Show notes
On prom night in 2005, four teenagers, Megan Poston, Michael Dillon, Eddrick Clark, and Donté Ward, were shot and killed on a residential street in Huntington, West Virginia. Police seemed to be closing in quickly, witnesses claimed they knew what happened, and investigators identified people they believed were connected to the crime. Yet no one was ever held accountable.
More than twenty-one years later, new investigators are reviewing the case and a person who may hold critical answers could soon be released from prison. For four grieving families, the question is no longer just who was responsible, but how a case surrounded by allegations, fear, and people willing to talk was allowed to remain unsolved for so long.

Show notes
On November 28, 1981, 25-year-old Joan Webster landed at Boston’s Logan Airport after spending Thanksgiving with her family. A talented artist studying architecture at Harvard, Joan was returning to the life she was building in Cambridge. But she never made it back to campus.
As her loved ones searched for answers, her belongings began turning up in different places. Investigators would develop a theory about what happened to her, but the story that emerged would leave crucial questions unanswered. And over time, even the investigation itself would come under scrutiny.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Massachusetts State Police Unresolved Cases Unit at 1-855-627-6583.

Show notes
On December 19, 1996, Margaret Cox was last seen near the Big Oyster service station on the Pacific Highway in Taree, New South Wales.
What happened next would leave her family searching for answers for decades.
Nearly four years later, on September 22, 2000, Cherylee Nowlan Masters was last seen on Albert Street in Taree. She told friends she planned to travel to the Maitland area, but her movements after that remain unclear.
Years later, the investigation into William Tyrrell’s disappearance would bring troubling information about both cases to light that has people wondering if a serial killer could be connected.

Show notes
In October 1989, 10-year-old Amy Mihaljevic began receiving phone calls from a man who claimed to work with her mom. This man told Amy that her mom had received a promotion at work, and he needed Amy's help picking out a gift. They arranged to meet up and Amy was never seen alive again. Despite an extensive investigation with tens of thousands of hours spent on leads and potential suspects, her case remains unsolved to this day. However, in the fall of 2024, investigators say they have brand new evidence that they hope will finally lead to answers.
Anyone with information about Amy Mihaljevic’s death is asked to call investigators at 1-877-FBI-OHIO or the Bay Village Police Department at 440-871-1234.

Show notes
On March 16, 1968, 17-year-old Helen Harrison finished work in Pitt Town, New South Wales, Australia, and set off on her usual bicycle ride home. She never arrived.
More than fifty years later, Helen’s name surfaced during the inquest into William Tyrrell’s disappearance. Why was a teenager who vanished in 1968 being discussed in the search for a little boy who disappeared decades later?
This week we follow Helen’s story, the accounts that emerged over the years, and a family’s determination to find out what happened on that ride home.
Anyone with information about Helen Harrison’s case can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 from within Australia or submit information at nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Show notes
Seven years after William Tyrrell disappeared, detectives told his foster mother they knew where he was. But they hadn’t found him. They were accusing her of concealing his body, an allegation she denied.
In the final installment of this series, we follow the investigation’s renewed focus on William’s foster mother, the secret recordings, the searches, and the legal battles that brought the police theory under scrutiny. We return to the morning William disappeared to examine what the evidence supports and the questions that remain unanswered.
We also return to the people whose lives have been shaped by William’s absence, including his sister, who told the inquest she wanted to become a detective so she could find her brother.
William Tyrrell was three years old when he disappeared on September 12, 2014, from his foster grandmother’s home on Benaroon Drive in Kendall, New South Wales, Australia. He would be 15 years old as of this episode’s release. William is white, with straight brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a large, dark freckle on the top of his head, approximately two inches behind his hairline. He was wearing a Spider-Man suit when he disappeared.
Anyone with information about William’s disappearance or whereabouts is urged to contact NSW Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 within Australia, or submit information through the NSW Crime Stoppers online reporting service.

