In this episode of Strange Matters, three cases are presented in which someone suddenly vanished without a trace. In each of these unsolved mysteries, the victims would be going about living normal lives, until the next moment they were simply gone, forever.
Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone were hanging at a bar late one night with some friends. At around midnight, the pair left the bar to head towards Richard’s truck. Neither of them would ever be seen again. This case has puzzled police and the community for over a decade, as no one can see how its possible for two people and a truck could simply go missing without a shred of evidence.
Angela Hammond was on a payphone late at night, talking to her fiance Rob. Suddenly, she screamed into the phone. Her fiance ran to his car and raced towards to where she was, when a truck passed by with a woman inside screaming his name. Unfortunately, Rob could not catch up and the truck would drive away, apparently taking Angela with it. No signs of her would ever be found.
In the last case, teenage Laureen Rahn was enjoying a day with two friends in her apartment. Later that night, Laureen’s mother came home, to find that only her daughter’s friend was still at the apartment. Her daughter was gone, with no signs of forced entry or a struggle, and all her belongings left behind. It’s as if Laureen stepped outside and was suddenly gone, without a trace. Though there were a few odd leads in this case, the police could find absolutely no clues as to what happened to the missing teenager.

In the last case, the police might have dusted the light bulbs that were said to be unscrewed for fingerprints. But then again it doesn’t seem like the police were interested at first anyway, but there might have been some evidence to work with. Too bad.
Good thought Mark, I hadn’t thought of that. Makes sense though, perhaps whoever unscrewed the bulbs did leave some type of evidence behind. Like you said though it took several weeks before the police even started taking this case seriously, which is a shame. If they had gotten on it right away there’s a chance that perhaps they could have found something that would help solve this case!
