On the night of December 4, 1998, 21-year-old Yale senior Suzanne Jovin left her apartment to return a carpool key to the campus police office.

At around 3:45 a.m. on October 4, 2011, Jeremy Irwin came home from a late-night electrical job to find the front door unlocked and the lights still on inside his Kansas City home. As he walked through the house, turning off lights and checking on his children, he made a chilling discovery - his nearly eleven-month-old daughter, Lisa, was gone.

On October 8, 2009, Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison, along with their six-year-old daughter Madyson, set out to look at land for sale in the Sans Bois Mountains of Oklahoma. Days later, their truck was found abandoned less than a mile from the property. Inside were their wallets, coats, a phone, $32,000 in cash, and their dog, who was barely alive. Despite an extensive search, there was no sign of the family for years. Then, in November 2013, hunters discovered the partial skeletal remains of Bobby, Sherilyn, and Madyson just a few miles from where the truck had been found.  It’s been nearly 12 years since then and investigators are still searching for answers… 44-year-old Bobby Jamison, his 40-year-old wife Sherilyn, and their six-year-old daughter Madyson disappeared on October 8, 2009.

On the night of October 11, 2001, federal prosecutor Thomas Wales was working in the basement of his Seattle home when someone walked up to his window and opened fire. Tom was struck multiple times, and later died at the hospital.  At first, it wasn’t clear if the motive was personal or something connected to his work. While Tom was well-liked, he had prosecuted dozens of white-collar criminals, was active in gun control reform, and had potentially made enemies in both spaces. Investigators eventually zeroed in on one man who seemed to have a grudge with Tom for multiple reasons. But despite one of the most extensive investigations in FBI history, no one has ever been charged with Tom’s murder. Federal prosecutor Thomas Wales was shot through the window of his Seattle home, located in the 100 block of Hayes Street, while working in his basement at around 10:40 p.m. on October 11, 2001.  If you have information about Tom’s murder, please call your local FBI office or email walestips@fbi.gov.

On the morning of November 8, 2001, 53-year-old Donna O’Steen was found murdered inside her home in Seattle. She had been bound with duct tape and stabbed multiple times. There were signs of a robbery—but it wasn’t clear if that was the real motive. There were no signs of forced entry, only a few random items were missing, and the killer had brought their own knife and duct tape. That raised a troubling question: had someone wanted Donna dead? But her family and friends couldn’t think of a single person who would want to hurt her. She had no enemies, no history of conflict, and no known threats. More than two decades later, her murder remains unsolved. And her family is still asking the same question: who would want Donna dead? Donna O’Steen was found murdered in her home in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle on the morning of November 8, 2001. She had been bound with duct tape and stabbed multiple times. There were signs of a ransacked bedroom, but only a few seemingly random items were taken. Despite sketches of two persons of interest and ongoing efforts by her family, Donna’s killer has never been identified.

On the night of December 15, 1996, 12-year-old Celina Mays went to bed in her family home in Willingboro, New Jersey.  By morning, she was gone. As police began investigating, they learned that when she disappeared, Celina was nine months pregnant and just days away from giving birth. They also learned that her family belonged to a controversial religious group led by her aunt—one that former members have described as a cult. This dynamic, along with reports that the aunt’s son had molested underage girls in the church, complicated the case. Twenty-nine years later, Celina has never been found, and detectives are still working to untangle what happened inside the church and to Celina and her unborn baby. And despite everything, they haven’t given up hope that she may still be alive. Celina Mays was last seen sometime overnight between December 15 and 16, 1996, at her home on Crestview Drive in Willingboro, New Jersey. She was 12 years old and nine months pregnant at the time.

On the night of Friday, October 23, 2015, 18-year-old Ebby Steppach attended a party in Little Rock, Arkansas. The following evening, she texted her stepfather and said she’d been sexually assaulted at the party and asked if he would go with her to the police. He said yes. But after that, she never contacted him again. Calls and texts from her family went unanswered until the next afternoon, when Ebby called her older brother. She was disoriented, thinking she was outside his house, even though she wasn’t. Her family frantically reported her missing and began searching. Within a week, her car was found abandoned at a local park. But there was no sign of Ebby. Searches in and around that park continued for years with no answers. Then, two and a half years later, Ebby’s body was found just 70 feet inside a drainage pipe that opened just feet from where her car had been left behind. Now, nearly a decade later, her family, friends, and the Little Rock Police Department are still searching for the person—or people—responsible for ending Ebby’s life. On Friday, October 23, 2015, Ebby Steppach attended a party. Afterward, she told friends and family she had been sexually assaulted and may have been recorded without her consent. The following day, she planned to report the assault to police—but then, she disappeared. For nearly 24 hours, no one could reach her. Then, on Sunday, October 25, Ebby called her brother. She sounded disoriented and claimed she was outside his house, but she wasn’t there. When he called her back, she said she was in her car—a silver Volkswagen Passat—but didn’t know where she was. That call was the last time anyone in her family heard from her. Ebby’s car was later found abandoned in Chalamont Park. Her phone, wallet, and contact lenses were still inside. But Ebby was nowhere to be found. In May 2018, Ebby’s remains were recovered from a drainage pipe, just feet from where her car had been found. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
