David enlisted in the United States Marine Corps after graduating from high school. He took great pride in being a Marine and eventually concluded his four years of service with an honorable discharge. Later, he would vocally oppose the depiction of events in the 1992 film A Few Good Men, which he felt maligned him.
This crime scene photo shows David’s remains where there were left, camouflaged by a heap of deliberately-placed pine branches.
This crime scene photo shows the clothing David was wearing at his time of death, including a USMC sniper hoodie and his USMC-issued field jacket. These clothing items were notable, as David did not like to wear his USMC issued gear in public.

UNSOLVED DISAPPEARANCE: CINDY (HYUN JONG) SONG

When a Penn State University senior disappears without a trace on Halloween night, only one thing is clear: she didn’t vanish voluntarily. A heartbreaking mystery evolves into tales of real-life monsters in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

This police sketch illustrates a man a witness allegedly saw abducting a young woman in Philadelphia’s China Town neighborhood. Although the woman was reported to look like Cindy, the report was ultimately discounted after the witness changed her story numerous times.
Hyun Jong Song–who usually went by the nickname Cindy–moved to the US from South Korea during her teens to pursue educational opportunities. Her success in academics was cut short when she disappeared on Halloween night, 2001.
The Pennsylvania house of Hugo Selenski is pictured here, with excavation equipment being used to search the grounds. A dozen sets of charred human remains were discovered buried in Selenski’s yard after a criminal accomplice of his tipped off police.
Here, Cindy is pictured on Halloween night, a few hours before her disappearance. She dressed as a bunny rabbit and enjoyed a night of dancing and video games with two of her closest friends.
Pictured are a set of false lashes Cindy wore as part of her Halloween costume. Cindy returned to her apartment and left behind some belongings–including these lashes–before leaving again for an unknown purpose. She hasn’t been seen since.
Hugo Selenski is pictured between two deputies. Selenski, of Pennsylvania, is a convinced murderer and robber who–according to his close criminal accomplice Paul Weakley–may be responsible for the disappearance and death of Cindy Song. It’s unknown whether this is true, as no physical evidence has been located, but a lead investigator has stated that the Selenski lead is the only active lead in Cindy’s case.
Cindy Song’s mother (center) is pictured at a candlelight vigil held soon after Cindy’s disappearance. The Song family have endured terrible pain in the wake of Cindy’s disappearance.
Cindy Song’s mother (left) and an attorney representing the song family (front center) are pictured at a press conference, in which they pressed for a more thorough investigation of Cindy’s disappearance.

With Journey into Darkness, Douglas provides more than a glimpse into the minds of serial killers; he demonstrates what a powerful weapon behavioral science has become. Profiling criminals helps not only to capture them, but also helps society understand how these predators work and what can be done to prevent them from striking again. Douglas focuses especially on pedophiles and child abductors, fully explaining what drives them and how to keep children away from them. As he points out, “The best way to protect your children is to know your enemy.” He includes eight rules for safety, a list of steps parents can take to prevent child abduction and exploitation, tips on how to detect sexual exploitation, basic rules of safety for children, and a chart, based on age, that details the safety skills children should have to protect themselves.

UNSOLVED SUSPICIOUS DEATH: TOM BROWN

When a small town Texas teen goes missing, an entire community turns out to search the high prairie by land and air. A mysterious death, a contentious debate and shocking accounts of corruption are explored in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

Pictured: Nathan Lewis, former Sheriff of Hemphill County, TX. Lewis resigned from his post after being formally reprimanded by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) for falsifying training records. Lewis has also been accused–both formally and informally–of numerous other breaches of the law and his ethical duty as a law enforcement officer. At the time of Tom Brown’s disappearance, Lewis was Sheriff of Hemphill County. The year before, Tom’s mother had filed a complaint against Lewis for allegedly harassing her son.
In this photo released by Philip Klein (private investigator) a canine is allegedly pictured alerting to the unique odor of human death inside Tom’s vehicle, indicating that human remains had once been inside.
A memorial was held in Tom’s honor at his high school, where he served as class president. Tom was missing for over two years before his remains were discovered.
In October 2019, the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) issued this letter of reprimand to then-Sheriff of Hemphill County, Nathan Lewis.
In this letter to the editor, Hemphill County Sheriff Pearson (predecessor of Sheriff Lewis) responds to a complaint from Tom Brown’s mother alleging that then-Deputy Lewis harassed her son.
Tom smiles alongside his mother, Penny, in this undated photo. Penny has advocated for the fair investigation of her son’s disappearance and death from the night he went missing.
Tom Brown is pictured in his senior portrait. He was 18 at the time of his death.
Tom Brown is pictured circa 2016 in his football uniform. Tom was a talented athlete, as well as being involved in academic pursuits, including serving as senior class president.
This photo released by Philip Klein (private investigator) shows what he alleges remains of a cleaned-up blood stain on the driver’s side floorboard of Tom’s vehicle.

