I apologize if this may not be 100% Unsolved Mysteries related, but I was reading the thread on Maura Murray and it got me thinking about the Discovery ID show Disappeared.

I've seen nearly all of the original episodes from 2009-2013, but, when I was looking through the IMDB, it mentioned a Season 7.

I've never seen any of these episodes:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1563280/episodes?season=7&ref_=tt_eps_sn_7

I know that Discovery ID ran a list of Specials and I was also able to find a link for them on IMDB and those are able to be purchased through Google Play or Amazon.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1563280/episodes?season=-1

However, does anyone know if these mysterious Season 7 episodes ever aired?

Wow. This is a helluva find. None of those episodes ever aired. The episode listings for a lot of shows on IMDB can't be taken as gospel truth 100% of the time, but given how descriptive those episodes are I'm led to believe these are the real deal. I wonder if this season aired in other countries besides the US?

That's really odd they're given a 2015 date. I really, really hope they air these episodes.

What. The. Hell?!

I have mixed thoughts on whether or not these episodes actually exist. On one hand, it seems unlikely they would revert back to its original format, and the episode guide at LocateTV mentions none of these. However, the episodes described mention real missing people (Bryce Lapsisa, Jennifer Kesse) so it does seem legit.

Technically, Disappeared had 5 seasons. I refer to the series of special as season 6. Perhaps it's not officially season 6, but it's the best I can come up with.

I'll see what else I can find out, if anything.

Let's take a look at some of these cases:

Bryce Lapsisa ~ We talked a bit about this one on the Charley Project thread. Fairly recent case and probably the most mysterious one in the last few years. The CP link doesn't state it, but there were some allegations that the family knew what happened and was trying to solicit money out of the whole thing. I really don't know what to make of this case.
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/l/laspisa_bryce.html

Jennifer Kesse ~ This is a pretty well-known one and was also on Vanished with Beth Holloway. The part about the guy walking by the fence has to be one of the most frustrating things ever.
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/k/kesse_jennifer.html

In an effort to further showcase how hideously backlogged Charley Project is, there are no case files for Rico Harris, Tammy Kingery, Robert Hoagland or Brian Histand. The case file on David Riemens is barely a short paragraph. The Bryce Lapsisa one is also pretty short and in need of an update.

I think it's really essential that they air these, if they exist, because they undoubtedly have a lot more info than what's available.

Here's Brandy Hanna's page. Odd as this was one of the last ones I read before reading this thread.

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/h/hanna_brandy.html

Here's Jessica Heeringa's page, a Michigan case. The Charley Project page makes things seem pretty cut and dried, but the blurb on imdb suggests the case is more mysterious than that.

Yeah, I've delved into Jessica Heeringa's case and that Charley Project page is missing a lot of the strangest details, most particularly how the gas station manager and her husband were the ones who reported the suspicious minivan. They just happened to be passing by on their motorcycles and claimed they saw a man climbing into the minivan behind the station. The strangest part is that the manager claimed she was worried that Jessica was working in collusion with this guy to steal from the place, so she followed the van for a little bit, but just kinda gave up and let it go. Neither she nor her husband got the van's license number and even though they were worried that theft might have occurred, they never bothered to go back to the station to check on Jessica. WTF?!

Also, the fact that a young woman would be working alone at a gas station without surveillance cameras in 2013 is pretty inexcusable. This is most certainly a very interesting case for "Disappeared".

Wiseguy,

If you can find out anything, let me know. I agree that IMDB is not always accurate, but I may try to see if I can locate anyone at Peacock Productions (the production company) and see if I can get a straight answer.

Part of me is hoping that these were episodes that ID may have never aired, considering they canceled the show.

I hope they do exist.

I have to wonder if this is one of those "Netflix only" exclusive deals or something of that nature. That may explain why we haven't heard of it through the normal channels.

Robert Hoagland went missing from Newtown, CT, and as many of you know, some horrible crimes have went down there (The Sandy Hook murders, the Helle Crafts woodchipper murder, which had some recent discussion on one of the Forensic Files threads).

Disappeared isn't on Netflix anymore. :(

Amazon shows this listing (http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Georgia-Dissapeared-Special/dp/B00KLK4P9G/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1453152237&sr=1-2&keywords=disappeared+investigation+discovery)for "Disappeared Specials Season One." I know some of these have been mentioned on these boards previously. Perhaps our very observant thread starter stumbled upon a season two list? Maybe? We can hope?

I've done a little more research, mainly in an effort to validate some of the earlier info I posted:

Here is an article on Rico Harris, one of those profiled in Season 7:

http://www.dailydemocrat.com/article/NI/20151027/NEWS/151029908

In the article, it mentions that Donald Lett is the actor that plays Rico Harris in the episode.

I went to IMDB and pulled up the screen credits for Donald Lett.

It leads to this listing:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5336204/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2

It also mentions, right under the title, that the episode is NOT YET RELEASED.

