This week, Jaymie discusses the devastating disappearance of Michaela Garecht. Michaela Garecht was only nine years old when she was kidnapped in the middle of the day on November 9, 1988 in Hayward, CA. Around 10:00 that morning, Michaela and a friend, Katrina Rodriguez, hopped on their scooters and headed to the local Rainbow Market, to grab a snack and a soda. When she returned for her scooter, it had been moved across the parking lot, and when she went to go retrieve it, she was abducted. The initial police report included an incorrect description of the suspect, which put a damper on the first couple of days of the investigation, however thousands of tips came in. However, this has never been enough to find her remains.
Jessica covers the brutal murder of Barbara Beach Hamburg. On March 3, 2010, single mother Barbara Hamburg was found murdered outside of her home in upper-middle class Madison, CT. Her daughter and sister were the ones that found her body. Barbara's son, Madison deep dives into his mom's murder on the show Murder on Middle Beach, which you can watch on HBO Max.
