On March 24, 1991, four-year-old Michael Wayne Dunahee disappeared from the grounds of Blanshard Elementary School in Victoria, British Columbia. Michael had arrived with his parents, Crystal and Bruce Dunahee, while Crystal attended a women’s flag-football practice on an adjoining field. Michael asked to use the nearby playground. Crystal told him to wait there for his father. When Bruce arrived minutes later, Michael was gone.

The disappearance prompted an immediate search by family members, people at the field, police, and volunteers. Investigators later pursued reported sightings, possible vehicles, suspected routes, and thousands of tips. A brown or tan van became an important investigative lead, but no public evidence has established that Michael entered it or that its driver was involved. Several men suggested as possible adult versions of Michael were excluded through DNA testing. Other attention-grabbing leads, including a poster found in a Wisconsin home and a shirt found underwater decades later, did not establish a connection to Michael.

More than three decades later, Michael remains officially missing. No one has been publicly charged in connection with his disappearance, no remains have been recovered, and no publicly disclosed physical evidence explains how he left the school grounds. This episode examines the brief interval between Michael’s walk toward the playground and his father’s arrival, the evidence investigators have pursued, and the questions that remain.

On June 27, 1995, Jodi Huisentruit, a twenty-seven-year-old morning anchor for KIMT-TV in Mason City, Iowa, failed to arrive for work. Her producer, Amy Kuns, called shortly after 4:00 a.m. Jodi answered, said she had overslept, and said she would come to the station. She never arrived. At 7:13 that morning, KIMT requested a welfare check at Jodi’s apartment. Police found her red Mazda Miata still in the parking lot, along with scattered personal belongings, a bent car key, and evidence they considered consistent with a struggle and probable abduction. Jodi has never been found. This episode follows the documented timeline from her final day, through the unanswered interval between her phone call and the missed broadcast, to decades of searches, witness reports, forensic work, grand-jury activity, and public scrutiny of possible suspects. It separates what the evidence establishes from what remains unproven, including reports of screams, a possible white van, stalking concerns, and theories involving an acquaintance who was investigated but never charged. Jodi was declared legally dead in 2001, but Iowa authorities continue to list her as missing and the investigation remains open.

On September 20, 1988, nineteen-year-old Tara Leigh Calico left her home near Belen, New Mexico, for a routine bicycle ride along New Mexico State Road 47. She was riding her mother’s neon-pink Huffy bicycle because her own was damaged. Witnesses saw Tara heading north toward home at approximately 11:45 that morning. Within a short period, Tara and the highly distinctive bicycle disappeared. Neither has been recovered.

Nine months later, a Polaroid photograph found in Port St. Joe, Florida, appeared to show a dark-haired young woman and a boy in troubling circumstances. Tara’s mother believed the woman was her daughter. But expert comparisons produced conflicting conclusions, and modern Valencia County investigators say the woman was not Tara.

This episode follows the documented final hours of Tara’s ride, the uncertain roadside clues, the photograph that changed the public story of the case, and the later investigation that returned attention to Valencia County. Investigators now believe Tara encountered local people and did not survive, but no public prosecution has resolved the case. Tara’s remains and her bicycle are still missing.
