COPS share the CREEPIEST DISAPPEARANCE case they have been assigned to (r/AskReddit) updoot reddit

our /as credit posted by user uric 47 police officers of reddit what's the creepiest disappearance case you've ever been assigned to not a cop that attract missing persons accounts for a bank in coordination with the police one day a cop called and said they wanted to track the accounts of a woman who had gone missing at the hands of a dangerous trafficker the last transactions I could trace since she disappeared was at one of our branches I pulled the footage in the trafficker was pulling a bunch of money from her account I received an alert the next day from the account stating that a purchase was made the purchase was from a hardware store shortly after the next purchase was for a carpet cleaner rental needless to say cops contacted us and says they suspect he killed her but they couldn't locate a body worked me felt like I had witness to murder through simple financial transactions not a police officer but my granddad was he was a part of the police force in the 60s til the early 80s sometime during the 70s he was assigned to a missing persons case that had been ongoing for a while and had actually been reassigned due to the lack of new evidence him and his partner spent months on the case fighting for it to stay open one day they went and searched the missing person's home again it caused a lot of uproar with the family as they hadn't really moved his things or been into his home since the case had gone quiet anyway they got permission almost a month after asking and found a handwritten recept for a car in his bathroom bin God knows why his bins weren't searched before unless it was just missed they managed to track down the guy who sold him the car he said that the missing person had mentioned that he was going to store his car in a garage till he had the money to insure it he even gave them the name of the town he said the garages were in the went to the town and got search warrants for every single rentable garage even though they had no evidence he had ever rented one after a couple of days they found the car with the guy inside it apparently his body was almost mummified because of the lack of Sun air and moisture I can't imagine what the smell was like but they think he accidentally killed himself while trying to do some work on the car he would have had the garage door closed because his car wasn't insured he didn't want anyone to see the car and steal it it was stored in a rough neighborhood where the garages were cheap to rent he also paid cash in hand so he never had any receipts so yeah he died of carbon monoxide poisoning it's painless and basically you just fall asleep and then you die he wouldn't have realized until it was too late the guy was missing for five months and he seemed to just disappear for no known reason my granddad told me this when I was a kid and it really scared me that people can so easily just go missing or die and nobody knows where they are still kind of freaks me out I'm late to the party but I'll answer we get a call from a husband that his wife and mother-in-law have been missing for three days their two small children are with dad and he claimed he didn't know what happened the husband had massive history of domestic violence with his first wife and we were pretty concerned for the well-being of his wife and mother-in-law especially since they vanished without packing and didn't take the kids I show up at the house and the husband gives me the creeps just a really ducking weird vibe and every single hair on my body is standing up I feel nothing but dread as I listen to him tell me that he has no idea where they went and couldn't explain why he waited three days to call police especially with two small kids at home we couldn't find any trace of evidence and I was really perplexed found out later that the wife and her mom went across the US border to go shopping and they both got arrested for shoplifting and were spending a week in jail while waiting for trial since they were Canadians in a flight risk it was hilariously awkward breaking the truth to him but a huge relief in the town I grew up in UK a woman in her 30s her three kids and their car all went missing her husband was known for being a bit of a lad and the immediate presumption was she'd had enough and left him but her parents hadn't heard from her her bank account wasn't used etc but it was nearly a week before anybody seemed to get really worried about it she'd picked the kids up from school and then never went home even though it was only a 10-minute journey eventually one of the ten year old son's friends mentioned that he was planning on trying to get his mom to go and get them a McFlurry the nearest McDonald's was a town away they eventually realized that instead of going straight home she'd agreed to drive to the McDonald's and gone the back way part of which is along what we called a 40-foot basically a massive Dyke found them all still strapped into the car at the bottom husband was engaged again in his fiancee pregnant within a year my grandfather was a policeman and a fireman at different points in his life his spooky disappearance story actually came from his time as a fireman he hasn't told me the story in a long while so I'm a little fuzzy in the details but here goes his team gets called to a house fire in a small village rural England it's late at night the fire is reported by a local who was walking home several other bystanders have arrived by the time the fire engine gets there and there are multiple reports of screams for help from inside the building they start to douse the fire and three of the responders including my granddad enter the building via the back door to attempt to rescue the people trapped inside the thing is they don't find a soul nobody is there they clear the whole place out stop the fire effectively make the building safe later on it's confirmed that the fire started in the kitchen likely the hob where food was midway through being prepared as far as anyone knew the couple who lived there had been at home relatives had no idea where they might