    61: MISSING: Gabriel Johnson
    Oct 14 2024
    On December 20th, 2009, Logan McQueary was supposed to gain physical custody of his nearly eight month old son, Gabriel. But when Logan arrived to pick him up, both he and Gabriel's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, weren't home. For days, Logan tried contacting Elizabeth, but she didn't respond. Then, on December 27th, Logan received a text message from Elizabeth claiming she had murdered Gabriel.

    Investigators immediately launched a search for both Gabriel and Elizabeth, but when they located Elizabeth days later, Gabriel was nowhere to be found. Elizabeth eventually told police that she didn't kill her son, but instead participated in an underground adoption in San Antonio, Texas. Investigators looked into Elizabeth's claims, but they were never able to confirm her story. It's been almost 15 years since Gabriel disappeared, and investigators are still searching for him.

    Nearly eight month old Gabriel Johnson was last seen on December 26th, 2009 at the Home Gate Studios and Suites in San Antonio, Texas. In the last known photo of Gabriel, he was wearing a white flannel pajama set decorated with reindeer, Santas, and Christmas trees, and a white knitted cap with light blue and green markings.

    If you have any information in this case, you can call the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-7660.

    Oct 7 2024
    On June 27th, 2020, Fauna Frey, a 45-year-old woman grieving the recent loss of her brother, left her family home in Dexter, Oregon with plans to visit some of his loved ones in the Grants Pass area. Two days later, on June 29th, Fauna was seen buying groceries in Grants Pass, but after that she vanished.

Her car was found months later on a spur road off BLM road 30 481 in the Mount Reuben Road area. Fauna is described as being 5'6" and weighing between 135 and 150 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and she was last seen wearing a pink or purple zip up, lightweight jacket, cotton Capri black leggings, a light or white colored shirt, light colored sneakers and white champion ankle socks.

  • 59: MURDER: The Lane Bryant Murders

    59: MURDER: The Lane Bryant Murders
    Sep 30 2024
    At 10 a.m. on the morning of February 2nd, 2008, the Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois opened for the day. Just minutes later, a man entered the store posing as a delivery person. He eventually pulled out a gun and took the store manager, a part time employee, and four customers hostage. The six women were forced into a back room, where they were bound with duct tape and shot, execution style. The store manager and the four customers were killed instantly, but the part time employee survived. She had moved just as the gunman fired, and although she was shot in the neck, she lived to give police a detailed description of the killer. Despite her account and an extensive investigation, the gunman has never been identified. It's been over 16 years since Rhoda McFarland, Jennifer Bishop, Carrie Chiuso Hudek, Connie Woolfolk and Sarah Szafranski were murdered, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible.

    On the morning of February 2nd, 2008, five women were murdered inside the Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. The gunman entered the store at 10:08 a.m. posing as a delivery person, and by 10:46 a.m. he had executed five victims.

    Surveillance footage captured two vehicles outside the store, a dark colored SUV and a smaller sedan, both leaving moments after the murders. The gunman was described as a husky, medium to dark complected black man, approximately 6ft - 6ft two inches tall, with a receding hairline and braided hair. He was wearing black jeans with rhinestones on the back pocket and a charcoal gray knit cap.

    His identity remains unknown. If you have any information in this case, please call the Tip hotline at (708) 444-5394 or email LaneBryant.Tipline@TinleyPark.org. There is still a $100,000 reward.
