Terrance Williams was working to rebuild his life in Naples, Florida after moving there with his mother. But on January 12th, 2004, a chance — and unfortunate — encounter with a Collier County Sheriff's Deputy altered the course of not only Terrance's life and the lives of his loved ones, but also the lives and realities of another family who had experienced the very same thing. In October 2003, three months before Terrance disappeared, a man named Felipe Santos also had the misfortune of interacting with a Collier County Sheriff's Deputy during a traffic incident. That deputy's name? Steve Calkins.  Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos were both last seen being put into the back of Deputy Steve Calkins' patrol car, never to be seen again.    _________________________ Patreon Request a Case YouTube Channel Goodpods: Leave a review!

Madison Scott, known as Maddy to family and friends, was 20 years old when she attended a party at Hogsback Lake, about 15 miles south of her hometown of Vanderhoof, British Columbia, Canada. Maddy's original plan was to camp overnight with a friend from high school that she had recently reconnected with. But when the party got too rowdy and her friend ended up with a minor injury, Maddy was left to camp alone when her friend decided to leave the party with her new boyfriend instead. In fact, no one who attended the party that night stayed to camp overnight, leaving Maddy alone in the woods after the festivities died down. When her friend returned to the campsite the next morning to help Maddy pack up her camping gear, Maddy was nowhere to be found. Maddy's truck was left behind, locked, with all of her belongings inside, and her tent was flattened. The only things missing from the scene were Maddy's cellphone, truck keys... and Maddy herself. After two days without hearing from their daughter, the Scott family notified the RCMP and reported Maddy missing. For 12 years, the family was left in limbo, grappling with unfathomable levels of uncertainty. That was until everything took a breathtaking turn, 12 years to the day that Madison Scott was reported missing. _________________________ Patreon Request a Case YouTube Channel Goodpods: Leave a review!