have gone that night my granddad and his colleagues have a funny feeling so they get local police properly involved crime scene investigation uncover blood on a floor in one room but any other evidence was destroyed in the fire they can't confirm who the blood belongs to it apparently didn't match the blood types of the two vanished residents the fire department are very suspicious at this point and apparently the police want to drop the investigation in favor of a manhunt for the missing people but they end up expanding the investigation radius and find that apparently an unidentified van was parked outside the house that left just before the fire was reported the investigation goes dead but over a year later they find the burned remains of the man who lived there in a grave in the woods several towns away they never found the woman so it was suspected that she killed him and burned down the house to conceal it they never figured out where the screams from inside the building were coming from though not a policeman but my granddad was he's in his 80s now and was in the met police UK for years he's dunking brilliant so many interesting / sad / crazy stories so in the 1970s he was given a case of a young girl I think she was only 16 or 17 who'd gone missing and was part of the lead investigatory team in it they interviewed thousands of people in the local area a small town in Essex UK turns out the girl had been basically beaten to death in an alleyway just outside her house the killer had pushed her body through a hole in one of the fences that lined the alleyway into a garden of one of the houses so they'd searched for her for a really long time to find out all the while her body was lying in a rosebush in one of the neighbours Gardens super creepy if you ask me also turned out that when they caught the guy he was responsible for another killing of a young girl also in Essex I wish I knew more but there's really little information about I do know the girl's name was Coral viddler also in typical grandparent fashion he only told me this story because I had been out drinking in a local pub and it all started with I know that pub the police held a huge celebration there one evening where I got punched in the head and lost all of my teeth what was it for oh they had caught a killer etc and coincidentally my parents and I moved into the same row of houses that backed the alleyway where the girl died 35 years later he didn't think to mention this story for 15 years love him not me personally but other officers on my department seventy year old female with dementia would often leave her home and go for walks around her property one day she never came home and it should be noted that we live on an island 30 miles out from the rest of the United States State Police k-9s our entire department news helicopters Coast Guard helicopters and boats Marine Division all search land and ocean for this women we reviewed security footage at the airport and steamship ferry to see if she boarded either to leave Island but she didn't she was never found in to this day we don't know what happened two theories have arrived though she walked right into the ocean and somehow her body disappeared anew washed up or - she walked into to the construction site of a sewer plant and fell into a tank full of waste just before the tank permanently covered my uncle went missing about 25 years ago in New Jersey my dad has been so sad about it ever since and this was before I was born he had a history or mental illness but the weird part is he has never been found we don't know if he changed identities or got killed or went off his meds and went homeless but it's been over two decades and it still puzzled me to this day what happened to him my dad even got Howard Stern one day to say live on air Kevin Costello if you're out there and listening to this your brother is looking for you I remember being a kid and listening to it on the radio he just disappeared without a trace it's so odd my dad went through some of his belongings and has a trunk of some of his old stuff still in storage late to the party but here agos responded to missing person report husband was the caller reporting his wife was missing wife a debilitating condition and was bedridden for several months husband said he went to dinner across town and discovered wife was gone upon returning home no sign of her in the house or in the area no kids were living at home search and rescue came out and spent all night searching the area with no luck scent dogs didn't even find anything the whole time I'm imagining we're going to be discussing this case sometime in the future on Forensic Files it was an eerie feeling to be sitting with a man and talking to him while thinking he may have just killed his wife but having to treat him like he was a concerned husband fast forward to the next day and the neighbor found her about a block and a half away tucked down behind their bushes in their yard no foul play turns out something just happened and wandered away but lost energy and collapsed in that yard sadly she reported seeing the glow sticks on the scent dog collars walking nearby on the road but nobody or none of the dogs came close enough in the yard to find her until that neighbor came out the next morning not exactly a cop / former cop in fact I was a firefighter in the military in the interest of self-preservation I will not be discussing the base / branch / names of those involved at this point in my career I had was the director of emergency communications for the base this meant that I was in charge of police / fire / medical emergency and non-emergency communication my main responsibilities included managing fire / police ems dispatchers maintaining and monitoring base alarm systems and reviewing reports and cross-checking the respective reports with the 9-1-1 calls and radio traffic to ensure that everything was accurate this last duty was the most time-consuming it was impossible to screen every call so non high-priority calls were audited on a random basis while high-priority calls were scrutinized in great detail I spent many hours slowing down speeding