***LIVE*** Searching for Serenity Dennard

Author: Travis hartford April 4, 2024 Duration: 1:02:18
Serenity, a resident of the Black Hills Children's Home (BHCH), a treatment center for children with emotional and behavioral problems, was last seen on February 3, 2019, at 10:45 a.m. while playing in the gym with three other children. Two staff members were present, and when one child ran out of the gym, one staff member followed. Unfortunately, Serenity also ran out of the gym, and the remaining staff member stayed behind to watch the other children. The last known sighting of Serenity was at 11:00 a.m. when she was seen walking northbound on south Rockerville Road near the home. Despite the freezing temperatures, she was not wearing a coat. Serenity has not been heard from since. Serenity had a tumultuous early childhood, moving through multiple foster homes after being removed from her biological parents' care as a toddler. Both of her birth parents are currently incarcerated. Chad and KaSandra Dennard then took over her care in May of that year. Serenity's parents have noted that she experienced trauma from her early childhood, leading to frequent runaway attempts and other behavioral issues Join us LIVE every Wednesday night on Facebook and YouTube! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/support

Travis Hartford hosts Locating the Lost, a journey into the shadows where facts fade and questions linger. Each episode is a deep, respectful exploration of cases that have slipped through the cracks-individuals who have vanished without a trace, cold cases that defy conventional explanation, and occasional brushes with the unexplained that surround such events. The focus here is on the human stories at the heart of the mystery, told with a careful balance of detail and empathy. You’ll hear Travis delve into the available evidence, discuss the theories that have emerged over time, and often sit with the unsettling reality that some puzzles remain incomplete. This isn't about sensationalism; it's about the persistent search for answers in the face of silence. For anyone drawn to the complexities of true crime and the haunting possibility of the paranormal, this podcast offers a thoughtful, compelling space to consider what happens when someone simply disappears. The atmosphere is one of quiet investigation, making it a distinctive voice in the genre.
