00:00Every year, thousands and thousands of people vanish without leaving a single trace.
00:07For most, their disappearance remains unsolved until their case grows cold after countless years have passed by.
00:16However, in some cases, they are found again many decades later with stories so peculiar that it leads us to question the mysterious nature of this world we inhabit.
00:26Here is a list of some fascinating examples, people who went missing or were presumed dead, yet miraculously reappeared.
00:36Case 6 – The Disappearance of Kamiya Mobley
00:40On the 10th of July, 1998, Shannara Mobley, who was 16 years old at the time, welcomed a vibrant little girl into the world in Jacksonville, Florida, and named her Kamiya.
00:54Despite her difficult life circumstances, Shannara viewed Kamiya's birth as an opportunity to turn things around and finally make something of herself.
01:05Shortly afterward, a woman dressed in scrubs walked through room 328 and met Shannara, who was with her daughter, and introduced herself as a nurse, but there was more to her than meets the eye.
01:18Unbeknownst to Shannara, this particular woman was feeling particularly hopeless that day after leaving her job at a Charleston nursing home.
01:28She was in an oppressive relationship, she'd been deprived custody of her children, and, perhaps most distressing of all, she was reeling from a physical and mental trauma of having recently suffered a horrible miscarriage.
01:41Overwhelmed with postpartum depression, she drove to Florida's University Medical Center, stood outside the nursery for a few moments, and peered at all the newborns before walking into Shannara's room, where she found both mother and daughter.
01:58For hours, the woman remained by Shannara's side, offering her solace under the guise of being just a regular nurse.
02:05Eventually, she mentioned that it was time to take the infant out to measure her temperature.
02:11Instead, she stuffed baby Kamiya in a leather bag, walked out of the hospital, and drove far away.
02:18When her family members asked about where the baby came from, she lied about going into labor and subsequently giving birth at work.
02:27Back in Florida, Shannara was frantically calling out for her missing daughter.
02:31While police were able to construct a facial composite of the woman based on information provided by Shannara and other witnesses, the hunt for Kamiya's kidnapper bore no fruit.
02:43And as the years went by, with no new leads to speak of, what happened to Kamiya remained a mystery.
02:50Following a settlement with the former University Medical Center, Shannara was awarded $1.5 million in compensation due to the hospital's negligence.
03:01As for Kamiya, for 18 years, nobody knew her whereabouts, not even whether or not she was still alive.
03:09As Shannara Mobley labored to cobble together the pieces of her life following Kamiya's abduction, Gloria Williams, the woman responsible for Kamiya's kidnapping, found that things in her world began to fit back into place.
03:24She broke free of her abusive relationship, regained custody of her children, got remarried, and raised Kamiya as her own, under a new name, Alexis Manigo.
03:36During her childhood in South Carolina, Alexis experienced a surprisingly cheerful upbringing.
03:42She was surrounded by family and friends, going to school, playing with her siblings, and regularly inviting friends over.
03:51As Alexis grew older and reached the age of 16, she unearthed a shocking secret kept hidden from her for many years.
04:00She didn't have a social security number, an essential requirement to get a driver's license or find work, and it became evident something wasn't quite right.
04:10It was then that Alexis confronted her so-called mother about it, who confessed that she had stolen her away as an infant.
04:19Even though Williams initially proposed to turn herself in, Alexis rejected the idea.
04:25Real or not, she wasn't about to lose the woman she viewed as her mother.
04:30In January 2017, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received two anonymous tips that eventually led them to Walterboro.
04:40One of which came from a friend who said Alexis had confessed to them.
04:45The other was a person who claimed they overheard Alexis talking about Gloria not being her real mother.
04:52After officers confronted Gloria and conducted DNA tests, it was proven beyond any doubt that Alexis Manigo was in fact Kamiya Mobley all along.
05:04When she heard the news, Shannara was filled with joy.
05:08Even though she went on to have more kids, her firstborn child never left her mind, nor her heart.
05:14When the two were eventually reunited, it wasn't precisely the joyful reunion Shannara always fantasized about.
05:23After all, for Alexis, Gloria Williams was her real mother.
05:28In February 2018, Williams pleaded guilty to kidnapping and interfering with custody under state law.
05:35During testimony at Williams' trial, Shannara spoke of the overwhelming grief she suffered after having her baby girl stolen from her.
05:45As for Williams, she conveyed nothing but remorse in her testimony.
05:50Unfortunately for her, this wasn't enough to sway the judge.
05:55Williams was found guilty and sentenced to 18 years behind bars.
06:00Despite what she's done, Kamiya refuses to cut ties with her other mother.
06:05In a heart-wrenching interview, 20 years after her daughter's kidnapping, Shannara Mobley revealed that she and Kamiya were no longer on speaking terms.
06:16Case 5. The Disappearance of Denise Bolser
06:19On January 17, 1985, 24-year-old Denise DesRousseau Bolser disappeared from her Raymond, New Hampshire abode.
06:30When her husband arrived home later that day, it took him six hours to notice the mysterious note pinned on their fridge, which read,
06:39We've got your wife.