up and trying to make heads or tails of high-profile emergencies high-profile emergencies included things like unexpected / unexplained deaths terror threats made attempted were threatened against the base fires resulting in loss of life or significant loss of property and a handful of other things I add that footnote because typically these 9-1-1 calls are chaotic oftentimes callers are experiencing the worst most tragic or stressful time in their life my point being it's often hard to understand the caller let alone despise her what exactly they need the incident the dispatch center was man 24/7 but only directly supervised during business hours however I was always on call for major incidents like those mentioned above the night in question was a Saturday and it was fairly late around 1:00 a.m. I heard a call toned out over the radio for a reported suicide the patient was pronounced dead on arrival suicides were one major incident that I was notified about by my dispatchers but I was not always ordered to respond right then and there suicides were usually pretty cut-and-dry I would need to make sure the report was shored up on Monday morning but I had my best night dispatcher on duty and I knew he wouldn't let me down I got up used the bathroom and waiting for the phone to ring when it didn't after about an hour I grew worried and radioed in to remind my dispatcher to call me when he wasn't too the phone rang seconds later my dispatcher said the deputy fire chief is here he said we could all be brief on Monday and that one of the other dispatchers was called in to cover the remainder of his shift he was upset by the whole situation and needed the rest of the night off not uncommon especially when someone paints the walls while you're on the phone with them I told him to get some rest and we talked on Monday something didn't feel right I texted him and told him to call me as soon as he was in his car he did I first made sure he was okay he said that he was not but not too worried about him I told him I had been there before and if you needed to talk he could he said no I don't think you have this whole thing is duct up and I you need to come and listen to the tapes at this point I'm worried like I said this is my most seasoned best dispatcher and he's this shaken up I got in my car and got to the dispatch center as fast as I could this is what I recall from the report times are approximate 117 reports started 117 dispatched Medical / fire / police medical fire do not approach stage underscore Street and wait for PD to declare scene safe 118 chief to Engine 3 responding code 3 PD on scene scene safe send medics and fire ASAP 120 medics responding 149 dispatch requests update from unseen 150 patient do a suspected overdose handing acne over to PD clearing to quarters at this time 157 report terminated my first though is what in the duct is this someone ducking died and I get seven line report then I pulled the scariest 9-1-1 recording I've ever had the displeasure of listing - I will recount it to the best of my knowledge it has been about a year since I have listened to it dispatch 9-1-1 what is the address of your emergency color my wife's dead can you come get her out of the house dispatch sir did you say your wife is dead color yes she's behind the bedroom door I can't get it all the way open but she's dead dispatch sir I need your address and a good phone number in case we get disconnected color sure it's underscore dispatch where exactly in the home is your wife color the bedroom dispatch can you get into the bedroom from door door color nope dispatch hold on I'm sending help now please stay on the phone dispatch sir can you hear me color yes I can hear you fine dispatch you said she's behind the door can you open the door color no her body is blocking it dispatch can you tell me what exactly happened color she's been depressed and took all of her sleeping pills color they're here thanks for all your help line disconnects the thing that chilled me about this call was that the husband's voice was apathetic and relaxed he didn't seem to care that his wife was dead he was really calling to have the body removed it would seem as if he's wife's limp lifeless body was somehow posing him an inconvenience he had no interest in trying to help save his wife at all it had my dispatcher ducked up and it had me ducked up reading the police report was much more informative and painted a better picture of what happened on scene I was also tasked with interviewing everyone that was unseen to put into my comprehensive report this is a summary of what I recall from the report and my interviews the summary of events was consistent among all those that responded a surreal scene responders arrived on scene to find the husband in the same lackadaisical state he appeared to be in on the phone multiple responders were disturbed by this important things noted upon observation of the scene included a full bathtub with a razor blade on the side of the tub and a wine glass that appeared to have fallen into the bathwater it's also important to note that this was the spare bathroom and not the master bathroom the body was found behind the door of the master bedroom the police reports stated that the husband had been out all day on a hiking trip and he came home and found his wife dead his explanation for his strange behavior was that he was in shock however bass records showed that the husband was granted access to base at 10:22 p.m. roughly three hours before he claims he discovered his wife's body additionally he stated that his wife was depressed and had taken all of her sleeping pills something he could not have known because the empty pill bottle was recovered from the nightstand it was ambien and the prescription had been filled by the husband for his wife the previous day it was appearing to be a murder committed by the husband who had admittedly had marital issues with his wife these issues were also known to his co-workers and friends about two weeks later I was told by one of the investigators that they had been taken off the case and it was going to be handled at a higher level that was the last