    47: MURDER: Princella Eppes
    On the morning of July 9, 1990, 22-year-old Princella Eppes, a beloved daughter and sister, did not show up for work. This was highly unusual, so Princella’s boss contacted her apartment complex. That afternoon, a maintenance worker was sent to check on her. Upon entering her apartment, he found Princella murdered in her bed. Almost immediately, her case went cold, leaving her family devastated and frustrated. It’s been almost 34 years since Princella was killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…

    46: MISSING: Bianca Carrasco
    On May 3, 2016, Jovanna Burney called the San Antonio police to report her sister, 29-year-old Bianca Carrasco, missing. Jovanna explained that she hadn’t heard from Bianca since the afternoon of May 1, and starting that night, Bianca’s phone had been turned off. Jovanna asked Bianca’s husband, Daniel, what was going on. He said that he and Bianca had a fight on the night of May 1, and she walked away. He claimed he never saw her again. A subsequent investigation led the police to suspect foul play was involved, but Bianca has never been found. It’s been just over eight years since Bianca disappeared, and investigators are still searching for her…

    45: MURDER: Chynna and Blake Dickus
    On the evening of July 24, 2006, Sean Dickus came home from work to his house in Franklin, Indiana. When he went inside, he discovered the bodies of his wife, 26-year-old Chynna, and his 10-year-old son, Blake. They had both been brutally murdered. The police investigated and found out that there had been a string of burglaries around the time of the murders, including one just four houses down from the Dickus home on the same day. Despite a thorough investigation, no suspect has ever been identified. It’s been almost 18 years since Chynna and Blake were killed, and the police are still searching for the person responsible...

    44: MISSING: Robert Harrod
    In June 2009, Robert “Bob” Harrod, an 81-year-old beloved father, married Fontelle, a woman he reconnected with after 59 years apart. Fontelle was set to move from Missouri into Bob’s Placentia, California home on July 29, but two days before that could happen, Bob went missing. After a thorough investigation, the police theorized that Bob had met with foul play, possibly because of his multi-million dollar estate. Despite this, his body has never been located. It’s been almost 15 years since Bob went missing, and investigators are still searching for him…

    Robert “Bob” Harrod was last seen alive at around 2:30 pm on July 27, 2009 at his house in the 500 block of Carnation Drive in Placentia, California. 

    Bob is 5’11”, 140 pounds, with blue/gray eyes. He kept his head shaven, but when he went missing, he did have a little bit of gray hair coming in. He was last seen wearing white shorts, white knee socks, a white belt, a white hat, and white Reebok tennis shoes. The color of his shirt is unknown. 

    If you have any information in this case, please call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227.

    42: MISSING: Madalina Cojocari
    On December 15th, 2022, Madalina Cojocari, a beloved 11-year-old, was reported missing in Cornelius, North Carolina. Her mother, Diana Cojocari, initially told the police that she last saw her daughter on the night of November 23rd. However, investigators soon discovered that nobody outside the family had seen Madalina after November 21st.
    This discrepancy raised suspicions, especially as it became apparent that Diana, along with her husband, Christopher Palmiter, were withholding crucial information, impeding the progress of the investigation.

    Now, a year and a half later, Madalina remains missing, and investigators are still searching for her…

    The last official sighting of Madalina Cojocari was on November 21, 2022, when she was seen getting off the school bus near her house, located at 18413 Victoria Bay Drive in Cornelius, North Carolina.

    Madalina is white, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed 90 pounds and stood at 4’10”. She was last seen wearing jeans, pink, purple and white Adidas shoes, and a white t-shirt and jacket.

    If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of Madalina Cojocari, please contact the Cornelius Police Department at (704) 892-7773. You can also contact your local FBI office or you can submit a tip online at .

    41: MURDER: Brandy Hutchins
    On November 8, 1988, Brandy Hutchins, a 14-year-old beloved daughter, told her friends and family that she was pregnant with her boyfriend’s child. Tragically, just four days later, she was discovered murdered in the root cellar of an abandoned house in Coal Hill, Arkansas.

    During the police investigation at the house, they found a piece of paper with a positive pregnancy test result next to Brandy's body. However, when Brandy's autopsy results came back, they revealed she was not pregnant and had never been.

    It turned out that Brandy had not been honest about her pregnancy. After learning this, the police suspected that the fake positive pregnancy test might have played a role in her death. They focused their attention on two suspects, including Brandy's boyfriend, but unfortunately, they never found enough evidence to make an arrest.

    It's been more than 35 years since Brandy was killed, and investigators are still searching for answers…

    On November 10, 1988, 14-year-old Brandy Hutchins was dropped off at the “Old John Emery” house on Whippoorwill Road in Coal Hill, Arkansas. Two days later, she was found dead in the root cellar. She’d been shot with a .22 caliber.  

    Anyone with information is asked to call the Johnson County Sheriff’s Crime Tips hotline at 479-705-8477. 

    A childhood friend of Brandy's is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Brandy's murderer.

    On the morning of May 6, 2014, Russell Dermond, an 88-year-old beloved father and husband, was found dead in the garage of his home on Lake Oconee in Georgia. He had been brutally murdered, and his head was removed. Russell’s wife of 62 years, Shirley, was nowhere to be found. An intense search for her began, and on May 16, she was found in the lake. Shirley had also been murdered, and her body was weighed down with concrete blocks.

    Despite a thorough investigation, the police have yet to identify a motive or suspect for this heinous crime. It’s been just over 10 years since Russell and Shirley were killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…

    Russell and Shirley Dermond were killed sometime between 4:30 P.M. on May 2, 2014 and 4:00 P.M. on May 3. They were possibly killed at their home on Carolyn Drive in Reynolds Plantation, a gated community located right off Lake Oconee in Georgia.

    38: MISSING: Kadin Black
    On December 20, 2022, Kadin Black, a beloved 19-year-old son and brother, was reported missing in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. His family hadn’t heard from him for three days, and he had failed to show up at his dad’s house for a pre-planned get-together, which was out of character. The police immediately launched an investigation into Kadin’s disappearance, but there was no sign of him anywhere. It’s been just over 16 months since Kadin went missing, and investigators are still searching for him…

    19-year-old Kadin Black last contacted his family on December 17, 2022. His phone connected to the WiFi at the Foust home on Vickilee Drive in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, at around 9:30 am on the 18th. At that time, his phone also pinged in the same vicinity. After 9:30, his phone was either turned off or died. No sign of Kadin has been found since then.

    Kadin is a light skinned Black male with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is 5’10”, 160 pounds, and has an athletic build. It’s unclear what he was last wearing.

    A Facebook page named "Find Kadin Black" has been created for people to learn additional information and keep Kadin’s name circulating.

    Anyone with information should contact the Lower Windsor Township Police Department at 1-717-244-8055.
