Missing Persons

Episode 104 Lawrence 'Larry' Riegel  On Christmas, 2009, 57 year old Lawrence 'Larry' Riegel of Yakima, Washington talked to his family on the phone for the last time. He was in a good mood despite a recent surgery and some medical issues, and reached out to several friends and family members that day. According to people that spoke with Larry, he was making dinner for his live in girlfriend, Ladena Mann, and waiting for her to come home. The next day when Larry failed to show up for a family gathering, his family began to worry about him. Several calls to Larry went unanswered. When Larry's sister Susan, who is our guest in this episode, drove to his home, she found Ladena there, bur no sign of Larry. Ladena told Susan that Larry had gone to see friends on the coast because he was 'feeling Blue' , but his car was still there, and the story did not sit right with Susan.  Days later, after still no word from Larry, his family tried to report him missing to Yakima police. That's when they were informed that Ladena had filed a domestic violence report on Larry regarding an incident that she alleged happened after his family last saw him. Larry's family does not believe Ladena's story, and they are suspicious of her. After he vanished, Ladena used Larry's EBT several times without permission, and she was charged with welfare fraud.  Police believe that Larry met with foul play, and that Ladena knows more than she's saying. There is also suspicion of a now deceased tenant of Larry's who owed him back rent. To date, no charges have been filed against anyone in Larry's case.  Today, Larry would be 72 years old. He is a White male, standing 6ft2 and weighing 200 pounds. He has Gray hair, and Hazel eyes. He sometimes wears eyeglasses. Due to medical issues, Larry walks with a limp on his left leg.

Episode 102 The Zaharias Children  On November 20, 1987, 15 month old Lisa Mae and her brother, 3 year old Christopher Zaharias were abducted by their mother, Susan Gammill from their home in Mission Viejo, California. According to the children's father Louis, his wife Susan was struggling with post partum depression and drug dependency at the time of the abduction. She wiped out the couple's savings and wrote a series of bad checks before leaving with Lisa Mae and Christopher.  Louis immediately filed a police report but it seems that Susan had help from her family taking the children away from Louis, making it difficult for police to help. Over the years, Susan and the children have been tracked to different states, and according to Louis, they continue to be aided by Susan's relatives in avoiding capture. Louis enlisted the help of a dedicated private investigator to help locate his children, but Susan and the people who are helping her always seem to be a step ahead. It's now been just about 37 years since Louis Zaharias has seen his children resulting in what is currently the longest ongoing parental abduction. Louis is desperate to be reunited with his children.
