Amy Bradley: Did She Fall, Walk Away, or Was She Taken? | Part 9

50 People Were There. A 4-Year-Old Vanished. No One Saw a Thing. | Michael Dunahee | Part 1

On March 24th, 1991, a four-year-old boy named Michael Dunahee disappeared from a school playground in Victoria, British Columbia. It was 12:30 in the afternoon. There were approximately fifty people in the immediate area. He vanished within meters of his parents. Not one of those people saw it happen. Thirty-five years later, Michael Dunahee has never been found. Michael Wayne Dunahee was born on May 12th, 1986. He was blonde-haired and blue-eyed with freckles beginning to appear across his nose. He was a happy, physically outgoing four-year-old who had a baby sister named Caitlin and parents named Crystal and Bruce who brought him to Blanchard Elementary School that Sunday afternoon for a women's flag football game. Crystal said yes when Michael asked if he could go to the playground. She told him to wait for his father. She has spoken in interviews about a nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right that day - nothing specific, nothing she could name. She let it go. When Bruce walked to the playground minutes later, Michael was gone. The detail that makes this case almost impossible to process is the one that repeats in every account: not one person out of fifty saw anything. No one saw him leave. No one saw him approach a vehicle or be approached by a person. No one heard anything unusual. A child was taken from a populated public park in the middle of a Sunday afternoon and left no trace. Victoria Police classified it as an abduction from the first hours - a four-year-old with no reason to wander, no way to go anywhere, and a speed and silence of disappearance that was inconsistent with a child who simply walked away. The response was immediate and massive: every available detective, search teams, hundreds of volunteers, helicopters with heat-seeking technology, the RCMP, and eventually the FBI. It became and remains one of the largest missing child investigations in Canadian history. The one physical lead was thin: a witness reported a man in his late forties or early fifties near the playground, associated with a brown van. A reenactment one month later produced nothing. The man was never identified. More than 11,000 tips have been received and investigated over 35 years. The case appeared on America's Most Wanted five separate times. DNA tests in 2006, 2011, and 2013 each ruled out men who resembled Michael. A $100,000 reward still stands. A detective is still assigned. In 2009, police in Milwaukee discovered Michael's missing persons poster at the home of Vernon Seitz, a man who had confessed to his psychiatrist that he had killed a child in 1959. Seitz died before investigators could establish any definitive connection. Victoria Police stated in 2025 that all it would take is one person deciding to come forward. Michael Dunahey was wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt, dark track pants, and white sneakers on the day he disappeared. He weighed approximately 40 pounds. Today he would be 39 years old.

3,000 Families Got Answers. Gina Bos's Family Is Still Waiting." | Jannel Rap | Witness Wednesday

Jannel Rap built a foundation that has helped locate over 3,000 missing people. Her sister Gina Bos disappeared twenty-six years ago. Gina's case is still open. Jannel joins Witness Wednesday for her full interview and the complete conversation behind the clips you heard in Part 2 of the Gina Bos series. She talks about growing up in a family of seven kids, four girls who sang together at church, a grandfather who played the fiddle, a father who played guitar, a mother who played the clarinet and accordion entirely by ear. And she talks about Gina: not just one gift, but all of them. Painting. Drawing. Designing dresses. Cutting hair. Molding clay and wire. In a conversation not long before Gina disappeared, Jannel told her to just pick one thing to focus on. Gina's answer: "That's easy for you, you only have one thing." She shares details that aren't in any public record. Gina named her guitar "Harley", because she loved Harleys, and she never left it in a car unattended because temperature changes affect the wood. The open trunk isn't just a detail. It means something interrupted a habit she'd kept without fail. Gina had also been hesitant to go back for the open mic that night: one son was due home from Florida, and it was another son's birthday. She worked it out. She went back. She walked out the door, and nobody heard anything. She talks about how Lincoln PD responded, immediately, seriously, unusually, and how a prior relationship with Tom Osborne allowed her to get Gina's photo on the Husker jumbotron the Saturday after she disappeared, generating so many tips that LPD had to assign a full unit just to follow up. And she talks about what she built in the twenty-six years since. Six months of pushing for national media. Every outlet said no. The last "no" was instant depression, she fell asleep. She woke up at two or three in the morning and heard one clear thought: just do what you already do. Thirteen events from Los Angeles to New York City. A CD with thirteen missing persons' faces. Three days after the New York City event, a seventeen-year-old from Indiana was handed that CD and recognized his own face on it. He came home alive. The GINA for Missing Persons FOUNDation has since helped locate over three thousand missing people, while Gina's own case remains open. At the end of the interview, Jannel says something she has never said publicly before. About value. About what it means that someone thought they could take her sister's life and throw her away like garbage. And about why the person who did it couldn't have understood the value of a human life, because if they had, they never could have done it.

