Detective Perspective

On Valentine’s Day 2015, 27-year-old Erica Alonso went out with her ex-boyfriend in Orange County, California. She told her sister she would be home later that night.
But Erica never came home.
Weeks later, she was found deceased in a remote area of Orange County. Her body had been wrapped in plastic bags and secured with duct tape. Despite those circumstances, detectives said they did not believe Erica had been murdered.
That statement has been questioned by many. And more than 10 years later, Erica’s family and community are still trying to figure out what happened that night.
Anyone with information in Erica’s case is asked to call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227 or visit occrimestoppers.org.

On July 22, 1990, 13-year-old Deanna Merryfield was last seen in Killeen, Texas. In the early morning hours, she left her grandmother’s house to visit her twin sister and was later seen getting into a dark sedan with two older teenage boys.
She was never seen or heard from again.
More than three decades later, Deanna’s disappearance remains unsolved. Her family is still searching for answers and working to bring her home.
Anyone who knew Deanna in 1990 or earlier is asked to come forward, even if they believe the information is minor. Because there was so little investigation in the beginning, even basic details could matter.
You can also reach the family at FindingDeanna.com. 
If you have any information about Deanna or her disappearance, please contact the Killeen Police Department at 254-501-8891.

On the morning of August 12, 2005, a boater on Lake Huron came across a cabin cruiser drifting alone in the water, struggling against the wind and waves. When the Coast Guard arrived, they found the boat in neutral, with the radio still playing, and no one on board. 

The boat belonged to attorneys Lana Stempien and Chuck Rutherford, who had set out days earlier on a planned trip to Mackinac Island. There was no sign of them anywhere. 

Police quickly opened a missing persons investigation, and according to many, what investigators uncovered didn’t add up.

Then, nearly two weeks later, Lana’s body was recovered. Chuck was never found. To this day, what happened on that boat remains a mystery, leaving everyone wondering: what happened to Lana Stempien and Chuck Rutherford? 

If you have any information in this case, please call the Michigan State Police at 906-643-7582.
