The Disappearance of Dana Zelic

Get your sweaters on - not only is it freezing cold where the girls are, but we’re also going to be discussing a cold case. This week, Alex & Christie discuss the peculiar disappearance of Dana Zelic. Dana was in her twenties when she mysteriously went missing from her mothers apartment back in August of 1999. There have been reported sightings of her, yet none seem to point to where she is - or what happened. Tune in to learn more about Dana and the events that have stumped many for going on 23 years. Need a distraction? We got you.

If you or someone you know has any information regarding the disappearance of Dana, please contact the Hamilton Police at 1-905-546-4962 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 - https://www.canadiancrimestoppers.org/home.
