On December 15th, 2022, Madalina Cojocari, a beloved 11-year-old, was reported missing in Cornelius, North Carolina. Her mother, Diana Cojocari, initially told the police that she last saw her daughter on the night of November 23rd. However, investigators soon discovered that nobody outside the family had seen Madalina after November 21st.
This discrepancy raised suspicions, especially as it became apparent that Diana, along with her husband, Christopher Palmiter, were withholding crucial information, impeding the progress of the investigation.

Now, a year and a half later, Madalina remains missing, and investigators are still searching for her…

The last official sighting of Madalina Cojocari was on November 21, 2022, when she was seen getting off the school bus near her house, located at 18413 Victoria Bay Drive in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Madalina is white, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed 90 pounds and stood at 4’10”. She was last seen wearing jeans, pink, purple and white Adidas shoes, and a white t-shirt and jacket.

If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of Madalina Cojocari, please contact the Cornelius Police Department at (704) 892-7773. You can also contact your local FBI office or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

On November 8, 1988, Brandy Hutchins, a 14-year-old beloved daughter, told her friends and family that she was pregnant with her boyfriend’s child. Tragically, just four days later, she was discovered murdered in the root cellar of an abandoned house in Coal Hill, Arkansas.

During the police investigation at the house, they found a piece of paper with a positive pregnancy test result next to Brandy's body. However, when Brandy's autopsy results came back, they revealed she was not pregnant and had never been.

It turned out that Brandy had not been honest about her pregnancy. After learning this, the police suspected that the fake positive pregnancy test might have played a role in her death. They focused their attention on two suspects, including Brandy's boyfriend, but unfortunately, they never found enough evidence to make an arrest.

It's been more than 35 years since Brandy was killed, and investigators are still searching for answers…

On November 10, 1988, 14-year-old Brandy Hutchins was dropped off at the “Old John Emery” house on Whippoorwill Road in Coal Hill, Arkansas. Two days later, she was found dead in the root cellar. She’d been shot with a .22 caliber.  

Anyone with information is asked to call the Johnson County Sheriff’s Crime Tips hotline at 479-705-8477. 

A childhood friend of Brandy's is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Brandy's murderer.

On the morning of May 6, 2014, Russell Dermond, an 88-year-old beloved father and husband, was found dead in the garage of his home on Lake Oconee in Georgia. He had been brutally murdered, and his head was removed. Russell’s wife of 62 years, Shirley, was nowhere to be found. An intense search for her began, and on May 16, she was found in the lake. Shirley had also been murdered, and her body was weighed down with concrete blocks.

Despite a thorough investigation, the police have yet to identify a motive or suspect for this heinous crime. It’s been just over 10 years since Russell and Shirley were killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…

Russell and Shirley Dermond were killed sometime between 4:30 P.M. on May 2, 2014 and 4:00 P.M. on May 3. They were possibly killed at their home on Carolyn Drive in Reynolds Plantation, a gated community located right off Lake Oconee in Georgia. 

Russell was discovered in the garage, likely shot in the head and then decapitated. Shirley suffered blows to the head, possibly from a hammer. Her body was then weighed down with two 30-pound red concrete blocks, enclosed in a blue mesh bag, and submerged in the lake.

If you have any information in this case, please call the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 706-485-8557. There is a $25,000 reward available.

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.
