On July 14th, 2025, 26-year-old Kyle Lee Smith was on the phone with his wife. It was the last confirmed contact anyone had with him. He'd gone to visit a family member in North Phoenix and never made it home. His cell phone was later found in front of Country Gables Park, not with him.

For nearly eight months, his case sat as an open missing persons investigation. Then, in March 2026, his mother, Kristen Cline, says detectives told her Kyle had been linked as the victim in what appeared to be a murder scene, discovered at that same park. A large amount of blood was found there. His body has never been recovered.

Phoenix Police have confirmed the case remains open and active. They have not confirmed his death, and no suspect has been named. Police have ruled out family involvement.

Kyle was a father of three, working to get sober so he could be present for his children, the same presence he lost from his own father as a boy.

On August 13th, 2021, 26-year-old Olivia Samantha Fowler stepped outside her boyfriend's home in rural Meriwether County, Georgia, to smoke a cigarette. She never came back inside. Hours later, a park ranger who knew her by name saw her walking alone along Pebblebrook Road, wearing a tie-dye shirt, white cutoff shorts, and black flip-flops. It was the last confirmed sighting of her.

Her family searched for nearly a year before the FBI officially joined the case. 16 months after she vanished, a tip led investigators to human remains in a rural stretch of the county. It took almost another year of DNA testing to confirm what her family had feared. Olivia was gone.

To this day, authorities have never publicly disclosed how she died or whether they believe someone is responsible. This case remains an open, active death investigation.

If you have any information about what happened to Olivia Fowler between the early morning hours of August 13th, 2021, and her last confirmed sighting later that day, please contact:

On July 26th, 1992, 22-year-old Brenda Lambert disappeared from her home in Bluewell, West Virginia, hours after hosting her son's first birthday party. Her car, her purse, her keys, even the clothes she wore that night were all left behind. She never was.

Weeks earlier, Brenda had filed a domestic violence complaint against her husband, Raymond, then withdrawn it. She had a divorce attorney appointment on the calendar and a custody plan in motion. She never made it there.

Thirty-four years later, Raymond has never been arrested. A 2003 attempt to search a nearby pond failed. And Brenda's sister, Christy, has spent more than three decades fighting to bring her home.

This week, host Cindy Gersch, a former CBS investigative reporter, filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Mercer County Sheriff's Office for the original case file. Updates to follow.
