On September 15, 2019, 14-year-old Alicia Navarro disappeared from her Glendale, AZ home in the middle of the night. More than three years later she is still missing.

8. Fry’s Grocery Store Sightings
Four alleged sightings of missing teenager Alicia Navarro mention Fry’s grocery store. What is going on there?

And across the country another autistic minor is told she’s complicit in her own abduction, kidnapping and 13-month torture. This episode is not suitable for all listeners and discretion is advised.

7. Absconder
A registered sex offender living within the one-mile radius of Alicia Navarro’s home absconds in the middle of the night sometime in 2019 leaving most of his personal property behind. Another Arizona girl goes missing just days before her 15th birthday in 2022, after meeting an older man playing Roblox online. Could her abduction hold any clues to what happened to Alicia, who is missing to this day?

6. Don’t Go Missing In Maricopa County
Under MCSO Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Arizona’s “toughest Sheriff’ hundreds of child sex crimes went uninvestigated in Maricopa County in the 1990s and 2000s; prisoners and inmates were tortured in Sheriff Arpaio’s Tent City, which he joked was his private concentration camp; “illegal aliens” disappeared without investigation; and at least one man, Scott Norberg, was literally tortured to death on camera. Sadly it’s hard to imagine a worse or more “Wild West” place for Alicia to go missing than Maricopa County.