Show notes
On Christmas Day in 2021, 18-year-old Ariana Ptarcinski suffered a fatal stab wound at her family’s home in Spring Hill, Florida. She died the following day. Her death was ruled a homicide, but in August 2023, prosecutors declined to file criminal charges, citing what they described as insufficient evidence of criminal intent.
For this bonus episode of Voices for Justice, I’m joined by Aaron from the Generation Why podcast. Aaron has been speaking with Ariana’s father, Ed, and takes the lead as we discuss the circumstances surrounding her death, the questions her family has raised about the investigation, and their efforts to get justice.
Ariana was a talented artist, a recent high school graduate, and a young woman making plans for her future. Her story deserves to be heard, and her family shouldn’t have to fight for answers alone.
Please share this episode to help raise awareness. You can learn more about Ariana, follow updates about her case, and find ways to support the call for justice through the links below.
If you have any information about Ariana Ptarcinski’s death, please contact the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office at 352-754-6830, or submit an anonymous tip through Hernando County Crime Stoppers at 1-866-990-8477.

Show notes
The search for William Tyrrell was becoming one of the largest missing child investigations in Australian history. But as the years passed without answers, the investigation itself began to change.
In Part 3, we examine a major turning point in William’s case: the coronial inquest, the investigation led by Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin, and the controversy that ultimately removed him from the case.
We look at the covert recordings that led to criminal charges against Jubelin, his eventual conviction, and what was happening in the search for William as the investigation moved forward without him.
With competing theories, intense scrutiny, and years of investigative work behind the case, one question remained unchanged: What happened to William Tyrrell?
William was three years old when he disappeared from Kendall, New South Wales, on September 12, 2014. He was wearing a Spider-Man suit at the time of his disappearance.
Anyone with information about William’s disappearance is urged to contact Crime Stoppers Australia.

Show notes
A tip about a washing machine repairman gave investigators a name to pursue in William Tyrrell’s disappearance. But as scrutiny of Bill Spedding intensified, the evidence supporting his alibi raised questions about the direction of the investigation.
In part two, I examine why police focused on Spedding, what happened when they investigated him, and how their attention shifted toward William’s foster grandmother’s neighbor, Paul Savage. We follow Detective Gary Jubelin’s efforts to test his theories, including an operation involving a decoy Spider Man suit left along a bush trail. As investigators returned to the surrounding bushland for another extensive search, one question remained central: Had William wandered away, or was someone else responsible for his disappearance?
William Tyrrell was last seen on September 12, 2014, at his foster grandmother’s home on Benaroon Drive in Kendall, New South Wales, Australia. He was three years old when he disappeared and would be 15 years old as of September 2026.
William is white, with straight brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a large, dark freckle on the top left side of his head, approximately five centimeters, or two inches, behind his hairline. He was wearing a Spider Man costume when he disappeared.
Anyone with information about William’s disappearance or whereabouts should contact NSW Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 within Australia. Information can also be submitted through the NSW Crime Stoppers website, and you can remain anonymous. A reward of AU$1 million is offered for information that leads police to William.

Show notes
On September 12, 2014, three-year-old William Tyrrell disappeared while playing at his foster grandmother’s home on Benaroon Drive in Kendall, New South Wales, Australia.
Within hours, an enormous search was underway. Police, emergency services, and members of the community combed the surrounding bushland, creeks, roads, and properties looking for the little boy. But William was nowhere to be found.
In Part One of this series, we go back to the beginning. We examine William’s life before his disappearance, the events of that morning, the frantic search that followed, and the earliest stages of an investigation that would become one of Australia’s most well-known missing child cases.
Anyone with information about William’s disappearance, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is urged to contact NSW Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000. Information can be provided anonymously.

