## Iraena Asher

### Classification

Suspected accident

**Iraena Te Rama Awhina Asher** was a young woman who disappeared from Piha, New Zealand on 11 October 2004. Suicide and foul play have been ruled out and authorities believe she may have drowned in the sea amid a mental breakdown.

According to Asher's family, she suffers from Bipolar Disorder. Her father Mike Asher went missing on 2 January 2023 and was found 3 days later. He is suspected to have died from a heart attack.

## Case

At 9 pm on 11 October 2004, Iraena Asher called New Zealand's emergency number stating she was concerned for her safety. Despite available police cars, the police chose instead to send a taxi, citing situations of people falsely calling 111 to get a free ride home. The taxi was sent but went to another street on the incorrect side of town. Iraena was found sometime later by local couple Julia Woodhouse and Bobbie Carroll, who took her to their home for several hours. At 1:10 am, she left their home and was spotted walking towards Piha Beach, partly clothed. This is her last known sighting.

Jamie Fraley

**Jamie Michelle Fraley** was a young woman who vanished in 2008.

## Case

Jamie vanished from her apartment at the Copperfield Apartment Complex in the 1800 Block of Lowell Bethesda Road in Gastonia, North Carolina on April 8, 2007. She was suffering with stomach flu which she'd gone to the hospital for twice the previous day and called her mother at around midnight to let her know she wasn't feeling well. She then called a friend at approximately 1:30 A.M. to say she was going back to the hospital and had someone who was coming to collect her.

Jamie left her wallet, purse, keys and identification in her apartment. Her phone was missing though and she had made several phone calls at 4:30 A.M. that day. However, these turned out to be from her list of recent call dials and are not considered relevant in her case. Her phone also received a call in the early morning hours of April 9, 2008. On April 10, 2008 her phone was found at the intersection of south New Hope Road and east Hudson Boulevard, but it had been handled by too many people to be considered valuable evidence.

Jamie's soon to be father in law, Ricky Dale Simonds Sr. is a person of interest in her case. He lived two apartments across from Jamie and had taken her to the ER only hours before she vanished. He also had a criminal record for manslaughter, fraud, larceny and drugs related charges. In June 2008, he was found deceased in the boot of a woman who had a restraining order against him and his death was ruled as accidental. Investigators believe that this occurred while he was attempting to hide there and ambush her.

In 2015, Jerry Douglas Case, a convicted murder, confessed to killing Jamie. He was incarcerated when he wrote a letter to the Gaston Gazette claiming to have murdered Jamie and another woman from the area. However, as he was incarcerated at the time of her disappearance this is considered implausible.

Police do not believe Jamie left of her own accord. Her fiancée isn't considered a suspect in her case as he was incarcerated at the time of her disappearance.

## Characteristics

* Blonde hair.
* Blue eyes.
* She had "Ricky" tattooed on her right ankle.
* She had bipolar disorder.
* She had an unspecified anxiety disorder.

## Clothing and accessories

* A large white t-shirt.
* Blue jeans.

James Carolan

**James Carolan** was a United States Navy sailor who was last seen on September 22, 1918 when the USS Ticonderoga left New York. The Ticonderoga was shortly destroyed by a German U-Boat SM *U-152*.

## Case

James Carolan enlisted in the United States Navy from Chelsea, Massachusetts. He was assigned as a Seaman, Second Class to the steamer USS Ticonderoga which was commissioned on January 5, 1918. Between January and September 1918, the *Ticonderoga* took several trips between the United States and Europe, bringing cargo and supplies to the Allies during World War I.

On September 22, 1918, the *Ticonderoga* left New York bound for Europe in a convoy. During the night of September 29th and September 30th, the steamer developed engine trouble and dropped behind the convoy. On 5:20 AM of September 30th, she was spotted by German U-boat SM *U-152*. The steamer and submarine fought for the next two hours and it was at 7:45 AM when the *Ticonderoga* began to sink.

Unfortunately, of the 237 sailors and soldiers on the ship, only 24 of them survived. Twenty-two were rescued by the British steamer SS *Moorish Prince* four days later and the other two were captured by the Germans and transported to Kiel, Germany. Carolan was not among any of the men that were captured or rescued.

Carolan was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and presumably the World War I Victory Medal and the Navy Expeditionary Medal. His name is also memorialized at the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in Suresnes, France.

