  • Kristen Modafferi
    Feb 26 2026
    In 1997, 17-year-old Kristen finished her first year of college at North Carolina State University, but after classes ended, she had no plans to enjoy a lazy summer. Instead, she devised a plan to take another class across the country in California… A few short months to enjoy the Golden State and gain some independence as she entered adulthood. She was smart, ambitious and had a solid plan. But just 23 days after she landed in California, she disappeared. Kristen Modafferi was 18 years old when she was last seen at the Crocker Galleria Mall in San Francisco, California, on June 23, 1997. She is white with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5’6” and weighed approximately 140 lbs. She may have been carrying a green Jansport brand backpack with a black mesh pocket on the front.

  • My New Podcast: The Final Hours with Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole
    Feb 25 2026
    Today, I'm sharing an episode of The Final Hours, a new Crime House podcast hosted by me, Sarah Turney, and Kourtney Laymance. Listeners of Voices for Justice know how much the framing of a story matters. The Final Hours applies that same scrutiny to disappearance cases by focusing on the hours before someone goes missing. Each episode examines the routines, timelines, and details that often get overlooked once a case enters the public narrative. Together, Kourtney and I bring lived experience into every case, looking not only at what happened, but what led up to it. Listen to and Follow The Final Hours on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen. New episodes drop every Monday.

  • Alexis Patterson Replay
    Feb 20 2026
    On the morning May 3rd, 2002, 7-year-old Alexis Patterson was very excited about going to school. Alexis was already a good student, she got straight A’s and prided herself on her perfect attendance record. But this day was going to be very special. The night before, she and her mother Ayanna Patterson, purchased cupcakes for her to bring to her first-grade class. But when her mother realized Alexis had not finished her homework, she told her she was no longer allowed to bring the treats to her class. Frustrated, Alexis packed up and got ready to make the short walk to Hi-Mount Community School. The school was just 242 steps from her front door, but her mother or stepfather usually walked with her anyway. That morning, her stepfather LaRon Bourgeois walked with her. When they got to the end of their street, they met a crossing guard who walked Alexis to the other side of the street to the school. What happened next and even parts of what I’ve already told you is highly debated among LaRon Bourgeois, witnesses at the school and law enforcement. What we know for sure is that Alexis went missing that day. To complicate matters further in 2016, 14 years after Alexis went missing, a man came forward claiming his ex-wife was the missing girl. Since then, Ayanna Patterson has believed her daughter is not missing but alive and well, unable to believe the truth of her identity. But some detectives are certain that the answers about what happened to Alexis will be found closer to home. Alexis Patterson was 7 years old when she went missing from Milwaukee Wisconsin on May 3rd, 2002. At the time she was 3ft 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 42 pounds. She was last seen wearing a red hooded jacket with a gray stripe on the sleeves, a purple shirt, light colored blue jeans, and white Nike tennis shoes. She wore her hair in two braids pulled back into one ponytail and was carrying a pink "Barbie" book bag. She has black hair and brown eyes. She also has a scar under her right eye and a bump on her left pinky finger. There is a $10k reward being offered for information that leads investigators to Alexis. Anyone with information is urged to call their local FBI office. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.Gov. This episode originally aired on May 5, 2022.

  • Esther “Lizette” Galaz and Karen Grajeda
    Jan 30 2026
    We are going to step back to the mid 1990s in Tucson, Arizona, to examine two cases that have haunted the city’s south side for three decades. In December 1994, 6-year-old Lizette went missing from her apartment complex. About 13 months later, 7-year-old Karen Grajeda went missing from her apartment complex just 8 miles away. On the surface, these might seem like isolated incidents, but as local investigators and the FBI began to look deeper, they discovered a disturbing pattern, and they were soon linked to three additional abductions of young girls in the same area between 1993 and 1994. Anyone with information in either of these cases is asked to call the Tucson Police Department at 520-791-4444. There is a $20,000 reward being offered in each case.

  • Leonard Dirickson
    Jan 22 2026
    On March 14, 1998, at a farmhouse in Strong City, Oklahoma, 39-year-old Leonard Dirickson sat down for breakfast with his teenage son. As they were cleaning up, they were interrupted by a mysterious stranger in a truck, inquiring about a horse for sale. It had been a tough few years for their family farm, so Leonard told his son he was going to leave with the man in hopes of selling one of their horses on another property and that he’d be back that afternoon. But Leonard remains missing to this day in one of the most puzzling cases in Oklahoma history. Leonard Neal Dirickson was 39 years old when he was last seenon March 14, 1998, at his home in Strong City, Oklahoma. He was seen getting into a newer or possibly a 1994 white Ford F150 pickup truck with an unknown man. He told his son that they were headed to Mobeetie, Texas, and Elk City, Oklahoma, to look at horses. Leonard is white, about 6 feet tall, and weighed approximately 200 pounds at the time of his disappearance, with brown hair and a red handlebar mustache. He has grey eyes and a small scar under one eye. He was last seen wearing a brown cap with a green bill and an ACCO feeds logo, a faded black Carhartt brand coat, green jeans, and black and brown shoes or boots. The unidentified man Leonard was last seen with has been described as white, about 6’2”, around 40 years old, and approximately 210lbs with a reddish-brown beard, a long nose, dark eyes, and a thick, round face. He was seen wearing blue jeans, a striped western shirt, a blue jacket, and a cap with the words “No Fear” on the front. He may be right-handed and smokes cigarettes, possibly Marlboro Lights. A sketch has been created and circulated for further reference. Anyone with information is asked to call the Roger Mills County Sheriff’s Office at 580-497-2417.
