It’s a crisp November night in upstate New York.
A 12-year-old boy named Jaliek Rainwalker spends the evening at a house in the small town of Greenwich. By morning, he’s gone.
And no one has seen him since.
Jaliek’s story is one of resilience and heartbreak — a child who had already survived a turbulent childhood, moving through foster homes before finally being adopted, only to vanish under mysterious and troubling circumstances in 2007.
His disappearance sparked years of questions, searches, and speculation.
Was Jaliek a runaway, as his adoptive father claimed? Or was something much darker at play?
WHERE IS JALIEK RAINWALKER?

Jared drove from Louisiana to Illinois the night of November 4, 2023.
His movements once he reached Illinois were strange, and he never made it to his intended destination.
The morning of November 6, 2023, authorities were alerted of an abandoned truck down a dirt road near the Wabash River in Indiana.
It was Jared's. Both of his loyal dogs were waiting in the truck. Two of the truck doors were wide open. But there was no Jared.

On April 26, 2010, 16-year old Ali Lowitzer got off her school bus just before 3:00 p.m., with the intention of walking the half-mile to the Burger Barn to pick up her paycheck.
But Ali never made it to the Burger Barn.
In fact, Ali was never seen or heard from again.
There have been very few clues in her case since 2010, but her parents have not given up the search for answers.

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA: On December 30, 2019, 22-year-old Tonee Turner got off the bus near her home- as she always did and vanished into the night.
An hour or two later, a cyclist found a bag, a pair of shoes, and a ceramic vase on the side of the Homestead Grays Bridge. These were Tonee's belongings. He took the bag, which contained a cell phone, and left the shoes and vase behind.
He contacted Tonee's family letting them know what he had.
While many feared she jumped, others point out some inconsistencies as to why that doesn't really make sense.
The search for Tonee turned up few clues, and to this day, Tonee Turner remains missing.
Where is Tonee Marie Turner?

Six Bizarre Disappearances out of Connecticut
In August 2018, Kylie went missing from a friend's home in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Also in August, a young man- Zac Hebert- vanished from the same area, possibly the same house.
But that wasn't all.
Another woman would vanish as well- Crystal Beal.
On Halloween that same year, Zac Hebert's body was found in a shallow grave.
All three cases remain unsolved, and it is unclear if they are connected.
Where is Kylie Hartman? Where is Crystal Beal?
And who killed Zac Hebert?

In 2023, within a few months' timeframe, two young girls would vanish without a trace from Kingsport, Tennessee.
Hollynn Snapp, just 19 years old, and Layla Santanello, age 20.
The girls have a similar background and mutual friends, but weren't known to hang out together themselves.
There are some possible persons of interest- maybe in both cases- but no solid leads as to their whereabouts.
Are their disappearances a coincidence? Or are they connected?
Where are these missing girls of Kingsport, Tennessee?

Billy Smolinski Jr. was a likable, friendly, and outgoing guy.
In 2004, at 31 years old, Billy had just broken up with his girlfriend but made plans to spend the following weekend with one of his exes. He was upset over the breakup, but looking forward to a weekend out to help get his mind off of things.
But that weekend wouldn't happen.
A bunch of odd things would begin to happen. Billy allegedly asked a neighbor to feed his dog while he went out of town for a few days. But he left behind his truck and belongings. His family said he made no mention to them that he was leaving town, and they spoke regularly. He had also just returned from a trip to Florida.
The family knew something was wrong, but the police refused to investigate. Strange clues would start stacking up, leading the family to believe something bad had happened.
In 2009, they began working on 'Billy's Law'. This would offer, in part, a change to the databases and set up a central system for missing person reports, a system that all law enforcement have access to.
In December 2022, the bill was finally signed into law.
But we still don't know where Billy Smolinski is.
Although I'm certain that someone knows something.

In August of 2019, a grandmother in Hanson, Massachusetts vanished into thin air.

On August 9, 2019, Sandra's daughter, Laina, showed up at Sandra's house to drop off her three boys for the day, as they had previously arranged.
Sandra was nowhere to be found.
There were some reports of an argument at the home the night of August 7th, but this wasn't confirmed.
If it's true, who was this woman arguing with? Sandra lived alone, and no one could be certain who it might have been.

On June 30, 2022, Michelle's mother received the worst news. Her daughter's boyfriend had texted her to tell her that Michelle was missing, and he hadn't seen her since the day before. He had just filed a police report and he wanted her to know. Michelle had also left behind all her personal belongings, including her beloved dog, Ava.
No dog lover ever leaves their dog behind.
Searches of the area turned up no sign of Michelle anywhere.
Michelle was an avid hiker, and she had been wearing hiking sandals. Could she have left to go on a hike?
We are nearing the anniversary of Michelle's disappearance with still very few clues as to her whereabouts.
Where is Michelle Bernstein-Schultz?
