The Missing Found is an investigative true crime podcast that focuses on missing person cases in the Black community that are left unsolved and cold.Statistically, African Americans receive far less media coverage than our White counterparts. According to The Black and Missing Foundation, in 2021, African Americans make up only 13% of the United States population, but our missing person percentage sits at 37%. It’s impossible to report on every case of a missing person in the country, but the divide between us and other races are severely disproportionate when it comes to media coverage.To challenge this, we started The Missing Found podcast to bring light to cases deemed unsolved and cold to offer a renewed perspective with only the hard facts, breakdown every case detail, and the possibilities thereafter.We thank you for your viewership. We look forward to conducting comprehensive analyses into the unsolved missing person cases of those who look like us.

    39: 16, Pregnant & A Murder Witness…Then She Vanished | The Disappearance of Sandra Kay Powell

    On the cold day of Wednesday, March 11, 1987 in South Bend, Indiana, sixteen year old Sandra Powell was just four days away from her seventeenth birthday.  Just a year prior, in 1986, Sandra testified at a murder trial involving the shooting of one of her friends.  Sandra was also four months pregnant; and in the days leading up to her disappearance, she received some upsetting news from the father of her unborn child. It’s almost like Sandra was there one day then gone the next, without a trace and no explanation. When it comes to the murder trial she testified in, there were threats, as she wasn’t the only witness, but is that an explanation to this mystery? What do you think when you have so many possibilities, unanswered questions, and uncertainties? Even with a possible sighting on a nationally syndicated show.  It makes you question if Sandra left on her own for a good reason unknown or if someone had a hand in this. Sixteen, pregnant, and a key witness in a murder trial.  We’re going to learn who Sandra was before she went missing, the case details to understand where things started and left unknown, review the timeline of what we know, theories, and close with my opinion.  I N F O R M A T I O NSouth Bend Police Department 219–235–9201 C O N T A C TWEBSITE: www.themissingfound.com EMAIL: info@themissingfound.com ✉ PARTNERSHIP INQUIRES: partnership@themissingfound.com S H O PThe Journal I Needed is a guided daily journal created for reflection, healing, and intentional living - especially during seasons when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming.

    38: He Got in the Car with Mystery Person & Vanished |The Disappearance of Harold Clifton Cooper III

    On the warm Summer day of Sunday, August 19, 2001, twenty year old Harold Cooper III was in Bladensburg and at some point called his grandmother — who lived in Virginia — to let her know that he was going to visit her at her home. Harold never made it and seemingly vanished without a trace. He was said to have been seen getting inside of a four door 1992 Chevrolet Caprice with an acquaintance. This is where the case starts and ends, but it doesn’t have to. With the case having such little details and hardly any coverage, I want to analyze the little details that we know, question everything, look at some possibilities, and close with my opinion. This will probably be the most elaborate analysis done on Harold to date, but for some time now I’ve been wanting to cover it because he deserves answers. If we get no answers from this episode, the least he can get is renewed attention and to let his family know that we haven’t forgotten and we are still looking.

    Case Episode 37: A Mother Wanted One Night Out…She Never Came Home | The Disappearance of Marissa Carmichael

    On the late evening of Saturday, January 13, 2024, 25-year old Marissa Carmichael had left home for a night out at a club in Greensboro with a friend who was staying with her and her family. The pair was supposed to go to the club then see where the night led them. This night was supposed to give her a break. She was a mother of 5, someone was watching the children, so this night out was well-deserved. At some point, into the early morning of Sunday, January 14, Marissa and her friend ended up parting ways and she ended up with another acquaintance — a male acquaintance, and they ended up going to an Airbnb to attend a party, but they never entered the home. Somehow, plans shifted and she and the male acquaintance had left, went to a nearby gas station, and she was left stranded. Marissa contacted law enforcement at the gas station after her items were removed from this mystery persons vehicle and had no way home — she simply needed help, but there was no cause for emergency. Greensboro PD said they were on their way, and by time they arrived — she was gone. A phone call was made by Marissa later on into the morning, she was calling to get in contact with her friend for help, but then things went dark and quiet. A case as cold as this one deserves a fresh start, a new outlook, and answers.

    Case Episode 36: The Mysterious 5-Second Call at 1:58AM | The Disappearance of Dr. Cherryl Lamont Pearson

    In the late night of Friday, January 4 into Saturday, January 5, 2002, in Bartlett, Tennessee, 37 year old Cherryl Pearson was home spending time with friends. Just a few hours prior, on the Friday night before, Cherryl attended the Memphis Grizzlies basketball game at the Pyramid. Everything appeared okay on the surface because Cherryl had plans that early Saturday morning to babysit her sister’s children while she went to work, but that never happened. Cherryl’s sister arrived to her home and there was no answer — no sign of Cherryl. It was odd because Cherryl would not have missed it for anything. As a beloved pediatrician that served her community, known for her promptness and love for children, this seemed unlikely for her to not be present to watch the children. Things just went…quiet, but for reasons unknown. This immediately sparked concern. Cherryl had no known enemies, no issues within her community, but something somewhere in between felt odd, out of character for Cherryl. After concern drew stronger, it was discovered than an odd call came in that lasted only a few seconds…and this call could be the missing piece of thus puzzle or something far more sinister to this 24 year mystery. We’re going to discuss the case details surrounding her cold disappearance, understand the timeline, analyze every detail to understand who may be involved and what they would gain, and close with my opinion.