The fact that this episode, along with a picture and quotes from the actor, lead me to believe that something was actually filmed.

The article also mentions the episode will air in 2016.

I really hope Discovery ID doesn't change its mind.

Some of these cases look really intriguing.

Someone's recently added a description for episode 3:

Against the Tide
25 year-old artist Tiffany Daniels never makes it home from work. When her car is found abandoned in a Pensacola Beach parking lot, it sets off a desperate search for the missing young woman...and dark speculation about her disappearance.

Here's the Charley Project link (http://charleyproject.org/cases/d/daniels_tiffany.html).

Thanks for that Perm!

There were a couple of cases I thought this could be, including the famous Austin Stephanos/Perry Cohen case, but this turned out to be something else entirely.

Speaking of which, I wish some show would cover the boys disappearance. I know in all likelihood they drowned, but a small sliver of me thinks they might have got picked up by someone or something. Perhaps its just "wishful thinking" on my part. I wonder how much publicity the case has gotten in other countries and islands and such. There's enough general weirdness associated with the case that makes it not exactly cut-and-dried.

The Heeringa case is interesting in several ways. First off, the primary witnesses, the manager and her husband, did not come forward right away (unless the police held back the info). All the early info on the silver minivan originally came from a guy who worked in a nearby store who saw a guy in a minivan flirting with Heeringa earlier. Much of the manager and her hubby's story did not make sense. They were interested enough to stake out the store but not interested enough to either follow the van or get the plate number or to go check out the store. The man said the van resembled exactly one owned by a relative. Then it turns out the woman's brother had dated Heeringa and had access to that very van. The brother was apparently obsessed with Heeringa and about 15 years older. Naturally he became an immediate suspect. I bet the manager saw her brother and got the plate but clammed up when she realized it was her brother which explains why their interest in what was happening at the gas station suddenly evaporated. I think the husband probably didn't realize it was the brother and blabbed, which is why they talked. See http://woodtv.com/2014/04/02/target-8-a-new-twist-revealed/
This case will probably be solved and be an inside job.

Wow, that's a pretty interesting and plausible scenario! In the article you linked, the brother claimed to have an alibi that night and also claimed his parents were using the minivan to visit a casino. Police checked them out, but have never officially confirmed if these alibis were valid, so I don't know what to think.

I've always been intrigued by this suspect, a convicted rapist who lived in a halfway house near the gas station and was shot to death by police less than a year after Heeringa's disappearance:
http://woodtv.com/investigative-story/is-dead-man-missing-link-to-jessica-heeringa-disappearance/

What's really weird is that it's been nearly 3 years since the last original episode of Disappeared aired (not including the specials). While it wouldn't be completely unheard of for a show to come back from the dead like this (pun not intended), it's not exactly very common.

I recall with the last batch of new episodes, they burned off 4 in one evening and new episodes were never seen again. I gotta wonder if something similar might happen here, as in, they end up doing a couple of marathons as opposed to a new episode each week.

Certainly very exciting the show might be returning. Just hope they have a new announcer as opposed to that lispy moron from before.

The lispy guy is doing another program, in fact one that aired tonight. I couldn't understand the name of the city the way he pronounced it so I had to back up, raise the volume, and try again.

If I remember correctly, Disappeared seemed to end rather abruptly. There was one episode with birds in the description that was scheduled for one air date and then switched. There were probably other episodes in the works that were never finished once the network decided to go in another direction. But now they may have decided to use the old material instead of letting it go to waste. It will likely be packaged somewhat differently and with an altered title.

I was familiar with the Harlem Globetrotters case but not the others. That story received some play on sports forums when it happened.

Further elaborating on my theory, maybe the manager and hubby went back to the store all along because when they saw the van they thought it was the brother, not because they thought Heeringa was stealing from the store. (or may be they thought the bro was a thief?) And they knew the brother was mad at Heeringa for pulling out of the apartment deal. I hope the cops questioned those two and brought up all the holes in their story. If not, they should be requestioned. It is amazing the lengths some people go to to protect relatives doing bad things. The classic example is the case of the Unabomber where the brother had a ridiculous "moral dilemma" on whether to turn in his brother who had been killing or maiming innocent people for 20 years.

Someone is gonna have to say it so I will:

It looks like the Disappeared tv show simply disappeared!

The facebook Disappeared page is still being updated to this day, so that could be an encouraging sign.

Well, it appears that season 6 is currently showing on Hulu Plus. Perhaps it's proving popular enough to revive the show? Or maybe the specials have done well and they realize this show has more life in it? If the episodes have already been filmed it would really behoove them to show them, even if in a marathon run. I've got my DVR set up to record new eps, so I hope they are coming soon!

Thanks for the Hulu Plus tip.....I'll probably watch the ones I haven't seen.