UNSOLVED HOMICIDE: LISA AU

When a 19 year old Hawaiian woman leaves a dinner party on a torrentially rainy night, the journey turns deadly—and not because of the weather. Fear grips the Island of Oahu as police search for a killer within their own ranks in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

Lisa’s body was discovered in a ravine on Tantalus–a mountain that overlooks the city of Honolulu. Here, a scenic view from the mountainside demonstrates why the mountain’s trails are so popular with walkers and hikers, like the man who discovered Lisa’s remains while walking his dog.
The morning after her disappearance, Lisa’s car was found abandoned on the side of the road. Lisa had last been seen departing a dinner party in her car, and never made it home that night.
Lisa Au’s parents are pictured here during an interview with media just days after Lisa’s disappearance. At this point, Lisa’s remains had not yet been discovered.
After Lisa’s disappearance, volunteers descended upon shopping centers and other public spaces and distributed missing posters.
Lisa Au was 19 years old when she was murdered. A newly-minted beauty school graduate, she’d recently begun working as a professional hair stylist.

UNSOLVED DISAPPEARANCE: AMY WROE BECHTEL

When an accomplished long distance runner hits the trails in the central Wyoming mountains and never returns, investigators are tasked with answering the question: what—or who—did this Olympic hopeful fail to outrun? Strange journals, a serial killer with a history of terrible crimes against women and other theories are explored in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

Amy could almost always be found outdoors. Here, she smiles while posing with her dog. Wyoming’s natural beauty–as showcased by the lake behind her–is one of the reasons why she chose to remain in the state after graduating from the University of Wyoming, where she was a star distance runner.
Amy smiles in an undated photo with her husband, Steve. A love of outdoor recreation drew the couple together and inspired them to move to Lander, where the rugged terrain was ideal for Amy’s love of long-distance running and Steve’s passion for rock climbing. Steve initially faced significant scrutiny from investigators and citizens after Amy’s disappearance.
Pictured: Dale Wayne Eaton, a murderer suspected by many law enforcement officials to be the “Great Basin Killer”–a serial killer who sexually assaulted and murdered numerous women throughout Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Idaho during the 80s and 90s. Many consider him a possible suspect in Amy Wroe Bechtel’s disappearance.
Amy’s case received significant media coverage in the immediate wake of her disappearance. Here, she’s featured on the cover of the January 1998 edition of Runner’s World Magazine. Two excellent articles from Runner’s World are among the research resources referenced in this podcast.
Amy Wroe Bechtel smiles in an undated photo. She was 24 at the time of her disappearance (1997), and was planning ahead: she had dreams of competing in the 2000 Summer Olympics as a long distance runner.

UNSOLVED HOMICIDE: ROSE BURKERT & ROGER ATKISON

When a young couple sets off for a weekend away, disappointment awaits at their destination, where a mortician’s convention has the hotel fully booked. A last-minute vacancy proves to be more deadly than lucky, resulting in a double ax murder with an incredible array of possible suspects in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

Rose Burkert, 22, was one victim of a brutal double-murder that occurred in a Williamsburg, Iowa hotel room.
Roger Atkison, 32, was murdered alongside Rose Burkert. Both were found face-down, deceased from severe head trauma, in the bed of Room 260.
Room 260 at the Amana Holiday Inn–the homicide scene–is pictured here. Rose Burkert and Roger Atkison were murdered inside on the night of September 12, 1980.

UNSOLVED HOMICIDE / WRONGFUL CONVICTION: FATHER RYAN PATRICK / JAMES HARRY REYOS

When a brutally murdered John Doe turns out to be a Catholic priest leading a double life, blame falls upon a young man who was in a different state at the time of the murder. A wrongful conviction, mysterious pattern of priestly killings and an anonymous suicide at the confessional paint a twisted picture in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

James Harry Reyos was convicted of the murder of Father Patrick Ryan despite documented proof that he was in another state when the murder occured.
James Harry Reyos–still a wrongfully convicted murderer–pictured after he was released from prison early for good behavior.
James Harry Reyos sits in his small room in Austin, TX after his release from prison. He was confined to the room during nights and weekends, and monitored with an ankle monitor.
Father Patrick Ryan was murdered in an Odessa, TX motel room he’d checked into under a false name.
A timeline of Father Ryan’s murder and James’s whereabouts shows that it would’ve been physically impossible for James to commit the crime.
