It was the beginning of the Martin Luther King Junior holiday weekend in Wilmington, North Carolina, and 30-year-old Ebonee Spears was not doing well. Ebonee, who had been diagnosed with Lupus the year before, had seemingly been having negative reactions to her medication. The bright, friendly mother of one was acting disoriented and paranoid. Things got so bad, that her parents contemplated having her involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital.
The next evening, January 15, 2016, Ebonee told her parents she wasn’t coming over for a planned dinner. That night, when her boyfriend arrived at her home, Ebonee was gone. No one has seen Ebonee after that day. After six years of misinformation and muddled timelines, investigators and Ebonee’s loved ones are no closer to finding out where she went after she walked away.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Ebonee Spears, please contact the Wilmington Police Department at 910-343-3686.

Found- The Clouse Family

10 Recommendations

In the late 70s, a young couple set off from Florida to Texas to start their new life together. 17-year-old Tina Linn Clouse was madly in love with her new husband, Harold Dean Clouse, so she didn’t hesitate to uproot her life and move to Texas when he got a new job.
Their families were supportive, but became concerned when they started hearing from the couple less and less. Then, in October of 1980, communication stopped completely. It would take over 40 years for the Linn and Clouse families to learn what happened to Tina and Dean, but even when those answers were revealed, a huge one wasn’t: what happened to their baby?
The investigation into the murders of Holly’s biological parents, Tina and Dean Clouse, is ongoing. If you or anyone you know has information about their deaths, please contact the Texas Attorney General’s Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit at [email protected].

Tyler Stice

On June 21, 2016, 20-year-old Tyler Stice packed his lunch and left for work. The community college student was living at home and working to save up money in hopes of eventually attending Northern Arizona University. That morning, Tyler got into his prize possession, a black Ford Mustang, and drove off. But he didn’t make it to work that day. Four days later his car would be found in the Hualapai mountains, but there would be no trace of Tyler.
Tyler’s family had been seemingly followed by tragedy for years, and it wouldn’t stop with his disappearance. It’s been over six years since Tyler was last seen, and his case is filled with theories, with some wondering if his family’s checkered past could have contributed not only to what happened not only that day, but also to the events that followed.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Tyler Stice, you can contact Silent Witness at 1-928-754-1234. You can also give a tip to the Kingman Police via email at [email protected]. Please reference case number 16-18530.
