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

Timestamps:

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.
