In this powerful episode of The Last Clue, we examine two missing child cases that shook America and exposed both the promise and the failures of the systems meant to protect the most vulnerable. We revisit the unsolved murder of Amber Hagerman, the 9-year-old whose abduction led to the creation of the AMBER Alert, now one of the most critical tools in missing children investigations. Then, in a gripping second half, we reveal the disturbing truth behind the disappearance of Ryan “RJ” Davis, the Oklahoma boy found alive after a massive multi-agency search that uncovered allegations of abuse, neglect, and institutional breakdown. With exclusive reporting, verified facts, and firsthand family accounts, this episode confronts hard questions about child welfare, accountability, and how warning signs can be missed. If you follow true crime podcasts, missing persons cases, child abduction stories, or investigations into systemic failure, this is an essential listen. This is not just a story of tragedy—it’s a demand for answers, justice, and reform.

In this episode of The Last Clue, we discuss the disappearances of Camila Mendoza Olmos and Angelique Johnson, two young women who vanished from South Texas as public concern intensifies over dozens of bodies recovered from Houston-area bayous. From there, we unveil The Last Clue’s Top 10 Cases of 2025, revisiting the homicide of Joe Pal, the decades-old murder of Melissa Ann Moore, the ongoing pursuit of Travis Decker, and the haunting disappearance of Trevor Deely.

This episode also examines the cases that shaped national conversation — including Valeria Marquez, Missy Bevers, Cullen Davis, Karen Read, the Idaho Student Murders, Sunshine Stewart, Linda Meteer, and Morgan Geyser — revealing where justice moved forward and where it stalled. With discussion of powerful modern forensic breakthroughs from Othram, historical documentation from Oklahoma Cold Cases, and unanswered questions that refuse to stay buried, The Last Clue confronts a chilling truth: in many of these cases, the answers may already exist — and someone is choosing not to act.