James Carolan remains part of the 4,223 Americans who remain unaccounted for during World War I. Additionally, he is one of 178 servicemen from Massachusetts who are unaccounted for during World War I. Their cases are not under investigation by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.

* Age progressed

**Jason "Jas" Andrew Knapp** was a young man who vanished in 1998. His car was later found in a state park.

## Background

Jas was originally from New York and had spent time in Pennsylvania. At the time of his disappearance he was an ROTC student at Clemson University. He was hoping to eventually work for a NASCAR team and enjoyed driving at fast speeds. He also liked mountain biking and target shooting.

Days before he vanished Jas had joined Clemson's elite Pershing Rifles. He had also been looking for a new apartment with a friend just the day before his disappearance.

## Case

Jas vanished from his apartment at the University Terrace Apartments at Clemson University in South Carolina on April 11, 1998. He was last seen by one of his roommates at around 10:00 P.M. that night. When he didn't show up at his residence for several days his roommates became concerned and contacted his mother. He was subsequently reported missing.

Jas's white 1990 Chevrolet Beretta with the Pennsylvania license plate number APV9032 was found at Table Rock State Park in Pickens, South Carolina on April 21, 1998. The area was 30 miles away from his residence and contained very rugged terrain. Inside the vehicle there was a receipt from a local Wendy's restaurant dated April 12, 1998 at 1:30 P.M. and a receipt from an Ingles store for a six-pack of soda and a container of fruit juice that was also date April 12. $50 in change was left in the console.

Authorities believe Jas arrived at the park on April 12, however, they are unsure if he was alone. His fingerprints were found on a park admission ticket, showing he arrived sometime between 3:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M.. There were no signs of foul play at the scene and an extensive, two week search of the area Jas's car was found in failed to uncover any new evidence.

There is no evidence to suggest Jas was planning to commit suicide. He owned a rifle but left it behind in his bedroom. There is also no evidence he was planning to run away as he took few personal belongings with him. His camping gear, clothing, chequebook and suitcase were all left behind. Jas made his last bank withdrawal, £20, on the day of his disappearance.

## Characteristics

* Brown hair.
* Blue eyes.
* He had a faint scar on the knuckle of his right middle finger.
* His blood type was B-positive.

## Clothing and accessories

* A white T-shirt.
* Blue jeans.
* Blue sneakers.
* A watch.
* Possibly a hat with the Army ROTC insignia on it.
* Possibly an an expired prescription card.

## Jim Hysong Jr.

### Classification

Suspected accident
Suspected homicide
Suspected suicide

**James Robert "Jim" Hysong Jr.** is a young man who went missing when flying an airplane from Toledo, Ohio on March 15, 1993. His disappearance remains a sources of speculation.

## Case

James Hysong Jr. was last climbing into a two-seat 1993 Piper Cherokee Arrow with a tail number of N15206 he was renting at the Toledo Suburban Airport at 10:15 AM of March 15, 1993. He planned for a short trip to Jackson, Michigan where he planned to take an exam to become a flight instructor. He did not have a flight plan for this trip.

Theoretically, the flight should have took twenty minutes top, but Federal Aviation Administration air logs show that, after climbing to 4,800 feet, Hysong's plane bypassed the airport in Jackson by several miles southeast. The plane continued past Grand Rapids, Michigan and Grand Haven, Michigan and disappeared over Lake Michigan an hour after take off. An extensive search by volunteer pilots from the Michigan Chapter of Civil Air Patrol that included the use of sonar imagery lasted six weeks, but nothing, not even any plane parts, was found.

At the time of his disappearance, Hysong was living in Sylvania Township, Ohio and was an accomplished pilot. He attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida for a year, but he did not meet the requirements for graduation. Nevertheless, he gain some pilot experience from his time at the university.

There are several theories of what happened to Hysong. Some investigators think he crashed the plane into Lake Michigan on accident. Other investigators think he committed suicide, for reasons unclear, and crashed into Lake Michigan. Alternatively, a private detective for Hysong's family suggested he stole the plane with the intention of selling it, and met with foul play when crossing the wrong people. The aircraft was listed as stolen in the FAA database, as well as in the national databases of the Law Enforcement Information Network and the National Crime Information Center on July of 1994.

On four different occasions, the FAA reported instances of pilots around the country using the tail number of the missing aircraft when doing radio weather checks or purchasing fuel. There was no hard evidence or eyewitness accounts to suggest anyone saw an aircraft with that tail number, however.

