    On the night of February 9, 2025, 18-year-old Megan Trussell was last seen leaving her dorm at the University of Colorado Boulder. Six days later, her body was found miles away—down a steep embankment in Boulder Canyon. She had scrapes, bruises, and contusions across her body and head. Her teeth were broken, and her phone, purse, and one of her shoes were missing.

    Weeks later, her phone turned up at an ecoATM—it had been sold by a stranger. Her purse was found miles away, torn at the clasp. Her other shoe has never been found. Despite all of this, authorities ruled that no foul play was involved.

    Megan’s family doesn’t agree. They believe a thorough investigation was never conducted—and that there are still too many unanswered questions. Their fight continues to find out what really happened to Megan.

    18-year-old Megan Trussell was last seen leaving her dorm at the University of Colorado Boulder on the night of February 9, 2025. Six days later, her body was found down a steep embankment in Boulder Canyon. She had scrapes, bruises, and a mass of undigested pills in her stomach. Her phone, purse, and one of her shoes were missing.

    Her phone was later sold at an ecoATM by a man with ties to the canyon encampment, and her purse was found miles away—torn at the clasp. Her missing shoe hasn’t been found.

  • 92: MURDER: Donna O'Steen

    92: MURDER: Donna O'Steen
    Jun 19 2025
    On the morning of November 8, 2001, 53-year-old Donna O’Steen was found murdered inside her home in Seattle. She had been bound with duct tape and stabbed multiple times. There were signs of a robbery—but it wasn’t clear if that was the real motive. There were no signs of forced entry, only a few random items were missing, and the killer had brought their own knife and duct tape.

    That raised a troubling question: had someone wanted Donna dead? But her family and friends couldn’t think of a single person who would want to hurt her. She had no enemies, no history of conflict, and no known threats.

    More than two decades later, her murder remains unsolved. And her family is still asking the same question: who would want Donna dead?

    Donna O’Steen was found murdered in her home in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle on the morning of November 8, 2001. She had been bound with duct tape and stabbed multiple times. There were signs of a ransacked bedroom, but only a few seemingly random items were taken. Despite sketches of two persons of interest and ongoing efforts by her family, Donna’s killer has never been identified.

    Anyone with information about Donna’s murder is asked to call the Seattle Police Department tip line at 206-233-5000.

  • 91: MISSING: Celina Mays

    91: MISSING: Celina Mays
    Jun 9 2025
    On the night of December 15, 1996, 12-year-old Celina Mays went to bed in her family home in Willingboro, New Jersey.

    By morning, she was gone.

    As police began investigating, they learned that when she disappeared, Celina was nine months pregnant and just days away from giving birth. They also learned that her family belonged to a controversial religious group led by her aunt—one that former members have described as a cult. This dynamic, along with reports that the aunt’s son had molested underage girls in the church, complicated the case.

    Twenty-nine years later, Celina has never been found, and detectives are still working to untangle what happened inside the church and to Celina and her unborn baby. And despite everything, they haven’t given up hope that she may still be alive.

    Celina Mays was last seen sometime overnight between December 15 and 16, 1996, at her home on Crestview Drive in Willingboro, New Jersey. She was 12 years old and nine months pregnant at the time. She was around 5 feet tall, weighing 120 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

    Anyone with information is asked to call the Willingboro Police Department at (609) 877-3001 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678.
