By Emily G. Thompson

Situated approximately 70 kilometres from Vancouver, Abbotsford stands as a bedroom community in Canada. The cityscape is marked by extensive farmlands, orchards, and rolling hills that lend to its quaint rural allure. However, in 1995, Abbotsford was shaken by a brutal assault on two teenage girls who were making their way home from a party. Following the grim incident, the assailant initiated a series of unsettling phone calls to the police, forewarning of impending acts of violence. Detectives raced against the clock to identify the individual before he could make good on his threats.

By Emily G. Thompson

In the realm of human emotion, love knows no boundaries, and yet, acceptance remains a distant dream for some. In the 1990s, a gay couple sought refuge from mounting homophobia, leaving behind the confines of Colorado for the promises of Medford, Oregon. But their aspirations for a safe haven were shattered in 1995, when the couple mysteriously vanished. Fears began running rampant that they had become the victim of the very thing they were trying to escape…

The Cape Coral Courtyard Condominiums in Cape Coral, Florida, comprise of one and two-story wood-paneled townhouses. They’re nestled at the end of a winding road and are shaded under large trees, just west of Viscaya Parkway. Madeline Munch was fast asleep in her condominium on 10 May, 1990, when she was awoken by deafening screams coming from next door. Those screams were followed by tearful pleas of “my baby, my baby, the fucking neighbours, why didn’t they wake up?”

Morbidology the Podcast – 215: Evelyn & Alex Hernandez

By Emily G. Thompson

It is widely acknowledged that disparities exist in missing person cases. When a victim fits the mold of an all-American, girl-next-door from an affluent family, their case tends to garner significantly more national attention. This reality was evident in two remarkably similar cases involving pregnant mothers that occurred in California in 2002. The divergent treatment and media coverage of these cases showed that not all victims are equal.
