How the system failed missing children Harmony Montgomery & Oakley Carlson

How the system failed missing children Harmony Montgomery & Oakley Carlson

Harmony Montgomery and Oakley Carlson lived on opposite sides of the country. They never met each other and neither had the chance to even live their own lives.

Both Harmony and Oakley vanished while in the care of their parents - the very people who were meant to nurture, care and protect them.

Harmony was last known to be alive in 2019. She would be 7 years old if she is alive today. Harmony’s early years were sad - both her parents had drug abuse issues and Harmony had been in foster homes. She was eventually returned to the custody of her father Adam, and that decision sealed her fate.

It finally came to light in 2021 that Harmony had not been seen for years. Her biological mother has just now been speaking publicly and insists she has been trying to find Harmony. Police have been searching the last locations in New Hampshire that Harmony was known to be at and nothing has been found. Adam has now been arrested on charges related to the abuse and neglect of Harmony.

Oakley Carlson also had a rough start to life. She had been placed with a foster family when she was a baby and she lived with them for years. The foster family have said publicly that they were devastated when Oakley was returned to the care of her biological parents.

Her foster mother Jamie said “They made a mistake. “A big mistake. I told them in my last letter it was going to be on their shoulders if something happens to her.”

A school principal raised the alarm about not seeing Oakley in December 2021. Police began to investigate and discovered that Oakley had not been seen since February 2021.

Oakley’s parents Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers have been investigated and they have since been charged with apparently withholding potentially life saving medication from one of Oakley’s siblings.

As of mid January 2022, there is no sign of either Harmony or Oakley.

It's ALWAYS the husband... allegedly | Part 1 | Melinda Davis and Crystal Rogers

It's ALWAYS the husband (allegedly). Over the next two episodes we discuss cases where all signs point to the victim's significant other, but they are seemingly getting away with it.      In part one we talk about Melinda Davis, who was found deceased in the trunk of her car in March, 2021 after meeting her ex-partner to pick up some belongings, and Crystal Rogers who has been missing since July, 2015 after last being seen "playing games on her phone" by her boyfriend.

Missing Executives Alan White & Jake Cefolia

Missing Executives Alan White & Jake Cefolia

In two separate but similar incidents, Alan White and & Jake Cefolia were both last seen on surveillance pumping gas before each of their luxury vehicles were found abandoned in vacant areas. After months of searching, neither man has been found and clues to their disappearance are limited. While some have speculated that either man could have left to start a new life, others fear something much more sinister may have happened to them.

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro? The episode begins around 15 minutes in. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.
