An inquiry determined that she never attended classes that day, and she has never been seen or heard from again...

| 12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch vanished in 1982 while delivering newspapers on his route. |
Johnny Gosch, 12, had been working as a paperboy for a little more than a year when he vanished from his West Des Moines route in 1982 while delivering the Des Moines Register. He left his parents' home at 5:45 a.m. on September 5, 1982, with his pet dachshund in tow.Suspicions of foul play, however, did not arise until about two hours later, when one of Johnny's customers called to say that his newspaper had not been delivered. Johnny's dad, Leonard, instructed his wife to call the police and went out looking for his son. He had gone barely two blocks from his house when he found Johnny's red wagon full of newspapers, so Leonard delivered them to Johnny's customers...

| Reid Gray may be rich, but he's also confessed to cheating on his wife |
"Just wanted to point out how very frustrating it is that there are soooo many wonderful, intelligent, caring, women with morals and values, not to mention class, out there waiting for a man like this and to be wasted on such a woman disgusts us..."

| Police say they know who killed Barbara Larkin. The problem is that they can't prove it. |
So in 2001, when Larkin didn't show up for work, fellow employees became concerned. She was always punctual and responsible. Then, when she missed another day and yet another day, they knew something terrible must have happened...

Brittni was beaten to death, set on fire, and then buried outside Albuquerque
Brittni Carlini, a 20-year-old college student from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was excited about a snowboarding trip she had planned for last weekend. So she went to the home of her friend Ryan Vigil to retrieve a snowboard. That's when she disappeared.
Her parents reported her missing the next day. The trail quickly led to Vigil, 19. He admitted that they -- along with another friend, Christopher Midyette, also 19 -- got into an argument over the trip. As Brittni was leaving, Vigil says Midyette smashed her in the head with a baseball bat. The pair then took her to a remote area, dug a grave, doused her with gas and set her on fire, then buried her...

Ricky Franklin is suspected in the murder or disappeance of at least 10 women
Ricky Franklin picked up a 21-year-old woman in Jackson, Mississippi Saturday and took her to a club in nearby Bolton. They later repaired to his trailer home. That's where he beat her with a bottle, tried to bite off her ear, sucked her blood, choked her, and brutally raped her, say police.
Franklin was confronted by a relative, so he ran into the woods before turning himself in the next day. But if history's any indication, he may well skate on the crime. He's a suspect in 10 murders and cases of women disappearing. Though he's been tried three times, he's never been convicted...

Navy corpsman Crispino Buzon, 25, was supposed to get on a plane at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino on April 25, 1987 to fly to the Philippines to pick up his wife. When he failed to shop up in the Philippines, he was reported missing.

A few weeks after his disappearance, a bag containing Buzon's clothing, military identification and other belongings was found in a reservoir near Victorville. By then a full-blown missing person's investigation was underway, and it hadn't taken long for detectives to determine that the reservoir was near a home that Buzon's supervisor, Petty Officer First Class Robert Nydegger, 40, had rented for his wife...

| Jeffrey Dahmer could have been caught when a naked, bloody boy ran into the street |
"This IS a perfect example of shitty / lazy cops, who are supposed to "serve and protect", and investigate any and all reports. Brings back the Dahmer case.. remember that one?
"Two women find a drunk / drugged up 14yr old boy running down the road, nude, and bleeding from his backside and call 911. Cops show up, and Dahmer tells the cops that the kid is his 19yr old lover. The cops didn't "want to get involved" in a dispute between supposed homosexual lovers, and turn the kid back over to Dahmer, even though the two women try to tell the cops not to...

| Glenn Bagley is the lead suspect in three 1970s murder cases |
It was around Easter time, 1973, when Althea Blankenship and her son Jeffrey were on their way from their home in the Seattle area to a getaway in Greece. The only problem was that they never made their flight. And no one ever heard from them again.
Then, three years later -- and less than one hundred miles away -- Esther Mae Gesler also went missing. She told her five children that she was going away for the weekend. Gesler also never returned...
