This week on Vanished Voices, we bring you a special crossover episode from Crime Clueless, another true crime podcast from our Not Today Studios. Crime Clueless is hosted by Jenna, who is joined by her sister co co-hosts, all completely new to true crime. They bring fresh perspectives, intriguing questions, and a brand new approach to these cases.

In this episode, we dive into the harrowing case of Robin Lawrence, a loving mother whose life was tragically cut short in her Springfield, Virginia, home in 1994.

For nearly three decades, the brutal murder remained a cold case—until modern DNA technology and determined investigators unraveled the mystery. Join us as we explore Robin's story, the haunting details of the crime, and the breakthrough that finally led to justice.

We’ll also discuss the chilling confession of the man responsible and the impact this resolution had on Robin’s family and community.

Between 2016 and 2017, four young Black residents of Chicago Lawn — Joanna Wright, Marlo Gulley, Chante Bohanan, and Kenosohn Ward — disappeared or were killed within just 15 months of each other. All were last seen or found within blocks of the same neighborhood. All were loved. And all four cases remain unsolved.

In this episode of Vanished Voices, we trace each timeline — from Kenosohn’s fatal shooting in Marquette Park… to Chante’s frantic final phone call… to Joanna’s forced abduction in broad daylight… to Marlo’s disappearance after he left to meet someone near 64th & Campbell and never returned.

Although authorities did not officially link these cases until 2023, the patterns in geography, proximity, and social circles raise troubling questions… and the families have been asking them for years.

Why did four lives in the same neighborhood end — or vanish — without justice?
Did fear silence witnesses?
And how can four families, all grieving with no answers, be left waiting this long?

Through verified reporting, publicly available quotes, and careful investigation, we illuminate the lives behind the headlines and the silence surrounding their cases. Because these four individuals were more than file numbers — they were children, siblings, partners, and friends. Their stories deserve to be told, and their families deserve answers.

Even the smallest detail could help investigators.

In early May, 2022, 41-year-old Muscogee (Creek) Nation member Cara Marie Cox set out from Seminole, Oklahoma in her boyfriend’s semi truck, leaving behind her bright-green Honda Del Sol. Her car was found abandoned at a Love’s Travel Stop off Interstate 40, where she had left it for their road trip.

She’d been traveling with a long-haul truck driver whose story kept changing. Was she left behind … or did someone make sure she never came home?

In this episode of Vanished Voices, we trace Cara’s final days, the conflicting accounts that followed, and the larger crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women along America’s highways. Cara’s family still searches for truth — and refuses to let her name fade into the noise of the road.