06:40When police arrived, all they could find were footprints in the snow, yet no sign of Denise herself.
06:47After the note was left at Denise's home, no demand for a ransom or attempts to contact anyone were made,
06:54leaving no additional clues as to who wrote it or their intentions.
06:59After several days of investigation, police were eventually led to Logan Airport,
07:04where they stumbled upon her husband's pickup truck with Denise's social security card, birth certificate, and credit cards placed on the front seat,
07:13yet Denise was nowhere to be found.
07:15Despite their best efforts, no clues could be found that could explain what happened to Denise or where she could have possibly gone.
07:24Her family, with whom she had a close bond, strongly suspected something sinister may have taken place when she suddenly left.
07:32Her husband was never suspected to have been involved with her disappearance, and he eventually filed for divorce.
07:38Law enforcement investigated the idea that she may have been abducted or possibly killed,
07:45yet concrete proofs supporting this theory eluded them also.
07:50It wouldn't be until a few months after Denise's untimely disappearance that a new clue was uncovered.
07:57The courier service, where she had served as a bookkeeper, blamed her for stealing anywhere between $12,000 to $100,000,
08:05pointing to the possibility that she had gone into hiding due to financial troubles.
08:11In 1986, embezzlement charges were brought against Denise.
08:16Seven years later, the allegations against her were dismissed,
08:20and her family grew optimistic that she would one day reach out to them.
08:24In 2002, Shirley Casey, a private investigator,
08:29provided authorities with information regarding a woman living in Florida
08:33who fit Denise's description and shared her date of birth.
08:37Almost 17 years later, law enforcement was once again on Denise's trail,
08:43and on May 13, 2002, she was located in Panama City, Florida,
08:48now going by the name of Denise James.
08:52Unbeknownst to her old family, or anyone else for that matter,
08:55she had begun a new life and started a family for herself.
08:59When finally confronted, Denise confessed that her decision to flee
09:03was made after her ex-employer threatened to kill her within two days.
09:08Furthermore, Denise revealed that, while attempting to cover her tracks,
09:13she had gone to the Bahamas, California, South Carolina, and Hawaii.
09:18With the mystery solved, Denise was finally able to experience
09:22an emotional and joyous reunion with her family.
09:25Case 4. The Disappearance of John Darwin
09:29On the 14th of August, 1950, John Darwin was born in Harderpool,
09:36a vibrant and bustling port town situated in County Durham, England.
09:4223 years later, John married Anne Stephenson in Blackhall on December 22nd.
09:48He then went on to teach science and mathematics for 18 years
09:52before later becoming a prison officer.
09:55One day, on 21st of March, 2002,
10:00John set out on a canoe ride and never returned home.
10:04Anne, his wife, was frantic when she noticed it had gone late
10:07and he still hadn't come back,
10:10prompting the police and Coast Guard
10:11to launch an expansive search in hopes of locating him.
10:15The following morning, the paddle John used during his voyage
10:19was found drifting in the ocean near Seton Keru.
10:23As for John, there were no clues to suggest where he was.
10:28Six weeks later, his dilapidated boat was located near North Gare
10:33in a secluded area known as the Blue Lagoon,
10:36situated by the River Tees.
10:38After six months of anguish and slowly losing hope of his survival,
10:44Anne stated that all she wanted was to bury John's body
10:48as it would enable her to move on.
10:51In April of the subsequent year,
10:54Darwin was formally declared dead
10:56in an inquest with a concluded open verdict.
10:59His death certificate noted that the sea had claimed his life.
11:03With her husband's death certificate in hand,
11:07Anne was able to accumulate a grand total
11:10of nearly £250,000 in payouts,
11:14consisting of a staggering £137,000
11:18from Norwich Union, an insurance company,
11:21his prison service pension worth £58,000,
11:24a life insurance policy worth £25,000,
11:29and his teacher's pension, valued at £25,000.
11:34However, unbeknownst to anyone, apart from his wife,
11:39John was alive and well.
11:42Throughout his constant job changes,
11:44from a teacher for 18 years to banking
11:47and finally prison officer,
11:49Darwin was driven by his never-ending quest for wealth.
11:53He remained confident that he would someday make it big.
11:56Ronald, his 91-year-old father, exclaimed,
12:01He had ideas above his station.
12:04He had big dreams and ambitions,
12:06and I sometimes think he was in too much of a hurry to make money.
12:11John Darwin was obsessed with the prospect
12:13of becoming a millionaire.
12:15Even at his mother's funeral,
12:17money was all he would talk about.
12:20At one point,
12:21he purchased numerous inexpensive properties
12:23in the Durham area in hopes of renting them out.
12:27When that didn't work out,
12:29he moved over to trading stocks.
12:31Soon enough,
12:32John had an astounding 17 phone lines
12:35installed in their house
12:37so that he could play the stock market
12:38during his leisure time,
12:40although that endeavor also proved unsuccessful.
