  • 123: The Disappearance of Yeda “Dede” Rosenthal | Missing Woman in New Jersey
    Feb 17 2026


    When 32-year-old Yeda “Dede” Rosenthal failed to show up for work in February 1991, her coworkers immediately knew something was wrong. Dede was a dedicated behavioral management specialist at the Elwyn Institute, known for her commitment to supporting autistic clients.

    A welfare check at her Cherry Hill, New Jersey apartment revealed troubling signs: an unlocked door, untouched newspapers, personal belongings left behind — and no sign of Dede. Her car was still in the parking lot. Her cat was left alone in the winter cold.

    In this episode of She Goes by Jane, we examine the unsolved disappearance of a missing woman whose remains have never been found, the early missteps in the investigation, and why Dede’s family has always believed she did not leave voluntarily.


    🎙️
    Featuring a special guest reading by actress Laura Ault.

  • 120: The Disappearance of Ann Gotlib, Part 2: The Confession Lost
    Jan 27 2026

    The 1983 disappearance of Ann Gotlib, a 12-year-old girl who vanished from outside a Louisville, Kentucky mall, has long been considered one of the city’s most troubling cold cases. In Part 2, the focus shifts from the search for Ann to the investigative failures that may have prevented her case from ever being solved.

    Years after Ann disappeared, a new confession surfaces in a Kentucky prison yard. It’s specific. It’s detailed. And it includes information that could finally move the investigation forward. But the confession didn’t come to police — it was shared with a fellow inmate, quietly and without witnesses.

    As detectives revisit Ann’s case decades later, they’re forced to confront a devastating question: what happens when the truth is spoken, but no one is listening? Ann Gotlib is still missing. And this episode explores whether the answers were there all along.

  • The Disappearance of Ann Gotlib: A Mall, a Missing Child, and a Confession (Part 1)
    Jan 20 2026

    In June 1983, 12-year-old Ann Gotlib vanished from outside Bashford Manor Mall in Louisville, Kentucky. Ann was a gifted pianist, writer, and recent immigrant whose family had fled the Soviet Union seeking a better life for her. What should have been an ordinary afternoon ended in one of Kentucky’s most haunting unsolved missing child cases.

    As Ann’s disappearance gripped the city, her case became part of a national reckoning about missing children in America. Her image spread across billboards and television screens, her name spoken alongside Adam Walsh and Etan Patz. But despite the attention, investigators found themselves chasing dead ends, unreliable witnesses, and theories that raised more questions than answers.

    Years later, a convicted killer on death row would claim he knew what happened to Ann. His confession sent investigators racing to dig up the past. But just as hope surged, the truth slipped further away. And beneath it all lay a disturbing question: what if the answer had been there all along — and no one listened?
