Dark Adaptation

In December 1910, the heiress to a perfume empire vanished from the streets of Manhattan while shopping on the illustrious Fifth Avenue. Her disappearance left the public reeling with questions and speculations, and her family’s secrecy in handling the case only served to amplify the concerns of the mystified onlookers. The family was reluctant to engage the police in their investigation into the socialite’s disappearance, which led to a rift and an apparent power struggle between the two entities. The actions of the family, investigators, and the missing socialite herself paved the way for a plethora of conspiracy theories, and to this day, the vanishing of New York City socialite Dorothy Arnold remains one of the most infamous missing person cases in American history.

There’s no evidence that she met up with anyone or that she left town on a bus or by other means, so what happened to Mekayla Bali on that sunny spring afternoon?

Betty and Peter Fabiano had turned out the lights in their home in Sun Valley, California. They had just gotten comfy in bed when they heard the doorbell ring. It was past 11 p.m., and they hadn’t had trick-or-treaters in hours. They probably looked at each other, debating who would go answer the door, when the doorbell rang again. Betty watched as Peter got out of bed and headed down the stairs. She heard him answer the door saying, “Yes? Isn’t it kind of late for this sort of thing?” She couldn’t make out the response of the person at the door – she just heard a strange voice that sounded to her like a woman impersonating a man. Suddenly, she heard a pop, then a thump, then silence. As she hurried downstairs to see what was happening, she heard a car outside speed off into the night, the screeching tires faded into the screech of her own terrified screams as she looked down at Peter, who was sprawled out on the floor, unconscious, with blood pouring out of his chest… Please rate, review, and subscribe wherever you're listening! ♥ Buy Us A Coffee ♥ Buy A Patch ♥ Follow And Message Us On Instagram ♥ Email Us Some Dark Love

Pepita Redhair was a happy, fun, sweet woman who had everything going for her. She had a loving family behind her, she was enrolled in University with dreams of becoming a teacher or an engineer; Pepita was going places. But all of that changed when she vanished in March of 2020. Her family was frantic - where did she go and why did no one seem to care? Her boyfriend was evasive (he still is to this day) and law enforcement was falling back on the horrible cliches we see far too often - "She's allowed to be missing", "she's probably out on a bender", "don't worry about it". But her family was worried. Where was their sweet girl? How can a promising young woman vanish off the face of the earth?