12:45Growing desperate,
12:46John tried to at least formulate
12:48an illusion of wealth
12:49by purchasing a 40,000-pound Range Rover.
12:53Behind the scenes, however,
12:55his investments had already gone astray
12:58and debt collectors came knocking
13:00at the couple's doorstep in 2001.
13:04Overwhelmed with debt,
13:05but too prideful to declare bankruptcy
13:07and unwilling to give up the prospect
13:10of coming out on top,
13:12Darwin devised a plan.
13:14He would stage his own death
13:16and collect the life insurance.
13:18Not long after his supposed death,
13:21Darwin went into hiding,
13:23but would frequently drop by his marital home,
13:26most often during the night.
13:28He would seclude himself
13:30in a small, one-roomed apartment
13:32adjacent to his own home
13:34and stay there during the day.
13:36Then at night,
13:37he'd make use of a hidden doorway
13:39concealed behind a wardrobe
13:40to gain access to his family's home
13:43without being seen or heard by anyone,
13:46apart from his wife.
13:48Not even their own children knew
13:50that he was still alive.
13:52To ensure his presence remained undetected,
13:56Darwin poured concrete
13:57over the floorboards of the hidden passage
13:59to stifle any creaking.
14:02Gradually,
14:03Darwin grew bolder
14:04and more confident
14:05in this charade of his.
14:07He would stroll around in the daylight,
14:09wearing nothing but a woolly hat
14:11and hobbling
14:12as if he was suffering
14:13from some sort of injury
14:15to conceal his identity.
14:17Should any visitors decide
14:19to drop by unannounced
14:20during one of his visits,
14:22he would disguise himself
14:23as Tom,
14:24the handyman,
14:26donning an inexpensive wig
14:27and glasses.
14:29Whenever relatives came to stay,
14:31he'd vanish through the same entrance
14:33behind his bedroom wardrobe.
14:36As time passed
14:37and Darwin became more confident
14:39that his deceitful plan
14:40had gone unnoticed,
14:42he applied for credit cards
14:43in his own name,
14:45utilizing none other
14:46than the address
14:47of his small hideout.
14:49Throughout his years of hiding,
14:51he was spotted plenty of times
14:53by different people
14:53who knew him personally.
14:56In 2003,
14:58Darwin chanced upon
14:59a former prison colleague
15:00when police found out
15:02about this chance encounter
15:03and managed to lie
15:05and convince police officers
15:07that the colleague
15:08had made a mistake
15:09and that the man he saw
15:10was just a cousin
15:12who looked just like John.
15:14One day,
15:15one of his tenants
15:16also recognized him
15:17when he passed by them
15:19and asked,
15:20aren't you supposed to be dead?
15:22Darwin grew nervous
15:24and begged the man
15:25to not tell anyone
15:26and the tenant
15:27reluctantly agreed.
15:29As a way of refabricating
15:31his identity,
15:32Darwin intently
15:34searched local cemeteries
15:35for the grave
15:36of a child born
15:37at roughly the same time
15:39as himself,
15:40then applied for a copy
15:41of their birth certificate,
15:43only to use it
15:43to secure a passport.
15:46After contriving
15:47yet another ambitious plan,
15:49he utilized his passport
15:51to journey to America
15:52in 2004,
15:54where he had made contact
15:55with Kelly Steele,
15:57a mother of three from Kansas,
15:59through an online
16:00role-playing game.
16:02He also persuaded Kelly
16:03to purchase a 20-acre ranch
16:06using 25,000 pounds
16:08of his own money.
16:10Darwin reportedly lied to her
16:12about having made a fortune
16:13on the stock market
16:14and told her
16:15that he always wanted
16:16to become a cowboy.
16:18Shortly after his arrival
16:20at the U.S.,
16:21his tone quickly shifted
16:22when he began aggressively
16:24demanding his money
16:25back from Kelly,
16:27sending her sinister emails
16:28that left her fearing
16:30for her safety.
16:30John Darwin
16:32then continued
16:34to pursue his ambitions
16:35of becoming
16:36a multi-millionaire.
16:38He flew to Panama City,
16:40where he managed
16:40to start a company.
16:42He later bought
16:42a lavish
16:4325,000-pound
16:45Toyota Land Cruiser
16:46along with
16:47a 50,000-pound flat.
16:49After successfully
16:51selling two properties
16:52in Seton-Keru
16:53for a collective sum
16:54of 455,000 pounds,
16:58he made the decision
16:58to invest
16:59an additional
17:00200,000 pounds
17:02into a sprawling estate
17:03near the Panama Canal,
17:06which he planned
17:06on turning
17:07into a tourist resort.
17:09In the meantime,
17:10police had already
17:11been tipped off
17:12that he might be
17:13still alive
17:14and living in Panama.
17:16The lies further
17:17started to unravel
17:18on the 14th of July,
17:202006,
17:22when a picture of him
17:22and his wife
17:23property hunting
17:24in Panama
17:25was posted.
