  1. MISSING: Derek Ritz (Sebringville, Ontario)

    8月30日

    MISSING: Derek Ritz (Sebringville, Ontario)

    Derek Ritz, also known as Ritzy, disappeared at the age of 51. He was last seen at 3 a.m. on Dec. 31 at a home on Avonton Road in Sebringville, Ontario. The police investigation into Ritz's disappearance is ongoing, and no official conclusion has been reached. However, a private investigator from Please Bring Me Home, a Canadian organization, is actively working on the case. This investigator, who has been involved since the summer of 2020, believes they are close to uncovering the truth. The leading theory involves a small group of individuals who allegedly assaulted Ritz and disposed of his remains in various ways, making it difficult for the police to recover his body. Despite these theories and speculation, no charges have been laid. I spoke with Shelly Smith, a Stratford resident searching for Derek, about Derek's disappearance. I want to be clear: What Shelly and I discussed is speculative—at this time, no charges have been laid against any individuals. If you have any information about Derek's disappearance, your assistance is crucial. Please contact Please Bring Me Home at 226-702-2728 or visit the Justice for Ritzy Facebook Page for more information. Your involvement could be the key to solving this case.  --- DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the creator and do not necessarily reflect those of any of the guests on this show.

    MISSING: James Hunter (New South Wales, Australia) (Part 2)

    James Hunter, 54, has been missing in Central West New South Wales for four years. He was last seen in Dubbo in February 2020, and his blue 2005 Toyota Hilux was found in Mendooran in March 2022. His family, friends, and the police are appealing for any information about his disappearance. A company called Working Drones Australia has taken tens of thousands of images of an area where they think James may have gone missing. James' family and friends urgently need your help combining these high-resolution images for clues online. James' friends and family have also started a GoFundMe. Also, please consider signing a petition to request a parliamentary inquiry into missing persons. In part 2, I spoke with James' friends. You'll hear from Becky, followed by Ben and Jason. They all shared stories of how impressionable James is, how he can captivate people through his stories, and how fun he is to be around.   If you have any information, please contact Dubbo Police Station at 02 6883 1599 or Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000. --- Support the show on Patreon.

    MISSING: James Hunter (New South Wales, Australia) (Part 1)

    54-year-old James Hunter has been missing for four years, vanishing in the Central West of New South Wales. James is described as Caucasian, about 175cm tall, with brown hair and eyes and a medium build. James is the son of famous award-winning Australian actor Bill Hunter, who died in 2011. Bill has been in movies like Gallipoli, Murie's Wedding, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and Finding Nemo. James was last seen at a pharmacy in Dubbo in February 2020 and has not accessed his bank accounts since then. His blue 2005 Toyota Hilux was found on a property in Mendooran in March 2022, adding to the mystery of his disappearance. Despite extensive investigations and searches, he has yet to be located. He was in the area for work, mining for opals on Lightning Ridge. A company called Working Drones Australia has taken tens of thousands of images of an area where they think James may have gone missing. James' family and friends urgently need your help combining these high-resolution images for clues online. James' friends and family have also started a GoFundMe. Also, please consider signing a petition to request a parliamentary inquiry into missing persons. In part 1, I spoke with Maree and Chloe. Maree is James' ex-partner, and Chloe is Maree's daughter. I also spoke to Daniel Wood, the Chief Remote Working Pilot at Working Drones Australia, who is helping in the search for James.   It is crucial that anyone with relevant information comes forward immediately. Your information could be the key to finding James, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.

  4. MISSING: Camille Dotson (Las Vegas, Nevada) (Part 2)

    7月23日

    MISSING: Camille Dotson (Las Vegas, Nevada) (Part 2)

    On this week's show, I attempt to shed some further light on the case of Camille Dotson, a woman who disappeared in Las Vegas in September of 1994. Camille was 30 years old at the time of her disappearance and is described as a white woman with hazel/brown eyes and brown hair, which she sometimes lightened. She stood at 5'7" and had a tattoo on her hip that reads "Cruz." Camille weighed between 125-145lbs with an athletic build. She had a recently broken nose and slightly discoloured teeth, and she was known to smoke Marlboro cigarettes. Additionally, she may have used the first names Nicole, Renee, or Kim and the last names Clarke or Diaz. On September 3rd, 1994, Camille was last seen walking on the 300 block of South Casino Blvd in Las Vegas after leaving the Clark County Detention Center on foot. This was the last confirmed sighting of her. Camille moved to Las Vegas as a single mom to escape an abusive marriage. She faced trauma, financial struggles, and difficult circumstances that led her to engage in survival sex work. At her lowest point, she battled homelessness and addiction. For this second part, I spoke to Gaby, a dedicated investigator who has spent years tirelessly researching and investigating Camille’s disappearance. Her expertise and commitment to this case have been invaluable, and it has even led to the police changing their file on Camille. Please visit the Facebook page and website for the latest updates on Camille's case. Ashley and her team are still searching for anyone who knew her during her time in Vegas (1991-1994). If you recognize her, please get in touch with them through the website or Facebook page. Remember, even the most minor details about her and her life could be the key to finding her. If you have any information about the disappearance of Camille Dotson, please call the Las Vegas Metro Police Department at (702) 828-3111. --- Support the show on Patreon.

On that day, Jennifer's father, Michael Wix, spoke with Jennifer on the phone, making him the last relative to have contact with her. Joey Benton, Jennifer's boyfriend at the time, and his parents, Joe and Cindy Benton, are allegedly the last known individuals to have seen Jennifer and Adrianna. In this second part, the interview with Casey continues from where it left off in part 1. Casey discusses how her family became worried after not hearing from Jennifer and began suspecting something was wrong. In part 2, she talks about the panic that ensued when it became clear that something had happened to her sister and niece. She also shares details about their last known whereabouts and movements. There is a $25,000 reward for information in the case. Call the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 615-384-7981 if you know anything.

Joey Benton, Jennifer's boyfriend at the time, and his parents, Joe and Cindy Benton, are allegedly the last known individuals to have seen Jennifer and Adrianna. Since March 2004, there have been no confirmed sightings of Jennifer and Adrianna since they were last seen at the Benton residence. This has been a heart-wrenching journey for Jennifer's family, who have been tirelessly searching for answers. Over the years, many people have come forward with information that has led Jennifer's family to believe that foul play was involved. The behaviour of the last people to have seen Jennifer and Adrianna also raises suspicions. Casey, Jennifer's sister, has pieced together in great detail all of the relevant information surrounding her sister and niece's disappearance, a task that has taken a toll on her emotionally. There is a $25,000 reward for information in the case. Call the Robertson County Sheriff's Department at 615-384-7981 if you know anything.

    MISSING: Katherine Berry (Muskogee, Oklahoma)

    This week, I have a baffling case for you. The last time Natalie saw her sister, Katherine Berry, was when she was only a few months old. When Natalie became a teenager, she was told that Katherine was missing, and her heart was shattered.  Natalie has dedicated many years to searching, praying, and thinking about Katherine. In December 2022, she discovered that a missing person's report was not on file for her. Undeterred, she gathered as much basic information as possible, drove to the Muskogee police station, and filed the missing person's report for her (Case#: 2023-10570, Namus: MP103987). Pinning down the exact date and circumstances surrounding Katherine's disappearance is tricky. Natalie thinks her sister Katherine went missing sometime around February of 1987 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Katherine would have been a senior in high school and had just turned 18 years old. Natalie has spent the last year gathering more information about Katherine, sifting through rumours and facts, and speaking to whoever would speak to her. Natalie and her mother also contributed their DNA to a database to compare the DNA of unidentified remains across the country, but there has yet to be a match.  If you have any information that might be helpful, contact Natalie through the "Where is Katherine Berry Facebook Page" or call the Muskogee Police Department at 918-683-8000. --- Support the show on Patreon Support the show on Buy Me a Coffee --- DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the creator and do not necessarily reflect those of any of the guests on this show.