Show notes
In August of 1977, 22 year old Shari Lynn Roth left her apartment in North Conway, New Hampshire, for a short afternoon hike. She was supposed to arrive at the teen program where she worked by seven o’clock that evening, but she never showed up. Three days later, Shari was found murdered in the White Mountains.
Nearly 50 years later, Shari’s case remains unsolved. Investigators are hoping brand new pictures, old hiking logs, memories from the trail, and information about a red Volkswagen Beetle could finally lead them to the person responsible. This episode examines the search for Shari, an investigation that appears to have exhausted its leads within its first year, and the questions that remain about whether she encountered a stranger, someone she knew, or someone familiar with the work she was doing in North Conway.
Shari’s family is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Visit Shari’s family website to learn more, read archived articles about her case, or submit information through the family’s private contact form.
If you have information about Shari’s murder, contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at (603) 271 2663 or email [email protected]. You can also submit information through the official Cold Case Unit tip form.

Show notes
In this episode of The Next Chapter, I welcome survivor advocate and former law enforcement officer Kara Robinson Chamberlain back to Voices for Justice.
Since Kara’s first appearance in 2022, she has co-created and hosted Survivor’s Guide to True Crime, helped shape a scripted film about her life, worked on a documentary exploring ethics in true crime, and stepped into a new role as the host and investigator of Somebody Knows Something.
Kara shares how motherhood pushed her beyond coping and toward healing, and how her lived experience influences the way she approaches families, witnesses, law enforcement, and the online true crime community. We discuss the responsibility of telling real people’s stories, the complicated balance between public participation and speculation, and why ethical storytelling requires care, nuance, and a clear call to action.
I also ask Kara about the families and moments that stayed with her while filming, and why this next chapter is about using her platform to help other people find answers.
Somebody Knows Something airs Mondays on Freeform and streams the following day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for eligible United States bundle subscribers. If you have information about any case featured in the series, please contact the appropriate law enforcement agency directly.

Show notes
On the morning of March 9, 1996, Amberly Mendoza was found murdered in her bedroom in Yuma, Arizona. She was just 10 years old. Her family’s home had been filled with people following a birthday celebration, yet someone was able to reach Amberly, sexually assault her, take her life, and leave without being identified. Thirty years later, investigators have DNA believed to belong to her killer. So why has no one been held accountable?
The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $30,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information can contact the Yuma Police Department at 928-783-4421 or remain anonymous by calling 78-CRIME at 928-782-7463.
Amberly’s name also lives on through Amberly’s Place, a family advocacy center created in her memory. The organization provides crisis intervention, medical care, legal advocacy, and support to victims of abuse and violence throughout Yuma County.

Show notes
Still Seeking Justice is a new Voices for Justice series created to reconnect with families previously featured on the show, learn what has changed, and determine how we can help now.
In this first installment, Sarah speaks with Bonnie Bell, whose sister Danielle disappeared from Cantonment, Florida, at just fourteen years old in September 2001.
Bonnie shares major developments since Danielle’s original episode, including new private investigators, dozens of leads generated through media coverage, a recently completed search, and two additional locations she hopes will soon be searched.
Bonnie also discusses her effort to establish Danielle’s Law. The proposed initiative calls for urgent and consistent responses when children disappear, the elimination of the runaway label, trauma informed training for law enforcement, standardized investigative questions, and accountability when a guardian delays reporting a missing child.

Show notes
On May 24, 1986, nineteen-year-old Shelley Sikes left work at Gaido’s Seafood Restaurant in Galveston and began driving toward her boyfriend’s home. She never arrived. Witnesses saw a pickup force her car off the road, and her Ford Pinto was discovered hours later with the driver’s window shattered and her belongings still inside.
Two men were ultimately convicted of aggravated kidnapping, but Shelley’s case is not closed. She has never been found, and both men died in prison without providing information that brought her home. Investigators have made it clear that the case will remain open until Shelley is found.
Shelley was 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighed approximately 90 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a scar on her right knee and was unable to bend her right index finger. Anyone with information is asked to call the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office at 409 766 2300. Anonymous tips can be submitted at 866 248 8477.

