Destiny McClain was a 23-year-old Phoenix woman known for her kindness, humor, and devotion to her family. On July 18, 2021, she was standing outside a food truck near Karamba Nightclub when someone fired multiple shots into a crowd and drove away. Destiny was struck in the chest and later died from her injuries. Investigators believe the shooting may have been random, and the suspect vehicle — a dark-colored four-door sedan — was captured on surveillance but never identified. More than three years later, Destiny’s murder remains unsolved as her family continues to seek answers and honor her legacy through advocacy and the Our Destiny Our Future Foundation.

Stacey Colbert was 23 years old when she vanished from her Columbus, Ohio apartment in March 1998 after failing to show up for work. Inside her apartment, police found signs of a struggle, but no evidence of forced entry, suggesting she may have known the person responsible. Six years later, her remains were discovered in a remote area of Delaware County, though her cause of death could not be determined due to decomposition. Over the years, investigators have examined multiple leads, including a man who had been romantically interested in Stacey and helped her move shortly before she disappeared, but no one has been charged. More than 25 years later, the case remains open, and her family continues to push for accountability and answers.

Leon Laureles was a 30-year-old man from Brownwood, Texas, who was last seen pulling into the parking lot of the Kroger where he worked an overnight shift in May of 1996. Less than thirty minutes later, his car was found burning on a dark access road near a gun range, and Leon was discovered nearby, shot execution-style. From the start, the investigation was plagued by red flags, including a rushed drug-related theory, lost evidence, unpursued leads, and the failure to interview key witnesses and family members. Despite reports of threats against Leon before his death and multiple people later coming forward with information, no arrests were ever made. Nearly three decades later, Leon’s niece Arlene continues to fight for justice, believing his case was neglected because of who he was – and that the truth about his murder has been buried, not lost.

Jennifer Kesse was a 24-year-old finance professional who disappeared on January 24, 2006, after leaving her Orlando condo to go to work. Her car was found two days later, abandoned nearby, and surveillance footage captured an unidentified person parking it, whose face was obscured by fence posts in every frame. Despite early evidence and multiple tips, the investigation stalled amid delayed responses, missed leads, and years of documented inactivity. Jennifer’s parents later sued for access to case files, uncovered major investigative gaps, and pushed through landmark missing-persons legislation in Florida. Nearly twenty years later, her case has been reopened by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, with new leads and forensic testing underway, but no one has been held accountable.

Ryan Shtuka was a 20-year-old lift operator spending the winter working at Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia when he disappeared in February 2018. After finishing his shift and attending a small house party with friends, Ryan began the short walk back to his cabin but never arrived. Despite extensive searches involving RCMP, Search and Rescue, volunteers, and advanced technology, no trace of Ryan or his belongings has ever been found. Over the years, hundreds of tips and theories have surfaced, but none have been supported by evidence, and the investigation remains open. Ryan’s family continues to search for answers, determined to bring him home and keep his story alive.

Toby Beaugh was a 29-year-old newly married man who was killed in a deliberate hit-and-run road rage incident in New Orleans during Mardi Gras weekend on February 24, 2006. While walking home with his wife, Melissa, a black pickup truck stopped, waited, and then accelerated into Toby, killing him before fleeing the scene. Despite multiple witnesses, the driver and vehicle were never identified, and early investigative efforts were limited by lack of physical evidence, inoperable surveillance cameras, and missed investigative steps. Over time, the case stalled, communication with law enforcement became sparse, and records show little documented investigative activity beyond the first few months. Nearly twenty years later, Toby’s murder remains unsolved, with his family continuing to push for accountability and answers.

Megan Trussell was an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder who disappeared on February 9, 2025 and reported missing three days later after failing to respond to family members. She was found dead six days after her last siting on February 15, 2025 in a remote, snow-covered area off Boulder Canyon Drive. According to investigators, Megan was last seen leaving her dorm late at night after an argument with her roommate and boyfriend. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a suicide, citing toxic levels of amphetamine (believed to be Adderall) in her system, with hypothermia listed as a contributing factor, and stated that her injuries were consistent with a fall rather than an assault. Megan’s family has strongly disputed this conclusion, pointing to her lack of prior suicidal behavior, unexplained injuries, missing belongings, and unanswered questions about the toxicology evidence, and they have since hired a private investigator, pushed for independent testing, and publicly called for the case to be reopened. As scrutiny has grown, the case is now set to receive a state-level review, marking the first time it will be examined outside local law enforcement.
