Not Adding Up

Episode 19: The Frustrating Death of Mitrice Richardson

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 20:14:23 +0000

Mitrice was a recent college graduate who lived with her great-grandmother in LA while working two jobs. She aspired to obtain a doctorate in child psychology and work with children in the foster system. Unfortunately, she did not get the opportunity to pursue these goals. Amid a seeming mental episode, Mitrice was arrested by the LA Sheriff's Department in September 2009. She was released with no cell phone, no wallet, and over 20 miles from her vehicle a little after midnight. While there was a sighting of Mitrice just a few hours after her release, it would be months before a more gruesome discovery would be made.

Episode 18: The Perplexing Disappearance of Brian Shaffer

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 05:12:45 +0000

Brian Shaffer was in his second year of medical school when he went missing from a bar in Columbus, Ohio. The Ugly Tuna Saloona was full of customers in the early morning hours of April 1st, 2006; however, Brian disappeared without a trace after being caught entering the bar at 1:57 AM. He would leave behind absolutely nothing to indicate where he was going or what could have possibly happened, and over 15 years later, he remains missing.

Episode 17: The Harrowing Case of Debbie Collier

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 14:21:40 +0000

Debbie Collier was found deceased on September 11th, 2022, in Habersham County, Georgia. The day before her body was found, she would send her daughter an eerie message and a Venmo for nearly $2,400. After months of speculation, the autopsy report would rule Collier’s death a suicide, but questions remain. Tune in to this week's episode, where I discuss these tragic events with my father.

Also, I wanted to say thanks to Crime on the Record Podcast for your interview with Amanda and for getting back to me about the case.

Episode 16: Luke Stout's Heartbreaking Disappearance

Fri, 25 Nov 2022 17:48:22 +0000

Luke Stout has been missing since July 2012 from Buckhannon, West Virginia. Despite his family raising alarm bells immediately, police showed reluctance to look into this disappearance, even in the face of evidence that potentially linked Luke to a murder-for-hire plot. Police would even refuse the help of a volunteer search organization that wanted to help the family. While this case remains an unsolved disappearance, there is plenty of evidence to allow anyone who cares to put together a comprehensive picture of what happened to Luke over ten years ago.

Episode 15: Where Is Maura Murray?

Sat, 19 Nov 2022 01:03:20 +0000

This week I cover one of the most famous disappearances in recent history, that of 21-year-old Maura Murray. Maura would go missing from the side of the road after being involved in a one-car accident on Route 112 in North Haverhill, New Hampshire. Two 911 calls were made in response to the accident, one man even stopped to offer help, but Maura refused any assistance. Less than 15 minutes after the man offered her help, police arrived to find no trace of Maura. Despite gaining worldwide recognition, her case remains unsolved almost two decades later, and the incidents leading up to her disappearance make her case so much more upsetting.

Episode 14: The Confusing Case of Kayelyn Louder

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 15:47:57 +0000

Kayelyn Louder was 30 years old when she went missing from Murray, Utah, on September 27, 2014. Despite CCTV footage capturing her multiple times on the day of her disappearance, she would seemingly vanish without a trace for over two months. It was revealed to the public that Kayelyn acted very strangely in the days leading up to her disappearance, indicating she was possibly experiencing a mental break. However, her family reports no history of mental illness and insists this is very out of character for Kayleyn. Two months after her disappearance, Kayelyns's body was found; however, the discovery of her body has helped little to explain what happened on the evening of September 27 that caused Kayelyn to behave in the way she did. Losing Kayelyn is not the only tragedy the Louder family has had to endure, and they deserve a resolution to the tragic death of their daughter, siblings, and loved one.

Episode 13: The Haunting Disappearance of Brandon Lawson

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 15:09:58 +0000

While on his way to his parents late at night in August 2013, Brandon Lawson ran out of gas. What seemed like a simple inconvenience quickly turned into a seemingly urgent situation. Brandon began making panicked calls to his brother, telling him he was being chased out of town. Brandon even goes as far as to call 911, seemingly out of character. What makes this case genuinely haunting is that when Brandon's brother got to the designated meeting spot to help him with his truck, Brandon told him he could see him; however, he was never found by his brother. Nearly a decade later, Brandon's loved ones are still left wondering what happened that night.