Show notes
On the Friday before Mother’s Day in 2018, Ana Del Valle stayed home awaiting what should have been a routine visit. In the neighboring apartment, Basil Gray returned carrying a cup of coffee.
By the end of the weekend, both apartments in Brooklyn’s Bushwick Houses would be crime scenes and two seemingly ordinary lives would be connected by a mystery investigators still cannot explain.
There was no obvious motive, little physical evidence, and no clear account of how two people could be killed only steps apart in broad daylight without anyone seeing enough to identify who was responsible.
More than eight years later, what happened on the fifth floor of Building 7 and could someone still know the answer?
This is the unsolved case of Ana Del Valle and Basil Gray.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI New York at 212-384-1000 or NYPD Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

In July 2013, 17-year-old Molly Miller and 21-year-old Colt Haynes vanished after a high-speed police chase ended on a remote back road in Love County, Oklahoma. The driver emerged from the woods. Molly and Colt never did.
For nearly thirteen years, their loved ones refused to let the case or their names fade from public memory. Then, in early 2026, something changed. A long-awaited development brought renewed hope, but the question at the center of this case remains: What happened to Molly and Colt?

Today, I’m sharing an episode of The Final Hours, the show I co-host with Kourtney Nichole about missing persons and the final hours leading up to their disappearance or murder.
In October 1981, 17-year-old Kurt Sova stepped outside a Cleveland Halloween party to get some air. Two minutes later, he was gone. Five days after that, his body was found in a nearby ravine — arms outstretched, both shoes missing, and no clear cause of death.

Show notes
In February 2020, 26-year-old Marquis Martin disappeared after working a night shift at his second job.
For nearly a month, his family, friends, and community searched for him, pleading for answers and for help from law enforcement. When Marquis was finally found, it was the worst possible outcome: he had been murdered.
But as his loved ones pushed for justice, they were forced to confront another painful question. A racist image connected to the sheriff’s own son began circulating, raising serious concerns about whether Marquis’ case was handled with the urgency, care, and impartiality it deserved.
Six years later, no arrests have been made. No persons of interest have been publicly identified. And Marquis’ family is still waiting for answers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Drew County Sheriff’s Office at (870) 367-6211.

Pepita Redhair was 27 years old when she disappeared from Albuquerque, New Mexico on or about March 24, 2020. In the days and weeks that followed, her family desperately searched for answers while facing roadblocks, conflicting information, and a lack of attention during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pepita is a Native American woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She is approximately 5'1" and 140 pounds. She has two beauty marks on her chin and distinctive tattoos, including a dinosaur on her right forearm, a koi fish on her left forearm, a butterfly on her shoulder, and the word “redhair” tattooed elsewhere on her body.

Show notes
In the final part of Nancy Guthrie’s case, we pick up with the update that changed everything: law enforcement had recovered previously inaccessible doorbell camera footage showing a masked, armed man outside Nancy’s Tucson home in the early morning hours after she was last seen.
From there, the case only gets more complicated. In this episode, I walk through the video, the suspect description, the DNA reportedly found at Nancy’s home, the people questioned and later released or cleared, the public focus on Nancy’s family, the Mexico angle, and the intense media ecosystem that has formed around this case.
And just as this episode was being posted, a new report surfaced involving an anonymous tip and a renewed search effort in Mexico another reminder that Nancy’s case is still active, still developing, and still desperately in need of answers.
Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Please continue sharing the official FBI flyer and submit any information directly to law enforcement.
84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona on January 31st, 2026. She is white, 5’4” tall about 150lbs with brown hair and blue eyes.
The FBI is also asking for help identifying the suspect seen in the recovered doorbell camera footage. He is described as a male, approximately 5’9” to 5’10” with an average build. In the video, he is wearing dark clothing, gloves, a mask, and a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.
There is a reward of up to $1.2 Million in this case.
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.GOV, or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.

Show notes
For years, people have asked what active searching for Alissa looks like in 2026. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent search effort that left me with more questions than answers.
After being directed toward a specific area, our search team brought in trained dogs. During the search, the dogs alerted in a location that raised serious concerns. Despite those alerts, law enforcement has declined to conduct additional follow-up at this time.
This episode isn’t about speculation. It’s about documenting what happened, sharing the reality of searching for a missing loved one decades later, and explaining why families often find themselves fighting for answers long after public attention fades.
Alissa Turney disappeared from Phoenix, Arizona, on May 17, 2001, and remains missing. If you have information about her disappearance, please contact the Phoenix Police Department, submit a tip to Silent Witness, or contact me directly.
Thank you for continuing to keep Alissa’s name and story alive.