    Case Episode 35: Her Car Crashed on the Bay Bridge…But She Was Already Gone | The Disappearance of Toni Clark

    On the brisk, cool, late night-early morning of Friday, March 16, 1990, sometime around midnight, 17 year old Toni Clark had just left her cousin’s home in Oakland, California, after a short visit, and was headed home to San Bruno. On that evening, she was driving her boyfriend’s 1979 Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro was known to stall, and that’s exactly what it did as she was on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. While stalled on the bridge, another driver rear ended the Camaro with a heavy impact, which pushed the vehicle into the barricade. Police were called to the scene, and they arrived within 6 minutes of the report, but oddly, they only found the driver who rear ended the Camaro, but no sign of Toni — the driver of the Camaro — so we think. She just seemingly vanished. The other driver was there, but Toni wasn’t as if the car was either left abandoned or something occurred in that split second. Just a week later, Toni’s mother received a chilling call that opened the door for many more questions, possibilities and…uncertainty. After almost 40 years of unanswered questions, theories, the exact timeline of what occurred that evening, and what really happened, it makes you question if anyone had a hand in this or if it was just an unfortunate accident.

    Case Episode 34: The Murder of Shirley Lee Parker | The Mystery of the Lady in the Lake in Baltimore

    On Monday, June 2, 1969, an electrical crew was dispatched in Baltimore City to fix two lights that had burned out on the water fountain in Druid Hill Park, located in Baltimore. One of the electricians had to climb a ladder to access the top fountain when he made a shocking and gruesome discovery — a decomposed body that was faced down in two feet deep water, still dressed in clothing. The body had reached a significant amount of decomposition so it was unclear, at the moment, what happened and how this person ended up in the fountain — located 380 feet from shore. The body was identified to be of Shirley Lee Wigeon Parker, a 35 year old woman who was reported missing five weeks prior. Sadly, her search came to a haunting and devastating end. Though her body was found, there was an identity match, but what exactly happened, how she ended up there, and why, are all questions that are unfound — leaving the family of Shirley and the Baltimore area riddled with nearly 60 years of unanswered questions. We’re going to look at the who Shirley was, details of Shirley’s last moments on record, a recap of events from someone close to her and possibly the last to see her alive, possibilities of how this could have happened, and close with my opinion.

    Case Episode 33: The Disappearance of Mary Ann Johnson | The Failed Hit, the Warning, Then She Vanished

    On Wednesday, January 19, 1994, in Los Angeles, California, 54 year old Mary Ann Johnson left her job as an account representative at department store, Robinsons-May. No one knew this would be her last moment on record, not even Mary. It was supposed to be a typical day — you know, just another day…but something was different. Mary Ann was separated from her husband, and told her colleagues that she was supposed to be meeting up with him that day — that Wednesday or sometime during that week. That meeting never happened, according to Andrew. It was found out that some kind of warning was issued to her a month before. A warning that leaves us with even more questions and curiosity, and if it relates to what happened later. The location in which her belongings were found were odd — and there may be some messaging behind it. In fact, this entire case seems to be a message — a warning, or even an answer to that warning. For over three decades, Mary’s case was left cold and left us with many unanswered questions, mystery, and tragedy — with very slim details that not even the LAPD could piece together. We’re going to start with all of what we know about Mary and her life before she went missing, get into the case details, the facts, the warning, and close with my opinion. A case as cold as this one deserves a fresh start, a new outlook, and answers.

    Case Episode 32 | The Disappearance of Lester "LJ" Jones | The Last Call, the Last Stop, and the Lost Opportunity

    On the cold evening of Monday, January 11, 2010, in Starkville, Mississippi, 26 year old Lester “LJ” Jones, Jr. had set plans to visit his fraternity brothers in Jackson, Mississippi for a regular meet up. It was supposed to be a typical drive for Lester from Starkville to Jackson. He even stopped passed his mother’s home in Tupelo to visit his brother before his trip to Jackson. LJ had it all planned out, but something happened somewhere in between. We do know what was supposed to be a quick stop at a local Exxon (now Shell) gas station at the Sprint Mart in Flowood, only 15 minutes away from Jackson, turned to be the last known location of LJ on record. There is footage of him there, but somehow things go dark. Until, there was an odd discovery, a cell phone found in the men’s restroom. It was an oddity because the phone belonged to LJ, but he had already left the gas station and assumingly en route up the road to Jackson. After 15 years of questions, mystery, calls, and theories, it makes you question if someone had a hand in this, LJ decided to leave on his own volition, or something else like an accident. Since 2010, there has been no trace left of LJ or his 2002 Ford Expedition — both just vanished.
