Alexis Patterson: Missing Since May 3, 2002


On the brisk morning of May 3, 2002, Alexis “Lexi” Patterson, age seven, prepared for another day of first grade at Hi-Mount Boulevard School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Despite her bouncy personality, her morning had begun sourly: the night before, she’d quarreled with her mother, Ayanna Patterson, over undone homework. Her punishment was the loss of a prized privilege—bringing cupcakes to class. Dressed in a purple blouse (or maybe a striped shirt) and a bright red hooded jacket with gray stripes, she left home with a pink Barbie backpack in tow.

Vicki Sundgaard: Missing Since April 19th, 1987

Sundgaard was last seen at a party on Cedar Street in Alexandria, Minnesota during the early morning hours of April 19, 1987, Easter Sunday. She has never been heard from again. Her vehicle was found parked a few blocks away the following morning. Sundgaard's purse and asthma inhaler were inside it. Her loved ones stated her asthma had been bothering her in the days leading up to her disappearance and they did not believe she would have left her inhaler behind. She also left behind her two young sons, which is uncharacteristic of her. A week before her disappearance, Sundgaard told her sister she planned to leave her husband and move out of the area. The couple had two young sons and Sungaard stated he was violent, and she did not trust him around the children.
