10. Disturbing Missing People

WHERE ARE THEY?

1. The mystery of Maura Murray

Maura Murray was 21 when she lost control of her car and crashed into a snowbank in February 2004. Another driver stopped and asked if she needed help, but she said no, she'd call AAA. They drove off, deciding to call the police anyway.

Ten minutes later, when the police arrived, the car was locked and Murray was gone. There were no footprints in the snow, sniffer dogs couldn't get a scent on her, and a heat-seeking helicopter spotted nothing.

Strange details began to emerge. Murray, a straight-A nursing student had withdraw $280 from her account and emailed her teacher saying she'd have to miss class because there'd been a death in the family (there hadn't). Her cards and phone, a route map to Vermont, and a wine box were found in the back of the car, with red wine splashed on the outside. Back in Murray's dorm room, her belongings were found packed up in boxes.

But despite the leads, detectives made little progress, and there have been no credible sightings of Maura Murray since the night she disappeared.

2. The parking lot Polaroid

In August 1989, was found in a Florida parking lot. It showed a young woman and a boy, bound and gagged in a small, dark space. A windowless white van had previously been spotted near where the photo appeared.

Two families came forward to identify the people in the picture. Nine-year-old Michael Henley had vanished on a camping trip with his father. Tara Calico, 19, had disappeared while cycling. Pieces of her Sony Walkman were found, but Tara and her bike had vanished.

Calico's mother was sure it was her daughter in the photo – her hair was the same, and she seemed to have the same scar on her right leg. Sometime later, Henley's remains were found in the mountains where he went missing. But Calico's disappearance remains a mystery, and no one ever traced the origins of the sinister Polaroid.

3. The girl who vanished from her bead

On 14 February 2000, 9-year-old Asha Degree packed her bookbag in the middle of the night and walked out of her house. Her brother, who slept in the same room, said he heard noises coming from her bed, and at 6:30 am her mother discovered she was missing. believe she left the house of her own accord, but Asha was a shy, well-behaved girl and her disappearance was out of character.

Several motorists spotted wandering down the highway in the early hours of the morning in driving wind and rain. As one person slowed down to see if she was OK, Asha ran into the woods.

An immediate search found sweet wrappers and her hair clip in a shed nearby. Over a year later her bookbag was discovered wrapped in bin bags at a construction site, but Asha was never seen again.

4. What happened to Johnny Gosch?

Johnny Gosch was 12 when he disappeared on his morning paper run in 1982. His father found his paper wagon abandoned in the street, and a neighbor claimed to have seen him being followed. But the police had few leads and couldn't trace him.

Fifteen years later, two men knocked on the door of Johnny's mother Noreen's house. One of them claimed to be Johnny. He had long hair and a birthmark on his chest. Noreen was convinced it was her son. She said he seemed afraid and looked at the other man for approval while he talked. They an hour and a half together, before the pair left without saying where they were going.

No one could ever prove if the man who visited Noreen really was Johnny and, despite unconfirmed sightings, he's never been heard from since.

5. The disappearance of Zebb Quinn

Zebb Quinn, 18, and his colleague Robert Owens, then 21, were driving to view a car Quinn wanted to buy in January 2000. The pair drove in separate cars, but midway through the journey, Quinn pulled over and told Owens he needed to turn back.

Quinn never made it home. Owens, meanwhile, went to the hospital later that day with broken ribs and a head injury, claiming he'd been in a car accident. Two weeks later, Quinn's car turned up in a parking lot with a giant pair of lips drawn in lipstick on the back window, and a puppy inside. Police found no trace of Quinn.

12 years later, Owens was arrested and charged for the murder of pregnant Food Network star Cristie Schoen Codd and her husband. Despite this disturbing development, the disappearance of Zebb Quinn remains unsolved.
