The show will cover the stories of two missing persons cases per episode. Here are the reviews of Wednesday nights episode.
Pamela Butler: 47 year old single woman who lived in Washington, DC, Reported missing on 2/17/2009
Pam was an accomplished Computer Specialist for the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in Washington, DC. Pam has a great family and loved to have gatherings with family and friends. However, the key focus in Pam's story was the fact that she lived in a middle class suburb and had surveillance cameras surrounding her home. Pam's nephew sometimes lived there but to the normal persons eye, there would have been no reason (past or present) for Pam to have so many surveillance cameras around her home. Pam met a man named Jose Rodriguez and they were in a great relationship. Pam's family said that they were very happy together. Pam had arranged (with Jose) to take Pam's mother to dinner on Valentine's Day 2009. Pam's mother didn't bother to call her after the dinner was confirmed. Saturday, February 14th came and went and nobody heard from Pam. Pam's family decided to make a trip to her house and upon the entrance to the house, they notice that Pam's cell phone was still there. Which was not normal for her. Also, her bed sheets and blanket were missing from her bed. Pam's mother than reported her missing. The police searched and collected all the possible clues. They noticed that Pam's dinning room window was opened and there were no cameras there to monitor that window. Strange to say the least! Jose was interviewed on the show but his face was blocked out due to death threats. Jose was the last person seen on the surveillance cameras. He said that the day before Valentine's day, Pam broke up with him because she was very stressed and seemed to be having issues with money. Jose said that he had never taken any money from Pam. So he wasn't clear on her reason for this break up. Jose was upset and told Pam that he would come back to the house to get him personal items. Jose returned on Valentine's day and Pam was not home. He called her cell and work numbers but got no answer. He unlocked the house and retrieved his things and left. He left the house with two large plastic trash bags and one duffel bag. Pam's mother believes that Jose killed Pam and put her dismembered body in the trash bags. But Jose swears that he done nothing wrong and that he loves Pam and misses her too. Perhaps we might never know what happened to her. But I can say this is a strange case. Pam was last seen on the surveillance cameras, at the front door of her home getting her mail. After that, there is no other sites of Pam going or coming. I personally feel that Jose is innocent and had nothing to do with Pam's disappearance. Jose has been investigated by police, has taken a polygraph and passed and is eager to find Pam as well. I think Pam's family needs to look into paying a visit to the White House to get answers. Pam worked for a government agency and was about to loose her job of 10 years! Something was going on in her life that nobody was aware of. The police mentioned that Pam had secured another government job but she was losing some personal propriety due to the housing market crash.

Hassani Campbell: 5 years old boy with Cerebral Palsy, Oakland, CA, Reported missing on August 10, 2009
Hassani Campbell and his newborn sister were in bad situation with their biological mother Shameka Campbell. Shameka had drug problems and CPS removed Hassani and his sister from his mother and placed them with foster parents. Hassani's Aunt (Jennifer Campbell) and fiancee (Louis Ross) went petitioned in court for Hassani and his sister to be placed in their care. So her petition was granted and according to Jennifer's former co-worker, she was very excited to have her niece and nephew in her care. She and Louis took care of the children while working and attending school. Louis was in the routine of bringing the kids to Jennifer's job (a shoe store on College Ave) everyday around 2:30pm. But on August 10, 2009, something went very wrong. Louis claimed that he parked on the side of the building, told Hassani to stand there and wait for him. Louis took the baby and walked a block to the front of the shoe store. Louis and Jennifer walked through the store to the back where Hassani was supposed to be. Hassani was gone. Louis contacted the Oakland police department to report Hassani missing. Hassani could not have walked very far because he wears a metal leg brace. The police combed the area. They searched lakes, train stations, posted flyer's and made phone calls. But the searched turned up nothing. The police began to suspect Louis and Jennifer had something to do with Hassani's disaperance. Oakland police brought the K-9 division on the scene. The K-9's never picked up Hassani's scent in the car or even in the area. Louis Ross was asked to take a polygraph test and failed. He blamed it on the fact that his mind was on finding Hassani. I don't believe that! Jennifer declined the exam because at the time she was pregnant and felt that the polygraph would harm her unborn child. Later on, the phone requested the cell phone records of Louis and Jennifer. A text message was found that brings some light to this case. Louis sent Jennifer a text message prior to Hassani's disappearance. The text message said that he was finished with her and caring for the kids. And that he was leaving Hassani on the BART ( a local train station in Oakland, CA). When the police got this information they arrested Louis Ross and Jennifer Campbell. They were released less than a month later. Double jeopardy was a risk that the Oakland Police department could not take. Since then there has been no leads in this case. Clearly, Louis had a problem with caring for Hassani and made that very clear to Jennifer. I feel that Louis and Jennifer both know what happened to him. And when TV One contacted them requesting an interview, they had both parted ways and moved out of state. They never returned the call. That sounds like guilt to me. Hassani's sister has since then been adopted by a loving family.
