Andrew Dixon Part 1: Scattered Pieces

On the evening of July 28, 2025, surveillance cameras at the Sierra County Detention Facility in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, captured a white Kia Soul pulling into the parking lot. The driver parked, stepped out, and walked away. Investigators believe that the driver may have been 32-year-old Andrew Dixon. That brief moment on surveillance video would later take on new significance.Two days later, Andrew was reported missing. A man contacted police to report that his 2004 blue Toyota Camry was missing, and he believed his friend and roommate, Andrew Dixon, may have taken it. He had tried multiple times to reach Andrew, but got no response. He also told investigators that this behavior was out of character. Andrew had never taken anything from him before.Andrew’s own car, the Kia seen on surveillance, had been left behind at the detention facility. No one knew why he would leave his vehicle there, why he would take his roommate’s Camry instead, or where Andrew may have been headed.As Detective Sergeant Shane Jeffers began investigating, what initially seemed like a possible misunderstanding involving a borrowed car quickly became something more complex. In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Andrew’s life had been unraveling, and those closest to him were left trying to piece together a story that didn’t quite make sense.In this episode, we will begin piecing together the fragments of Andrew Dixon’s life and the mystery of what may have happened to him.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Andrew Dixon, please contact the Truth or Consequences Police Department at 575-894-7111.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last week, you heard Part 1 of William Gray’s story. In October of 2022, 39-year-old William Gray disappeared from his home in Sweeny, Texas, leaving behind questions that remain unanswered more than three years later. In Part 1, we explored Will’s life, the mounting tension in his marriage, the events leading up to the day he vanished, and the early stages of the investigation.In the months before his disappearance, Will had been injured at work and underwent back surgery in September 2022. According to his sister, Beverly, he told her that once he was cleared to return to work, he planned to retain an attorney and file for divorce. He wanted to make sure he had everything in place before taking that step.At the time, Will continued living on the property he shared with his wife because he didn’t want to leave his young son behind. Beverly said he told her he had been sleeping in a camper on an adjoining property and that he was documenting what was happening around him. He said he had installed cameras and was backing up the data in multiple locations.The last known contact with Will was on October 17, 2022. His wife said he was picked up from the property in a truck, though descriptions of that vehicle have varied and, as far as Beverly knows, a driver has never been identified. Will’s phone was left behind, cutting off a key digital trail.In the days that followed, Beverly reported him missing to the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office. Beverly said she was surprised to learn that investigators reported finding no digital evidence, despite what Will had told her about the steps he was taking to preserve everything. Early on, the case appeared to gain momentum, but after Beverly had an in-depth conversation with the original detective assigned to it, he suddenly left the department, and the investigation seemed to slow.In Part 2, we will examine what happened in the years following Will's disappearance, the questions that remain, and information Beverly has uncovered as she continues trying to find out what happened to her brother.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of William Gray, please contact the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office at (979) 864-2200.

On the evening of February 28, 2006, 23-year-old Travis Roberson traveled from his home in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, to downtown Fayetteville to attend a Mardi Gras celebration. He was there with friends, enjoying what was meant to be a night of music, crowds, and celebration. At some point during the evening, Travis told the others he wasn’t feeling well and said he was going to walk back to the car to wait until everyone was ready to leave. When the rest of the group returned to the vehicle later that night, Travis was nowhere to be found. At first, there was no immediate panic. Friends assumed Travis may have met someone or found another way home, and that he would call to let them know what was going on. But hours passed, then days, and that call never came.Travis’s family reported him missing to the Siloam Springs Police Department. Since Travis was last seen in downtown Fayetteville, police later said the case was transferred to the Fayetteville Police Department. What happened next would have long-lasting consequences. Due to a breakdown in communication between agencies, no one opened an active investigation into Travis’s disappearance. For years, each department believed the other was handling the case. In reality, no investigation was underway at all.By the time the error was discovered, critical time had been lost. Leads had gone cold, evidence was gone, and memories had faded. Nearly twenty years later, Travis Roberson’s family is still searching for answers about what happened to him that night.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Travis Roberson, please contact the Siloam Springs Police Department at 479-524-4118.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Keyonta Davis disappeared from Baltimore, Maryland, just days after his twenty-first birthday in March of 2020. On his birthday, Keyonta stopped by his mother Angie’s home, and the two made plans to get together the following day so she could bake him a cake. The next day, Keyonta went to work and called Angie during his lunch break. Nothing about that conversation suggested anything was wrong, but he never showed up for that birthday cake, and Angie never heard from her son again.Keyonta was a young adult with disabilities who needed ongoing support as he moved into adulthood. He worked part-time at an adult day care center, a job he enjoyed and took pride in. Although he was no longer living at home, Keyonta stayed in regular contact with his mother and other family members. Disappearing without a word was completely out of character for him.In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Keyonta confided in Angie about the people he was living with. He told her they were taking his money and using the benefits he received because of his disability. Angie began to fear her son was being financially exploited. When she tried to step in and help, she was met with resistance. Keyonta insisted he could handle the situation himself.When Angie attempted to report her son missing, she said the Baltimore Police Department initially turned her away, telling her that Keyonta was an adult and did not have to stay in contact with family if he didn’t want to. But Angie knew something was wrong. With little help from authorities, she felt compelled to begin asking questions on her own. What she learned was deeply troubling.Although a missing persons case was eventually opened, Angie believes little effort was made to locate Keyonta or determine what happened to him. Nearly six years later, she continues to advocate for her son, pushing for answers and justice.If you have any information about the disappearance of Keyonta Davis, please contact the Baltimore Police Department Missing Persons Unit at (443) 983-7385.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In early March of 2020, 35-year-old Michael Green left his home in Winnfield, Louisiana. It wasn’t unusual for Michael to come and go, and a few days without hearing from him didn’t immediately raise concern. But as the days stretched on, his absence began to feel heavier. Michael was usually in touch, or at least visible somewhere around town. This time, he wasn’t.Michael's sister sent him messages, but Michael didn’t respond. That alone was unsettling. In mid-March, she sent him a message on Facebook Messenger, saying their mother was worried and asking him to get in touch. She could see that Michael’s account was active, a small sign that he was still out there. Then, that too was gone. Deactivated, it vanished just like Michael himself had.Michael's family reported him missing to the Winnfield Police Department, and horrifying rumors about what happened to him quickly spread around town. Nearly six years later, the question of what happened to Michael Green remains unanswered.If you have any information about Michael’s disappearance, please contact the Winnfield Police Department at 318-628-3511.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nothing about that moment suggested it would be the last time her family would see her, but it was.In the early morning hours of June 14, Amy called her daughter, Amanda, and left a voicemail. When Amanda listened to the message later that morning, it didn’t raise any immediate alarm bells, but when she tried to call her mother back, it went straight to voicemail. In the message, Amy said she was staying at her ex-husband’s house, something she did from time to time. At first, no one was overly concerned. Amy was an adult who had her own routines, and everyone assumed she would resurface, as she always had before. As hours turned into days with no word, concern for Amy began to grow. Amy’s ex-husband told family members that she had been at his home when he went to bed on the night of June 13, but when he woke up the next morning, Amy was gone. From that point forward, there were no confirmed sightings or clear answers about where she may have gone.Nearly a decade has passed since Amy vanished, and her loved ones are still searching for answers, holding onto hope that someone knows what happened and will finally decide to step forward.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Amy McHale, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department at (215) 686-3013.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
