    Ep 39: Child Hot Car Deaths: The Pattern Behind These Tragedies — And How to Prevent Them

    Since 1998, more than 1,000 children in the United States have died in hot cars, and most of these tragedies follow just a few repeating patterns. In today’s episode, we look at the three most common circumstances behind child hot car deaths:  • Children forgotten by caregivers  • Children intentionally left in vehicles  • Children who gained access to vehicles on their own Through the stories of Sofia Aviero, Ke’torrius “KJ” Starkes Jr., Sydney Stanley, Kameron Jamel Williams, Amillio Gutierrez, and Parker Scholtes, we’ll look at what happened, what experts say may contribute to these tragedies, and most importantly, practical prevention strategies that could help save lives. This episode is different from my usual content, but with temperatures rising, I felt this was an important story to tell. 🚨Update: When I recorded this episode, there had been 2 reported child hot car deaths in the US in 2026. While editing, that number increased to 3. As of publishing, there have now been 4 reported deaths this year. Please consider sharing this episode. Awareness matters — and one conversation could make a difference. 📌Resources: https://no-heat-stroke.squarespace.com/  https://www.kidsandcars.org/ https://bagintheback.org/ Thank you for being here, and for caring about the stories that matter.💜 Please rate, leave a review, and share this episode to help keep these stories like these in the public eye. –- 🔔 Follow for more victim-centered true crime cases. 🎙️ Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more. ☕ If you’d like to support the podcast, you can do so here: https://buymeacoffee.com/theirvoicematters.

    Ep 38: Found in 1979. Identified 40 Years Later: The Kerry Graham & Francine Trimble Case

    Two teenage girls vanished from a small Northern California town in 1978. Seven months later, their remains were found just 90 miles away, but no one realized who they were. Because investigators believed they were searching for a teenage boy and girl, Kerry Graham and Francine Trimble would remain unidentified for nearly 40 years. This is their story. In this episode, we walk through the timeline of their disappearance, the early investigation, and the forensic conclusions that shaped the case for decades. We also explore how advancements in technology eventually led to their identification, and the questions that still remain today. If you have any information about what happened to Kerry Graham and Francine Trimble, please contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office: 📞 (707) 234-2100 Even small details could help move this case forward.

    Ep 37: Anna Kepner Case Update: Indicted as an Adult in Federal Court

    A major legal development has occurred in the case of Anna Kepner, the 18-year-old who died during a family cruise in November 2025. In this update, I walk through the newly announced federal indictment, what it means that the case has been transferred to adult prosecution, and what we know so far about how the case will move forward. I also explain the earlier sealed proceedings and how this new development fits into the timeline of the investigation. Because this case involves a minor and previously sealed court records, many details have only recently become public. This episode focuses on confirmed information from official statements and court filings, without speculation. If you’re new to this case, I recommend checking out my full episode covering the timeline of what happened on the cruise, as well as my previous update on the initial court proceedings. Those are both available now. I will be watching out for updates on this case, so be sure to follow so you don’t miss anything.

    Ep 36: Jonathan Hoang Never Leaves Without Permission — Until That Night

    21-year-old Jonathan Hoang disappeared from his home in Arlington, Washington on March 30, 2025. Jonathan is on the autism spectrum and developmentally functions closer to an 8-9 year old child. His family says he follows strict routines, asks permission before doing even small things, and had never left home without telling anyone. But sometime between that evening and the next morning, Jonathan left his home without his jacket, without his phone, and without telling his family. Three months later, surveillance footage surfaced 40 miles away in Kirkland, Washington showing someone who appears to be Jonathan, walking alone late at night and looking lost. His family is still searching for answers. They believe someone knows what happened. If you have any information that could help locate Jonathan, please contact Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound. 📞 Crime Stoppers Tip Line: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) 📱 P3 Tips App There is currently a $100,000 reward for information that leads to finding Jonathan.

    Ep. 35: New Court Developments in the Death of Anna Kepner

    New court developments have emerged in the case of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who died during a family cruise in November 2025. In this update, I walk through what has been publicly reported about a recent sealed federal court appearance involving Anna’s stepbrother, what is known and not yet known about the legal process due to the defendant’s age, and how juvenile and potential adult charges typically work in the federal system. I also discuss reported custody court information and conflicting family accounts about how close the two were. Because this case involves a minor and sealed proceedings, many details have not been made public. This episode focuses only on confirmed reporting and clearly identified court filings, without speculation. If you’re new to this case, I recommend listening to my original full episode on Anna Kepner first, which covers the cruise timeline and investigation in detail. It’s available now.

    Ep 34: Three Women Vanished Overnight — And No One Knows How (The Springfield Three)

    On the morning of June 7, 1992, three women vanished from a home in Springfield, Missouri without signs of forced entry, without a struggle, and without any clear explanation. Sherrill Levitt, her daughter Suzie Streeter, and Suzie’s friend Stacy McCall were last known to be inside the house just hours earlier. More than 30 years later, the case remains unsolved. While many theories exist, no one has ever been charged in connection with the disappearance of Sherrill, Suzie, or Stacy - The Springfield Three. In this episode, we take a careful, in-depth look at what happened before and after that night including the timeline, early investigation, witness reports, known persons of interest, and the theories that have shaped the case over the decades. We also examine where the investigation stands today, and why this case continues to raise more questions than answers. 🚨If you have information about the disappearance of The Springfield Three, please contact: 📞 Springfield Police Department: 417-864-1810 📞 Crime Stoppers of Springfield: 417-869-TIPS 💻 SPD Online tip submission: https://www.springfieldmo.gov/2498/Three-Missing-Women Stacy’s family have set up a GoFundMe to increase the reward for information about the disappearance.

    Ep. 32: She Was Found Under the Bed on a Family Cruise: The Death of Anna Kepner

    18-year-old Anna Kepner boarded the Carnival Horizon with her family for a Caribbean cruise. It was supposed to be a week of fun, memories, and time together. But on the morning of November 7th, an unexpected announcement went out over the ship’s PA system… a crew member made a tragic discovery in the cabin Anna shared with her stepbrother. In today’s episode, we walk through who Anna was, the timeline of events on November 6th and 7th, the details currently known about the investigation, and the autopsy findings that ruled her death a homicide. This is an ongoing FBI case, and no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly named.  I will be watching out for updates on this case, so be sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss anything.
