  • Missouri: The Kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby

    Missouri: The Kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby
    Jan 12 2026
    On October 6, 2002, 11-year-old Shawn Hornbeck asked his mom if he could go bike riding in his hometown of Richwoods, Missouri. His mom said yes, because Shawn had ridden his bike alone hundreds of times before. She told him to be home by dinner. But, when he wasn't, and it got dark out, the Hornbecks were extremely worried. Shawn was always home for dinner and was deathly afraid of the dark. Turned out it was something much worse than the dark. Shawn had been kidnapped just a mile from his home.
    Years went by and there was no trace of Shawn. Until January of 2007, almost 5 years later, another boy named Ben Ownby disappeared after he got off the school bus and never made it home in Beuford, Missouri. That set off a chain of events in which an exceptional 15-year-old eyewitness, a pizza restaurant owner and the FBI would do something remarkable. Something still referred to as "The Missouri Miracle."

  • Minnesota: The Disappearance of Joshua Guimond

    Minnesota: The Disappearance of Joshua Guimond
    Dec 15 2025
    At the time of his disappearance on November 10, 2002, Joshua Guimond was a sophomore at St. John's College in Collegeville, Minnesota. Even though he had broken up with his girlfriend, Katie, of five years only two months before, Josh was thriving at his school. He had lots of friends and was involved with many extracurricular activities and academic clubs. His plan after college was to go to law school and then go into politics.
    But late on Saturday night, November 9th, 2002, Joshua left a poker party at a dorm on campus and seemingly made the walk back to his own dorm, less than 10 minutes away. He was seen passing a female friend on a bridge and then simply vanished. No one has seen or heard from Josh Guimond since then.
