Detective Perspective

In the early morning hours of August 13, 2005, 13-year-old Alex Anaya vanished from her home in Hammond, Indiana, just outside of Chicago. For weeks, her family was left wondering where she was and whether she was okay. They searched for answers, hoping Alex would come home.
Then, on September 7, they got the news no family ever wants to hear. Alex had been found. She had been the victim of a horrific crime that would leave her family and community in shock. Nearly 21 years later, her murder remains unsolved, leaving everyone with the same question: what kind of monster could do something like this?

On October 12, 2002, 25-year-old Paula Wade and her 3-year-old son, Brandon, were last seen in Valdosta, Georgia, just days before they were supposed to move to Florida for a fresh start. Paula had been packing up their apartment and was looking forward to being closer to family, but they never made that move.
When Paula missed a scheduled call with her parents on the 13th and failed to show up for work on the 14th, they were reported missing. Their apartment was searched, and all of their belongings were found inside.
More than 20 years later, Paula and Brandon have never been found. Their disappearance remains an open case, and their family is still searching for answers.
If you have any information about Paula and Brandon, please contact the FBI’s Atlanta Field Office at (770) 216-3000.
To support Paula’s family, please share their flyers and this episode.

On February 8, 2005, 43-year-old Dr. Geetha Angara went to work at a water treatment facility in Totowa, New Jersey, where she worked as a senior chemist. She was last seen heading to the plant’s basement to complete a routine task.
But Geetha was never seen again, and hours after her shift ended, her car was still in the employee lot and her coat was at her desk. No one could explain where she had gone.
After an extensive search, her body was eventually found inside one of the facility’s massive water tanks. Investigators determined she had been assaulted and then drowned.
More than 20 years later, no one has been charged, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible.
If you have any information that could help solve Geetha’s case, you can call the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office at 1-877-370-PCPO or email [email protected].

On June 27, 2004, 30 year old April Pitzer was last seen in Newberry Springs, California, after telling loved ones she was preparing to come back home to Arkansas. She had been terrified for her life and was desperate to return, but she never made it back.
In the months that followed, investigators received a series of strange and unsettling tips, including one involving a message written on a truck stop bathroom wall hundreds of miles away that appeared to reference her disappearance.
Investigators eventually determined April was likely murdered. But more than 20 years later, no one has been charged, and her family is still searching for answers, her remains, and the person responsible.

If you have any information in April’s case, please call the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department at (909) 387-3690.
