Show notes

Danica Childs was a typical 17-year-old girl growing up in Federal Way, Washington. But when she met a community college student on the bus, her life went down a path no one in her family expected. What started as normal teenage rebellion, turned into staying out all night and problems in school. But when Danica failed to show up to go Christmas shopping with her sisters in 2007, her mother knew something was wrong. What she found was a mother’s worst nightmare: Danica Childs very well could have fallen victim to a sex-trafficking ring. What has followed is a family’s 13-year quest to bring their loved one home.You can see all of our sources, along with photos and videos related to this case on our blog.Sources: 'I Had No Clue,' Says Mom Whose Teen Vanished After Leading A Double Life Yelp: Sunset Motel Charley Project: Danica Dianne Childs Interview with Jennifer Tucker: 'My Feet Were Bloody' Interview with Jennifer Tucker: 'You're Just Stuck' Unshackled: A prostitute's journey to freedom Facebook: Help Find Danica Childs Namus: Missing Persons Case 5944 Human Trafficking: Federal Way Mom's Worst Nightmare Volunteers tackle human trafficking in Federal Way.

Kyron Horman Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

Ten years ago, 7-year-old Kyron Horman and his step-mother Terri Horman, attended a science fair at his Portland, Oregon elementary school. A photo Terri took shows Kyron beaming in front of his project about tree frogs. That would be the last photo ever taken of Kyron, who never made it to class that morning and hasn’t been seen since. In the intervening years, there have been accusations, arrests, and even a bizarre potential murder-for-hire plot, but no answers in Kyron’s disappearance; just a family who refuses to stop searching.Sources: Kyron Horman's blended family: Friends describe a close, supportive group Mystery 911 Call to Kyron Horman's Home Adds to Police Case Kyron Horman Missing: 7-Year-Old Disappeared from School Wikipedia: Disappearance of Kyron Horman Landscaper tells detectives Terri Moulton Horman offered him money to kill her husband Mystery Figure Emerging in Kyron Horman Case?

Daniel Yuen Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

When 16-year-old Edison, New Jersey teenager Daniel Yuen started staying out all night and stopped going to school, his parents tried everything to help him. When a series of medical doctors and therapists didn’t help with his depression or behavior issues, the parents turned to The CEDU School in Running Springs, California. Recommended by one of Daniel’s therapists, the exclusive therapeutic boarding school boasted huge promises, famous alums like Paris Hilton— and a hefty price tag: Nearly $6,000 per month. But far from being the Yuen family’s saving grace, they were introduced to The CEDU School’s dark underbelly when shortly after his arrival in 2004, their son became the third student to disappear without a trace from the campus.You can see all of our sources, along with photos and videos on our blog at AndThenTheyWereGone.com.

Elijah "Bear" Diaz Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

On August 29, 2015, Bear Diaz texted his mother goodnight and was never seen again. The 20-year-old man from El Cajon, California was a Type-1 diabetic and left with money and enough insulin for about a week. Family and friends hoped he was just taking some time away, but when he missed his tribe's annual pow-wow, his mother knew something was terribly wrong. Could Bear's disappearance be linked to the circle of friends and acquaintances that were constantly at his house, or could something even darker be at play? Could another disappearance be linked to Bear's?Sponsor:MansonFamily.netSources: Bring Bear Home Years Later, San Diego Man's 2015 Disappearance Still a Mystery Missing El Cajon Man's Disappearance ‘Suspicious': Private Investigator /Where is Elijah “Bear” Diaz? $10K Reward Posted in El Cajon Missing-Person Case Facebook: Help Find Elijah Bear Diaz Dissapeared: 20-Year-Old Bear Diaz, Vulnerable With Medical Condition, Vanishes In The Night Reddit: The Disappearances of Elijah “Bear” Diaz and Skylar Peterson Tosic True Crime Wednesday: The Disappearance of Bear Diaz Barona family pleads for answers in son’s disappearance Charley Project: Elijah Runningbear Diaz FUNDRAISER PLANNED OCT. 23 FOR SEARCH FOR MISSING EL CAJON MAN WITH DIABETES Missing Person Elijah Bear Diaz Barona Tribe History BARONA TRIBAL COUNCIL AND GAMING COMMISSION Mayo Clinic: Diabetic neuropathy https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/type-1-diabetes/symptoms-causes/syc-20353011 NamUs #MP30449 NCMEC Poster Disappeared: Elijah “Bear” Diaz Wikipedia: Santa YsabelSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/attwgpod)
