Enrique Rios, Elijah Moore and Oscar Alcaraz Part 2 Feb 12, 2017

Show notes

What is happening in Yolo County, California? Back in November, we covered the disappearances of Enrique Rios and Elijah Moore. In this episode, you will hear new information about both cases along with information about the the disappearance of Oscar Alcaraz. Enrique has been missing since October 17, 2016, Elijah vanished a few weeks later on November 4th and Oscar disappeared on January 6, 2017. What do they have in common? They were all attending the Northern California Construction Training Program at the Yolo County Fairgrounds. I strongly suggest listening to Episode 54 "Enrique Rios and Elijah Moore" before listening to this. If you have any information about Enrique or Elijah, please contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov. If you have information about Oscar, please call 530-554-8983 or email whereisoscar2017@gmail.com.

It was Labor Day Weekend 2014 when 24-year-old Desmond Moore left home to meet some friends at a local Pizza Hut in Gautier, Mississippi. Desmond never made it to the Pizza Hut and was never seen again.

Typhenie Johnson and Taalibah Islam Jan 28, 2017

Show notes

25-year-old Typhenie Johnson vanished from Fort Worth, Texas in October of 2016. Another missing woman's family saw the story on the news and noticed a connection between the two cases. 20-year-old Taalibah Islam has been missing from the same area since January of 2006. Taalibah's case had been cold for over a decade but now the heat is on one suspect, Christopher Revill.

UPDATE: In August 2019, Christopher Revill was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of kidnapping Typhenie Johnson.

In July 2023, the Fort Worth Police Department announced that human remains that were recovered on March 2, 2023, were identified as Taalibah Islam.

Aaron Watkins Jan 22, 2017

Show notes

Aaron Watkins was just 18 years-old when he vanished from New Jersey on November 11, 2007. Aaron had a tough childhood going from a home with his mother and siblings into foster care and eventually being adopted by a very strict, religious family. Before he disappeared, he was struggling to figure out where he fit in this world and who he belonged with. On November 11, 2007, he made a series of phone calls to those close to him and then the Jeep he was driving was found abandoned on the Driscoll Bridge. What happened to Aaron? Did he jump that day? Did take off and start over somewhere else? Did someone make his disappearance look like a suicide?

Jennifer and Adrianna Wix Jan 14, 2017

Show notes

21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna, have been missing for almost 13 years. Before they vanished, they had been living in rural Robertson County, Tennessee with Jennifer's boyfriend, Joey Benton, and his family. Joey was the last known person to see Jennifer and Adrianna. Their case has been reclassified as a homicide case but no one has ever been charged. Jennifer's mom, Kathy, spoke with me about the details surrounding their disappearance and also what it is like to have both a daughter and granddaughter go missing.

Rachel Cooke Jan 06, 2017

Show notes

Rachel was just 19 when she vanished while jogging in her quiet neighborhood in Georgetown, Texas. Fifteen years later, her disappearance is still a mystery. Many people witnessed Rachel running that morning but no one witnessed what happened to her. Was she abducted by a stranger or did someone she know have a motive to harm her? There will be a memorial run for Rachel this weekend.

Kelsie Schelling Dec 30, 2016

Show notes

Kelsie Schelling has been missing since February of 2013. She had recently found out that she was expecting and while she was excited to become a mom, the father of her child, Donthe Lucas, was not so thrilled. She texted an ultrasound picture to Donthe shortly before she vanished. Upon seeing the photo, he encouraged her to travel from Denver down to Pueblo to visit him. Supposedly, he had a surprise that he wanted to show her. Kelsie made the trip to Pueblo but she never made it home. She left behind a trail of text messages and her car was seen on multiple surveillance videos in the Pueblo area. Where is Kelsie and why has no one been prosecuted?

December 2017 Update: Donthe Lucas has been charged with Kelsie's murder. Read more here: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/donthe-lucas-charged-with-first-degree-murder-in-kelsie-schelling-disappearance

March 2021 Update: On March 8, 2021, Donthe Lucas was found guilty of first degree murder.

Casey Morgan Dec 20, 2016

Show notes

On August 7, 1997 Casey told his father and a co-worker that he had been threatened by some loggers. Casey and his father set-up a meeting for the following weekend to discuss what was going on. He left his shift at the Waffle House at 4:30am on the 8th and was last seen later that morning at a gas station in Marshall, Texas. His Isuzu truck was later found abandoned with bullets scattered all over the floor. Was Casey being scammed and finally caught on? Who would have had the motive to harm Casey?
