  • What Happened to Katelyn Kelley?
    Mar 26 2026

    In June 2020, 22-year-old Katelyn Kelley vanished from the Menominee Indian Reservation in northeastern Wisconsin.

    She was seen near County Highway VV and Silver Canoe Road late at night. Hours later, she was reportedly at her apartment in nearby Shawano. Then—she disappeared.

    Her family knew something was wrong almost immediately. Katelyn wasn’t the kind of person to just stop answering calls or walk away from her life. As days turned into weeks, searches expanded across roads, forests, and waterways. Investigators publicly stated they believed someone may have given Katelyn a ride that night—and asked that person to come forward.

    Nine months later, in March 2021, human remains were discovered on the Menominee Reservation. They were identified as Katelyn.

    But even now, years later, her case remains unsolved.

    In this episode of Vanished Voices, we walk through Katelyn’s final known movements, the critical timeline investigators have shared, and the questions that still have no answers. We also take a closer look at the Menominee Reservation, the challenges of investigating cases across jurisdictions, and why so many Indigenous cases remain unresolved.

    If you know anything about Katelyn Kelley’s disappearance, you are urged to contact the Menominee Tribal Police Department at (715) 799-5806, or the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults at 1-800-843-4673 or wisconsinclearinghouse@doj.state.wi.us.

    Someone knows something.

    And Katelyn deserves justice.

  • Who Gets Remembered? Evelyn Hernandez and the Media Divide
    Mar 19 2026

    In May 2002, 24-year-old Evelyn Hernandez vanished from San Francisco just days before giving birth to her second child. Her 5-year-old son, Alex, disappeared with her. Months later, Evelyn’s partial remains were found floating in the Bay, her unborn child never recovered. Her case remains unsolved. Her son is still missing. And hardly anyone knows their names.

    Just seven months later, another pregnant woman — Laci Peterson — would go missing in Northern California. Her story dominated national headlines. Search teams, press conferences, candlelight vigils, and a media frenzy followed. But Evelyn’s story? It barely made local news.

    In this episode, we walk through Evelyn Hernandez’s life, disappearance, and the chilling details of a case that never got the attention it deserved. We examine the differences in how the media — and the public — responded to two nearly identical tragedies, and what those differences reveal about race, class, and whose stories we choose to care about.

    This is a story of three lives lost, justice denied, and the powerful question at the heart of so many missing persons cases:

    Who gets remembered? And who gets left behind?

  • Vanished: The Night Tyarra Williams Disappeared
    Mar 12 2026

    Send a text

    On January 7, 2016, nineteen-year-old Tyarra Williams stepped out of her apartment in Greensboro, North Carolina to visit a friend nearby. It was supposed to be a quick visit — just a short walk across the apartment complex. She told her boyfriend and brother she’d be back within an hour.

    She never returned.

    What should have been a routine walk home turned into a mystery that has haunted her family and investigators for years. Tyarra’s phone activity suddenly stopped. No confirmed sightings have ever been reported. And early in the investigation, police said the circumstances surrounding her disappearance appeared suspicious.

    In this episode, we take a deep dive into Tyarra’s story — who she was before that night, the timeline of her final known movements, and the investigation that followed. We examine what investigators know, what remains unanswered, and the narrow window of time in which Tyarra disappeared.

    How does someone vanish inside their own apartment complex?

    Was she targeted by someone she knew?
    Did something happen during the short walk back home?
    Or did someone encounter her in those final moments?

    Now, over a decade later, Tyarra Williams is still missing — and her family is still searching for answers.

    If you have any information about Tyarra’s disappearance, please contact the Greensboro Police Department at 336-373-2222, Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.

    Someone knows what happened that night.

    And it’s time the truth came to light.
