And Then They Were Gone

In this special episode of 'And Then They Were Gone', Kona and Ethan return to a case they’ve been following for years, the disappearance and murder of Shane Donahue, to break down everything that unfolded inside the courtroom during the trial of Tim Hickerson.Kona attended the trial in person, witnessing each day of testimony, every witness, and the prosecution’s strategy as they laid out their case against the man accused of taking Shane’s life. This episode walks listeners through how prosecutors presented their evidence, how witnesses held up under cross-examination, and what key moments left those sitting in the courtroom confounded.Throughout the conversation, Kona and Ethan reflect on what they’ve learned since first covering Shane’s disappearance in 2020, and what this trial revealed about the events leading up to his death, the investigation that followed, and the long path toward justice.This is a deep dive into one of Prince William County, Virginia's most controversial cases, and a look at what it’s like to sit inside a courtroom when a 15-year-old case is finally put in front of a jury. Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/ATTWG* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Earth Breeze: https://earthbreeze.com/attwg* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mind of a Monster: The Killer Nurse: https://podcasts.apple.com* Check out Mood and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/ATTWG* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/attwgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Eighteen-year-old model and actress Tammy Lynn Leppert walked away from a car near Cocoa Beach’s Glass Bank on July 6, 1983—and vanished. Weeks earlier, the once-outgoing pageant star told family she’d “seen something awful” and feared someone was going to kill her. In this episode, we trace her life and rising career, the sudden shift to paranoia, the last confirmed moments at the beach, the investigative missteps, and the leading theories that have shadowed this case for more than four decades.If you have information about the July 6, 1983 disappearance of Tammy Lynn Leppert (Rockledge/Cocoa Beach, FL):Cocoa Beach Police Department: 321-868-3251National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC): 1-800-THE-LOSTCase references: NamUs MP #1376, NCMEC/NCIC #M104282291Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/ATTWG* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Earth Breeze: https://earthbreeze.com/attwg* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mind of a Monster: The Killer Nurse: https://podcasts.apple.com* Check out Mood and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/ATTWG* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/attwgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the days following the 1980 presidential election, 44-year-old political fundraiser Nancy Marleine Snow returned home to Maryland — and vanished.A multilingual world traveler and political professional, Nancy had spent the fall working on a Senate campaign in St. Louis. On November 4, she flew to Baltimore, attended an election party, and the next morning, was picked up by a man she trusted — her housesitter, Paul T. Collins III. That was the last confirmed time she was seen alive.Days later, Collins told police that Nancy had met a mysterious man called “Captain Jay,” who offered her a job crewing a yacht from Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean. He claimed she left Annapolis with $1,000 in cash and would be home by Christmas.But investigators never found a “Captain Jay.” No boat, no records, no passport use — nothing to support the story.As weeks passed, Nancy’s daughters in California grew frantic. When her oldest daughter’s birthday came and went with no call, they knew something was wrong. They filed missing-person reports, searched Florida marinas, and pushed police in Maryland to investigate.Decades later, detectives would call Nancy’s disappearance what they believe it truly was — a homicide. The man who last saw her, Paul Collins, remains a person of interest.The supposed boat trip? Still unverified.Nancy’s remains? Still missing.Forty-four years later, her daughters continue to fight for answers.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/ATTWG* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Earth Breeze: https://earthbreeze.com/attwg* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mind of a Monster: The Killer Nurse: https://podcasts.apple.com* Check out Mood and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/ATTWG* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/attwgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We’ve all heard of people who have used children as pawns in a divorce. Maybe they’re fighting on visitation or child support payments because they don’t want to give their soon-to-be ex what they want. But in some extreme cases, the animosity and need for control can be destructive. Charles Vosseler needed to be in charge. He needed to decide where his two sons, 3-year-old CJ, and 2-year-old Billy, were at all times. So when it was clear that his marriage to his wife, Ruth, wasn’t working out, Charles hatched a plan.On October 9, 1986, this plan culminated in him kidnapping his children and keeping them hidden for decades. Over the past 30-plus years, Ruth has never given up on her children. Today, she is still out there fighting to keep their names and their faces in the public consciousness, in hopes of finally bringing them home.There is a $25,000 reward offered to anyone who can provide information leading to the location of Charles Vosseler, CJ, or Billy. If you have any information, please contact your local FBI Field Office, your local American Embassy or Consulate, or the Rochester Police at 603-335-7529.Se ofrece una recompensa de $ 25,000 a cualquiera que pueda proporcionar información que conduzca a la ubicación de Charles Vosseler, CJ o Billy.

