Toni Sharpless
In 2009, Toni Sharpless was a young mother with a demanding job working as a nurse in Lancaster General Hospital ‘s infectious disease unit. Though she had experienced ups and downs in her life over the years, she was in a good place and looking toward the future. So when an old friend invited her out to let loose and go dancing in nearby Philadelphia, Toni accepted. But their girls night out ended in tragedy after Toni drove away and was never seen again. Did something happen to her at professional basketball player Willie Green’s house, where they were having an after party? Did her friend know more than she was letting on? Could a mysterious letter hold the key to this mystery?

Kyron Horman
Ten years ago, 7-year-old Kyron Horman and his step-mother Terri Horman, attended a science fair at his Portland, Oregon elementary school. A photo Terri took shows Kyron beaming in front of his project about tree frogs. That would be the last photo ever taken of Kyron , who never made it to class that morning and hasn’t been seen since. In the intervening years, there have been accusations, arrests, and even a bizarre potential murder-for-hire plot, but no answers in Kyron’s disappearance; just a family who refuses to stop searching.

Daniel Yuen
When 16-year-old Edison, New Jersey teenager Daniel Yuen started staying out all night and stopped going to school, his parents tried everything to help him. When a series of medical doctors and therapists didn’t help with his depression or behavior issues, the parents turned to The CEDU School in Running Springs, California. Recommended by one of Daniel’s therapists, the exclusive therapeutic boarding school boasted huge promises, famous alums like Paris Hilton— and a hefty price tag: Nearly $6,000 per month. But far from being the Yuen family’s saving grace, they were introduced to The CEDU School’s dark underbelly when shortly after his arrival in 2004, their son became the third student to disappear without a trace from the campus.

Elijah “Bear” Diaz
On August 29, 2015, Bear Diaz texted his mother goodnight and was never seen again. The 20-year-old man from El Cajon, California was a Type-1 diabetic and left with money and enough insulin for about a week. Family and friends hoped he was just taking some time away, but when he missed his tribe's annual pow-wow, his mother knew something was terribly wrong. Could Bear's disappearance be linked to the circle of friends and acquaintances that were constantly at his house, or could something even darker be at play? Could another disappearance be linked to Bear's?

Cherrie Mahan
In 1985, a bright, spunky 8-year-old girl got off the bus in Butler County, Pennsylvania. She chatted with her friends until they all went their separate ways. Cherrie Mahan only had to walk around the corner and go up her 150-foot driveway to make it home where her parents were waiting for her. But Cherrie didn’t make it home that day, and 35 years later, Cherrie’s family and friends are still waiting for answers.