Show notes
Like so many people in the US, 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was struggling with housing insecurity. She worked at Best Buy in San Francisco, California and would often travel up to 4 hours a day to commute to work from wherever she was staying at the time. Sometimes the commute was so bad, Nicole would just crash on a couch until her next shift. This meant she would have to leave her two-year-old daughter Arianna with a babysitter for extended periods of time.
This was the reality of trying to make ends meet for Nicole. Eventually, one of her coworkers noticed what Nicole was going through just to get to work each day and offered for her and Arianna to move in with her. Nicole was ecstatic. She scraped together enough money to get Arianna a new bed and told the babysitter she was coming to pick up her daughter.
But she was met with resistance from the babysitter, saying they were out of town taking Arianna to Disneyland, she’d have to grab her daughter another day. Nicole was upset, obviously because she was ready to pick up her daughter but also because they didn’t tell her they’d be taking Arianna out of town. According to Nicole’s new roommate Goyette Williams, the plan was for Nicole to pick up her daughter on April 3rd, 2016. But on the night of April 1st, Nicole withdrew a large amount of money from her bank account, says she was going to meet the babysitter and would be back in 5 minutes.
A week later, Nicole’s body was found in a local park. Nicole’s killer has never been caught and Arianna remains missing to this day.
32-year-old Nicole Fitts was found murdered in McLaren Park in San Francisco, California on April 8th 2016. She was a black female with black hair and brown eyes.
Nicole’s daughter, Arianna Fitts was last seen in Oakland California in February 2016. When she went missing, she was 2 years old, weighed approximately 45 pounds and was 2 feet tall. She is a black female with black hair and brown eyes. As of recording this episode, Arianna Fitts would now be 8 years old.
The San Francisco Police Department is offering a $250,000 reward for information about Nicole and Arianna. And Best Buy is offering an additional $10,000 reward.
If you see Arianna, call 911 immediately. If you have information on Arianna’s whereabouts or anything related to the homicide of Nicole, contact the SFPD Homicide Unit at 415-553-1145, the SFPD Anonymous Tip Line at 415-575-4444, or text a tip to TIP 411 with SFPD at the beginning of the message, or visit sanfranciscopolice.org/tip.

On February 4, 2003, four-year-old Sofia Juarez left her home in Kennewick, Washington, with a dollar in her hand and plans to walk to a nearby store. She never made it there.
What followed was Washington State’s first AMBER Alert, a massive search, and a case that has haunted Sofia’s family and community for more than two decades. Over the years, investigators have pursued witness statements, vehicle descriptions, possible sightings, and renewed leads including a viral TikTok video that brought Sofia’s case back into the national spotlight.
In this episode, we walk through the day Sofia disappeared, the investigation that followed, the people still searching for answers, and the questions that remain.
Sofia Lucerno Juarez was four years old when she disappeared from Kennewick, Washington, on February 4, 2003. She is Hispanic, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time, she was about 3 feet tall and weighed around 33 pounds. She was last seen wearing a blue or red long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, violet socks, white shoes, and gold hoop earrings. She may use the last name Hernandez.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kennewick Police Department at 509-585-4208 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.

Show notes
Twenty-five years ago, my sister Alissa Turney disappeared.
For most of that time, I have lived in the space between grief and action, between not knowing and refusing to look away. This episode is different. It is shorter, more personal, and less about retelling every detail of Alissa’s case than it is about marking what this anniversary means.
Twenty-five years is an impossible amount of time to measure. It is birthdays missed, milestones stolen, questions unanswered, and a kind of grief that changes shape but never leaves. But this year also feels like a threshold the end of one road and the beginning of another.
This is the place where the sidewalk ends.
And for me, it is where the fight for justice continues.