The aircraft, which was worth $40,000, was filed under an insurance claim and the owner of the plane was compensated for the loss. No pieces of the missing plane have been recovered and Hysong's fate remains unclear, but it is believed he is now deceased. As of November 2020, he has been ruled out as being the identity of over twenty unidentified decedents according to NamUs.

John Reamer

**John Baptiste Reamer**, who also used the last name **Hanson**, was a young man who vanished from Helena, Montana in 1994 under mysterious circumstances.

## Case

During the night of March 26, 1994, Reamer's girlfriend, Darcy Kamerman, dropped him off at his apartment after spending time with their son and Kamerman's mother. According to Kamerman, there was a man whom she was unfamiliar with at the apartment but assumed that Reamer knew him from a video store where he often rented Nintendo games.

Next morning, Reamer spoke to Kamerman and her mother before leaving for his classes at Carroll College. Neither of the women detected anything unusual during this conversation with him. This was the last time he was heard from. After they were unable to reach Reamer for two days, they asked a friend to check on him. When the friend could not get an answer, he was reported missing.

Upon checking Reamer's apartment, they found his personal belongings including his school textbooks and wallet. Nothing except his favorite cowboy hat was missing. His car was also parked outside.

Reamer was under state supervision and had a felony assault conviction on his record from a 1992 bar fight in Manhattan, Montana. He got a six-year deferred sentence, along with 331 days in the Gallatin County detention center spent awaiting trial. Reamer suffered from bipolar disorder and was not taking his medication at the time of the altercation.

There were times when his close contacts feared Reamer was suicidal. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol and was referred to a chemical dependency program. In December 1993, his probation officer recommended that Reamer's deferred sentence be reinstated after he had failed to complete his treatment, and had been arrested for two DUIs in earlier that year. Reamer's bank accounts were left with a positive balance after he disappeared. He worked as a contractor and made several phone calls to fishing companies in Alaska where he worked before.

## Characteristics

* Brown hair.
* Brown eyes.
* Tattoo with a memorial design with the words "Makah Nation" encircled around a red, yellow and green Native American logo containing two serpents on his upper arm, with two feathers hanging down below his elbow.

**John Rogers Hall** was an Australian Army soldier who went missing in action during the Korean War on 3 October 1952. As of 2022, he is one of 43 Australians who remain unaccounted for during the Korean War.

## Case

John Hall was born on 20 January 1920 in Charlton, Victoria, Australia. Later in life, he joined the Australian Army, becoming a Private of the Reinforcement Holding Unit in Japan. His service number was 5/400213.

Jennifer Dulos

**Jennifer R. Dulos** was an author from New Canaan, Connecticut, who was last seen on May 24, 2019

## Case

Jennifer Dulos was last seen dropping her five children off at New Canaan Country School at 8:00 am and at 8:05 am on the neighborhood security cameras. She missed two doctor's appointments for 11:00 am and 1:00 pm that day.

At 7:00 pm that evening, two of her friends reported her missing after being unable to get in contact with her. Her Range Rover was in the garage and was the vehicle she was supposed to take to her appointments. Her Chevrolet Suburban was missing.

Jennifer was undergoing a messy divorce with her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos. When the house was searched, detectives found blood on the door, floor, and a wall of the garage, as well as on the side of the Range Rover. There was also blood all over the kitchen. When tested, all of this blood turned out to be Jennifer's. However, the blood on the kitchen faucet was a mix of Jennifer's and Fotis's. The neighborhood security cameras caught her Chevrolet Suburban. Fotis was believed to be the one driving and was thought to be carrying Jennifer's body and cleaning items.

That day, around 7:30 pm, security cameras spotted Fotis in Hartford, CT, dumping garbage into thirty bins. When searched, the trash bags were found to have bloodstained cleaning and clothing items, as well as a glove containing Fotis's DNA on it. The blood was proven to be Jennifer's. The Chevrolet Suburban was later found abandoned on the side of a road. Fotis was arrested in 2019 for tampering with evidence and then was charged with Jennifer's murder in 2020. Fotis Dulos died in 2020 after he poisoned himself with carbon monoxide. Jennifer's cell phone and credit card have had no activity since the day of her disappearance, and her body has never been found.

However, the back door of the house was broken at the time and could not lock.

