MISSING: Runaway Train Kids

In honor of this past National Missing Persons Day, Ashley and Brit are going to take turns telling you the stories of seven missing kids that all have a certain connection. These are the stories of 7 out of 36 missing kids that are featured in the 1993 music video for the song Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. A majority of those cases have been resolved thanks to that video, but that means there are still too many left that need your attention – and maybe someone, somewhere out there holds the key to solving their cases.Don’t forget to tune into The Deck and Dark Downeast this week to hear the remaining two stories of those highlighted in Soul Asylum’s music video!Runaway Train by Soul AsylumIf you have any information about:Byron Page: Please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.Kimberly “Kim” Doss: Please contact the Davenport Police Department at 563-326-7979.Patrick “Shawn” Betz or Jason Matthew Lea: Please contact the Upland Police Department at 909-946-7624 or Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).Wilda Mae Benoit: Please contact the Cameron Parish Sheriff’s Office at 337-775-5111.Duane Fochtman: Please contact the Lincoln City Police Department at 541-994-3636.Martha Wes Dunn and Eric Owens: Please contact the Morris County Sheriff’s Office at 903-645-2232 or the Augusta Police Department of Public Safety at 316-775-4500.Christopher Kerze: Please contact the Eagan Police Department at 651-675-5700.If you or anyone you know is thinking about suicide, emotional support can be reached by calling or texting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, or by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).PRECEDENT: Jacob WetterlingIf you are a law enforcement agency or a family member of one of the people we mentioned in this or any of the highlight episodes and you’re looking for coverage on the case – please reach out to us as CrimeJunkie@audiochuck.com. Did you know you can listen to this episode ad-free?
