She was always the sweetest little sister. She was always making me snacks and all of my cousins just love her because she's just really attentive and kind and just...

I was a really like giving herson and cannot always try to be perfect.

She told me everything and that's another reason I don't think she had been playing this for a long time. I think this was spur of the moment she decided I wanted to get out.

I don't think she planned on staying away from this long. I don't think she could have consciously done this to her parents and friends and family.

So yes, I do believe she planned on coming back.

My mind comes up with all kinds of stuff that I think probably helped into her. But like, some of it I just try not to think about. I just try to stay pod-lear because that's what gets me through the day. It's having faith that I'm going to find her.

On March 31st, 2020, 25-year-old Kenna Harris carefully packed a backpack with her medications, a yoga mat, and some of her other favorite belongings, and headed out of the family home in Monroe, Washington.

There was a local bus that was supposed to take her to her shift at work that day. But Kenna didn't go to work and told the bus driver to go on without her.

Instead, Kenna walked to a nearby bank, withdrew some money, and then traveled via public transit to Snowhomish, Washington, where she disappeared without a trace, after being tracked via an intricate web of surveillance footage and phone pings.

In the months since Kenna disappeared, she has not been seen or heard from again. This is a story about Kenna, her life, and the mystery of her disappearance.

I'm Marissa, and from Wondery, this is episode 235 of The Vanished, part one of Kenna Harris's story.

Hello, I'm Hannah, and I'm Seruti, and we are the hosts of A Red Handed, a weekly true crime podcast.

Every week on Red Handed, we get stuck into the most talked about cases, from the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders, and our recent rundown of The Murdoch Saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Short Hand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behavior. Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Red Handed wherever you get your podcast, so in access our bonus Short Hand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus, in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

She excelled academically and was a talented athlete, participating in volleyball, track, and even pole vaulting in school.

We spoke to her brother Hunter and asked him to tell us about Kenneth's life and talents.