It now says on the IMDB page that season 7 returns July 15! Can't wait! :clap:

Awesome! I had a feeling it might be back sooner though. My dvr has been picking up the reruns a lot lately.

From what I'm seeing, the airdate of "A Family Man" (which they're saying is s7e09) airs in July, but that's the only airdate that's currently listed. But then there is this, which was posted on reddit: "According to the FIND BRYCE LASPISA Facebook page, the last update they received was from NBC Universal who said Bryce's episode might air in April."

Great news, and not something I ever thought I'd hear

Disappeared may be like a modern day UM in the sense that it keeps coming back. UM, of course, was cancelled several times, but kept finding its way back, largely due to fan interest. If something similar happened here, I think that's great. Disappeared is an important program and deserves to be on the air.

Great news, and not something I ever thought I'd hear

15 episodes from Season 6 are on Hulu

15 episodes from Season 6 are on Hulu

This is impossible since no episodes of season 6 of Disappeared exist.

Disappeared is returning. The 6th season premiered on 11th April 2016, with Jessica Heeringa's story.

Wonder why they didn't use Christopher Walker?

Wonder why they didn't use Christopher Walker?

because he sucks.

I don't get the Christopher Walker hate. I thought he was okay. He was no Bill Kurtis or Robert Stack, but he was good.

he gets a lot more love on imdb. I haven't posted there in years, but I lurk once in a great while.

UPDATE: A man recently arrested for kidnapping (which carries an automatic life sentence in MI if convicted) is being investigated for the abduction of Jessica Heeringa. Nothing concrete has been linked to him yet though, in regards to her case.

Jessica Heeringa's case is one i really want to see solved. A Young mum with a son working and she goes missing... very sad'!

That was a nutcase episode this week, specifically the final 10 minutes. It really detracts from the series when they devote so much time to a "vision," in this case the word Burgess.

Hard to believe they couldn't have occupied those minutes with let's say interviews with some employees of the Dollar General store, to see if they remembered seeing the truck in the parking lot that day, and if so who was involved. Maybe they could have shed some info toward the person with the strange bricks. Granted, it looked like the Dollar General store had closed subsequent to the disappearance but those employees from August 2012 shouldn't be difficult to track down.

Yes i must agree, that whole case was strange. As much as i respect he wanted to live 'off the grid' but he seemed a bit of a arrogant guy and the people around him said he often made arrogant comments. I couldnt find the Dollar General on Google maps?:confused:

Absolutely agree. My ears perked up toward that part of the segment, only to be left hanging. The case reminds me of the Leonard Dirickson case for some reason.

UPDATE: It's continuing to look like Jeffrey Willis is responsible for the abduction and presumed murder of Jessica Heeringa. He has already been arrested for other crimes, including the murder of a jogger and the attempted abduction of a girl. He drove a silver minivan like the one seen on camera, and police found a whole bunch of disturbing items in it, such as syringes, a gun, photos of bound and gagged women, rope, chains and handcuffs. A large barrel was also in his possession. Willis was also known to frequent the gas station where Heeringa worked and it was in between his home and workplace. What a creep. Glad he's behind bars.

I don't see any way it's not him. This is our guy.

http://woodtv.com/2016/05/25/sources-willis-frequented-heeringas-gas-station/

btrw, this case is a huge deal in Michigan right now.

and we wrap up season 7 tonight with 2 episodes, including the pretty famous Jennifer Kesse case out of Florida.

I am new to this so if its not in right place im sorry. I'm looking for the name of the song from disappeared on ID, the theme song that plays. I cannot find the name of it or even who sings it. I'm from Canada if that helps thanks. Show name Disappeared channel Investigation Discovery, thanks

You're in the right thread for the question... I'm just not sure of the answer. I am also super familiar with the show, but have no idea as to who composes the music...

I have Google worn out looking for this. Anyone have any ideas?

central...so cell phones have an app, called "firefly".....you turn it on it hears the music and it tells you the singer name of the song!!

The show is not the same without Christopher Walker. :(

The show is not the same without Christopher Walker. :(

I agree 100%, he's the narrator right? His narration was excellent

so we tried the app, on the last episode of season seven...all the other seasons are not on the on demand.....

didn't work, the theme must be different...there was no singing

pulled up an old episode on you tube...there is music no singing....


just to let people know..IMDB really screwed up the episode listing for season 7, I messaged them..being that is is a show about real cases of missing people, that it was important to correct the airing dates...and they fixed it quick!

I agree 100%, he's the narrator right? His narration was excellent

Yeah, he is. He added a warm but surreal feeling to the show which the new narrator is lacking. The new one just sounds like a generic true crime show host.

I agree, bring him back!

The way I look at it if it's not Chris Walker it's not disappeared. To me he fit in well.

Could it have been Arms by Christina Perri? I remember that was played during the Disappeared commercials a few years ago.

The show is not the same without Christopher Walker. :(

Looks like he will be back this season:
