To put in context, In Alaska since 1988, more than 16,000 people have dissappeared which is a huge number. For every 100,000 people, 164 of them have gone missing which is far higher than any other state by a long shot as the 49 states average out to around just 6 people missing per 100,000. Those figures aren’t skewed for effect for the sake of this episode, it’s a fact and so the question becomes….what exactly is going on in Alaska?

Creepy Cold Case - 7 Year Old Disappeared From ...
Portland Oregon has a lot of True Crime stories to tell but one of them, in my mind, stands out above the rest. Because for one it revolves around the disappearance of a 7 year old kid who has yet to be found….And also because while it appears as though the person responsible was someone very close to him…at this point in the case, that’s all just speculation. Kyron Horman went missing one day from school back in 2010 and as we dug into the case, it became frustrating to see one dead end after another as well as several mistakes and lies come to light.
