The Tragic Disappearance Of LeeAnna Warner
When 5-year-old LeeAnna Warner arrived home from a day out with her family, the first thing she wanted to do was visit her best friend and tell her all about her day. Her mother, Kaelin, tried to convince her to come inside and take a nap, but LeeAnna was persistent. She pleaded to be allowed to go down the street to her friend’s house, and Kaelin relented. She told her daughter to be home by 5:00 pm and watched as she skipped off down the street. It was 4:30 pm on Saturday, June 14, 2003, and it was the last time Kaelin would see her daughter.

The Bizarre Disappearance Of Patricia Meehan
Patricia Meehan — known as Patty to her family and friends — hadn’t been acting like herself during April 1989. It’s unclear if something specific was bothering Patty, but those who saw her around that time described her behavior as odd; she seemed to be more hyper than usual and slightly disoriented. Patty herself had been concerned enough about her mental state that she made an appointment to see a psychologist on April 21, 1989; she wasn’t sure exactly what was wrong with her but realized that she needed to speak to a professional.

The Murder of Candace Hiltz
The girl Candace Hiltz had been genuinely remarkable. Candace was an intelligent child who had already finished three years of college by the time she was sixteen! She had always hoped to serve as a justice of the Supreme Court, and there's little doubt that she would have been successful if given the opportunity. Candace had been taking time off from college at the time of her murder in order to devote all of her attention to her infant daughter Paige, who had hydrocephaly. There was no way of knowing how long the infant would live, and Candace wanted to spend as much time as possible with her daughter. The teenager, young Candace, is recalled as being feisty, strong-willed, and anything but a pushover; this is likely what killed her.
