Missing 5-Year-Old Hayden Manis | Unreported for FIVE YEARS • Part 1

Timestamps:

(15:30) - Hayden Manis

It is a story that we now hear all too often. A child is missing for years before anyone notices and reports it to authorities. We have covered many cases like this in the past - Harmony Montgomery and Oakley Carlson to name but two.

Hayden Manis is also one of these children.
Hayden was around five years old when he went missing from his home in Muncie, Indiana in either 2019 or 2020 (stories differ). He was not reported missing for four to five years.

Hayden’s extended family realized that he was missing in 2024. When Hayden’s father Dustin was questioned about his son’s whereabouts, he gave conflicting stories. Dustin died in December 2024 from a drug overdose and left no clue as to what happened to Hayden.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we tell part one of Hayden Manis’ story. We run through the background of the case and the early stages of the investigation into Hayden’s disappearance.

Join us next week for Part Two as we discuss what has happened in the investigation to date.

Unidentified and Mostly Harmless

Unidentified and Mostly Harmless

While hiking in Big Cypress National Preserve, two friends stumbled upon an emaciated man's remains in a tent along the trail. The man had no identification, no cell phone, no bank cards and didn't come up in any of the police's databases. After releasing a composite sketch of the man, a handful of fellow hikers, hostel proprietors and trail angels came forward saying they met this man along his journey from NY to FL. They knew stories about him and even had photos of him, but they only knew him as "Denim" or "Mostly Harmless" - his trail names. It seemed like no one knew his true identity and that was they way he wanted it. It's been 2 years since Mostly Harmless's remains were found in July 2017 and he has yet to be identified. The Collier County Sheriff's Office hasn't given up and is pursuing genealogy testing in hopes to locate a relative. But, if Mostly Harmless went to such great lengths to conceal his identity, do we have the right to identify him?

The Todt Family Murders

The Todt Family Murders

To anyone looking in, the Todts seemed like the perfect family. Megan and Tony Todt, both successful physical therapists, lived in Celebration, Florida - a picturesque community created by the Walt Disney Company, with their three children. While the family could be seen smiling in matching Christmas pajamas on social media - a dark secret loomed over them. Unbeknownst to Megan, Tony was being federally investigated for committing health insurance fraud to cover their astronomical debt. In December 2019, Tony (*allegedly*) snapped and murdered Megan, their children and even their family dog. He then remained inside their home with the bodies for days creating a web of lies to cover his tracks. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

The Murder of Holly Bobo | Part 2

The Murder of Holly Bobo | Part 2

On April 13th, 2011, 20-year-old Holly Bobo spent her morning studying for an exam she'd never take. She'd pack her things, grab her lunch and walk out the door - only to cross paths with a strange man dressed in camouflage.  Holly was last seen by her brother, who caught a glimpse of her through the window, walking into the woods with who he thought was her boyfriend.  From there, what happened to Holly would remain a mystery for nearly 6 years. A handful of men were arrested for Holly's abduction, rape and murder, but not everyone believes the right men are behind bars. In this episode, we go over what happened at Zach Adams' murder trial and discuss other theories as to what may have happened to Holly.

The Murder-Suicide of Cousins Emeri Connery & Bailey Smith

The Murder-Suicide of Cousins Emeri Connery & Bailey Smith

70% of murder-suicides involve an intimate partner - a husband and wife, a boyfriend and girlfriend, etc. In March 2019, police officer Bailey Smith shot and killed his cousin Emeri Connery before turning the gun on himself. The two were driving home after a long night celebrating Bailey's 21st birthday. Strangely, Bailey was memorialized by the community with parades and celebrations, while Emeri, the actual victim of the crime, was hardly mentioned at all. Even Emeri's family seemed to defend her killer. So, do they know something we don't? In this episode, we talk briefly about updates in the Madeleine McCann case before diving into what happened between Bailey and Emeri that night and murder-suicides in general.  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Missing Tyler Davis & Chance Englebert

In this episode we have a few quick updates on Corinna Slusser, Madison Bell, and Maura Murray. The bulk of the episode is about Tyler Davis & Chance Englebert who separately vanished in 2019 and their stories have a lot of similarities.  Tyler Davis vanished after walking away from his Ohio hotel after a night celebrating his wife's birthday. While Chance Engelbert walked away from his wife's grandparent's home after an argument. There has been no sign of either man, leaving their family with no closure. What happened to them?