Jimmy Hoffa

**James Riddle** "**Jimmy**" **Hoffa** (February 14, 1913 – disappeared July 30, 1975) was an American labor union leader who served as the President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) union from 1958 until 1971. He disappeared in late July 1975 at the age of 62.

Hoffa started to become involved with organized crime from his time with Teamsters. In 1964, he was convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, and fraud. He was eventually sent to prison in 1967 for bribery for 13 years. As part of a pardon agreement with President Richard Nixon, he stepped down as president of the union and was barred from participating in union activities until 1980.

## Disappearance

Hoffa disappeared from the parking lot of Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Township, a suburb of Detroit on July 30, 1975. Based on what he had told others, it is believed he was going to meet with two Mafia leaders named Anthony Giacalone and Anthony Provenzano. Provenzano had previously been close to Jimmy and was also a union leader with the Teamsters based in New Jersey. He had also previously threatened to kidnap and harm Hoffa's granddaughter.

Hoffa left home at 1:15 pm. At 2:15 pm, he called his wife from a pay phone directly behind the Red Fox to complain about Giacalone being late. He told her he would be home by 4 pm. Witnesses observed Hoffa pacing outside in the restaurant's parking lot and standing by his car. He was also seen by two men emerge from the Red Fox after a long lunch who recognised him.

On the next day at 7 am, Jimmy's wife called her son and daughter by telephone, informing them that their father had not returned home. At 7:20 am, Louis Linteau, one of Jimmy's close friends, went to the Red Fox and found Jimmy's unlocked car in the parking lot, but there was no sign of what happened to him. Linteau then called the police, who arrived at the scene. Later that day, Jimmy's son filed a missing person report.

There have been many years of extensive investigation by numerous law enforcement agencies, including the FBI but no conclusion has been reached regarding Hoffa's fate. Giacalone and Provenzano were found not to have been near the restaurant that afternoon and each denied they had a scheduled meeting with Hoffa.

Hoffa was declared legally dead on July 30, 1982. His disappearance continues to be the subject of rumor and speculation.

Jen Wix

* Age progressed

**Jennifer "Jen" Kay Wix** was a young woman who went missing alongside her daughter, Adrianna "Nina" Wix, in 2004. Her photo shows her age progressed to 31 years. As of February 2023, there is a $25,000 reward for information in their case.

## Case

Jen and her daughter lived with her boyfriend, William "Joey" Benton, and his family. According to Joey, he and Jen got into an argument on the day of her disappearance. He said he dropped Jen and Nina off at a gas station near Exit 112 off Interstate 65 sometime between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. on March 25 and watched them enter a white four-door car. This changed from his original story, where he said that Jen and Nina had left the house with an unknown individual.

Joey stated that Jen returned in the same white car the next day without Nina. She allegedly asked for her income tax return but left without it, saying she would be back. She never returned. This story has never been verified. The last time anyone besides Joey had contact with Jen was at 11:00 a.m. on March 25, when she spoke to her father on the phone. Jen and Nina were reported missing by Jen's mother on March 27.

In 2013, Jen and Nina's case was reclassified as a homicide. Joey is considered a person of interest by investigators. Multiple searches have turned up no sign of Jen or Nina, and they are considered endangered.

Jenny Patterson

**Jennifer "Jenny" Nicole Patterson** was a child who vanished in 1991.

## Case

Jenny was last seen leaving her home at the Holly Hills Mobile Home Park in Spring Lake, North Carolina at approximately 1:15 P.M. on June 23, 1991. She was planning to walk to a neighbors house, but she never arrived and has not been seen or heard from since. She was subsequently reported missing at 6:00 P.M. that evening. An extensive search of the area failed to find her.

At the time of her disappearance, Jenny's parents were divorced and engaged in a custody battle over her. Her father, Alan Patterson, was scheduled to take a paternity test as a result. While the two were still living together at the time they separated afterwards.

Alan told police that Jenny was only missing as a result of the custody dispute and was being cared for. However, he later insisted that he had been speaking "hypothetically" and never meant for this to be taken literally. Alan also failed a polygraph test.

Alan maintains his innocence but is considered the prime suspect in his daughter's disappearance. No evidence could be found which indicated Jenny had left her home that day. Authorities believe Jenny is deceased.

## Characteristics

* Sandy brown hair.
* Brown eyes.
* She had a scar on her right temple.
* She had a scar between her eyes.
