Cases with Major Updates in 2023, Part Two.

As stated in part one, many cases featured on this page had major updates during the year 2023. Below is the second installment of cases this year that made progress during this past year. Here's to hoping they are resolved in 2024!

Once again, since many of you are already familiar with these cases, I provided a brief TL;DR description with each, but links to the full case write-up are there as well!

The Disappearance and Murder of Hailey Dunn. TL;DR update: During June 2023, the murder charges against Shawn Adkins were dropped without prejudice. Hailey Dunn vanished in Colorado City, Texas at the age of 13 in 2010; her remains were found in 2013. Adkins has been a suspect since Hailey's disappearance in 2010. Since the charges against him were dropped without prejudice, the State hopes to charge him again in the future.

The Disappearance and Death of Taalibah Islam. TL;DR update: Human remains were found in Fort Worth, Texas during March 2023. In June 2023, those remains were identified as that of Taalibah Islam. Taalibah originally vanished in 2006 at the age of 20. The main person of interest in the case is currently incarcerated on unrelated kidnapping charges.

The Disappearance and Death of Paige Johnson. TL;DR update: In July 2023, Jacob Bumpass was found guilty of tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse in relation to Paige Johnson's disappearance and death. Paige vanished at the age of 17 from Covington, Kentucky in 2010. Her remains were found 10 years later, in 2020. Her loved ones hope for more charges against Bumpass in the future.

The Disappearance and Murder of Suzanne Morphew. TL;DR update: The remains of Suzanne Morphew were found in Saguache County, Colorado during September 2023. She had been missing since May 10th, 2020. Her husband, Barry Morphew, was previously facing murder charges in the case, but the charges have been dropped without prejudice.

Tyreek originally vanished from Moncks Corner, South Carolina in February 2018. Although Smith is being charged with murder, Tyreek remains missing today.

UPDATE (November 2023): 

An arrest has been made in Tyreek's case. Brandon Smith (33) has been charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in relation to Tyreek's disappearance. The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office is still investigating Tyreek's case and more updates are expected.

Tyreek Pettigrew has been missing since February 21st, 2018. The then-20-year-old was last seen at a Fuel Express gas station in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Tyreek was at the gas station around 3:00 PM on the day of his disappearance. He was driving his mother’s Nissan Infiniti G35. Tyreek left the gas station after a few minutes. He never returned home and has never been seen or heard from again. After Tyreek was reported missing, investigators learned that the vehicle he was driving was spotted by surveillance cameras at 3:38 PM–just 38 minutes after his last known sighting. The car was seen at the Janki Mart on State Road-but Tyreek was not in the vehicle at the time. A different person was behind the wheel. At this time, it is unclear who was in possession of the car. During the early morning hours of February 22nd, the car Tyreek was driving was found on fire on Cainhoy Road in Charleston, South Carolina. There was no sign of Tyreek on the scene. It is unknown how the car got to said location. Tyreek’s mother believes that her son was killed, and that people know what happened but are unwilling to speak up. It’s uncharacteristic for Tyreek to stay out-of-touch with his family members. His loved ones have never believed that he is missing on his own accord. The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office is investigating Tyreek’s disappearance. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please call 843-719-4465.
