The night of December 11th into the morning of December 12th 1992 had been an all night party hop for 20 year old Arnold Archambeau, his 19 year old girlfriend Ruby Bruguier, and Ruby's 17 year old cousin Tracy Dion. However, what had been a fun night of partying would come to a misfortunate end at approximately 6 am, when Arnold drove through an icy intersection in their hometown of Lake Andes, South Dakota, losing control and causing the car to flip upside down in a ditch. When the car came to a rest in the ditch, Arnold was nowhere to be seen, and Ruby and Tracy were trapped inside the vehicle. Ruby managed to break free and get out, but for unknown reasons, left without helping her cousin Tracy. A short time later, a passerby noticed the overturned vehicle, and came down to help Tracy. Arnold and Ruby however, had disappeared. The couple would be missing for the next 3 months, when in March of 1993 the decomposed body of Ruby Bruguier was spotted in the ditch just a short distance from where the car had crashed. The next day, after draining the ditch, Arnold's body was found just 15 feet away from where Ruby had been found. Their causes of death were determined to be exposure, but there would be factors that would call that ruling into question. How were they found so close by in an area that had been thoroughly searched after the accident? How was Arnold not in the same stage of decomposition as Ruby? And was there any truth to a supposed sighting of Arnold only a few weeks after the accident?

I continue my discussion with Alison and Karlin from the Re-Solved Mysteries podcast and we talk the remaining three episodes from volume two of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. We talk about the way "Tsunami Spirits" tugged at our heart strings, the way we were absolutely engrossed and baffled with "The Lady in the Lake", and how hopeful we are for a happy ending to "Stolen Kids". Plus, we have some extra fun discussion in regards to the original Unsolved Mysteries.

In this special episode, I am joined by Alison and Karlin of the Re-Solved Mysteries podcast to discuss the second volume of episodes of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. In part one, we discuss the episodes "Washington Insider Murder" about Jack Wheeler (which might NOT be a murder at all), "A Death in Oslo" about the mystery surrounding 'Jennifer Fairgate', and "Death Row Fugitive" about wanted fugitive Lester Eubanks where we wonder HOW IN THE ACTUAL F**K he had the opportunity to escape the way he did!!!

In this special Halloween episode of Still Unknown, I am talking about one of my favorite paranormal stories, the legend of the Black Eyed Children. There's a chance you've heard someone on the internet recount their encounter with a black eyed kid. There are many stories out there, but they all share many of the same details: someone has an unexpected encounter, either at home, or in their car, from a child ranging in age from approximately 6-17 years old. Sometimes they're in pairs, sometimes just there's a single one. But they all have the same objective: they want you to let them in. And their eyes appear to be bottomless pools of blackness. You don't want to let them in, but you're also paralyzed by fear and an overwhelming sense of dread. You're not exactly sure what they want from you....you only know that whatever it may be, it's going to turn out horrible for you.

Valrico, Florida, a suburb of Tampa, is considered one of the safest places to live in the state, as well as being among the top one third of safest cities in the United States. It has a nice mixed feeling of both the suburbs and a rural community, making it an ideal place to raise a family. It is just the place that Steve and Marlene Aisenberg were looking to settle in and raise their family, which included 8 year old William, 4 year old Monica, and the newest addition to the family, 5 month old Sabrina. But the family's sense of safety and security would be no more on the morning of Monday, November 24, 1997. That morning, Marlene woke up to find that the door which led to the garage was wide open. Feeling a sudden wave of fear, she went to check on her children. William and Monica were both safe in their beds. Sabrina however, was missing from her crib. Marlene then called the police to report Sabrina missing. From the moment the first responding officer arrived on the scene, primary focus in the case of the missing infant was aimed at Steve and Marlene. While it's totally commonplace that the parents would be the first investigated in a case like this, both police and the public were skeptical about the couple, with many believing they were showing strange behavior, and also seem cold and detached. There was never any evidence to charge the Aisenbergs in Sabrina's disappearance, and the couple moved to Maryland in 1999, although to this day, they still are looking for answers in the disappearance of Baby Sabrina.

24 year old Jim Kimball was described by his family as shy and sensitive. He had also been having serious mental health struggles, which had been brought on by him being unable to cope with his father's sudden death when Jim was only 13. While he would take medication, he would also suffer multiple relapses and have multiple hospital visits over the years. It would be Easter weekend in 1993, when after another anger outburst, that Jim Kimball would walk off and disappear. There have only been a very few potential sightings in the years since, but to this day 27 years later, Jim Kimball's true fate is unknown.

