161: A 15-Year-Old Girl Vanishes and the Serial Predator Living Upstairs | The Disappearance Yasmin Acree
On January 16, 2008, 15-year-old Yasmin Acree was reported missing from her home in Chicago, Illinois. The exterior gate leading directly to the basement where Yasmin's bedroom was located had its padlock cut, and the basement door appeared to have been forced open. Inside, her bed was unmade, her glasses were there and almost all of her belongings appeared untouched. Despite all of this, the Chicago police department initially classified her as a runaway before eventually changing her status to a missing person. Nearly 19 years later, Yasmin has never been found and the mystery of what happened to her still remains unanswered. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Chicago Police Department at (312) 744-8266. There is a $10,000 reward available for information.

157: A Beverly Hills Heir, a Mysterious Stranger, and a 37-Year Mystery | The Disappearance of Adam Hecht
Beverly Hills isn’t the type of place where you expect someone to disappear without a trace. In fact, there are only two people on the city’s missing persons list. One of those people is Adam Hecht, the 23-year-old son of a successful Hollywood producer who grew up surrounded by movie stars, mansions, and privilege. But by 1989, Adam had become disillusioned with that lifestyle. He was spending time with Los Angeles’ homeless population, exploring mysticism, and had invited a homeless man to live in his apartment. Then, on June 7, Adam disappeared without a trace. 37 years later, investigators still don’t know what happened to him, and his disappearance remains one of Beverly Hills’ biggest mysteries. If you have information in this case, contact the Beverly Hills Police Department’s Detective Bureau at (310) 285-2158.
