Bud Shinabery

**Willard Edwin "Bud" Shinabery** was one of eleven United States Navy sailors who disappeared following the sinking of the USS Worden on January 12, 1943.

## Background

Willard Shinabery was born to Sarah and Edwin Shinabery in Fostoria, Ohio on October 10, 1923. He was the second of their six children and was nicknamed "Bud." At some point in his life, he enlisted in the United States Navy from Bellevue, Ohio and was assigned a Fireman, Second Class, at the USS Worden.

## Disappearance

During the Aleutian Islands Campaign, a strong current swept the destroyer USS Worden onto a pinnacle that tore into a hull beneath the engine room and caused a complete loss of power. The destroyer then broached and began breaking up in the surf that an evacuation was ordered. The crew of the Worden, who were just dispatched from the South Pacific via California, were inexperienced and received little, if any, artic training. Most had stripped to their underwear before diving in the Bering Sea because they mistakenly thought their navy pea coats and pants would cause them to drown. In reality, the sailors in the water drowned or succumbed to hypothermia without shirts and pants.

However, most of the crew of the USS Worden survived and were picked up by the USS Dewey (DD-349) and the USS Arthur Middleton (APA-25). Fourteen of the sailors, including Shinabery, were killed, but only three were recovered and identified.

## Aftermath

After his death, Shinabery was awarded the Purple Heart and memorialized at the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial in Honolulu, Hawaii. Additionally, he has a memorial marker at Bellevue Cemetery in Bellevue.

Two months after accident, the partial remains of a sailor washed up on Amchitka Island. Although the remains were presumed to be one of the still-missing eleven, the remains were never identified and were subsequently buried in Plot Section K #30 in Sitka National Cemetery in Sitka, Alaska.

Willard Edwin "Bud" Shinabery remains among the over 72,000 Americans who remain unaccounted for in World War II. The DPAA has listed his case as being under Active Pursuit.

## Carol Arcuri

### Classification

Suspected homicide

**Carol Arcuri (née Ahrens)** was a woman who disappeared in Florida in 1980. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance.

## Case

Carol was in the process of a divorce with Jack Arcuri. Carol had allegedly told loved ones that Jack had bound her hands, threatened her with a gun, and attempted to strangle her several days prior to her disappearance. Carol's daughter stated red marks were visible around her neck and wrists. Carol's symptoms of yellow eyes, epistaxis, headaches, and a cough was determined to be caused by iron deficiency during her visit to a doctor on November 17 (5 days prior to disappearance). These symptoms, however, are also consistent with attempted strangulation.

Jack maintained his innocence, refused to cooperate with investigators, and hired an attorney. Jack committed suicide in 1982. Nobody has been charged in Carol's disappearance, however, but it is believed to be a homicide.

Connie Smith

**Constance Christine "Connie" Smith** (born July 11, 1942) was a young girl who disappeared after running away from a summer camp she was attending.

## Background

Connie lived in Wyoming, where her grandfather was a Wyoming state governor. She was described to be "well-traveled," got along with adults, other children, and loved animals, specifically horses.

## Case

Connie spent a part of her summer at Camp Sloane in Salisbury, Connecticut. On the morning of her disappearance, she'd received a bloody nose after an altercation with several other female campers. That same morning, Connie told her tent mates she was skipping breakfast to return an ice pack to the camp dispensary, which she used last night after hurting her lip from falling out of her tent.

Instead, Connie left the ice pack in her tent and ditched Camp Sloane, not taking any money or extra clothes with her. After abandoning Camp Sloane, she walked down Indian Mountain Road. Several people saw her along the roadside, where she was picking daisies and asking people how she could get to Lakeville, Connecticut, as she was supposedly homesick and didn't want to stay for the final week of camp. However, when Connie's mother visited her at camp two days before her disappearance she was in a good mood and requested to stay at Camp Sloane longer, although she wasn't upset when her mother declined.

The last time Connie was seen was later that day by a husband and wife. They saw her attempting to hitchhike near the intersection of U.S. Route 44 and Belgo Road. Camp counselors reported her missing three hours after she left Camp Sloane.

Connie was previously ruled out as the identity of Little Miss X, but this is being reexamined.

## Suspect

William Henry Redmond, a former carnie, is suspected to have involvement in Connie's disappearance. William had been charged with murdering an eight-year-old Jane Marie Althoff one year prior to Connie's disappearance. He was sent back to his home state of Nebraska after he was determined mentally unfit to stand trial for the murder.

In the 1980s, he confessed to another prison inmate that he'd killed four people throughout his life. William is also a suspect in the 1951 disappearance of Beverly Potts from Ohio. Unfortunately, authorities are unable to determine whether William was in the Connecticut area when Connie went missing and he passed a polygraph test about her disappearance. He died in 1992.

## Characteristics

* Dark-blond, shoulder-length hair.
* Blue eyes.
* "Unusually-long" arms.
* Flat feet.
* Faint scar below the right nostril.

Camilla Bini

**Camilla Bini** was a young woman who vanished from Turin in 1989.

## Background

Camilla Bini was born in Somalia in 1955 to an Italian father and a Somali mother and moved to Turin, Italy. She eventually found herself a good job at a well-known company called Bolaffi Francobolli and decided to move into an apartment. She was held in high regard at work and lived a very independent life, but she was known to be quiet and kept to herself.

