LIVE: 'Little Miss Nobody' Identified Decades Later

03/16/2022

IDENTIFIED: Little Miss Nobody has been identified as Sharon Lee Gallegos, 4. We now know that the speculation was right, and that LMN and Sharon Gallegos are in fact the same little girl. Police said Sharon was abducted by a man and a woman while she was playing with other children in an alley behind her grandmother's house in Alamogordo, New Mexico. According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, the couple had been stalking the girl for several days. Gallegos was dragged into a "dirty, old green car" by the woman after the young girl refused the woman's offer to buy her clothes and candy, according to NAMUS. () Sharon was found 10 days later in a rocky creek bed 500 miles from where she was abducted.

We’re working on an update, but for now, we covered this story in Episode 15 about 10 months ago. In this episode we discussed the possibility, based on speculation from other sources, that LMN could be Sharon. You can listen to that portion of the episode at minute 20:00.

One of our most favorite episodes- Danny Lewis Hansford, is still being listened to and discovered by individuals who feel the same way as us. This review is so, so incredible. Not only did they read the book with us, but they are just as shocked as us. It’s an old episode, so you’ll have to scroll for a bit until episode 5. It may be from several months ago, but we haven’t forgotten Danny and we’re glad that we’re not the only ones. Thank y’all for constantly supporting us. Hope everyone had a safe weekend. ❤️

Today we’re telling the story of Levi Frady. This story will break your heart into a million tiny pieces. A young boy’s life was taken too soon, and too close to our home in the small town of Dawsonville, GA in 1997. Levi would be 35 this year. And unfortunately there are no signs that this case will be solved soon. However, police say that they’re still investigating Levi’s case and leads still come in. This is the murder of Levi Dillon Frady.

This case is one of those that you will always think about, never forget about, and always feel like something could’ve been done to stop it. This could’ve been prevented. The murder of April Dawn Lacy did not have to occur. This is a story about a child who was forced to grow up quickly, the foster care system, drug abuse, and a young girl’s fight for love and a family. Why can’t we prevent children from being forgotten about? This is the murder of April Dawn Lacy.

Today, we're telling a story that no one is ready for. A story no one wants to know is real. Today we're telling multiple stories about one person... a babysitter. And how she was able to kill and kill and get away with it.. almost. This is the story of the murders of Nima Louise Carter, Mary Elizabeth Carpitcher, and the attempted murder of Augustine Carpitcher. If not the baby sitter, who can we trust with our children?
