Vanished Cases — true crime stories for listeners who can't let go of a case. A true crime podcast by OBOMEDIA, built on real events. Open the crime files with us. Each episode follows the crime investigation from the first call to the trial — how investigators build a murder case, where a police investigation goes cold, and what justice looks like when it arrives late, or never arrives at all. Some episodes hunt a serial killer who hid in plain sight. Others reconstruct a family murder that tore a town apart, or a murder mystery that turned neighbors against each other. And then there are the missing: a missing person report filed too late; missing persons whose trails went cold within days; a missing woman last seen leaving work; a missing girl whose face was on every screen in the country; a missing man found dead years after he vanished; the missing and murdered whose names deserve to be remembered. We tell every crime story with respect for the victim, for the families, and for those who survived. From the infamous case the whole world watched to the unsolved case you have never heard of, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime, our true crime reports bring you real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries — one true crime case at a time, straight from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault. Because if a killer is still out there, the story is not over. Every true crime story in our archive begins with a question no one could answer: an unsolved murder, a cold case reopened decades later, a mysterious death the coroner couldn't explain, a disappearance that never made sense. New episodes every week. Listen ad-free and unlock premium episodes: 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology. All rights reserved.

    A Three-Year-Old Said Mom Was Upstairs. No One Checked.

    A Three-Year-Old Said Mom Was Upstairs. No One Checked. A three-year-old girl pointed upstairs and said her mother was there. The adults dismissed her, but she was telling the truth about a building where at least ten murders and systematic cannibalism would later be uncovered. What horror did this child witness? In this episode, we delve into the chilling cases of Arlette Samantha Holguín Hernández, Evelyn Rojas Matus, and Nancy Noemí Huitrón Solorio, three single mothers lured to the same address under mundane pretenses.

    The Nine-Year-Old Who Buried a Girl Under a House A three-year-old girl vanished from a Buenos Aires street in 1906.

    The Night Johnny Gosch Came Home. Twelve-year-old Johnny Gosch vanished during his paper route in 1982, leaving behind his loaded cart and a chilling warning to a friend: "The man in the blue car is acting strange." Decades later, with no body or arrest, the most unsettling detail isn't his disappearance, but the night his mother claims he returned. What really happened to Johnny Gosch? In this episode, we delve into the baffling disappearance of Johnny Gosch, the critical lost hours of the initial investigation, and the striking similarities to another missing paperboy case. We explore the eyewitness accounts that painted a clear picture of the abductor's vehicle and the institutional failures that would eventually change American law.

    The Deacon Who Hid 10 Bodies in Plain Sight

    The Deacon Who Hid 10 Bodies in Plain Sight On January 15, 1974, Charlie Otero came home from school to find his entire family dead in a house that looked completely ordinary from the outside. For 31 years, the man who killed them went to church, coached scouts, and shook hands with his neighbors in Wichita, Kansas, all while calling himself BTK. How did one man hide in plain sight for three decades, and what ultimately led to his downfall? In this episode, we delve into the methodical planning and chilling adaptability of the BTK killer, Dennis Rader, who meticulously studied his victims' routines and even their names. We explore the shocking contradiction between his public life as a husband, father, and churchgoer, and his secret identity as a serial killer whose own need for recognition ultimately destroyed him. Case: Otero Family Murders Date: January 15, 1974 Location: Wichita, Kansas Perpetrator: Dennis Rader Method: Asphyxiation and strangulation - Four members of the Otero family were killed: Joseph, his wife Julie, their daughter, and their youngest son. - Charlie Otero, the oldest son, discovered his family upon returning home from school. - Dennis Rader had been watching the Otero family for some time, studying their routines and collecting their names from mailboxes. - Rader cut the telephone line before entering the Otero home through the back. - In October 1974, a letter describing the Otero murders in precise detail was found in a public library, introducing the name BTK.

    The Head Without a Body: Nobody Missed Him.

    The Head Without a Body: Nobody Missed Him. On a May night in 1955, screams echoed through a remote corner of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, then fell silent. What followed was a murder without a confirmed victim, a severed head, and a partial denture that no one on the island could identify. How could a man be brutally killed, and yet, no one report him missing? In this episode, we delve into the baffling case of La Presa del Pintor, where investigators began with objects-a beret, sunglasses, and a unique denture-rather than a name. We explore the shadowy world of illegal emigration in 1950s Spain and the men who exploited it, revealing why some lives could vanish without a trace and why certain questions were better left unasked. Case: La Presa del Pintor Date: May 4, 1955 Location: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Siete Puertas Evidence: Severed head, partial denture, beret, sunglasses, cufflink Suspect: Juan Padrón Sánchez - Neighbors heard screams for help but did not intervene due to the darkness and isolation. - The victim was a middle-aged or older male, a user of false teeth, whose body was never found. - No dentist on the island could identify the partial denture found with the head. - No missing persons report was filed for the victim before or after the discovery. - Juan Padrón Sánchez, a man with a record of theft and fraud, was seen spending large sums of money and washing a suit shortly after the killing.
