In 1981 Cindy Anderson was 20 years old and working as a secretary at The Law Offices of James Rabbitt and Richard Neller in Toledo, Ohio. She was a devout employee. Most days she worked alone in the morning. She’d open the office, prepare the lawyer’s desks for the day and field incoming phone calls. August 4th, 1981, was no different. By noon two lawyers arrived at the office expecting to see Cindy in her office as per usual. But Cindy was gone. The door was locked, there was no note, and Cindy’s car was still sitting in the parking lot. It literally still smelt like nail polish remover in the building. So, they figured she’d just been picked up by a friend and had gone to lunch for the day. But when Cindy wasn’t back in a few hours, they grew very concerned. See Cindy had been experiencing a lot of harassment before this. Someone was making odd calls to the office, and someone had spray painted the words I love you Cindy with the initials GW on a wall directly in her line of sight from the law office. On top of that, Cindy was having recurring nightmares that she was abducted and killed by a strange man.It got so bad, Cindy asked for an emergency button to be installed at her desk and her bosses instructed her to lock all of the doors when she was working in the office alone. So as the hours passed, they grew increasingly worried. And when they found a romance novel open to a page about the main character being abducted at knifepoint, they knew it was time to call the police. It’s been over 40 years since Cindy went missing and authorities admit they have never been close to solving the case. Between stalkers, serial killers, and suspicion on one of Cindy’s bosses, no charges have ever been filed. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t still hope that we can find answers about what happened to her. Cindy Andersen went missing from Toledo, Ohio in 1981. At the time of her disappearance, she was 5’4 and weighed 115 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She also has a chicken pox scar on her forehead and a scar on her right knee that looks like a fishhook. She was last seen wearing a white V-neck dress with pink pinstripes, brown pantyhose, and beige open-toed sandals with an ankle strap. Anyone with information about Cindy is urged to contact the Toledo Police Department at 419-245-3340. For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, supportthe show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice Voices for Justice is a podcast that uses adult language and discusses sensitive andpotentially triggering topics including violence, abuse, and murder.

Ryan Larsen was 11 years old when he walked out of his elementary school in La Vista, Nebraska on May 17, 2021. This is something he’d done before. He was known to leave school and hide when he became frustrated. The La Vista Police Department said they’d recovered Ryan at least half a dozen times before this. So, when he walked out on May 17, they figured it would be the same routine. They’d go check Ryan’s hiding spots and find him in 1-2 hours tops.But this time was different. It has now been over a year since Ryan went missing and the La Vista Police department says they basically have no idea what happened to him.It seems like they only have a handful of major leads right now, Ryan’s umbrella that was found next to a dumpster nearly a month after he went missing, some very blurry surveillance video and Ryan’s report of there being a strange man at his school just 2 weeks before he disappeared. Ryan is almost 13 now. He is a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes. When he went missing, he was 11 years old and approximately 5ft 8inches tall. He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and an old navy shirt. He was having issues with acne on his forehead that was quite noticeable. So, it’s possible he still has acne or acne scars. Authorities have asked that if you see Ryan, you do not call his name. But instead keep your distance and call 911. If you have any information about Ryan’s disappearance you can call Sarpy County Crime Stoppers at 402-592-7867.A special shoutout to John Lordan at LordanARTS for connecting me with Taylor Larsen.

