Voices for Justice

In a quiet, gated community in Georgia, Russell and Shirley Dermond seemed to embody the perfect picture of retirement—an 88-year-old World War II veteran and his 87-year-old wife, spending their golden years on the serene shores of Lake Oconee. But in May of 2014, that tranquility was shattered. Russell was found brutally murdered in his garage, decapitated. His head was missing from the scene, and Shirley? She had vanished without a trace.

On Saturday, May 13, 2000, in Adelaide, South Australia, a mother and her teenage daughter were last seen leaving their home at 2:30 a.m. We don’t know why or what happened to them after that. What we do know is that one of them was murdered, and the other remains missing to this day. But thanks to a recent discovery just a few weeks before recording this episode, rewards totaling over a million dollars and new technology, investigators are more hopeful than ever that this case can and will be solved.

On a cold morning in 2011, Julia Biryukova pulled her car to the side of the road, claiming it ran out of gas. She says she left her 2-year-old son, Sky, asleep in the vehicle while she took her 4-year-old daughter to get help. When she returned, Sky was gone. What followed was a case that has continued to stun the local community and, really, the nation for nearly 15 years. 2-year-old Sky Metalwala was reported missing from Bellevue, Washington, on November 6, 2011. At that time, he was 2’10” tall and weighed approximately 30lbs. He is biracial with black hair and brown eyes.
