  • 129: MISSING: HaLeigh Cummings
    Mar 23 2026

    In the early morning hours of February 10, 2009, Ron Cummings returned to his home in Satsuma, Florida after work and learned that his five-year-old daughter, HaLeigh, was missing.

    The side door was propped open with a dirty cinder block he had never seen before, and the babysitter told him she had no idea what happened.

    A massive search for HaLeigh began, but there was no sign of her anywhere.

    More than 17 years later, her disappearance remains unsolved, and detectives are still searching for answers about what happened that night.

    At the time of her disappearance, HaLeigh was five years old. She was between 3' and 3' 3" tall and weighed about 39 lbs, with blonde hair and brown eyes. HaLeigh has several identifying features. She has a four-inch round birthmark on the lower left side of her back, along with two birthmarks on her face - one on her left cheek and another along her right jawline.

    If you have any information in HaLeigh’s case, you are asked to call the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office at 1-888-277-8477. There is a $15,000 reward available.

  • 128: MURDER: The Blue Ridge Savings Bank
    Mar 16 2026

    On May 16, 2003, a silent alarm was triggered inside Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Greer, South Carolina. When officers arrived just minutes later, they found the bank empty and the cash drawer cleared out.

    In a small utility room at the back of the building, they made a devastating discovery. Head teller Sylvia Holtzclaw, along with customers Dr. Eb Barnes and his wife Maggie Barnes, had all been shot and killed.

    Surveillance footage from inside the bank was missing. Grainy video from nearby gas stations showed a red car speeding away from the area, but investigators were never able to identify the driver.

    More than 20 years later, the triple homicide at Blue Ridge Savings Bank remains unsolved, and detectives are still searching for the person or people responsible.

    If you have any information, please contact the FBI Office in Greenville, South Carolina at (803) 551-4200 or the Greer Police Department at (864) 848-2151.

  • 127: POSSIBLE MURDER: Erica Alonso
    Mar 9 2026

    On Valentine’s Day 2015, 27-year-old Erica Alonso went out with her ex-boyfriend in Orange County, California. She told her sister she would be home later that night.

    But Erica never came home.

    Weeks later, she was found deceased in a remote area of Orange County. Her body had been wrapped in plastic bags and secured with duct tape. Despite those circumstances, detectives said they did not believe Erica had been murdered.

    That statement has been questioned by many. And more than 10 years later, Erica’s family and community are still trying to figure out what happened that night.

    Anyone with information in Erica’s case is asked to call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227 or visit occrimestoppers.org.

  • 126: MISSING: Deanna Merryfield
    Mar 2 2026

    On July 22, 1990, 13-year-old Deanna Merryfield was last seen in Killeen, Texas. In the early morning hours, she left her grandmother’s house to visit her twin sister and was later seen getting into a dark sedan with two older teenage boys.

    She was never seen or heard from again.

    More than three decades later, Deanna’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family is still searching for answers and working to bring her home.

    Anyone who knew Deanna in 1990 or earlier is asked to come forward, even if they believe the information is minor. Because there was so little investigation in the beginning, even basic details could matter.

    You can also reach the family at FindingDeanna.com.
    If you have any information about Deanna or her disappearance, please contact the Killeen Police Department at 254-501-8891.

  • 123: DISAPPEARANCE and DEATH: Chuck Rutherford and Lana Stempien
    Feb 7 2026
    On the morning of August 12, 2005, a boater on Lake Huron came across a cabin cruiser drifting alone in the water, struggling against the wind and waves. When the Coast Guard arrived, they found the boat in neutral, with the radio still playing, and no one on board.
    The boat belonged to attorneys Lana Stempien and Chuck Rutherford, who had set out days earlier on a planned trip to Mackinac Island. There was no sign of them anywhere.
    Police quickly opened a missing persons investigation, and according to many, what investigators uncovered didn’t add up.
    Then, nearly two weeks later, Lana’s body was recovered. Chuck was never found. To this day, what happened on that boat remains a mystery, leaving everyone wondering: what happened to Lana Stempien and Chuck Rutherford?

    If you have any information in this case, please call the Michigan State Police at 906-643-7582.
