WithoutATrace is a community for discussing missing persons cases - both open and closed. We tend to focus on cold cases, but we do discuss more recent disappearances as well. You are welcome to post about missing people here!

Welcome to the subreddit! This is the place for those cases of people who have disappeared, gone missing and the stories behind it. Pictures, news stories, videos and discussion regarding those instances of people mysteriously going missing are appreciated.

Please provide a synopsis for any YouTube channel links, any podcasts, or blogs. We do need more than a screenshot of a poster or clipping!

THIS SUBREDDIT TENDS TO FOCUS ON COLD CASES RATHER THAN THE RECENT DISAPPEARANCE OF PEOPLE. Some cases are so old that it is never likely to discover what happened...

Link Flair:

Cold Case — For those missing cases that police and the public consider cold, after a few years or decades

Missing — For recent cases of people going missing in the last year.

Update — News articles related to a person who has gone missing, whether the police or family are trying to get information or the publics notice about a case or a person has been found either dead or alive

Historical — Cases from centuries ago without a resolution

Please post relevant info to the case in the comments!

Missing Person: Shaun David Steward

I am reaching out to this community for assistance in finding Shaun David Steward, who went missing from Phoenix, Arizona, on February 1, 2008. Shaun was 29 years old at the time of his disappearance and was last known to be living in the vicinity of North 7th Avenue and West Indian School Road. Despite leading a transient lifestyle, he always maintained contact with his family during holidays, but there has been no word from him since that day. I am Shaun's son.

Here are some links with more information about Shaun's case:

The Unsolved Disappearance of Trevell Lamar Henley — 1999

Before his disappearance, Trevell Henley had shown interest in joining the Bloodstone Villains gang, which included his 19-year-old friend Dalin Green as a member. Trevell may have been subjected to a severe beating as part of the initiation process, and it’s reported that he accidentally shot himself in the hand four days before he went missing.

Trevell was last seen walking toward Dalin Green’s home. After his disappearance, police searched Green’s residence and discovered evidence indicating a possible homicide. They found bloodstains, handguns, spent bullets, and shell casings, along with Trevell’s identification. Due to this evidence and Green’s violent criminal record, Green became the primary suspect in Trevell’s case, although he has never been charged.

Trevell’s brother, Tywan, was murdered in 2009. In Tywan’s obituary, Trevell was noted as having “preceded him in death.” Both siblings were raised by their grandmother. Trevell was a student at Medina Middle School, enjoyed sports and reading, and did not have a juvenile record at the time he went missing.

In their father’s obituary, Trevell was also listed as predeceased. Trevell and Tywan were survived by one brother, two stepbrothers, two stepsisters, and their grandmother, who had cared for them since childhood.

Trevell’s remains have not been found, and his case remains unsolved.

Where is Tania Murell

Tania was last seen leaving her first grade classroom at Grovner elementary school in Edmonton Alberta around 11 a.m on January 20th 1983. She was headed home to eat lunch which was located 2 blocks away but she never returned.

My question is why would they let a 6 year old walk home alone to eat lunch

Jeffrey was three when he was playing in his front yard, and got permission from his mom to play with his best friend Rodney. He never arrived. There are several possibilities on what happened to Jeffrey however the authorities think he’s still alive somewhere.

Where is James Candy

Sometime between 11 p.m. on August 6th 2017, and 9:30 the next morning, 17 year old James Candy crawled out of his bedroom window on his family’s farm in Vegreville, Alberta, and disappeared.

He was relentlessly bullied at school and struggled with many things… could James have taken his own life or met someone or even started a new life

BREAKING NEWS: Jaliek Rainwalker’s remains possibly found in Troy, NY

UPDATE FROM TROY PD: Unfortunately, it was not Jaliek :( However, people are starting to guess that it MAY be Suzanne Lyall? We will see.. just pray for whoever’s family this is. Please.

UPDATE: Statement from Jaliek’s grandmother included.

https://www.news10.com/news/skeletal-remains-found-in-troy-renew-hope-in-missing-persons-case-from-2007/amp/

Hi! I’m a local of the Troy, NY area. Jaliek Rainwalker was about 3 years older than me when he mysteriously disappeared without a trace in 2007. Local news stations have been posting that a “non adult” human skull has been found near Burden Pond in Troy yesterday that is believed to be that of Jaliek Rainwalker’s. It was found in the same area that was searched two years ago, where his “father’s” phone was pinged.

Upstate NY is so small and this is only being shown on local news outlets. Local law enforcement is hugely suggesting it may be Jaliek. I want to spread the word about this because I know there are thousands of people around the world who want to bring Jaliek home!! Let’s pray he gets his justice!!!

Ashley Norah went missing in 2002 at age 17. There are incredibly few details in her case and apparently zero leads.

It always stumps me when missing persons cases, especially when its a child, has essentially nothing to go on…
