    The Disappearance of Celeste Doghmi (Maine)

    It wasn’t unusual for Celeste Doghmi to go long stretches of time without talking to her friends and family. She’d lost touch with her mother and many of her close friends, but as far as they could tell by posts on social media, her life was busy with a new baby and starting college classes. 

    But when Celeste’s mother in Germany received a phone call in the spring of 2023, she learned that Celeste hadn’t simply lost touch – she was missing. She’d been missing for two years.

    • At the time of her disappearance, Celeste Doghmi was 27-years old. She is described as a Black woman, 5-feet 2-inches tall, 110 pounds with brown curly hair and brown eyes. She has ear, nose, and tongue piercings and a prominent tattoo on her right upper leg of a dreamcatcher. 
    • If you have information regarding the disappearance of Celeste Doghmi, please report it to Maine State Police via the tip form. You can also contact the Auburn Police Department’s  anonymous tip line at (207) 333-6653.

    The Murder of Linda Rayner (Connecticut)

    When Linda Rayner left for a walk in Hammonasset Beach State Park in the summer of 1992, she was seeking the beauty and peace that only the ocean can bring. Instead, she was brutally attacked by an unknown assailant and her case has remained unsolved ever since.

    In the thirty-plus years since her death, investigators have identified at least one suspect… But her loved ones are still waiting for the day that they have all the answers.

    The Murder of Penny Anderson (Massachusetts)

    When a woman was found murdered in her Springfield, Massachusetts apartment during the spring of 1984, it only took a matter of days to zero in on a suspect and secure an arrest. And then at trial, a jury decided Edward Wright was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 

    The New England Innocence Project has since taken up his case. So, who really killed Penny Anderson? Was it the man serving a life sentence for her death or someone else?
