Hi everyone! It's been a while, but I'm back now with a new series. In Michigan (where I live) May is Missing Persons Awareness Month. To stick with this theme, we're going to take a look at an interesting instance of true crime media - the music video for Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. Both the …

The Missing: Regina McCorkle
This month’s missing persons case brings us back to the great state of Illinois, in the somewhat great decade of the 80s. When a young mother goes missing and her toddler is found locked in their home, you’d think there would be dozens of news articles about the disappearance. That’s what happened to Regina McCorkle …
The Missing: William “Bill” Roach
This month’s missing person’s post takes us to new territory: Australia! On a summer night in December (remember, it’s summer in the southern hemisphere when it’s winter in the northern), a 25 year old man went missing from Armidale, New South Wales. The man had told his family and friends that he was involved with …
The Missing: Amy Wroe Bechtel
This month’s missing persons case strays a bit from our normal cases here at the Morbid Library. And by that, I mean that it is a case with a cult following and extensive coverage. Because I use October to cover things that have held my attention for a long time, this is the only time …
The Missing: Michael Negrete
This month’s missing persons case is one that has always grabbed my attention. It has all the makings of a case with a cult following like Maura Murray or Bryce Laspisa. But, for whatever reason, it does not get even a fraction of the attention those cases do. After attending a party and playing a …
The Missing: Hang Lee

The Missing: Ruben Humberto Herrera
This month’s missing persons case is one that does not get a lot of coverage, despite the strange nature of the disappearance - a missing young man, a $300,000 ransom, and a distant family member claiming to know the young man was dead. What happened to Ruben Humberto Herrera on the morning of April 27, …
The Missing: Patricia Meehan
This month’s missing persons case is one that has grabbed and held my attention for a long time. After a strange car accident, a woman vanished from the scene, only to be spotted throughout the country afterwards. What happened to Patricia Meehan - did she truly end up hitchhiking across America with truck drivers, or …
The Missing: Logan Schiendelman
(Sorry this post is late! Life happened.) This month’s missing persons case is one that has been all over social media lately - especially Tik Tok. Which is probably why I’ve received several requests to cover it. So, what would make a young man leave his home after having an “epiphany,” and how did his car …
The Missing: Elaine Park
This month’s missing persons case is one of the most recent cases we’ve covered here at the Morbid Library - meaning the information is fresh, the investigation is ongoing, and you may be able to help. So. After allegedly suffering a panic attack, a young woman with dreams of Hollywood vanished onto the streets of …
