Three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished from his grandmother’s backyard on May 6, 2020.  His grandmother says she turned her back for a few seconds to deal with the family dog. When she turned back around, Dylan was gone. 

Dylan’s rubber boots were discovered six hours after his disappearance, submerged in a creek nearby. Despite a six-day official search and hundreds of volunteer searchers, that's the only evidence found. 

The family, in the meantime, began receiving ransom demands. A photoshopped photo of Dylan looking beaten and bruised was sent with a demand for money. Others followed.

Ghislaine Maxwell's latest bid to overturn her sex trafficking conviction has been rejected, leaving her 20-year prison sentence in place. The judge called her claims a "complete miscarriage of justice" based on speculation and falsehoods.  Maxwell argued that newly released Justice Department files proved her innocence, but the judge ruled that those documents actually incriminated her further. Legal experts state she has virtually run out of standard legal avenues to challenge her 2002 conviction, leaving her future dependent on the potential for a presidential clemency.

Maxwell was transferred from a facility in Tallahassee, Florida, to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas.

On June 19, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA, a park ranger notices a black BMW parked in a restricted area near Independence Mall. Hearing a woman inside the car say, "you're going to hurt me",  the Park Ranger decides to check things out. The driver is identified as Eugene Horsch. The female passenger produced identification bearing the name of Blair Tonzelli. Tonzelli had been reported missing in February 2023 BUT she had not been heard or seen since August 2022. The photo on the ID was the passenger's photo, NOT Tonzelli. Investigators determine the ID is fake. The woman tells investigators that Eugene Horsch gave her the ID. The woman tells investigators she needed the ID because she had outstanding warrants. This is how the "Philly House of Horrors" case began. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss what has been discovered thus far and explain the 55-gallon drums, dissolving chemicals, and pipes tied into the local underground sewer system. They will also investigate what has been found in the form of forensic evidence that might help explain a number of "missing person" cases over the last 20 years.