17:27When Panama
17:27began implementing
17:29new visa regulations,
17:31Darwin knew
17:31that his identity
17:32would now have to go
17:34through a lengthy
17:34approval process,
17:36and this time,
17:37he couldn't rely
17:38on his alias
17:39to keep him hidden.
17:41He then constructed
17:42another of his
17:43devious ploys.
17:44He decided to return home
17:46and pretend to be
17:47afflicted with amnesia.
17:49On the evening
17:50of December 1, 2007,
17:5257-year-old
17:54John Darwin
17:55walked into the
17:56West End
17:57Central Police Station
17:58with an astonishing
17:59confession.
18:01He declared,
18:01I think I am
18:03a missing person.
18:05He was able
18:06to provide his name,
18:07date of birth,
18:08and other identifying
18:09information with ease.
18:11However,
18:12he stated that
18:13he could not recall
18:14where he had been
18:14in the past
18:15five and a half years.
18:17In an effort
18:18to get to the bottom
18:19of where Darwin's been
18:20over the past
18:21five and a half years,
18:22Cleveland Police
18:24and the Metropolitan Police
18:25joined forces
18:27for a collaborative
18:28investigation.
18:30Anne,
18:30who was completely
18:31overwhelmed with joy,
18:34took to the media
18:34to express her excitement
18:36at her husband's survival.
18:38Due to the
18:39aforementioned
18:39Panama photo,
18:41and thanks to
18:41the numerous individuals
18:43who Darwin
18:44was spotted by
18:44over the years,
18:46police were able
18:47to put together
18:47evidence
18:48that invalidated
18:49his plea of amnesia
18:50and brought him
18:52in front of a judge.
18:54In 2008,
18:55after confessing
18:56to eight deception charges,
18:58Darwin was convicted
18:59and incarcerated
19:00for a sentence
19:01of six years
19:02and three months.
19:04His wife, Anne,
19:05was also charged
19:06with fraud
19:07and money laundering,
19:08later receiving
19:09a sentence
19:09of six and a half years.
19:12Case 3,
19:13The Disappearance
19:15of Stephen Kubacki
19:17On a cold winter day
19:19in February 1978,
19:2223-year-old
19:23Stephen Kubacki,
19:24an undergraduate student
19:25at Hope College,
19:27a quaint
19:27and intimate
19:28Christian college
19:29located by the shores
19:31of Lake Michigan,
19:32inexplicably
19:33disappeared
19:34without a trace.
19:36Stephen decided
19:37to go
19:38on a daring
19:38skiing journey alone,
19:40planning to stay
19:41one or two days,
19:42but never came back.
19:43The day
19:44after his excursion,
19:46snowmobilers
19:47in Sagatuck
19:48noticed Stephen's
19:49cross-country skis
19:50discarded
19:51with a backpack
19:52near them
19:53and quickly reached
19:54out to law enforcement.
19:56Upon examining
19:57the contents
19:57of this pack,
19:59they concluded
19:59that it belonged
20:00to Stephen,
20:01prompting an immediate
20:02search and rescue
20:03mission for him.
20:05The trail
20:05of 200 yards
20:06he left in the snow
20:08went past
20:09the lake's edge
20:09then abruptly ended.
20:11This led investigators
20:13to conclude
20:13that Kubacki,
20:15more than likely,
20:16met his fate
20:17under a thick layer
20:18of ice
20:19and drowned.
20:20The mysterious
20:21Lake Michigan Triangle
20:22spanning
20:23Manitowoc,
20:25Wisconsin,
20:26to Ludington,
20:27Michigan,
20:28and down to
20:28Benton Harbor
20:29is where Stephen
20:30had gone missing.
20:32This unforgiving
20:33landscape of the U.S.
20:34is steeped in mystery.
20:37The Lake Michigan Triangle
20:38may not be as famous
20:40as the Bermuda Triangle,
20:41but it's certainly
20:42just as terrifying.
20:44In 1891,
20:46the seven-man crew
20:47of a schooner
20:48named Thomas Hume
20:50set out to sail
20:51across the lake
20:52in search of lumber,
20:53but they never returned,
20:55and no trace
20:56of their vessel
20:56was ever found.
20:58Many other
20:59unexplained flight
21:00mishaps,
21:01ghost ship sightings,
21:02disappearances,
21:03and weather conditions
21:04that go from
21:05one extreme
21:05to the other
21:06in a matter of minutes
21:07have been attributed
21:09to this eerie region
21:10since then.
21:12After Stephen
21:12went missing,
21:14search teams
21:14combed the area
21:15he was last seen in.
21:17Eventually,
21:18they found his skis
21:19and poles
21:20on the lake's beach
21:21as well as footsteps
21:22leading up
21:23to his frozen surface.
21:25There was no sign
21:26of Stephen's body.
21:28It was as if
21:29he had vanished
21:30into the ether.
21:31On the 5th of May,
21:331979,
21:3514 and a half months
21:37since his ill-fated trip,
21:39Stephen returned
21:40to his father's house
21:41and simply rang
21:42the doorbell.
21:44He seemed disoriented
21:45as if he had just
21:46woken up
21:47from a really long nap
21:48and was in utter disbelief
21:50that it had been
21:51more than a year.
