The Zaharias Children

Episode 102 The Zaharias Children On November 20, 1987, 15 month old Lisa Mae and her brother, 3 year old Christopher Zaharias were abducted by their mother, Susan Gammill from their home in Mission Viejo, California. According to the children's father Louis, his wife Susan was struggling with post partum depression and drug dependency at the time of the abduction. She wiped out the couple's savings and wrote a series of bad checks before leaving with Lisa Mae and Christopher. Louis immediately filed a police report but it seems that Susan had help from her family taking the children away from Louis, making it difficult for police to help. Over the years, Susan and the children have been tracked to different states, and according to Louis, they continue to be aided by Susan's relatives in avoiding capture. Louis enlisted the help of a dedicated private investigator to help locate his children, but Susan and the people who are helping her always seem to be a step ahead. It's now been just about 37 years since Louis Zaharias has seen his children resulting in what is currently the longest ongoing parental abduction. Louis is desperate to be reunited with his children. In this episode, he discusses his endless search for his kids, and the physical, emotional, and financial struggles he has faced.

Rebekah Barsotti Case Update

Episode 101 Rebekah Barsotti Case Update We originally covered the case of 33 year old Rebekah Barsotti back in episode 46 of Missing Persons. Rebekah, along with her dog Cerberus, disappeared in the area of Clark Fork River near Alberton, Montana in July, 2021. She had been going through a divorce, and her family believed that she may have been the victim of foul play. When Cerberus's remains were found days later 10 miles downstream, but Rebekah's were not, it only fueled concerns that Rebekah wasn't an accidental drowning victim; despite that being the theory of the police investigating the case. Finally on May 17, 2022, fisherman discovered Rebekah's remains on the bank of the Clark Fork River, almost a year after Rebekah went missing. In the minds of Rebekah's family, the discovery only served to re-ask old questions, and it brought a host of new ones. Police consider the case closed, but Rebekah's family believe that there is more than meets the eye. In this episode, we update listeners on the case, and try to figure out; what happened to Rebekah Barsotti.

Jonnie had fled her home with few belongings, alongside Bethany hoping that they could get away from Larry. Eventually, Larry caught up with them, and a protection order was put in place. Since Larry had never abused Bethany, he had visitation rights, and Bethany would spend weekends with him. But on just the second visit with her father, Bethany vanished. On Sunday, March 4th, 2001, Larry was supposed to drop off Bethany after their visit. According to Larry, he stopped at the Old Hickory shopping mall in Jackson, TN so that Bethany could go inside and pick up a few things. Larry claims that after not returning for a period of time, he went into the mall to find his daughter, but he never did. Witnesses backed up Larry's story that he was in the mall that day, but none of those witnesses saw Bethany, and she hasn't been seen since. Since she vanished, Larry has reportedly failed polygraph tests, and has stopped cooperating with police. He has never been charged in the case and denies any involvement in his daughter's disappearance. In this episode, Bethany's mom Jonnie discusses her daughter's disappearance as well as possible sightings of Bethany.

In the driveway was her car which had broken down, and a car that she had borrowed until she could get hers fixed. When Lisa's mom arrived at the house and used a key to get in, there was no sign of Lisa. There was a pot of tea undisturbed on the stove, and there was no sign of a struggle. It appeared that Lisa had just stepped out and planned to return, but she never did. Police tracked her movements that day and determined that she when missing sometime between 11am, and when her son got off the bus that afternoon. A look back into Lisa's life found troubled relationships and a possible history of abuse.

There were rumors that the father may have wanted Lisa to get an abortion, and unverified reports that he disposed of a new truck that he had soon after Lisa went missing; a truck that rumor has it, may have displayed signs of blood after Luminol was used on it. No charged have ever been brought in Lisa's case, and she remains missing to this day. Krystina discussed her mom's puzzling case, and the personal toll the disappearance has taken on her.

Good podcast

I like the stories, they are well researched and interesting. The interview portion is a little dicey IMO, some are better than others but just seems difficult to get a real dialogue going with the subject of the interviews in sine cases and seems kind of forced. Good overall though

Unfortunately it was difficult to listen to sister of missing. Seemed like the sister was busy doing something else, talking to someone else, maybe texting while person is trying to interview her. Felt sorry for the interviewer trying to do an informative podcast.
