Show notes

Lauren Spierer went out with friends and was never seen again. She was seen on surveillance cameras without shoes or her belongings, but it didn't provide any insight as to where she might be. Her friends who were with her that night came under suspicion, but their stories never changed, and police said they don't think they were involved.

220: Missing: Cleo Smith Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

This week, we needed a little bit of hope so while this story does involve someone who went missing, there is a resolution. Four-year-old Cleo Smith was camping with her family for the weekend. Her mother woke up one morning to find that Cleo was not in the tent, nor was she outside. At first, the hope was that she had simply wandered off, but the tent zipper being left unzipped way higher than Cleo could have reached cast doubt onto that.

219: Missing: Daisy Mae Heath Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Daisy Mae Heath disappeared from the Yakima Reservation in White Swan, WA. Daisy was no stranger to the woods as she often spent time hiking, camping, hunting, and visiting other reservations. This is why her family didn't immediately panic when she didn't return home. But soon, it was clear that something was wrong. This case, with zero suspects, is one of many stories of missing and murdered indigenous women across the United States.