21:53After his father
21:54embraced him,
21:55Stephen recalled
21:56having a faint memory
21:58of what happened
21:58during his absence.
22:00He was jolted awake
22:01in a meadow
22:02almost 40 miles
22:03from his father's house
22:05and 700 miles
22:06from Lake Michigan.
22:08He was dressed
22:09in weird clothes
22:10and beside him
22:11was an unfamiliar backpack
22:13containing maps
22:14that did not belong to him.
22:16He was also
22:17entirely unaware
22:18of the events
22:19that led up
22:19to this peculiar predicament.
22:22What is,
22:22perhaps,
22:23most intriguing
22:24about Stephen's case
22:25is what he was wearing,
22:27a t-shirt
22:28from a Wisconsin marathon.
22:30He remarked
22:31in an interview
22:31that,
22:32I feel like
22:33I've done a lot
22:34of running.
22:35As far as last memories,
22:37they were of the
22:37snow-capped shores
22:38of Lake Michigan.
22:40The mysterious events
22:42surrounding Stephen's
22:43disappearance
22:43remain an unsolved riddle
22:46to this day.
22:47Some think
22:48he simply went
22:49into a coma
22:49and wandered aimlessly
22:51across the country,
22:52while others believe
22:53he fell victim
22:54to the Lake Michigan Triangle,
22:57an area with no shortage
22:58of unexplainable phenomenon.
23:00Some wilder theories
23:02even suggest
23:03that aliens
23:04kidnapped him
23:04for experimentation.
23:07Again and again,
23:08reporters questioned Stephen
23:10on what happened to him,
23:11to which he responded
23:12that he really
23:13didn't recall
23:14much of anything.
23:16Despite all of this,
23:17he remained insistent
23:19on the fact
23:19that he had
23:20no mental health issues
23:21to speak of.
23:23During a later interview,
23:24he revealed details
23:25of his abrupt disappearance
23:27and discussed
23:28what might have been
23:29behind it all.
23:30He reasoned
23:31his blackout
23:32was likely due
23:33to fatigue
23:33or overexposure
23:35and revealed
23:36that he would be
23:36seeing a physician
23:37for a checkup,
23:38but he emphatically
23:39refused any form
23:41of psychiatrist counseling.
23:43My father
23:44was going to sign
23:45over the house to me.
23:47I had three courses
23:47at school
23:48and no trouble.
23:49I left a romance
23:50in Germany.
23:51There was no trouble
23:52with girls.
23:53I had a job
23:54lined up
23:54with the Holland
23:55Sentinel newspaper.
23:56Presently,
23:59Kubacki is alive
24:00and well
24:00in the Pacific Northwest
24:02where he works
24:03as a psychologist
24:04in admittedly
24:05amusing twist of fate.
24:08Case 2
24:08The Disappearance
24:10of Tamara Milligrad
24:12On a blissful
24:14Saturday morning
24:15on September 18, 1971,
24:1815-year-old Tamara Milligrad
24:20and two of her closest friends
24:22made their way
24:23to the nearby city
24:24of Melbourne
24:25where the renowned
24:26Royal Melbourne Show
24:28was taking place,
24:30an eagerly anticipated
24:31annual carnival event.
24:33The carnival
24:34brought together farmers,
24:36food,
24:36and entertainment,
24:37drawing in hundreds
24:38of thousands
24:39of people annually.
24:41Before that,
24:42going to the carnival,
24:44Tamara informed
24:45her fretful mother,
24:46Rubel,
24:46of her plans
24:47to attend the exhibition
24:48with some
24:49of her classmates.
24:50When Rubel heard
24:51there would be
24:52many people present,
24:53she wanted to accompany
24:54Tamara and her friends
24:56to keep an eye
24:57on things.
24:58However,
24:59Tamara seemed fiercely
25:00opposed to this idea,
25:02pointing out
25:03that she and her friends
25:04can look out
25:04for one another
25:05and that her mom
25:06wouldn't be interested
25:07in the games.
25:09After a hasty farewell
25:11to her mother,
25:12Tamara hopped in the car
25:13with friends
25:14for an exciting day
25:15at the bustling exhibition.
25:17Sheep-sharing
25:18and horse-racing
25:19were just a few
25:20of the captivating
25:21activities available.
25:23Alpaca displays,
25:24poultry competitions,
25:26log-chopping events,
25:27and more
25:28were also within
25:29arm's reach
25:30for the kids to enjoy.
25:32As they walked
25:33around the carnival,
25:34Tamara,
25:35who up to this point
25:36seemed disinterested
25:37and uneasy,
25:39informed her friends
25:40that she was going
25:40to look for a place
25:41to exchange some money
25:43as she was out of change,
25:45promising to return shortly.
25:47Anxiety swirled
25:48among her friends
25:49as Tamara's absence
25:51grew warringly extended.
25:53After a while,
25:54they began to look
25:55for Tamara
25:56in places
25:56where she might have gone,
25:58yet there was
25:59no sign of her.
