Where is Mark Himebaugh? New Jersey boy vanishes, anniversary looms Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

This week on True Crime Daily The Podcast: Mark Himebaugh was 11 years old when he was last seen near his home in Del Haven, New Jersey, on November 25, 1991. At first, his disappearance was treated as a missing-child case, a boy who went to look at a nearby marsh fire and may have wandered off. But as the hours and days passed, something more nefarious was feared.

A child's sneaker was found near Himebaugh's home during the intensive searches for the freckled, red-headed little boy.

Sketches of "persons of interest" were released to the public. But 30 years later, Mark remains missing.

Ana Garcia covered the case as a young reporter and interviewed Mark's mother Maureen.

In this episode, Ana and private investigator Luis Bolaños sit down with Maureen Himebaugh and retired Middle Township Police Officer Richard McHale. And Cape May County Detective Marshall Cradock gives an update on the current status of the case.
