Kara Kopetsky and Jessica Runions - Kara went missing May 4th 2007, she was 17 years old and was last seen on camera leaving her high school in Belton, Missouri. Around 9:19 a.m., Kara was captured by security video walking down the hall of the school, likely to skip third period, which she did quite often.

Jessica Runions was a 21-year-old woman from Kansas City, Missouri. She was last seen leaving a party on September 8, 2016 at 9:30 p.m., and her mother reported her missing the next day when she did not show up for a doctor appointment. Her car was discovered two days later in south Kansas City, burned and abandoned.