26:01Desperately scouring
26:02for someone,
26:03Tamara's friends
26:04had no choice
26:05but to frantically
26:06call her family.
26:08Her parents
26:08rushed to the venue
26:09immediately and,
26:11after hours
26:12of fruitless search efforts,
26:14soon realized
26:14there was no sign
26:16of her anywhere
26:16on the premises.
26:18Without delay,
26:19they swiftly alerted
26:20Australian authorities
26:21of the situation.
26:24Police officers
26:24escalated the search efforts
26:26to encompass
26:27nearby areas
26:28of the exhibition,
26:29yet,
26:30after days of tirelessly
26:31looking for her,
26:33there was no sign
26:34of 15-year-old Tamara.
26:36After delving
26:37into her personal relationships
26:38with her parents,
26:40police uncovered
26:40that Tamara
26:41was going through
26:42a period
26:42of adolescent rebellion.
26:45Additionally,
26:46Eugene,
26:47Tamara's older brother,
26:49said that she was
26:49a handful
26:50before vanishing.
26:52Tamara was highly introverted,
26:54often skipped school,
26:55and the tension
26:56between her
26:57and her family members
26:58became unbearable
26:59at times.
27:00In fact,
27:02she once escaped
27:03through her bedroom window
27:04for days on end
27:05before finally returning home.
27:08Furthermore,
27:09Tamara's closest friends
27:10informed the police
27:12that shortly
27:12before she vanished,
27:14there was a heated argument
27:15between her
27:16and her family
27:17about going out
27:18with her boyfriend.
27:20After this altercation,
27:21Tamara would be
27:22frequently heard
27:23talking about
27:23fleeing her home
27:24and starting a new life.
27:27Nonetheless,
27:28police began searching
27:29for witnesses
27:30who may have
27:31spotted Tamara.
27:32Meanwhile,
27:33Tamara's family
27:34launched a multifaceted
27:36campaign,
27:37distributing printouts
27:38throughout the streets
27:39and shopping malls
27:40in hopes that someone
27:41may recognize Tamara
27:42or have valuable information
27:44regarding her disappearance.
27:47In the ensuing months,
27:49police learned
27:49from several eyewitnesses
27:51that Tamara
27:52was spotted
27:52a few days
27:53after she went missing.
27:55Some witnesses claimed
27:56that Tamara
27:57had been lurking
27:58in the stables
27:58at the fair
27:59for two days
28:00following her
28:01mysterious disappearance.
28:02Yet,
28:03after arriving
28:04on the premises,
28:05police officers
28:06found no trace of her.
28:08It was also rumored
28:09that Tamara
28:10had been working
28:10in a bar
28:11near the waterfront
28:12of St. Kilda,
28:13an area located
28:14on Melbourne's
28:16southern side.
28:17Additionally,
28:18a friend of Tamara's
28:19allegedly caught sight
28:20of her
28:21at a hotel
28:22in Leverton.
28:23This,
28:24along with Tamara's
28:25complicated relationship
28:26with her family,
28:28prompted the authorities
28:28to presume
28:29that she indeed
28:30departed
28:31of her own free will.
28:33Nevertheless,
28:34her family refused
28:35to give up
28:35their search for her.
28:37They hired
28:37a private investigator
28:38to look into
28:39Tamara's possible
28:40whereabouts
28:41and even traveled
28:42to every place
28:43where she was rumored
28:44to be spotted,
28:45yet returned
28:46empty-handed
28:47every time.
28:48Throughout the years,
28:50despite the passage
28:51of time
28:51and their daughter's
28:52case growing cold,
28:54her parents held
28:55on to their hope
28:56that Tamara
28:56would one day
28:57come back.
28:59After 18 years
29:00of agonizing
29:01over Tamara's
29:02disappearance,
29:03her father
29:04tragically passed
29:05away without
29:06ever finding
29:07out the truth.
29:09In 2010,
29:10Melbourne
29:11launched its
29:12Missing Persons Week
29:13and among the stories
29:14shared was Tamara's.
29:16In 2015,
29:18a woman stumbled
29:19upon Tamara's picture
29:20whilst browsing
29:21the AFP
29:22Missing Persons
29:23website
29:23and saw a woman
29:24that looked
29:25an awful lot
29:26like her own mother,
29:27the only difference
29:28being her mom
29:29had a different name.
29:31Corina Russell
29:32suffered the loss
29:34of her mother
29:34in a car accident
29:35in 1976
29:36when she was
29:37but a few years old.
29:39Later in life,
29:40Corina found out
29:41that her father
29:42and mother
29:42never wed
29:43as for some reason
29:45her mother
29:46couldn't get
29:46a birth certificate.
29:48This piqued
29:49Corina's curiosity.
29:50and she began
29:51looking for answers
29:52regarding her
29:53mother's real identity.
29:55There were
29:56remarkable similarities
29:57between Pauline
29:58Tammy Russell,
29:59her mother,
30:00and Tamara
30:01Milligrad.
