When authorities discovered Riesenberg's imminent transfer to a maximum-security prison, the alarm bells sounded. The pair had vanished without a trace.For nearly five decades, Judy’s family has been haunted by a single, desperate question: Was she a willing runaway, or the victim of a man with a documented history of lethal violence? A single phone call months later—"I'm okay, don't worry"—was the last anyone heard from her.Join us as we dive deep into this chilling, unsolved disappearance. We'll explore the complex world of the 1970s mental health system, dissect the authorities' initial inaction, and follow the family's relentless fight for answers.Listen now to Vanished With a Killer and help us shine a light on one of New York’s most enduring missing person cases.#judithannebrown #Missing #Truecrime #MissinginNYTo learn more about this case:https://linktr.ee/judithannebrownmissing

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.
