Sixteen-year-old Mekayla Bali spent the morning of April 12, 2016, moving across Yorkton, Saskatchewan. She went to school... for six minutes. She withdrew every dollar from her bank account. She tried to pawn a ring. She spent hours sitting in restaurants, checking her phone, waiting for someone. She told friends she was heading to Regina. Then, at approximately 1:45 p.m., she walked out of a bus depot restaurant and vanished.
What happened next remains one of Canada's most baffling missing person cases.
Was Mekayla planning to run away? Was she meeting someone she met online? Or did something go terribly wrong after a meeting she entered willingly?
Ten years later, her family is still searching for answers.

When 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery was finally reported missing in December 2021, investigators made a horrifying discovery: nobody had seen her in nearly two years. There were no school records, doctor's appointments or welfare checks. No confirmed sightings.
A little girl had seemingly vanished from the face of the earth while the very systems designed to protect her failed to notice she was gone.
In this episode of Serial Napper, we take a deep dive into the heartbreaking case of Harmony Montgomery. From her difficult childhood and the controversial custody decision that placed her with her father, Adam Montgomery, to the warning signs that were repeatedly ignored, we'll examine how a vulnerable little girl slipped through the cracks.
We'll also explore the shocking revelations that transformed Harmony's case from a missing child investigation into a homicide prosecution, including the testimony of Adam's estranged wife, Kayla Montgomery, the years-long search for Harmony's remains, and the 2024 murder trial that resulted in Adam's conviction.
But the story doesn't end there.
In 2025, Harmony's mother secured a multimillion-dollar settlement against the State of New Hampshire over allegations that child welfare agencies failed to protect her daughter. Then, in June 2026, the New Hampshire Supreme Court overturned Adam Montgomery's murder conviction, setting the stage for a possible retrial.
More than six years after Harmony disappeared, one heartbreaking fact remains unchanged: Harmony has never been found.

In 2017, 11-year-old Alex Batty left the UK for what was supposed to be a short holiday in Spain with his mother and grandfather. But when the trip ended, Alex never came home.
His grandmother, Susan Caruana, who was his legal guardian, received a chilling video message instead. In it, Alex appeared to read from a script, asking her not to look for him. Then he vanished.
For the next six years, Alex lived under fake names, moved through communes and remote communities across Spain and France, and was raised in a world shaped by conspiracy theories, anti-government beliefs, and an off-grid lifestyle. He rarely attended school, never put down roots, and slowly disappeared from the world that had once known him.
Then, in December 2023, a delivery driver spotted a teenager walking alone on a dark mountain road in the French Pyrenees. Carrying a backpack, a skateboard, and years of untold stories, Alex finally made a choice that would change everything.

In 1992, Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common while her two-year-old son watched helplessly. As Britain demanded answers, police became convinced they had found their killer. They hadn't. While investigators targeted Colin Stagg, the real murderer, Robert Napper, remained free.
On a summer morning in South West London, 23-year-old Rachel Nickell set out for a walk with her son Alex and their dog Molly. What should have been an ordinary day ended in one of Britain's most shocking and high-profile murders.
As the nation grieved, immense pressure mounted on the police to solve the case. Detectives became fixated on local dog walker Colin Stagg, launching a controversial undercover "honey trap" operation that would later be condemned by a judge as "deceptive conduct of the grossest kind."
But while police focused on the wrong man, a violent serial offender was hiding in plain sight.

In October 2020, a frantic woman called 911 from an Oklahoma highway, claiming she had just given birth on the side of the road. Covered in blood and clutching a newborn baby, she begged first responders to help save her child.
But there was one devastating problem. She had never been pregnant.
In this episode of Serial Napper, we examine the shocking case of Taylor Parker, a woman who spent months convincing friends, family, and even her boyfriend that she was expecting a baby girl. She posted ultrasound photos, pregnancy updates, hospital visits, and nursery plans. She documented a future that didn't exist.
As her fake due date approached, reality began closing in.
What happened next would leave 21-year-old Reagan Hancock and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn, dead and send shockwaves across the country.

On the morning of December 1, 2016, a teenage girl woke up to the sound of her mother's cellphone alarm ringing endlessly from the kitchen table.
Jennifer Hillier-Penney's purse was still there. Her coat was still there. Her boots, passport, vehicle, and personal belongings had all been left behind. Jennifer was nowhere to be found.
What followed was one of Newfoundland and Labrador's most haunting missing persons cases. For years, Jennifer's family searched for answers while rumours spread through the small town of St. Anthony. Many believed they knew what had happened, but the police made no arrest, and Jennifer's body was never found.
Then, behind the scenes, the RCMP launched one of the largest undercover Mr. Big operations in the province's history. Over four years, undercover officers built an elaborate fake criminal organization designed to gain the trust of one man: Jennifer's estranged husband, Dean Penney.
Seven years after Jennifer disappeared, a confession on a boat in Vancouver Harbour would change everything.