30:02Apart from sharing
30:03the same birth date,
30:05their resemblance
30:05was also uncanny.
30:08Corina reached out
30:09to the National
30:10Missing Persons
30:10Coronation Center
30:12and told them
30:13she thought
30:13the woman
30:14from the photo
30:14could be her mother.
30:16Unbeknownst to her,
30:18the information
30:19she was about
30:19to discover
30:20would alter
30:21her life
30:22in a monumental way.
30:24To determine
30:25if Pauline Tammy Russell
30:26was in fact
30:27Tamara Milligrad,
30:29Tamara's family
30:30was contacted
30:31and a DNA sample
30:32from one of her siblings
30:33was collected.
30:35The results
30:35were analyzed
30:36by an expert
30:37from the
30:38Victorian Institute
30:39of Forensic Medicine
30:40who verified
30:41that the DNA sample
30:43provided
30:43was a match
30:44with Corina's
30:45own genetic material.
30:48After an astonishing
30:4944 years
30:50of not knowing
30:51what happened
30:51to Tamara,
30:52her family was,
30:54at last,
30:55able to uncover
30:56the truth.
30:57Not only did Tamara
30:58sever all ties
31:00with her previous family,
31:01but she also moved
31:03elsewhere in Victoria
31:04and changed
31:05both her age
31:06to 18
31:07and named
31:07to Pauline Tammy Russell,
31:09having two kids
31:10afterward
31:11before tragically
31:12losing her life
31:13in a car crash.
31:15After four long decades,
31:17Tamara's family
31:18finally got the closure
31:19they had been searching for.
31:22Although it was agonizing
31:23for Tamara's
31:24now 90-year-old mother
31:25to discover
31:26what became
31:27of her daughter,
31:28finally learning
31:29the fate
31:29of her beloved
31:3015-year-old child
31:31may have proved comforting
31:33to some extent.
31:35Tamara's family
31:36was finally able
31:37to leave the past
31:38in their way
31:39and her bittersweet
31:40outcome ensued.
31:42As for Karina,
31:43Tamara's family
31:44welcomed her
31:45into the fold
31:46with open arms.
31:48Case 1
31:49The Disappearance
31:51of Lucy Ann Johnson
31:52Lucy Ann Johnson,
31:56formerly
31:56Lucy Ann Carville,
31:58was born
31:59on October 14,
32:001935
32:01in Skagway,
32:03Alaska.
32:04Lucy lived out
32:05her early childhood
32:06in the cities
32:07of Bennett
32:07and Pennington
32:08before her family
32:09moved to the Yukon
32:10community of Carcross
32:12where she was
32:13eight years old.
32:14It wasn't until 1953
32:16that she left Carcross,
32:18however,
32:19and after doing so,
32:21there wasn't much contact
32:22between Lucy
32:23and her relatives.
32:25In 1954,
32:27Lucy met
32:27Marvin Johnson.
32:29The couple fell in love
32:30and soon tied the knot
32:32before relocating
32:33to Surrey
32:34in British Columbia,
32:35Canada.
32:37While Lucy found
32:38the job at a hospital,
32:39Marvin worked
32:40on a tugboat
32:41and together
32:42the maid ends meet
32:43for their two children,
32:44Linda and Daniel.
32:46Life working
32:47on a tugboat
32:48can be full of hardship,
32:50hardship
32:50that Marvin
32:51sought refuge
32:52from via alcohol.
32:54Before long,
32:56the already short-tempered
32:57Marvin
32:57no longer had control
32:59over his actions
33:00and would often
33:01lash out
33:02or sometimes
33:03even assault Lucy.
33:05Linda,
33:06Lucy's daughter,
33:07later mentioned
33:08that she didn't recall
33:09her father
33:10ever being
33:10explicitly violent,
33:12but he implied
33:13he was physically abusive
33:14towards her mother.
33:16One day,
33:17in 1961,
33:19Lucy suddenly disappeared
33:21without a trace.
33:22However,
33:23it took Marvin
33:24until 1965
33:25to report her missing.
33:27Four years
33:28after she had been gone,
33:30it was only
33:31after police
33:32confronted him about it
33:33after receiving
33:34an anonymous tip
33:35from one of the neighbors
33:36who were worried
33:37that they hadn't seen
33:38Lucy in quite some time.
33:40When police officers
33:42questioned him,
33:43Marvin reaffirmed
33:44what the neighbor
33:45had already told them,
33:47that Lucy's been gone
33:48since 1961.
33:51Initially,
33:52authorities suspected
33:53foul play
33:54when one of the neighbors
33:55recalled seeing Marvin
33:56digging in his backyard.
33:59However,
33:59upon inspecting
34:00the premises,
34:02police officers
34:02failed to uncover
34:03anything,
34:05meaning there was
34:06insufficient proof
34:07to accuse Marvin
34:08of murdering his wife.
34:10In any case,
34:11DNA samples
34:12from Lucy's kids
34:13were taken
34:14and would later
34:15routinely be evaluated
34:16for similarities
34:17in unidentified bodies,
34:20yet no matches
34:21were ever found.
