It was a Monday afternoon in July. Leota, a mother of three, was home with her kids, doing the most ordinary of tasks — hanging laundry on the clothesline.
But while she was outside, someone is believed to have slipped into her home and waited.
What happened next shattered her family’s world — and left behind a mystery that’s remained unsolved for decades.
Still, there’s hope. Because every year, cold cases are solved — through advances in technology, and sometimes, because someone finally speaks.

In 1979, a woman drops her husband off to his shift at K-Mart in a shopping plaza in Shreveport, Louisiana. She doesn’t make it too far back towards home when she realizes her tire is flat. She pulls over to the side of the road and vanishes. While her husband was immediately fearful of foul play, some recent odd behavior led others to think maybe she had just run away. That was until a second young woman went missing just weeks later, from the same shopping plaza, and also had a punctured tire. This woman’s body would later be found, and the community would begin to panic about a predator in their midst. Real life events blended with tales and urban legends, with similar cases popping up, and evidence of violence lurking in the area. Through the years, investigators have gone through twists and turns, with some suspects in the case seeming more likely than others. But as of today, nobody has been held responsible for what happened to these two young women.

There is something so eerie about a case like the one I’m about to tell you about today. I think its because, sleeping in your bed in the comfort of your home is where you’re supposed to feel most safe. Ironically, its often the place small children feel most afraid and vulnerable.
In the early morning hours of the fourth of July in 2002, four year old Dannarriah was put to bed. Inside of her small Orange, Texas home was her mother, siblings, and cousins.
It should have been a routine night, but when her mother awoke, she was gone. Days later, her body would be found in the nearby community of Pleasure Island, and it was clear her last moments were horrific. Dannarriah’s case has DNA evidence, and all that is needed is just one small break.