time I or anyone I know saw or heard from the husband again he Facebook page was taken down his kids went to live with his late wife's parents and he disappeared without a trace everyone working the case was told that he was placed on a leave of hardship there was never a court-martial further action or further information provided to anyone involved in the initial investigation it still chills me to my core thinking about the whole thing I was told not to ask questions and not to interfere with the investigation it was now out of my hands and it would be handled at the higher level I will always wonder if the military made the husband disappear and paid off the rest of his wife's family to make it go away I will never know the answer to this mystery I can only speculate but man just thinking about that 9-1-1 call makes me hope that if he did indeed murder her that military has him in a dark hole for the rest of his life TLDR military husband kills his wife and makes it a suicide does not do a good job and ends up getting murdered himself by the government I'm a correction sergeant for a small County in rural Alabama about two years ago I had just become a supervisor I was assigned to Delta shift which at that point was considered the crap shift I was brand new and given the task of whipping this bunch of turds into shape I was barely one month in the driver's seat when one of my most trusted inmates just goes ape crap it was in mid-february when this occurred relatively cold and very crafty the inmate involved had been in and out of the facility for most of his life pappa nearly more cloud in the jail than it did the man was the most trusted inmate we've ever had and was even assigned to work alongside the maintenance officer with limited supervision until the night that he ate nearly two ounces of meth and proceeded to freak the duck out pop asked to be let out to fix a toilet in booking the control officer let him out and then let him roam up to the booking foyer here we entirely lost track of him the detention center spent the next nine hours on lockdown thanks to this when my officers finally found him he had gotten into the ceiling access with a stolen key Papa had watched us from the master monitor in the server room the entire time every time someone would look in the server room he would hide inside the cabinets if we got too far from finding him he would scream at the top of his lungs until we turned around all from the ceiling across the entire jail creepiest experience of my life I've seen some crap through the infantry in this job nothing beats that one not even doing CPR on a suicide crap was bone-chilling TLDR corrections officers searched for a highly unstable and intoxicated inmate for the better part of a night sometimes being less than a few feet from them not me but my brother a young girl went missing I think she was around five years old young enough to still be using training wheels at least she was last seen riding her bike in her backyard where I lived the media would talk about her every day any new evidence they found they presented because this happened just a mile or two from where I lived and in the county where my brother worked it turned out that this girl's neighbor had been the one to kill her and his wife turned him in I'll always applaud this woman for this you always hear about spouses trying to hide their significant others crimes my brother who is great at getting inside people's head told me that he made it seem like he was relating to the guy which he said he was repulsed by but had to do it to get an honest confession he said the guy wasted no time at bragging at what he did smiling the entire time he said he invited the little girl inside his house got a trash bag and used it to suffocate her he described every detail about how long at Duke how tight her held the bag and how thrilling it was to be in control of someone's else life but the most messed up part he admitted that he rode with the father helping this terrified man search for his missing baby girl the idea that that poor man was sitting right next to her daughter's killer the entire time bawling his eyes out to the man responsible for his pain its trilling when the father found out he begged my brother to let him alone in the room with the guy just for a few minutes my brother being an overprotective father himself was seriously considering letting this guy have some alone time so to speak but another officer who also felt bad for the father told him they couldn't do that because they didn't want the father killing this man and risk landing in prison himself I believe they found the little girl and if I'm remembering this story correctly they found her in the same trash bag the man used to suffocate her not a cop but I watched this case unfold near me Zahra Baker and her dad were originally from Australia but after she got sick I believe it was a form of cancer they moved to get better care it was just the two of them for a while then her dad remarried all the wells are is kicking cancers but she suffers hearing loss and other issues but she's going strong the community adores this girl and tries to help her family as best as they can then she goes missing it's shocking and horrible this girl can barely do anything herself and she's gone missing it takes the media by storm relatively small town so everyone cares this area is surrounded by woods so search parties branch out everywhere not much is told about Sarah's family at first no one cares about speculation when a girl like her is missing and then all at once these horrible details are released by the police Zahra was locked in a room the Attic I think I remember commentary about how hot that can get and everyone being disgusted by it the abuse at the hands of her stepmother the stepmother is arrested quickly and the investigation wraps up fast the fines are about a month or two later and the entire community mourned her for years she still brought up in the news occasionally she was about the same age as me when it happened and I remember my mom not letting me play in the woods because we didn't know what was happening [Music]
