  Leigh Occhi - Part 1 31.07.2026 50min

  On the morning of August 27, 1992, the remnants of Hurricane Andrew were heading toward Tupelo, Mississippi. Inside a small house on Honey Locust Drive, a thirteen-year-old girl named Leigh Occhi was home alone, still in her nightgown. She had an open house at her middle school later that day, and her mom had just left for work. Around 8:30, her mother was worried about the storm, so called home to check on Leigh, but there was no answer. She called again. Still no answer. So she made the mile and a half drive home. She'd been gone less than an hour, but when she got home, Leigh was gone. In the thirty-four years since that morning, there has never been an arrest, but there have been a few people who have never quite been ruled out. Can new searches finally bring the answers that have been hidden for over three decades?If you have any information about the disappearance of Leigh Occhi, please contact the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 841-6491, or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  Anthonette Cayedito 24.07.2026 57min

  Sometime in the early morning hours of April 6, 1986, someone knocked on the door of a small home just off Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. A nine-year-old girl named Anthonette Cayedito got out of bed. By the time the sun rose, she was gone. There have been many versions of what happened between the knock and when Anthonette’s family realized she was missing, but what we do know is that there was no forced entry, no struggle, and nothing was taken– except for Anthonette. A three-day search of Gallup and the land around it turned up nothing at all.The next four decades would bring sightings, changing stories, and even what many believe is a confession. But to this day, Anthonette Cayedito remains missing.If you have any information about the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito, please contact the Gallup Police Department at (505) 863-9365, or the FBI's Albuquerque Division at (505) 889-1300.

  Susan Walsh 17.07.2026 53min

  Around noon on July 16, 1996, a 36-year-old writer named Susan Walsh told her family that she was going to run out to the pay phone down the block and make a call. She left behind her purse. She left behind her beeper. She left behind her medication and even her cigarettes.No one ever saw her again. Susan wasn’t just anyone who vanished. She was a journalist who wrote about things like the Russian mob’s grip on the go-go bars where she herself had danced, and the strange world of people in New York City who called themselves vampires. So when she disappeared, there was no shortage of lurid headlines and theories. Maybe she got too close to the wrong story. Maybe it was the vampires. Maybe it was someone much closer to home.30 years later, we still don’t know which of those, if any, is true.If you have any information about the disappearance of Susan Walsh, please contact the Nutley Police Department at (973) 284-4940. Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  Patty Otto 10.07.2026 1u 4min

  On the night of August 31, 1976, a three-year-old girl crept out of bed and witnessed her father wrap his hands around her mother's throat, push her against the wall, and drag her out of sight. The next morning, her father, Ralph Otto, told her and her sister that their mother, 24-year-old Patty Otto, wasn’t coming back.For years, Suzanne wasn’t sure what she had seen that night, but as she became an adult, she started questioning it more and more. Then, in 2021 a Facebook post turned everything she thought she knew about her mother’s disappearance completely on end. Now, she’s fighting three different states to find out what really happened to Patty Otto that night. If you have any information about the disappearance of Patty Otto, please contact the Lewiston Police Department at (208) 746-0171.

  Re-Release: Bianca Piper 03.07.2026 44min

  This episode originally aired in 2024When 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.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  Michael Negrete 26.06.2026 52min

  In the early morning hours of December 10, 1999, an 18-year-old UCLA freshman finished playing a computer game in his dorm room, stepped into the hallway to high-five the friend he'd been playing against, and walked back toward his own room. When his roommate woke up the next morning, Michael Negrete was gone.Bloodhounds traced his scent to a bus stop a few blocks away, but then the trail just stopped. Michael hadn’t been in trouble; he hadn’t been depressed; he hadn’t been running with a bad crowd. There were absolutely no red flags in his life, and nothing that would lead anyone to believe he wouldn’t finish his first semester of college and go home with everyone else. In over 26 years there's been no body, no arrest, no confirmed sighting, and not a single dollar taken out of his bank account. Police have never named a suspect, and they have never found Michael.If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Negrete, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500, and reference case number 0199003533.

