude Design" (the squiggly line, Picasso's nine Guernica studies)https://rogerwong.me/2026/04/sunday-afternoon-claude-designAnthony Wood (House of gAi) "Claude Design Came for the First Three Rounds.

What followed became the largest search in the park's history: 1,400 searchers, the National Guard, and even Green Berets pulled from Fort Bragg, all turning up nothing. No shoe. No shirt. No trace.In this episode, Madison and Chris break down the Dennis Martin disappearance: the eerie storm that washed out the trails right after he went missing, the temperature drop that made no sense for June, the child-size footprints that led to a stream and disappeared, the psychic tips the National Park Service took seriously enough to document, and a sawmill blade tied back to Dennis's own family found decades later. They dig into the three leading theories, exposure, animal attack, and abduction, and the Appalachian folklore that's followed this case for over 50 years: wild men in the deep woods, and of course, Spearfinger.Then, stick around for a ghost mail from Amy, a semi-truck driver from outside Topeka, Kansas, and her cat and road companion, Milo. What Amy and Milo saw and heard late one night in their 100-year-old limestone farmhouse will leave you wondering what was really in the room with them.
In February 1978, 23 year old College student Steven Kubacki left for a cross country skiing trip near the frozen shores of Lake Michigan and never returned. Searchers found his skis, poles, and backpack neatly arranged near the shoreline, along with a trail of footprints that appeared to lead onto the frozen lake before abruptly ending. Fourteen months later however, Steven suddenly reappeared more than 700 miles away in Massachusetts, carrying unfamiliar belongings and evidence of extensive travel while claiming he could not remember where he had been or what he had done. But when a witness came forward with a very different account of Steven's return, the mystery only deepened, beginning a decades long search for the truth behind one of America's strangest disappearances.Then ultimately more than 40 years later, Steven came forward claiming he remembered everything.Our other podcast: "FEARFUL" - https://open.spotify.com/show/56ajNkLiPoIat1V2KI9n5c?si=OyM38rdsSSyyzKAFUJpSywMERCH:https://www.redbubble.com/people/wickedandgrim/shop?asc=uPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wickedandgrim?fan_landing=trueYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@wickedlifeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wickedandgrim/ Instagram:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wickedandgrim/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/wickedandgrimWebsite: https://www.wickedandgrim.com/

Over the last several weeks, we've been untangling the disappearance of Junaliza Chappell, a young mother who was trying to leave her husband, Timothy Chappell, and start over in California with her 3-year-old daughter, Ashley.Juna had a plan. Ashley was already in California with people Juna trusted. Juna had completed job training in Florida and was supposed to return to Atlanta, get her car, and drive west. But Juna never made it back to her daughter.After Juna vanished, Timothy disappeared with Ashley. U.S. Marshals eventually found him driving Juna's car with Ashley in the backseat. Many of Juna's personal belongings were still inside the vehicle. Timothy was arrested that day, but not for anything connected to Juna's disappearance.In Part 3, we looked more closely at Timothy's history, the records Ashley later found, and the pattern that began to emerge, including his 2010 arrest for exploiting a 15-year-old girl, a case that eventually sent him to federal prison for 20 years.Part 4 is different. This episode centers on Ashley and the way her story is intertwined with her mother's disappearance. Ashley was only 3 years old when Juna vanished. For most of her life, she carried memories from that time, some painful, some confusing, and some so fragmented that she questioned whether she could trust them at all. But as Ashley began searching for answers, some of those memories began to connect to records, conversations, and details she had never fully understood before.Ashley is not only trying to understand what happened to her mother. She is also trying to understand what happened to her and what Juna may have been trying to protect her from.If you have any information about the disappearance of Junaliza Chappell, please contact the Atlanta Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 404-546-4235.

In July 2006, eighteen-year-old Roxanne Paltauf vanished from a Budget Inn near Interstate 35 and Rundberg Lane in Austin, Texas. Just hours earlier, she had promised her mother she would be home the next morning.Roxanne was the oldest of five children and shared an immensely close relationship with her family. She was working toward her GED, holding multiple jobs, and planning for her future. But those closest to her worried about her volatile relationship. After she went missing, her boyfriend Louis Reginald Walls called and claimed the couple had argued and that she stormed out of their motel room carrying nothing. He said she left behind her purse, jewelry, clothing, and cellphone, a story that immediately alarmed her family, who knew Roxanne never went anywhere without her belongings.As detectives began looking into her disappearance, after initially treating her case as little more than a lover's spat, troubling details emerged. Walls waited nearly twenty-four hours to report Roxanne missing and continued using her cellphone in the days after she vanished. Friends and family also shared allegations of abuse and growing concerns about the relationship.Despite mounting suspicions, The Austin Police lacked the evidence needed to prove a crime had occurred.Twenty years later, Roxanne Paltauf remains missing.Part one of two.Roxanne's family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction — or for information that leads to finding her remains. If you have any information about what happened to Roxanne Elizabeth Paltauf, you can submit a tip anonymously at roxannepaltauf.com or call the Austin Police Department at (512) 974-5250.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

If your church disappeared tomorrow, would your town even notice? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird discuss biblical localism and what faithful Christian influence looks like in everyday life. Rather than chasing national change while neglecting what is near, Christians are called to begin with personal faithfulness, the household, the church, and the local community. From raising godly families and serving the church to attending city council meetings, building Christian networks, and strengthening local institutions, this conversation presents a practical vision for lasting kingdom influence—one faithful step at a time.
In Parts 1 and 2 of Junaliza Chappell's story, we followed the days leading up to her disappearance and the chaotic search that followed.By February of 2007, Juna had decided to leave her husband, Timothy, and start over in California with her 3-year-old daughter, Ashley. Ashley was already there with Juna's friends, and after Juna finished job training in Florida, the plan was for her to fly back to Atlanta, get her car, and drive west. But Juna never made it, and she's never been seen or heard from again.Timothy claimed he picked Juna up from the Atlanta airport and took her to Walmart, where he said she went inside and never came back out. That story never sat right with the people who knew Juna.After Juna disappeared, Timothy took Ashley from Juna's friends in California. U.S. Marshals later found Timothy with Ashley in Juna's car. Inside the vehicle were many of Juna's personal belongings, including her purse. Timothy was arrested, and Ashley was eventually adopted by Juna's younger sister, Kareen. But Timothy wasn't arrested 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 him alone with Ashley.In Part 3, Timothy finally faces consequences, just not for what so many people believe he did to Juna.For Ashley, Timothy existed mostly in the background of her childhood. He was her biological father, but he was absent from her life. He wasn't discussed much when she was young, but as Ashley got older, Kareen began sharing more about his past. Eventually, Ashley started searching on her own. She requested records, connected with relatives she had not been in contact with, and began learning the truth about the man at the center of her mother's disappearance.This episode focuses on Timothy Chappell: the version of himself he showed to the world, the history that eventually came to light, and the patterns Ashley began to recognize as she dug through records and family stories.Ashley wasn't only learning about the man who had been arrested when she was a little girl; she was learning about the man her family believes stole Juna from them, and whose past would reshape the way Ashley understood her mother, her childhood, and herself.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.
