Esther “Lizette” Galez and Karen Grajeda
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
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.

Sodder Family Interview with Miranda Weeks, Great Great Granddaughter of Jennie and George Sodder
At around 1:00 am on December 25, 1945, Jennie Sodder woke up to smoke pouring into her bedroom. She woke up her husband, George, and they started evacuating the house of their nine children. By the time the fire took over the Sodder residence, only Jennie, George, and four of their children made it outside safely.
George and two of his sons frantically tried to get into the house to save the remaining children, but they couldn’t. When George went to fill up a bucket with water to start extinguishing the flames, the water was frozen, when he went to grab their ladder to get his children from the top story, the ladder was missing; when he went to drive his trucks to the second story window, neither would start despite having worked just the day before. And when they tried to call the fire department for help, no one responded for hours.
The only thing the family could do was watch as their home burned to the ground. Hours later, after the smoldering ashes were put out, a group of people began searching for the children’s remains, but nothing was found. Not a single bone was found in the ashes. The fire was quickly ruled an accident, and investigators told the family the children’s bodies had burned up completely in the fire, leaving nothing of them behind, not even their bones.
But between the mishaps, while trying to put out the fire, threats made against the family before the fire, and the strange behavior of authorities throughout the investigation, Jennie and George Sodder refused to believe five of their children were killed in the home. They were convinced their children didn’t die in the fire, and they spent the rest of their lives trying to prove it.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Miranda Weeks, great great granddaughter of Jennie and George Sodder at 5SodderKids@gmail.com

The Boca Raton Mall Kidnappings
In 2007, the affluent community of Boca Raton, Florida, was gripped
by terror when a series of brutal attacks and kidnappings struck the Town
Center Mall. Over the span of just nine months, three separate incidents
targeted mothers shopping in the middle of the day.
While some investigators have said that there is a hunter of women on the loose, a cold-blooded, calculating sociopath, nearly 20 years later, there’s still debate about whether all the crimes are related.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County at 1-800-458-TIPS.

Patricia Meehan
On the night of April 20, 1989, a desolate stretch of highway near Circle, Montana, was plunged into chaos. After a head-on collision, Patricia Meehan emerged from the wreckage, dazed but seemingly unharmed. She was not frantic or crying for help. Instead, she was unnervingly silent.
Patricia then climbed a fence, watched the aftermath for a moment, and walked away into the Montana night, sparking a decades-long mystery
fueled by thousands of sightings across the country.
Anyone with information is asked to call the McCone County Sheriff’s
Office at 406-485-3405.