The Supposed Disappearance of George Smith

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 23:10:10 +0000

In this episode, I take you on another cruise ship. This time we follow George and Jessica Smith on their honeymoon. Around a week into their cruise, Geroge goes overboard under very suspicious circumstances. Jennifer can remember nothing from the night before and was found passed out in the hallway. This story is almost too crazy to believe that it was an "accident," and it screams foul play to me.

Episode 11: The Infuriating Death of Kenneka Jenkins

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 18:37:16 +0000

In this episode, I go over the well-known case of Kenneka Jenkins. Kenneka was a 19-year-old woman living in Illinois; after getting a new job, she wanted to go out to celebrate with her friends. Unfortunately, while the night started like any other night on the town, it ended with her passing away in a manner that didn't make much sense to anyone.

While the cause of her death could be determined with reasonable certainty, there still lingers dozens of questions. Why was Kenneka in the situation she was in? Why wasn't more help offered to the mother of a missing young woman? Why was Kenneka left alone, seemingly extremely intoxicated, by her friends? And most haunting, how did Kenneka end up in that deep freezer?

Episode 10: The Unexplaniable Disappearance of the Jamison Family

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 20:38:51 +0000

The Jamison family vanished seemingly without a trace for over four years. Their truck was discovered shortly after they were last seen; however, the vehicle's contents would raise far more questions than they answered. Over four years later, the family's bodies were all discovered together just 3 miles from the location their truck had been left. With not much to go off other than statements and an unsettling clip from their security camera, theories have emerged pointing to all sorts of foul play. From demonic possession to white supremacists, this episode has a little bit of everything awful, including (once again) a possible cult influence.

Episode 9: The baffling disappearance of Rebecca Coriam

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 00:24:08 +0000

This episode is about 24-year-old Rebecca Coriam, a Disney cruise ship worker that went missing without a trace in March of 2011. Coriam was last seen on CCTV footage, visibly upset at 5:45 AM, talking on the ship's international line; however, miraculously, none of the other cameras can help us piece the story together. The half-ass investigation seems like it was just a rehearsal with the Disney corporation over what the story should be. This case involves a shady corporation, hush money, and even a possible passion-filled love triangle. (Also sorry if the audio is a little off, this is my first time having two co-hosts and I only have 2 mics)

Episode 8: Oakland County Child Killer (Part 4)

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 00:22:19 +0000

Just when you think the case couldn't get any crazier (or more confusing), more evidence comes to light. Among the evidence is DNA linking the same person to three of the four victims, a new witness who says they saw Kristine get into a police officer's car at 7/11 that awful day in January 1977, and even three mysterious deaths claimed to be suicides. I also go over the most recent evidence discussed by professionals surrounding the case, as well as the theories of myself and co-host Abby of what happened over 40 years ago in Oakland County.

Episode 7: Oakland County Child Killer (Part 3)

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 22:18:53 +0000

The investigation continues as Williams gets some new information from Lawson surrounding the OCCK case, names of individuals he says were involved. If he’s telling the truth it means the OCCK is connected to something much larger, and much more sinister (believe me, it’s possible) than just the brutal murder of 4 innocent children.

Along with this lead Williams is given a tip coming straight from the family of Tim King. These developments change the entire course of the investigation, and Williams is disgusted with what he discovers not only about these pedophiles but also the individuals working for the MSP during the time of the killings.

In part 2 of the Oakland County Child Killer series, I go through the beginning stages of the investigation and the horrific discoveries that came along with it. Among these discoveries were a multimillion-dollar child porn industry, a nationwide pedophile cult, and more than a few individuals from the Oakland county areas with some very shady pasts.

Episode 5: The Strange Disappearances of Cieha Taylor and Veronica Reyes-Diaz

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 03:23:14 +0000

This episode focuses on two women in their 20s who went missing within a month, just 7 miles from one another. Both women vanished, leaving behind some of their essential possessions in their vehicles, which are found with their keys inside. The cases remain unconnected officially; however, looking at them side by side, one notices multiple similarities. My friend Tristan is along for the ride this episode, and I hope you find the case as shocking as she did.

Episode 4: Oakland County Child Killer (Part 1)

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 16:58:55 +0000

This case takes place in the late 1970s in Oakland county, Michigan. Oakland County was and continues to be an affluent area full of wealth and prosperity, but when children began to go missing in 1976, the community was turned upside down. In the first part of this series, I will be going over the details of the murders involved in this case. Along with me is my friend Abby who will be my co-host for the series.

I am joined by my good friend Joni as I work through the horrific details of this case.
