Missing Pieces

Missing Pieces, a FOX 5 True Crime/Mystery podcast, shines a light on the cases that have left us with more questions than answers. In The Mansion Murders series, we explore a story that captivated the nation in 2015, after the Savopoulos family and their housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa were brutally murdered. Then, FOX 5 reporter Bob Barnard examines the disappearance of young Maryland siblings Sarah and Jacob Hoggle, a case which has mystified and frustrated their father, police, prosecutors and the community for more than three years. FOX 5 reporter Melanie Alnwick investigated the disappearance of Alison Thresher, a Bethesda mother who vanished 18 years ago. Now, Alnwick is exploring the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Terrence Woods, a young filmmaker from Maryland who disappeared in Idaho in October 2018.