In August 2010, 20-year-old Amber Tuccaro flew from Fort McMurray to Edmonton with her young son, Jacob, hoping for a short getaway and a break from the stress of everyday life. Within hours, Amber vanished.
What followed became one of the most haunting unsolved cases in Canadian history.
Years later, the RCMP released a chilling audio recording captured during a 17-minute phone call Amber made while riding with an unidentified man down dark rural Alberta roads. In the recording, you can hear Amber slowly realizing something is terribly wrong as the driver calmly takes her in the opposite direction of where she wanted to go.
And somehow, despite the world hearing the possible killer’s voice… nobody has ever been charged.
If you have any information about Amber Tuccaro’s murder, please contact Alberta RCMP or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

In 2008, millions of Americans watched the Stockdale family on Wife Swap and saw a deeply religious, old-fashioned family trying to shield their children from the modern world. They lived on a rural Ohio farm, homeschooled their sons, banned television and dating, and spent their lives performing together as a bluegrass gospel band.
To some viewers, they seemed wholesome and disciplined. To others, deeply unsettling.
Nearly a decade later, the Stockdales would make headlines again for something far darker.
On June 15th, 2017, deputies responded to a 911 hang-up call at the family farmhouse and discovered a horrifying scene: 54-year-old Kathy Stockdale and her youngest son James had been shot to death. Nearby was 25-year-old Jacob Stockdale, alive after a failed suicide attempt.
As investigators searched for answers, people began revisiting the old Wife Swap episode looking for clues. Had the family’s extreme isolation played a role? Did years of emotional repression contribute to what happened? Or was this ultimately the result of severe mental illness hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly disciplined family life?

The Eastburn family looked like the picture of a happy military family in 1985. Gary Eastburn was away at training. His wife Kathryn was home in North Carolina with their three little girls, preparing for the family’s upcoming move to England.
Then, on Mother’s Day weekend, a neighbour noticed newspapers piling up in the driveway.
Inside the house, police would find a scene so brutal it would haunt investigators for decades. Kathryn Eastburn and her daughters, Kara and Erin, had been murdered. Only 22-month-old Jana survived, found alone in her crib after spending days trapped inside the home.
Almost immediately, suspicion fell on a fellow serviceman named Timothy Hennis, a husband and father who had visited the Eastburn home just days earlier after answering an ad about the family dog.
What followed became one of the most shocking legal sagas in true crime history:a conviction, a death sentence, an acquittal, and then a DNA bombshell twenty years later that changed everything all over again.

Betty Broderick became one of America’s most infamous killers. She also became something much stranger: a woman thousands of people thought they understood.
In 1989, Betty walked into the San Diego home of her ex-husband, high-powered attorney Dan Broderick, and his new wife, Linda Kolkena, and shot them while they slept. The murders shocked the country. But what shocked people even more was how divided the reaction became afterward.
Because this was a murder story about a marriage that rotted slowly and publicly over years. About betrayal, obsession, humiliation, aging, power, and the terrifying feeling of being replaced in your own life.
Before the headlines, Betty was the loyal Catholic wife who worked and sacrificed while Dan built his fortune. Together they climbed from struggling young parents living on food stamps to wealthy La Jolla socialites with luxury cars, private schools, and country club memberships.
Then Dan left her for a younger woman. And Betty unraveled in ways that became impossible to ignore.

Melanie Uribe was just trying to get to work.
On December 15th, 1980, the 31-year-old nurse and single mother vanished on her way to a night shift in California. Hours later, her burned truck was discovered abandoned on a dead-end road. Witnesses reported hearing screams and seeing men force their way into her vehicle at a stoplight before driving away. Then the case took a turn nobody could explain.
A woman named Etta Smith walked into a police station claiming she had experienced a vivid vision showing where Melanie’s body could be found. She described a remote canyon police had not searched, then personally led investigators straight to Melanie’s remains. Instead of being praised for helping, Etta became the prime suspect.
In this episode of Serial Napper, we dive into one of the strangest murder investigations in California history. Was Etta Smith psychic? Was it intuition, coincidence, or something else entirely? And why did police become so convinced that the woman who found Melanie’s body had to somehow be involved in her murder?
This is the story of Melanie Uribe, Etta Smith, and the case that still leaves people debating the impossible decades later.