Like so many people in the US, 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was struggling with housing insecurity. She worked at Best Buy in San Francisco, California and would often travel up to 4 hours a day to commute to work from wherever she was staying at the time. Sometimes the commute was so bad, Nicole would just crash on a couch until her next shift. This meant she would have to leave her two-year-old daughter Arianna with a babysitter for extended periods of time. This was the reality of trying to make ends meet for Nicole. Eventually, one of her coworkers noticed what Nicole was going through just to get to work each day and offered for her and Arianna to move in with her. Nicole was ecstatic. She scraped together enough money to get Arianna a new bed and told the babysitter she was coming to pick up her daughter. But she was met with resistance from the babysitter, saying they were out of town taking Arianna to Disneyland, she’d have to grab her daughter another day. Nicole was upset, obviously because she was ready to pick up her daughter but also because they didn’t tell her they’d be taking Arianna out of town. According to Nicole’s new roommate Goyette Williams, the plan was for Nicole to pick up her daughter on April 3rd, 2016. But on the night of April 1st, Nicole withdrew a large amount of money from her bank account, says she was going to meet the babysitter and would be back in 5 minutes. A week later, Nicole’s body was found in a local park. Nicole’s killer has never been caught and Arianna remains missing to this day.32-year-old Nicole Fitts was found murdered in McLaren Park in San Francisco, California on April 8th 2016. She was a black female with black hair and brown eyes. Nicole’s daughter, Arianna Fitts was last seen in Oakland California in February 2016. When she went missing, she was 2 years old, weighed approximately 45 pounds and was 2 feet tall. She is a black female with black hair and brown eyes. As of recording this episode, Arianna Fitts would now be 8 years old. The San Francisco Police Department is offering a $250,000 reward for information about Nicole and Arianna. And Best Buy is offering an additional $10,000 reward. If you see Arianna, call 911 immediately.

The last confirmed sighting of missing child Harmony Montgomery was in October 2019 when the Manchester Police Department in New Hampshire responded to a call at her home. She was only 5 years old at the time.

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.

Today I am discussing the disappearances of Christopher Dansby and Shane Walker from New York City in 1989. These incidents are so similar that putting them together just makes sense. Both were black, male, toddlers, taken from The Martin Luther King Jr. Park 3 months apart, around the same time of day, on the same day of the week. Not only that, but their families also lived in the same building of the Martin Luther King Jr. Towers just 2 floors apart from each other. And perhaps most chilling of all, both toddlers were last seen playing with the same set of children before they went missing.Christopher Dansby went missing from The Martin Luther King Jr playground in New York City on May 18th, 1989, when he was just 2 years old. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, floral print shirt, blue jeans, and green and white sneakers. Christopher is a black male with black hair and brown eyes. He has a figure 8 scar on his thigh. He would be in his early 30’s now.Shane Walker went missing from the same park on August 10th, 1989, when he was just 19 months old. He was last seen wearing a blue and white shirt, light blue pants, and white LA gear sneakers. Shane is a black male with black hair and brown eyes. He has a scar on his chin and a birthmark shaped like a liver on his shoulder. He would also be in his early 30’s now. Anyone with information about the disappearance of either child is urged to contact The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1800-843-5678 or the New York City Police Department at 212-694-7781.For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, supportthe show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice Voices for Justice is a podcast that uses adult language and discusses sensitive andpotentially triggering topics including violence, abuse, and murder.

In 2002, when Kara Robinson Chamberlain was just 15 years old, she was in the front yard of her friend’s home in Columbia, South Carolina when a man approached her. At first, he seemed friendly but then he pulled out a gun, pressed it against her neck, and forced Kara into a storage bin in the back of his vehicle.Kara was held and assaulted for 18 hours before she escaped. Through the information she was able to provide to law enforcement, they discovered that the man who took her was Richard Evonitz. He wasn’t just a kidnapper and a pedophile; he was a serial killer. Before taking Kara, he’d killed 3 other girls from the state of Virginia- 16-year-old Sofia Silva in 1996, and sisters 15 year old Kristin Lisk and 12 year old Kati Lisk in 1997.At 15 years old, Kara Robinson Chamberlain not only heroically escaped her captor, but she also helped police catch a serial killer before he could kill again. Her story is nothing short of incredible.But it’s not my story to tell. So, I invited Kara on the podcast to tell her story in her own words. In addition to discussing what happened back in 2002, Kara and I discuss her experience with the media, how we really feel about the term closure, and ethics in true crime, specifically as it relates to consent in telling stories of survival like Kara’s.Please take a moment to follow Kara:https://www.kararobinsonchamberlain.com/https://www.instagram.com/kararobinsonchamberlain/https://www.tiktok.com/@kararobinsonchamberlainhttps://www.facebook.com/kararobinsonchamberlainhttps://www.youtube.com/c/karachamberlainhttps://twitter.com/KR_ChamberlainFor more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, supportthe show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice Voices for Justice is a podcast that uses adult language and discusses sensitive andpotentially triggering topics including violence, abuse, and murder.
