Around 1:30 pm it was noted that Chris was gone. One co-worker recalls looking away from Chris for merely a moment , while in mid conversation and he was just gone. His friend states he called out to him before getting the other workers to come and look for Chris. They began to walk down to where Chris was last working but did not find him there. What they did find was one of his work boots hanging from a barbed wire fence and his tools simply on the ground with 12 pennies near by. Chris has not been seen since this day.

* * Episode 34: The Disappearance Shariece and Joanna Clark

In February on 2017, Shariece Clark seemed like your typical 15-year-old girl. She was the oldest of 7 kids and lived with her mother and siblings in Baltimore Maryland. Her mother Joanna Clark was 33 years old around this time. She was a single mother who had an on and off relationship with the father of her 6 younger children. The relationship is often described as ‘troubled’ by sources . Joanna had a restraining order on this man, Dennis ‘Demo’ Queen, as he had been violent and known to stalk her. Unfortunately, Joanna was in a situation in which she needed to provide for her kids but had little support to do so. Joanna let Dennis come back to the home to watch their children so she could work. Their agreement was this would be a platonic situation, that was supposed to offer a practical solution to Joanna’s childcare issues. Joanna and Shariece were both last seen on February 4th, 2017, but they weren't seen together and their disappearance leaves a lot of unanswered questions and concerned hearts.

Episode 33: The Disappearances of Taalibah Islam and Typhenie Johnson

Taalibah Islam disappeared in 2006 after dropping her son off with his father. The father filed a missing person report in which he states she got into a car with an unknown person and drove away. Ten years later this same man is also the last person to see yet another ex girlfriend, Typhenie Johnson, before she too got into a car with an unknown person and was driven away (according to him ). His defense wants you to think he was railroaded by a lazy police force , as no bodies have ever been found nor did they find any DNA in his house or car. Does Chris Revill just have the worst luck ever? Or is he a controlling and obsessive man who thought he would get away with the same plot and story twice?