37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri knew she was in danger.
Weeks before she vanished, she survived a violent attack in the underground parking garage of her Richmond Hill condo after two masked men allegedly tried to kidnap her. She was beaten with a frying pan so severely that she required roughly 40 stitches.
Terrified, Elnaz left her home and went into hiding with her family in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.
But on the night of January 12, 2022, three masked men posing as police officers arrived at the house with fake badges, fake police vests, and what appeared to be a warrant. Within moments, Elnaz was dragged barefoot through the snow and forced into a white Lexus SUV.
She has never been seen again.
In this episode of Serial Napper, we revisit the chilling disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, including major new developments in the investigation and the recent guilty plea from her ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo, who admitted to conspiracy to kidnap in exchange for murder charges being dropped.
We examine the alleged stalking, tracking devices, organized criminal connections, private investigators, fake police uniforms, and the haunting reality that, despite years of arrests and court proceedings, Elnaz’s family still does not know where she is.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers. A $100,000 reward remains available for information leading to her location.

An apartment building in Oshawa had a clogged drain. By the end of the day, police would uncover one of Canada’s most horrifying murder investigations.
When plumbers pulled a strange pink, flesh-like substance from the pipes of a basement apartment in December 2017, they immediately called police. What officers found inside the apartment of Adam Strong would shock even seasoned investigators: human remains in a freezer, blood spatter on the walls and ceiling, and evidence linking Strong not just to 18-year-old Rori Hache, but also to Kandis Fitzpatrick, a young woman who had vanished nearly a decade earlier.

On March 22, 2010, four-year-old Paulette Gebara Farah was reported missing from her family’s luxury apartment in Mexico City.
There were no signs of forced entry. No ransom demands. No witnesses. And this wasn’t a child who could easily wander off.
What followed was a massive media frenzy. Her parents, Mauricio Gebara and Lizette Farah, made emotional public appeals as search efforts intensified and the entire country watched.
But as days passed with no answers, the focus began to shift inward.
Investigators started questioning the family. Stories didn’t quite line up. Public suspicion grew.
Nine days later, she was found in the same room… in a place dozens of people had already looked.

Just before midnight in March 1990, Toni Clark was driving home across the Bay Bridge when her car stalled. Minutes later, another vehicle crashed into it.
Police arrived within six minutes. Toni was gone.
No one saw her go over the bridge. No evidence proved she entered the water. And a week later, her mother says she received a phone call she believed came from Toni herself.
In this episode of Serial Napper, I’m diving into the haunting disappearance of Toni Clark, a pregnant 17-year-old whose case never received the national attention it deserved. Was Toni killed in a tragic accident… or taken from that bridge?
We explore the timeline, witness accounts, the mysterious phone call, the driver later charged and acquitted in connection with the crash, and the uncomfortable question of why some missing children become household names while others fade from public memory.
This case is not just about what may have happened to Toni. It’s about what happens when a missing girl’s story never gets the spotlight.

In 1991, Gregory Green brutally murdered his pregnant wife, stabbing her to death inside their home while her children hid nearby. Despite the severity of the crime, he was sentenced to 15–25 years and was eventually released on parole after serving 16 years.
He appeared to rebuild his life. He remarried. He became part of a church community. He had more children. But behind closed doors… the same patterns began to emerge.
In 2016, as his second wife prepared to leave him, Gregory Green carried out a second act of unimaginable violence...killing four children and forcing their mother to witness it.
This episode explores not just what happened… but how it was allowed to happen.

Three teenagers left a house in the early morning hours of July 31, 2022. Six minutes later, two were dead and one would be convicted of murder.
In Strongsville, Ohio, a car driven by 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla slammed into a brick building at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and their friend Davion Flanagan. At first, it looked like a tragic crash. But investigators say the data tells a different story.
No braking. Accelerator fully pressed. A prior threat to crash the car.
In 2023, Shirilla was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years to life. But the case didn’t end there. Because not everyone agrees on what happened in those final minutes.
Her legal team now argues that a possible medical event may have caused a loss of consciousness. Others point to text messages, videos, and relationship dynamics that suggest something more intentional.
And then there’s the part that still doesn’t sit right for many people—A key post-conviction filing raising these issues was rejected, not because it was disproven, but because it was filed one day too late.
So what actually happened on Progress Drive? Was this a deliberate act…a catastrophic accident…or something more complicated that never fully made it into the courtroom?
This episode breaks down the timeline, the trial, and the competing narratives behind one of the most debated cases in recent years.

On January 13, 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was riding her bike in Arlington, Texas, when she was abducted by a stranger in broad daylight.
There was a witness. Police were called immediately. A search began within minutes. And still… Amber was gone.
Four days later, her body was found in a creek just a few miles from where she was taken. Her killer has never been identified.
In this episode, we walk through the timeline of Amber’s abduction, the investigation that followed, and how a single question from a concerned citizen led to the creation of the AMBER Alert system, now used worldwide to help recover missing children.
We also take a closer look at the suspects who have been considered over the years, the role of evolving DNA technology, and why cases like Amber’s are some of the hardest to solve.
Thirty years later, the case remains open. And someone, somewhere, still knows what happened.
