  • On the night of April 4, 1991, Angela Hammond, a 20-year-old from Clinton, Missouri, vanished while conversing with her boyfriend, Rob Shafer, on a pay phone. Recounting her encounter, she mentioned a suspicious man in a green pickup truck circling the block, who eventually stopped next to her, prompting her to scream and drop the phone. Shafer rushed to the scene, but his attempt to chase the pickup resulted in damaging his car’s transmission. Initially suspected by the police, Shafer was later exonerated when witnesses corroborated his account and provided details about the truck’s sightings.

    In 1988, Annie Laurie Hearin was a 73-year-old southern socialite who vanished under bizarre circumstances. Hearin’s body has never been found and she was declared legally dead in 1991. No one has officially been charged with her kidnapping.

    Rogest Cain was a family man & had always hoped to create a better life for his 7 children. In 1958, he moved from Mississippi to Los Angeles, California. There he was able to give his children advantages that he never had. His children stated that he was always a loving, caring father to them. By 1986, Rogest was 62 years old & worked for the Department of Parks and Recreation. On the afternoon of February 18th, 1986, he left his home, telling his sister that he was going to a hardware store. However, he never returned home.

    Come along as Mark and Laura discuss these shocking and confusing cases.