  Mikelle Biggs 19.06.2026 47min

  On the evening of January 2, 1999, two sisters stood on their street in Mesa, Arizona, waiting for the ice cream truck. The older girl, who was 11, had two quarters clutched in her hand. Her little sister, who was 9, got cold and ran inside — just for a minute. When she came back out, the bike her sister had been sitting on was lying in the road, one wheel still slowly spinning. The two quarters were on the pavement nearby.And Mikelle Biggs was gone. The whole thing happened in about ninety seconds. Search dogs would later follow her scent a few feet from that spot, and then lose it completely. Police collected over 800 pieces of evidence and chased more than 10,000 tips, But nearly three decades later, Mikelle has never been found.If you have any information about the disappearance of Mikelle Biggs, please contact the Mesa Police Department Homicide Unit at 480-644-6195, or by email at p20008@mesaaz.gov.

  In 2015, 19-year-old Kately Akens was visiting her family in Spotsylvania, Virginia and celebrating her new nephew. On December 5, she was supposed to board a flight back home to her fiancee in Arizona, but she never made it to the airport. A suspect quickly emerged in her case, but police were never able to find enough evidence to make an arrest. Then, in April 2026, 10 years after she failed to board that plane, The Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office announced that they had arrested Katelin’s ex-stepfather, James Branton. Though Katelin was named as a victim, the arrest wasn’t related to her disappearance.

  On the morning of October 14, 2003, 23-year-old Felipe Santos was heading to work at a concrete and masonry company in North Naples, Florida. He was riding with two of his brothers when his white Ford Tempo collided with another car on Immokalee Road. It was a minor fender-bender, and no one was hurt. What happened next would depend on who you ask. But after that morning, Felipe was never seen again. Three months later, on January 12, 2004, 27-year-old Terrance Williams kissed his mother goodbye, handed her some gas money, and said, "I'll see you later, momma." He drove his white Cadillac toward North Naples where he was pulled over by a police officer. Terrance was also never seen again.These two men didn’t know each other. They never met, but their disappearances have been entwined for over two decades, and many people believe that they went missing because they both encountered the same man. Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  Re-Release: Samantha Clarke 10.04.2026 1u 2min

  Late in the evening of September 13, 2010, 19-year-old Samantha Clarke was dressed in her pajamas and watching TV with her younger brother in their Orange, Virginia home. But after receiving a call, she told her brother she was going out and would be back in the morning. Samantha left her home, and has never been seen again.Police had few clues to work with, but did zero in on a person of interest almost immediately. However, a lack of evidence made the case go cold. Then, 3 years later, another teenager disappeared just miles away, and police were certain the two crimes were connected. Everything seemed to be falling into place, but now, over 14 years since she was last seen, answers in Samantha’s case remain elusive. A break in her case seems just over the horizon– the question is, who will deliver it?Anyone with more information on Samantha Clarke’s disappearance is asked to contact the Orange Police Department at (540) 672-1491.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 blogOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  Arelie Garcia 03.04.2026 49min

  On Thursday, September 22, 2022, a 25-year-old woman left her apartment building in Salinas, California. She looked like anyone else going to work that morning. But she wasn’t wearing the right clothes, and she wasn’t leaving at the right time. Arelie Garcia never made it to her job that morning.Later that same day, her car was found more than an hour away, with her phone, keys, and wallet left behind. When police arrived, there was no indication of anything. Not foul play, not self-harm, and not a voluntary disappearance. Just a car that was miles away from where it should have been and a young woman who broke her daily routine. Now, over three years later, her family is still trying to piece together what happened that September morning.If you know anything about the disappearance of Arelie Garcia, contact the Salinas Police Department and Detective Edwin Cruz at 831-758-7393. Anonymous tips can be made to 831-775-4222. Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  Damien Nettles 27.03.2026 57min

  Disappearing is something “all boys do at the age of 16.” That’s what police told Valerie Nettles when she discovered her 16-year-old son, Damien, hadn’t come home the night before. The teenager had been at a party with friends on November 2, 1996, but missed his midnight curfew, and couldn’t be found the next day. The Nettles family was frantic, but police treated Damien as a runaway. This early misstep, one that we see so often in missing persons cases, meant that potential witnesses were missed, evidence was lost, and now, nearly thirty years on, no concrete answers have ever come in Damien’s disappearance. The Nettles family, however, hasn’t given up, and they’re hopeful that someone out there is still willing to do the right thing.If you have any information about Damien Nettles, you can contact Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary by calling 101 and asking for the Major Investigation Team and referencing Operation Ridgewood. You can provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111. Missing Damien BlogMissing People UKAlex Roberts MusicSubscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy 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 storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor and use my code factormeals.com/attwg50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Geviti and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.gogeviti.com* Check out Greenlight and use my code greenlight.com/attwg for a great deal: https://greenlight.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/ATTWG for a great deal: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
