    MISSING: Kadin Black

    MISSING: Kadin Black

    On December 20, 2022, Kadin Black, a beloved 19-year-old son and brother, was reported missing in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. His family hadn’t heard from him for three days, and he had failed to show up at his dad’s house for a pre-planned get-together, which was out of character. The police immediately launched an investigation into Kadin’s disappearance, but there was no sign of him anywhere. It’s been just over 16 months since Kadin went missing, and investigators are still searching for him…

    19-year-old Kadin Black last contacted his family on December 17, 2022. His phone connected to the WiFi at the Foust home on Vickilee Drive in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, at around 9:30 am on the 18th. At that time, his phone also pinged in the same vicinity. After 9:30, his phone was either turned off or died. No sign of Kadin has been found since then.

    Kadin is a light skinned Black male with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is 5’10”, 160 pounds, and has an athletic build. It’s unclear what he was last wearing.

    A Facebook page named "Find Kadin Black" has been created for people to learn additional information and keep Kadin’s name circulating.

    Anyone with information should contact the Lower Windsor Township Police Department at 1-717-244-8055.

When police checked the surveillance footage, they learned that Missy had been viciously attacked by someone wearing tactical gear, and carrying a hammer.

Really good!

I easily listen to 30+ True Crime and news podcasts while working (I work alone in a workshop 40+ hours a week). Some of those are comedy-true crime, but I much prefer the more serious, factual pods that stay on topic and handle the topics and victims in a respectful manner.

I came across Crime Weekly a few months ago and added it to my rotation. Something was mentioned in that podcast about Detective Perspective and I checked it out.

I really like Derrick’s comprehensive coverage, his knowledge based on his experience, and his thoughtful (and respectful) perspective. I also appreciate that Derrick knows where his expertise lies and where it doesn’t; bringing up testimonies and statements of psychologists, forensic experts, etc. to qualify his conclusions and perspective.

This is quickly becoming one of my top five.
