Happy Valentine’s Day!

Victorian ladies and gentlemen would send Valentines to people they loathed as well as to those they loved.

Known as “vinegar valentines” they initially added injury to insult when the receiver was expected to pay postage on them. Hard to find today because they were printed on rather thin paper, and the receiver was unlikely to save and preserve them.

"We’re deeply grateful for the love and support everyone has shown over the past 50 years. It has been incredibly hard on all three families not knowing what happened to the girls." - Rusty Arnold, Rachel’s brother

Mary “Rachel” Trlica, 17; Lisa “Renee” Wilson, 14; and Julie Ann Moseley, 9, were last seen Christmas shopping together at the Seminary South Shopping Center. The girls have not been seen since.

Today we’re discussing the baffling cases of three young men who are still missing.

Christopher Kerze was a teenager when he disappeared from his home in Minnesota. Are strange phone calls proof he may still be alive?

Steven Clark, who walks with a limp due to a childhood accident disappeared without a trace while on a walk with his mother in Saltburn, UK. His elderly parents have been suspects, but is that justified?

Christopher Thomkins was a responsible young man who disappeared from Georgia while on a job site in the literal blink of an eye. The details of this case are particularly disturbing, but what could have happened?
