Today, I’m sharing an episode of The Final Hours, the show I co-host with Kourtney Nichole about missing persons and the final hours leading up to their disappearance or murder.
In October 1981, 17-year-old Kurt Sova stepped outside a Cleveland Halloween party to get some air. Two minutes later, he was gone. Five days after that, his body was found in a nearby ravine — arms outstretched, both shoes missing, and no clear cause of death.
The Final Hours releases new episodes every Monday. Follow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen. https://pod.link/1872821250

In February 2020, 26-year-old Marquis Martin disappeared after working a night shift at his second job.
For nearly a month, his family, friends, and community searched for him, pleading for answers and for help from law enforcement. When Marquis was finally found, it was the worst possible outcome: he had been murdered.
But as his loved ones pushed for justice, they were forced to confront another painful question. A racist image connected to the sheriff’s own son began circulating, raising serious concerns about whether Marquis’ case was handled with the urgency, care, and impartiality it deserved.
Six years later, no arrests have been made. No persons of interest have been publicly identified. And Marquis’ family is still waiting for answers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Drew County Sheriff’s Office at (870) 367-6211.

Pepita Redhair was 27 years old when she disappeared from Albuquerque, New Mexico on or about March 24, 2020. In the days and weeks that followed, her family desperately searched for answers while facing roadblocks, conflicting information, and a lack of attention during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than six years later, Pepita’s loved ones are still searching for the truth about what happened to her and continuing to advocate for justice.
Pepita is a Native American woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She is approximately 5'1" and 140 pounds. She has two beauty marks on her chin and distinctive tattoos, including a dinosaur on her right forearm, a koi fish on her left forearm, a butterfly on her shoulder, and the word “redhair” tattooed elsewhere on her body.

In the final part of Nancy Guthrie’s case, we pick up with the update that changed everything: law enforcement had recovered previously inaccessible doorbell camera footage showing a masked, armed man outside Nancy’s Tucson home in the early morning hours after she was last seen.
From there, the case only gets more complicated. In this episode, I walk through the video, the suspect description, the DNA reportedly found at Nancy’s home, the people questioned and later released or cleared, the public focus on Nancy’s family, the Mexico angle, and the intense media ecosystem that has formed around this case.
And just as this episode was being posted, a new report surfaced involving an anonymous tip and a renewed search effort in Mexico another reminder that Nancy’s case is still active, still developing, and still desperately in need of answers.
Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Please continue sharing the official FBI flyer and submit any information directly to law enforcement.
84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona on January 31st, 2026. She is white, 5’4” tall about 150lbs with brown hair and blue eyes.
The FBI is also asking for help identifying the suspect seen in the recovered doorbell camera footage. He is described as a male, approximately 5’9” to 5’10” with an average build. In the video, he is wearing dark clothing, gloves, a mask, and a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.
There is a reward of up to $1.2 Million in this case.
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324. You can also submit a tip anonymously online at Tips.FBI.GOV, or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.

For years, people have asked what active searching for Alissa looks like in 2026. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent search effort that left me with more questions than answers.
After being directed toward a specific area, our search team brought in trained dogs. During the search, the dogs alerted in a location that raised serious concerns. Despite those alerts, law enforcement has declined to conduct additional follow-up at this time.
This episode isn’t about speculation. It’s about documenting what happened, sharing the reality of searching for a missing loved one decades later, and explaining why families often find themselves fighting for answers long after public attention fades.
Alissa Turney disappeared from Phoenix, Arizona, on May 17, 2001, and remains missing. If you have information about her disappearance, please contact the Phoenix Police Department, submit a tip to Silent Witness, or contact me directly.
Thank you for continuing to keep Alissa’s name and story alive.

Like so many people in the US, 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was struggling with housing insecurity. She worked at Best Buy in San Francisco, California and would often travel up to 4 hours a day to commute to work from wherever she was staying at the time. Sometimes the commute was so bad, Nicole would just crash on a couch until her next shift. This meant she would have to leave her two-year-old daughter Arianna with a babysitter for extended periods of time.
This was the reality of trying to make ends meet for Nicole. Eventually, one of her coworkers noticed what Nicole was going through just to get to work each day and offered for her and Arianna to move in with her. Nicole was ecstatic. She scraped together enough money to get Arianna a new bed and told the babysitter she was coming to pick up her daughter.
But she was met with resistance from the babysitter, saying they were out of town taking Arianna to Disneyland, she’d have to grab her daughter another day. Nicole was upset, obviously because she was ready to pick up her daughter but also because they didn’t tell her they’d be taking Arianna out of town. According to Nicole’s new roommate Goyette Williams, the plan was for Nicole to pick up her daughter on April 3rd, 2016. But on the night of April 1st, Nicole withdrew a large amount of money from her bank account, says she was going to meet the babysitter and would be back in 5 minutes.
A week later, Nicole’s body was found in a local park. Nicole’s killer has never been caught and Arianna remains missing to this day.
32-year-old Nicole Fitts was found murdered in McLaren Park in San Francisco, California on April 8th 2016. She was a black female with black hair and brown eyes.
Nicole’s daughter, Arianna Fitts was last seen in Oakland California in February 2016. When she went missing, she was 2 years old, weighed approximately 45 pounds and was 2 feet tall. She is a black female with black hair and brown eyes. As of recording this episode, Arianna Fitts would now be 8 years old.
The San Francisco Police Department is offering a $250,000 reward for information about Nicole and Arianna. And Best Buy is offering an additional $10,000 reward.
If you see Arianna, call 911 immediately. If you have information on Arianna’s whereabouts or anything related to the homicide of Nicole, contact the SFPD Homicide Unit at 415-553-1145, the SFPD Anonymous Tip Line at 415-575-4444, or text a tip to TIP 411 with SFPD at the beginning of the message, or visit sanfranciscopolice.org/tip.

What followed was Washington State’s first AMBER Alert, a massive search, and a case that has haunted Sofia’s family and community for more than two decades. Over the years, investigators have pursued witness statements, vehicle descriptions, possible sightings, and renewed leads including a viral TikTok video that brought Sofia’s case back into the national spotlight.
In this episode, we walk through the day Sofia disappeared, the investigation that followed, the people still searching for answers, and the questions that remain.

Twenty-five years ago, my sister Alissa Turney disappeared.
For most of that time, I have lived in the space between grief and action, between not knowing and refusing to look away. This episode is different. It is shorter, more personal, and less about retelling every detail of Alissa’s case than it is about marking what this anniversary means.
Twenty-five years is an impossible amount of time to measure. It is birthdays missed, milestones stolen, questions unanswered, and a kind of grief that changes shape but never leaves. But this year also feels like a threshold the end of one road and the beginning of another.
This is the place where the sidewalk ends.
And for me, it is where the fight for justice continues.