## Case

Camilla was last seen on 8 August, 1989 in Turin, Italy. At approximately 6:30 that evening, she met with a neighbor and the two had a drink together. According to the man, this was their way of saying “goodbye” to one another before Camilla left for a holiday. A few days earlier, Camilla had told her sister, Giuliana, that she was planning to visit some friends in Puglia, but she was also considering going to Varazze instead, and that she would be leaving shortly. It is unclear if Camilla ever left as planned and this delayed Camilla being reported missing, as people weren’t expecting to see her around.

Camille was due back at work on August 28, and when she failed to arrive, this concerned her colleagues. As a result, the company notified her family of the situation at 9:30. It is unclear if this was 9:30 A.M. or 9:30 P.M. After confirming that Camilla wasn’t staying with family or friends, Giuliana when to the police station to officially report her as a missing person.

When Camilla’s apartment was searched, it was found to be well-organized and nothing was out of place. Her fridge was still full of food and she had recently used two glasses and two coffee cups, one of which had lipstick smeared on it. The Carabinieri thoroughly investigated Camilla’s life before her disappearance, but nothing came of this.

In the spring of 1998, Giuliana contacted the magistrate who was supposed to have Camilla’s case file. However, when the prosecutors' office tried to find the file, they were unable to find it.

In 2003, Camilla’s case was taken on by Chi l’ha Visto and as a result, it came to light that Camilla may have left with her friend and colleague Beatrice Della Croce. Bella’s boyfriend, Paolo Stroppina, who also worked at Bolaffi Francobolli, was under investigation for the disappearance of another woman, Marina Di Modica and he was involved in two other criminal cases. Camilla told Giuliana that she didn’t think Paola knew much about the two cases he was involved in, but Giuliana thinks he was much more involved in them than she suggested.

Camilla’s case may be linked to the disappearances of Erica Pierno, Sabina Badami, Mariangela Corradin, and Letiza Teglia.

Her case was reopened in 2011.

* Dark hair.
* Dark eyes.
* She was of Somali and Italian descent.

* Age progressed

**Christopher "Chris" Louis Zaharias** was a toddler who was abducted by his mother, Susan Zaharias, along with his 1-year-old sister, Lisa Mae Zaharias. His photo is shown age-progressed to 37 years.

## Case

Chris’ father, Louis, last saw him and his sister on November 20, 1987, when he left the house to calm down after an argument with Susan. While he was at work that day, Susan fled with the children, possibly with the help of relatives.

Chris, Lisa Mae, and Susan may be traveling in a black 1986 Toyota 4-Runner with license plate number 2X85442. Susan and her children reportedly lived with relatives in Pennsylvania for a short time after their disappearances. In 1988, there was a sighting of them in Detroit, Michigan. Susan may have taken the children to Oklahoma or Pennsylvania, where she had relatives, or to Canada or Northern California.

In 2016, Susan’s mother, Norma, died. In her obituary, Chris, Lisa Mae, and Susan were all listed as surviving relatives. Authorities believe that Norma, along with other family members, were helping Susan conceal her children. Police have further stated that they had evidence that Susan, Chris, and Lisa Mae are alive and that there were family members in contact with them. Despite this, their current whereabouts are unknown and Louis continues to search for his children.

A felony warrant for Crimes Against Persons was issued for Susan on February 17, 1988. Additionally, there is a warrant out for her arrest for custodial interference. Susan was reportedly addicted to cocaine and crystal methamphetamine at the time she abducted Chris and Lisa Mae.

Courtney Holden

**Courtney Corrinna Holden** was a woman who went missing from Spokane, Washington in July 2018.

## Background

Courtney entered the foster system at an early age and was later adopted by the Holden family, who were already caring for several foster children.

When Courtney disappeared, she lived in the household with her son and adoptive brother, Joshua. He was known to be violent and angry and exhibited erratic behavior. He also had a criminal record of domestic violence, rape, and burglary.

It is known that Courtney was not allowed to leave the house during the day, only did housework and was very socially isolated. She turned to neighbors who noticed bruises, and Courtney said her stepbrother was going out of control.

Courtney's son also called her adoptive mother and stepbrother 'Mom' and 'Dad' - he only called his mother, Courtney, by her first name.

## Case

Courtney was last seen outside the Holden family in the summer of 2018: a neighbor saw her leave her house with a large travel bag, after which her stepbrother rudely brought her back into the house.

Courtney last picked up a drug in July 2018, which she took regularly.

When asked where Courtney was, her stepmother and stepbrother replied that she was out with her boyfriend or didn't want to speak to anyone.

Courtney's ex-boyfriend's new partner, who said she hadn't seen Courtney for over two years, got the ball rolling. When she visited the Holden's house, she only saw Courtney's son.
A short time later, a woman who pretended to be Courtney reported to the police. However, it quickly emerged that the caller was Courtney's adoptive sister, who did not reveal why she pretended to be Courtney when asked.
Joshua and Judy were also seen buying food with groceries from the disappeared.

In October, investigators found Joshua and Judy had moved from Spokane and were in Texas with Courtney's son. The two were arrested and charged with identity theft, access to Courtney's bank account and the kidnapping of Courtney's son.

Although Courtney's body was not found, nor did the Holdens admit to having anything to do with Courtney's disappearance, investigators are convinced that Judy and Joshua had something to do with the disappearance.