34:22After his wife
34:24had been gone
34:24for some time,
34:26Marvin became reluctant
34:27to utter her name.
34:29Later on,
34:30he remarried
34:31and prohibited
34:31Linda and Daniel
34:33from mentioning
34:33their mother
34:34in any capacity
34:35whatsoever.
34:37Unfortunately,
34:39Lucy's son Daniel
34:40passed away
34:41in his late teens.
34:43As for Linda,
34:44despite her mother
34:45disappearing
34:45when she was only
34:46seven years old,
34:48she went on
34:48to live a fulfilling life,
34:50later marrying
34:51and becoming
34:52a grandmother of ten.
34:53In 2013,
34:56Lucy's disappearance
34:57went on
34:58to become
34:58one of the
34:59Royal Canadian
35:00Mounted Police's
35:01oldest
35:01and most enduring
35:03cold cases.
35:05Five decades later,
35:06Linda,
35:07who was in her 50s
35:08by now,
35:09slowly began
35:10resigning herself
35:11to the fact
35:12that Lucy
35:13was gone forever.
35:14But before
35:15relinquishing all hope,
35:17she decided
35:17to try something
35:18no one thought
35:19would work.
35:21Hoping to locate
35:22her mother,
35:23whom she knew
35:23was from Alaska,
35:25Linda placed an ad
35:26in the Yukon News.
35:28The advertisement
35:29contained Lucy's
35:30full name
35:30as well as
35:31her date of birth,
35:33birthplace,
35:34and the names
35:34of her parents.
35:35This was,
35:36by all means,
35:38a last-ditch effort
35:39to,
35:40at the very least,
35:41find some closure.
35:43What happened next,
35:44however,
35:45wasn't what Linda
35:46was expecting.
35:48After a few weeks,
35:49an astonishing phone call
35:50came to Rhonda Glenn
35:52in Whitehorse, Yukon.
35:54Her brother,
35:55Howard,
35:56was working
35:56when he noticed
35:57something profoundly strange.
35:59An advertisement
36:00was placed by someone
36:01searching for their mother,
36:03who shared the same name
36:04and personal info
36:06as their own mom.
36:08This left Rhonda
36:09dumbfounded.
36:11Rhonda gave in
36:11to curiosity
36:12and eventually
36:13contacted Linda.
36:15As soon as
36:16Rhonda and Linda
36:17began speaking
36:17on the phone,
36:18a connection
36:19between them
36:20was palpable.
36:21As the two
36:22conversed with one another,
36:24they began
36:24to slowly realize,
36:26without a shadow
36:27of a doubt,
36:27that they were related.
36:29Excited,
36:31Linda quickly began
36:32making preparations
36:33for a trip
36:34that was long overdue.
36:36As she stepped
36:36off the plane
36:37in Whitehorse,
36:38she was welcomed
36:39with open arms
36:40by a large gathering
36:41of family members
36:42she never knew
36:43she had.
36:44Her half-sister,
36:45Rhonda,
36:46half-brother,
36:47and two aunts
36:48were all eagerly
36:50awaiting to meet
36:50outside the airport's
36:52fenced area.
36:53Among the family,
36:55none was more excited
36:56to see Linda
36:57than Lucy,
36:58who immediately
36:59recognized her daughter
37:00despite having
37:01never seen her
37:02for more than
37:0350 years.
37:05As it turned out,
37:06Lucy Ann Johnson
37:07was alive
37:08and well in 2013,
37:11more than five decades
37:12after she vanished.
37:14She had stayed put
37:15in British Columbia
37:16until the 1980s
37:17before moving
37:18to the Yukon Territory.
37:21After remarrying
37:21and giving birth
37:22to four kids,
37:24Lucy explained
37:25that her disappearance
37:26hadn't been intentional
37:27but rather circumstantial,
37:30a claim which ended up
37:31vindicating her former husband,
37:33Marvin,
37:33who passed away
37:34during the 1990s
37:36from all accusations
37:38related to his
37:39alleged involvement
37:40in her vanishing act.
37:42Upon being questioned
37:43regarding her disappearance,
37:45Lucy confessed
37:45that it had to do
37:46with Marvin's
37:47abusive behavior
37:48and that she attempted
37:49to take her kids
37:50with her
37:51but Marvin
37:52wouldn't let them go.
37:54After finding out
37:55about her mother,
37:56Linda still had to deal
37:57with everything
37:58that happened.
38:00Even though it was tough,
38:01she said that she wasn't
38:02mad at her mother
38:03and hoped that Lucy
38:04would want to meet
38:05her great-grandchildren.
38:07In an interview,
38:09Linda stated that she still
38:10had a lot of questions
38:11but is mostly hoping
38:13for the best
38:13and that her family
38:14could be welcomed
38:15into her mother's life.
38:17While much of the world's secrets
38:19remain hidden in plain sight,
38:21it's comforting to know
38:22that at least some
38:23of its mysteries
38:24get solved
38:25when all the puzzle pieces
38:26are put together.
