5. Lori Dee Wilson
Lori Dee Wilson vanished from a rehabilitation facility in Juneau, Alaska on March 24th, 2016. The 30 year-old woman was receiving inpatient treatment for her drug addiction at the time of her disappearance. Lori Dee had struggled with drug addiction for years, and had finally decided to get clean after she was informed that she needed throat dilation surgery. She was scheduled to have the procedure done in August of 2016, however her doctor told her that she needed to be sober in order for the surgery to happen. As a result, Lori Dee's family helped her check into Rainforest Recovery Center in Juneau, Alaska, located hours away from her home in Dillingham. Her first few first weeks at the treatment center appeared to be going well. According to her sister, Lori Dee was making progress. In fact, the two spoke on the phone the day Lori Dee was last seen, and her sister said that Lori Dee seemed very optimistic. However, just hours later, Lori Dee snuck out of the treatment center through a ground floor window. She has never been seen or heard from again.
Years have passed, and no trace of Lori Dee has been found. Police could not find any evidence that a crime was committed--especially because she left the facility voluntarily. However, it is uncharacteristic for Lori Dee to be out-of-touch with her loved ones for this long and her family members are worried for her safety. Her case remains unsolved today. [read more]
4. Brandi Shontay Brown
23 year-old Brandi Shontay Brown has been missing since September 2016. A few days before vanishing, Brandi got into a car accident and had to spend a few days at Sinai Grace Hospital located in Detroit, Michigan. The exact date of her release from the hospital is unknown, but Brandi was last seen the day she was discharged and has never been seen or heard from again.
The last known sighting of Brandi occurred shortly after she was discharged from Sinai Grace. She was seen on Seven Mile Rd & Forrer St, located on the west side of Detroit—about two miles away from the hospital. The circumstances around how Brandi actually left the hospital are unclear. It’s possible that she walked to the last place she was seen, or she could have taken a cab or been picked up by a friend. This information is not available, and there are unfortunately very few details available about Brandi’s case overall. Still, Brandi's family members do not believe she would voluntarily abandon her daughter and they also do not believe she is missing on her own accord. Brandi's case remains unsolved today.

She has never been seen or heard from again. At first, Stevencia’s family members were not worried, as it was not uncommon for her to drop out of sight for days at a time. However, Stevencia was due to give birth in December 2017. When her family had still not heard from her by December 31st, they reported her missing.

1. Jeanette 'Jenny' Herum
29 year-old Jeanette “Jenny” Herum gave birth to a baby boy at the Sutter Maternity and Surgery Center in Santa Cruz, California on November 22nd, 2012. Just a few hours after the birth, Jenny walked out of the hospital without her newborn baby and never returned. There is no known explanation as to why Jenny left the hospital, and she was never heard from again after that.
It is unclear if anybody was at the hospital with Jenny when she gave birth. Despite the fact that Jenny vanished under seemingly suspicious circumstances, her family did not report her missing until 2014—two years after she was last seen. Her family said that they were initially not concerned when Jenny first came up missing; she had disappeared for stretches at a time in the past and they were used to going a long period of time without hearing from her. When Jenny was finally reported missing, authorities classified her as voluntarily missing. News about Jenny’s disappearance was not distributed to the media until 2015.
Months later, in early 2016, a couple taking a walk spotted human remains and notified the Santa Cruz sheriff’s office. In March 2017, the remains were identified as those of Jeanette Herum. Authorities are calling Jenny’s death suspicious, and it is still being investigated. The case remains unsolved today. [read more]
