About this episode
The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of 22-year-old Jeremiah Moneta from Ponca City, Oklahoma, and the ongoing search for answers by his family.
In mid-January 2025, 22-year-old Jeremiah Moneta disappeared from Ponca City, Oklahoma. Just months earlier, Jeremiah had moved from Kansas City, Missouri, hoping to be closer to his mother and siblings after the sudden death of his godfather. He was beginning to settle into his new life, working, saving money, and preparing to move into his own apartment. Jeremiah was also trying to meet people and build new connections in a place that was still unfamiliar. On January 17, Jeremiah’s mother, Jaimie, received a phone call from a stranger. The woman said she had found Jeremiah’s phone, inhaler, and beanie on her porch. The discovery didn’t make sense. Jeremiah never went anywhere without his inhaler. As Jaimie tried to reach her son, she realized something was wrong. Jeremiah wasn’t answering calls or texts, and he hadn’t shown up for work. When she went to his apartment, everything appeared undisturbed. His belongings were still there, including cash. There were no signs of a struggle, and nothing to suggest he had planned to leave. But as the days passed, more details began to surface. Some of them raised even more questions. More than 15 months later, Jeremiah is still missing…
