Summary

This week on True Crime Daily The Podcast: Mark Himebaugh was 11 years old when he was last seen near his home in Del Haven, New Jersey, on November 25, 1991. At first, his disappearance was treated as a missing-child case, a boy who went to look at a nearby marsh fire and may have wandered off. But as the hours and days passed, something more nefarious was feared.

A child's sneaker was found near Himebaugh's home during the intensive searches for the freckled, red-headed little boy.

Sketches of "persons of interest" were released to the public. But 30 years later, Mark remains missing.

Ana Garcia covered the case as a young reporter and interviewed Mark's mother Maureen.

In this episode, Ana and private investigator Luis Bolaños sit down with Maureen Himebaugh and retired Middle Township Police Officer Richard McHale. And Cape May County Detective Marshall Cradock gives an update on the current status of the case.

0:00.0	Award of warning, this podcast explores graphic and disturbing stories and includes some
0:05.3	strong language. It therefore may not be suitable for our young listeners or other folks who
0:10.9	may find it disturbing. Hello and welcome to True Crime Daily, the podcast, covering high
0:15.9	profile and under the radar cases from across the country every week. I'm your host Annagarcia.
0:20.6	We are recording this on November 16th, 2021. Our guest today is Lewis Belanyos, a former homicide
0:28.6	detective with more than 30 years of law enforcement experience. Lewis now runs his own private
0:34.3	investigation firm called Get Bit and you do so much volunteer and pro bono work for survivors
0:41.9	of crime. You are a personal friend and you are a friend of the show. Lewis, we're so thrilled
0:46.2	you're with us today. Happy to be here Anna. Thank you so much. I'm really, really interested in
0:51.8	this case on so many levels, but I'm so glad to be part of the show. And I'm really glad that you're
0:57.8	here because I reached out to Lewis a year ago about this case and I said Lewis, I need your help

1:18.4	help solve the Gabby Petito case, if we could just use a fraction of that to help find out what
1:24.0	happened to this 11 year old boy called Mark Heimbaugh. I would be eternally grateful, but really
1:31.9	it is his mother, his father, his brother, his family, the people of this small town in South
1:38.4	Jersey who have been waiting 30 years for answers. And the most important thing is his mother Maureen.
1:48.0	So it was 30 years ago on November 25th of 1991. He disappeared on the Monday before Thanksgiving.
1:56.8	Time and law enforcement. They have both failed to figure out what happened to a little red headed
2:02.7	boy with freckles on his nose. His name is Mark Heimbaugh. Mark was 11 years old when he was abducted
2:11.1	from this really small town called Del Haven. It is in South Jersey as you're heading down to Cape