Jayson Artis just wanted to show his younger brother a good time. The 20 year old college student had his younger brother visiting him for the week when he decided to take him down to Tijuana, Mexico on the night of August 1, 1998 for a night of partying. While in Tijuana, Jayson becomes heavily intoxicated and also has multiple run ins with Tijuana police. Towards the end of the night when they are looking to leave, Jayson's younger brother loses track of him. Another friend who came with them claims that the last time he saw Jayson was in the back of a police car. Not long after, in the early morning hours on August 2, Jayson is found dead on a deserted road in a rundown area of town. The Tijuana police determine that Jayson died after being struck by a vehicle and rule the death a hit and run accident. But multiple questions would arise: Why weren't Jayson's injuries consistent with being struck by a vehicle? Why did the Tijuana police have no record of detaining Jayson when his friend is adamant that he last saw Jayson being driven away in the back of a police cruiser? And how did Jayson end up dead in the area that he was found?

Jessica Easterly Durning had finally had enough abuse from her husband Justin and was ready to leave him. On August 12, 2019, she talked with her friend Maria, and made plans for Maria to come get her the following day. When Maria didn't hear from Jessica the following day, she assumed that Jessica had changed her mind. However, she suddenly was unable to get a hold of her friend. The day after that, Justin sent a message to Maria from Jessica's Facebook account asking if she had heard from Jessica, that he had not seen her since noon that day. While Justin was apprehensive to contact police to report his wife missing, Maria immediately took action herself, contacting police as well as Jessica's family. The following week, on August 22, Jessica's body was discovered just 2 and a half blocks from her home, badly decomposed. While she had suffered great bodily injury, the coroner to this day has her death listed as undetermined. What happened to Jessica Easterly? Did Justin murder her in a rage after finding out she intended to leave him? And why haven't authorities been taking Jessica's case seriously?
Jessica's and Maria's texts read by Alison from the "Joey & Alison: Mental Health Warriors" podcast.

For 20 year old Vanessa Guillen, it had been a dream of hers to join the US Army and proudly serve her country. A native of Houston, Texas, Vanessa joined the army after graduating from high school, and was stationed at Fort Hood, nearly 200 miles from home. Around the beginning of April of this year however, Vanessa's mother began to notice a change in her daughter's behavior when she would speak with her. The normally happy and outgoing Vanessa had suddenly become withdrawn and wasn't herself. When asked what was wrong, Vanessa confided in her mother that one of her sergeants had been sexually harassing her. When her mother tried to get a name for the sergeant so she could call in a complaint, Vanessa wouldn't reveal it out of fear that she would get in trouble, and she just promised her mother that she would take care of it herself. On the afternoon of Wednesday, April 22, Vanessa Guillen would disappear with nothing more than the clothes on her back. Her family has been searching for her ever since with the added help of a congresswoman and even a few celebrities. But two months later, no trace of Vanessa has been found, and now foul play is suspected.

Mitrice Richardson was a beautiful 24 year old woman who had just graduated from Cal State, Fullerton with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a 4.0 gpa, with plans to become a child psychologist. She was also beginning to exhibit odd behavior and wasn't herself. On the evening of September 16, 2009, Mitrice was driving in Malibu, California, which was 40 miles from her home in Los Angeles, when she made a spur of the moment decision to stop at a restaurant for dinner, a decision which would have a lasting impact on Mitrice and her loved ones. After acting odd all throughout dinner and then attempting to leave the restaurant without paying, the police are called and Mitrice is arrested and taken into custody. When her mother calls the following morning with plans to come pick up Mitrice, she's distressed to learn that Mitrice had been released several hours prior in the dead of night. Her car had been impounded, and she had no phone, no money, no way of getting home, and was in an area she was completely unfamiliar with. Aside from a bizarre sighting later that morning, no trace of Mitrice Richardson was found for nearly a year, until on August 9, 2010, her remains were found in a canyon. Police concluded she had been in a manic state when she entered the canyon and died from exposure, but the family continues to fight for answers. How could someone in a state such as Mitrice was that night have just been allowed to leave in an area she was unfamiliar with, with no reliable way of finding her way home? And how did she truly end up where she would?

26 year old Audrey Moran left her sister's home in Coachella, California on the evening of May 10, 2017 to go pick up her boyfriend, 28 year old Jonathan Reynoso in the town of Brawley and drive him to his home in Palm Desert. The following day, Audrey's family would make numerous attempts to get in touch with her, but after receiving no response, would report her missing. On the morning of May 12, her vehicle was found abandoned on the side of I-10, west of Oak Valley Parkway in Beaumont, California. The vehicle appeared to be in working order but there was no sign of Audrey or Jonathan. A full investigation was launched into the couple's disappearance and 3 main theories would emerge. The first would be speculation that the couple ran away together. The 2nd would involve another man that Audrey was believed to have had a relationship with. The 3rd would be that foul play from another source is possible. It's been 3 years since Audrey and Jonathan vanished. Their cell phones haven't been able to be tracked anywhere, there has been zero activity with their financial accounts, and no other trace of the couple has been found.