Gina Bos Part 2: "Do I Think I Know Who Killed Her? Yes."

Eighteen years after Regina "Gina" Bos vanished outside Duggan's Pub in Lincoln, Nebraska, Detective Greg Sorensen said on the record: "Do I think I know who killed her? Yes." Then, in the same conversation: "We don't have enough probable cause to arrest somebody." This episode is built around the gap between those two statements. Gina Bos — a 40-year-old single mother of three and musician — walked out of an open mic on October 17, 2000, and was never seen again. Her car was found across the street. Her guitar, which she never left unattended, sat in a trunk that never closed. No body. No crime scene. No footage — the pub's cameras were off that night. In Part 2 of this series, with new interview audio from Gina's sister Jannel Rap, founder of the GINA for Missing Persons FOUNDation, we examine: * Why the open trunk reframes every piece of physical evidence in the case * The four structural conditions that have shaped this investigation for 25 years * What "probable cause" actually means — and why a detective who believes he knows the answer still can't make an arrest * State v. Keadle: the Nebraska Supreme Court ruling proving murder can be prosecuted without a body * How Jannel turned the worst night of her search into a foundation that has helped find more than 3,000 missing people — while her own sister's case stays open Gina's case is the oldest unsolved missing persons case at the Lincoln Police Department. Nebraska law is not the wall. The evidence is the wall. And evidence can change. Have information about the disappearance of Regina "Gina" Bos?

Halls of Mediocrity Training Camp: 5 Pro Athletes, 5 Crimes — How Many Can Jeff Name? | Preview

Patrick Kane punched a cab driver over 20 cents. Pat McAfee was arrested shirtless and soaking wet at 2am trying to break into the wrong car. One guy was arrested over 100 times. Another had no pants, no underwear, nothing. Five clues. Five athletes. Can you name them? The Halls of Mediocrity launches July 14th, the second show from the Archive Podcast Network. In this preview clip, Kevin and his brother Jeff run a training camp drill: five clues, a running clock, and Jeff doing his best to identify the perp before time runs out. Clue #1 - NFL Running Back: A career backup who never started more than four games in a season, arrested at Barry University for breaking into a dorm room and using a woman's laundry basket as a toilet. Clue #2 - NHL, Three-Time Stanley Cup Champion: One of the most recognizable names in the sport, arrested in Buffalo at 5am for punching a cab driver in the face over a 20-cent fare dispute. Clue #3 - MLB Gold Glove Second Baseman: A .254 career hitter pulled over in Tampa with seven cans of beer, a gram of cocaine, and leaving the scene of an accident. Police could not administer a field sobriety test at the side of the road. You'll understand why when you hear the clue. Clue #4 - NBA Backup Point Guard: Played for six teams in ten years. Never averaged more than eight points a game. Arrested over one hundred times in his life. Best known as a Phoenix Sun. Clue #5 - NFL Punter: Found shirtless, soaking wet, at 2am, trying to break into a car that wasn't his. Told police he thought it was. Now one of the most prominent media personalities in sports. Jeff gets four out of five. Kevin gives him a solid B. July 14th is coming. THE HALLS OF MEDIOCRITY - LAUNCHING JULY 14TH Sports. True crime. Athletes who had everything and threw it away.
