Disappearance of Adriana Bejarano

On November 28, 1988, fifteen-year-old Adriana Bejarano disappeared from her home in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. She left behind her purse, money in her bank account, and a family desperate for answers. Neighbors reported hearing a car horn that morning, and investigators would later identify a person of interest, but nearly four decades later, Adriana's fate remains unknown.

In my latest article, I take a closer look at the circumstances surrounding Adriana's disappearance, the clues left behind, and the questions that still haunt this unsolved case.

The Lost Girls of Arkansas

Image
  There are some stories that never truly leave a state. They linger in the backroads, in faded newspaper clippings, in abandoned parking lots, and in the memories of families who have spent years — sometimes decades — waiting for answers that never came. For years, Arkansas has carried those stories quietly. Now, LaDonna Humphrey is preparing to bring many of them into the light with her upcoming book, The Lost Girls of Arkansas , a sweeping investigative work focused on missing women, unsolved murders, forgotten victims, and the systemic failures that often allowed those cases to fade from public view. Humphrey has built much of her career around the uncomfortable spaces other people avoid. Through podcasts, investigative journalism, advocacy work, and longform true crime writing, she has repeatedly returned to one central question: what happens to the victims nobody fights for long enough? That question sits at the center of this book. Rather than presenting Arkansas as a collec...

A generic sketch, a distinctive car, and the details that still deserve a second look in the Melissa Witt case

Image
 I came across this article again — “Police ask for help finding Witt witness” — and I want to zero in on the specific details it included about the man and the vehicle, because those are the pieces that still have the potential to matter. According to the article, the man investigators were trying to identify was described as being between 20 and 30 years old, approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighing around 180 pounds. He had curly strawberry blond hair and possibly a beard. He was reportedly seen near the location where Melissa Witt’s body was later found, and what stood out to the witness was that he appeared out of place — notably, he did not have any hunting equipment with him. At one point, he was also seen changing clothes in that area. The vehicle associated with him was described in much more specific detail. It was a dark gray or black newer model car. It had what appeared to be a racing stripe or decal on the passenger side rear quarter panel, possibly in pur...

The Podcaster Who Loved Mugshots Until They Were His Own

Image
There is a particular kind of arrogance that develops when someone spends years building a platform off publicly humiliating other people. Eventually, they begin believing they are the narrator instead of the subject. They convince themselves they are the one holding the flashlight, never the person standing inside its beam. But public records have a funny way of humbling people who build careers weaponizing the mistakes, allegations, arrests, lawsuits, and embarrassing moments of others while pretending their own history deserves privacy, nuance, or forgiveness. That hypocrisy becomes impossible to ignore when the same podcast personalities who gleefully splash someone else’s mugshots across the internet suddenly grow very quiet about their own court records. For years now, portions of the true crime podcast world have transformed into something far uglier than journalism. It is no longer enough to report facts. The modern formula requires humiliation. Mugshots are treated like trophi...