Charlotte Pollis was a loving 28 year old mother to her two young children she had with her husband Paul. However, she wasn't happy with her marriage to him. On March 12, 1994, Charlotte would disappear. Paul claimed he had taken the two children out for a day of running errands while his wife tried to rest off her recent illness, and she wasn't home when he returned that afternoon. However, his account of the day would be contradicted in multiple ways and would lead to a feud between his side of the family and Charlotte's side of the family. Despite all the suspicions against Paul, and the fact that he's had several run ins with the law in the years since, he has never been charged in connection with Charlotte's disappearance, and no trace of Charlotte has ever been found.
Big thank you to my friend Myles from the "Forensic Myles" podcast for joining me in this episode!

Brian Shaffer was a 27 year old medical student at Ohio State University. It was the start of spring break on March 31, 2006, and Brian had plans to go on a trip to Miami in a couple of days with his girlfriend, a fellow Ohio State medical student. The night of March 31 however, he would celebrate the start of spring break by having dinner with his father, Randy, before meeting up with a friend to go bar hopping later on that night. Brian met up with his friend at a bar called The Ugly Tuna Saloona, and the two moved along to several other bars over time that night, before meeting another friend and going back to the Ugly Tuna Saloona. At some point, Brian becomes separated from his friends, and at 2 am when they still don't spot Brian leaving, his friends assumed he left without telling them and went home on his own. However, over the next couple of days, his father and girlfriend attempt to contact Brian multiple times, but hear no answer. It is when Brian doesn't show up for the flight to Miami that he is reported missing. It would be then that a truly baffling missing persons investigation would be launched by the Columbus Police Department. When checking the surveillance footage from the Ugly Tuna Saloona, Brian is last seen on there talking to two women out front of the bar, before he turns and heads back inside. There are cameras at each entrance and exit for the bar, and Brian never shows up on any surveillance again. It's as if he literally vanished into thin air. Different theories would emerge as to what happened to Brian Shaffer. His mother had recently passed away and he was dealing with some depression because of it. Could it be that caused him to commit suicide? Could he have snuck off to start a new life somewhere else? Or could harm have come to him inside the bar, and he was disposed of without being seen? 14 years have passed, and no trace of Brian Shaffer has ever been found.

Don Henry and Kevin Ives were two teenage boys from Bryant, Arkansas and were the best of friends with each other. On the night of Saturday August 22, 1987, the two boys met with a group of friends hanging out in a parking lot before going back to Don's house. At just after midnight, the two boys left again to do some night hunting in an area along some train tracks behind Don's house. It was the last time the two boys would be seen alive. Just a few hours later, a train was coming down the tracks when the operator noticed two bodies laying completely still across the tracks. Despite all efforts to stop the train, it was unable to and the bodies were run over and badly mangled. The bodies turned out to be those of Kevin and Don. Their deaths were ruled to be accidental, despite strong evidence suggesting they were murdered. Deeper looks into this case would take those looking down a rabbit hole of corruption, politics and the drug trade of the 1980s. Over 30 years later, the case of what exactly happened to Don Henry and Kevin Ives in the early morning hours of August 23, 1987 are still a mystery.

Kristi Krebs was described as a cheerful and upbeat young woman with aspirations to become a chef. On April 30, 1990, she was driving around aimlessly for hours while daydreaming when she became lost on a country road and her car eventually became stuck in the mud. This incident would lead to Kristi having a psychotic break for which she was hospitalized. Her state would eventually improve however with the help of medication and therapy, and she went back to living her life as she had before. For the next 3 years, all seemed to be well with Kristi until August 9, 1993, when a very similar incident occurred where Kristi again became stuck in the mud on a country road after driving around aimlessly. This time, she would walk away and disappear. Multiple sightings have been reported since, but nearly 27 years later, Kristi Krebs still has not been found.

Christi Jo Nichols was a loving 22 year old mother to her 2 young children. She was also trapped in an abusive relationship at the hands of her husband Mark. She had been taking steps to leave him with her children when on the night of December 10, 1987, the couple left their two children with a babysitter while they went out for the night. By the next day, Christi Jo Nichols would be a missing person. Suspicion would immediately fall on Mark Nichols due to his abusive behavior and his own accounts which didn't corroborate with the accounts of others. Many in law enforcement believe that Mark is responsible for Christi's disappearance, but 32 years later, Mark has never been charged in connection with the disappearance, and no trace of Christi Jo Nichols has ever been found.
