February 4th, 1990. Orlando, Florida.

26-year-old Deborah Poe shows up to work the graveyard shift at a circle-k-convenient

store. At around 4 a.m., the store is discovered to be empty, and Deborah's reported missing.

A customer soon comes forward to report that she frequented the store shortly after Deborah

was last seen. For unknown reasons, a young man was standing behind the counter and sold

her some cigarettes. This mysterious man is never identified, and Deborah Poe is never

found. After that, the trail went cold.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest mini-sode of the trail went cold. I'm your host

Robin Warder, and today we will be covering another classic case which was featured on unsolved

mysteries, the 1990 disappearance of Deborah Poe. Buffy warned, if your job involves working

the graveyard shift at a convenience store, you might not want to listen to this one as this

story is pretty terrifying. It originally aired on Unsolved Mysteries in November of 1991,

and while the segment was only about six minutes long, it's still a pretty memorable one,

mostly because of an individual whom fans of the show have nicknamed Megadeath Guy.

But we'll talk about him momentarily. I previously featured this case in an article I wrote for

Lisfer's calm titled Ten People Who Mysteriously Vanished From Their Workplace, which is originally

published in September of 2014. But before we get started, just a brief reminder that the trail

went cold is a weekly podcast which alternates between our regular full-length episodes and 15 to