On August 7, 1988, Chicago sportswriter turned aspiring novelist Keith Reinhard locked up his antique shop and set out for the same mountain he’d spent the summer writing about. Keith told friends he’d be back by nightfall… but he never returned. What’s even more chilling, was that he wasn’t the first person to disappear from the small mining town of Silver Plume, Colorado. Just under a year earlier, a bookstore owner named Tom Young had similarly locked up his store and set off, only to seemingly vanish into thin air.Two vanishings, one old mining town.

On March 31, 2010, 31-year-old Jacob Cabinaw spent the evening playing a casual round of frisbee golf with a friend in Traverse City, Michigan. When the game wrapped up, Jacob’s friend invited him to hang out at a local park, but he declined, saying he had homework to do for his college classes. He dropped the friend off and said he was heading home to his mom’s house, where he lived. But It was the last time anyone in Michigan would see Jacob Cabinaw.In the coming days, puzzling clues emerged suggesting that instead of driving home, Jacob had driven over 1,200 miles south instead. By the end of that week, Jacob had vanished without a trace, leaving behind a mystifying trail that stretched from Michigan to Texas, and a family who doesn’t believe he would have left them willingly.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jacob Cabinaw, please contact the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office at 231-995-5002, or submit an anonymous tip through their website.

“Go no farther. There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for.” Those were the words printed on the sign at the entrance of an underwater cave in Vortex Springs, Florida. Despite this plaintive warning and the drawing of the Grim Reaper that accompanied it, many divers of differing skill levels failed to heed these words in search of adventure. On August 18, 2010, 30-year-old Ben McDaniel was seen entering the water in his scuba gear. He was never seen on land again.What was at first assumed to be a tragic, yet straightforward diving accident came into question as days went by without Ben’s body being found. Did Ben get deeper into the cave than anyone could have imagined? Or did someone remove him from the water before searchers could find him? Some have questioned if Ben was ever in the water at all that night, or if something completely different happened on the ground. The only thing we know for sure is that after a decade, despite an extensive search, no one knows for sure what happened to Ben McDaniel.Anyone with information on the disappearance of Ben McDaniel is urged to call the Holmes County Sheriff's Office 850-547-3681.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/ATTWG* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Earth Breeze: https://earthbreeze.com/attwg* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mind of a Monster: The Killer Nurse: https://podcasts.apple.com* Check out Mood and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/ATTWG* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/attwgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Never get into a car with a stranger. That’s something everyone’s parent has told them at one point or another.

We're re-releasing it this week so you can catch up before listening to our update episode.When Dennis Appleby came home during his lunch break and didn't see his 11-year-old daughter Trudy, he wasn't initially worried. It was the last days of summer and he assumed she was outside or over at a friend's house enjoying herself. But when he returned from work that evening and there was still no sign of Trudy, he knew something was wrong. Despite witnesses and even Dennis himself saying he knew who was responsible for his daughter's disappearance, Trudy Appleby's case has remained unsolved for the last 25 years. But that could all be changing soon, as police believe they are closer than ever to having the proof they need to put her abductors in prison.Subscribe to Day by Day: True Crime StoriesBuy the ebook! - And Then They Were Gone: True Stories of Those Who Went Missing and Never Came HomeSubmit a caseFind us everywhereGet episodes early and ad-free on PatreonMerch storeOur Sponsors:* Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/ATTWG* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Earth Breeze: https://earthbreeze.com/attwg* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mind of a Monster: The Killer Nurse: https://podcasts.apple.com* Check out Mood and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code ATTWG for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/ATTWG* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/attwgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
