  • MISSING E12: Missing of the Morgue
    Jul 26 2024
    Across the United States, thousands of unidentified human remains sit in local medical examiner's offices. Some of the remains are corpses - some are only bones, skeletons. In many cases, it's clear the people were murdered, but without knowing their identities their killers cannot be held accountable. Their murderers walk among us because their victims remain nameless. Eyewitness News investigative reporter Kristin Thorne works with the forensic anthropology team at the New York City Medical Examiner's Office to try to help identify the remains of a teenager who was stabbed to death, a woman who was buried in concrete, and others.

  • MISSING E11: The Guthrie Family | Part 2
    Jul 19 2024
    A non-profit from Oregon that specializes in finding missing people has come to Westchester to search for a mother and her two children who disappeared in 1977. Doug Bishop, with United Search Corps, heard about the case of Leslie Guthrie and Julie, 6, and Timmy, 3, who disappeared from Katonah 47 years ago. "Everything points to in this case it simply being an accident," Bishop said. Police said on February 5, 1977, Leslie drove away with her two children from her house in Katonah and was never seen again. Leslie's husband, Tim Guthrie, said he buckled his kids in the backseat and waved goodbye. "I helped her put the kids in the car and they drove off and that was the last I saw them," he said. "I always think of them and where they are." Bishop's theory - a theory that law enforcement has also long believed - is that Leslie's car is in one of the many bodies of water in and around Katonah.

  • MISSING E10: The Guthrie Family | Part 1
    Jul 12 2024
    On a snowy day in February 1977, Leslie Guthrie left her home in suburban New York in a car with her two small children. They were never seen again. Leslie's family says just before they disappeared, Leslie was having marital problems. Could Leslie have taken Julie, 6, and Timmy, 3, and started a new life? Could they have joined a cult -- something Leslie had been reading into? Could their car have gone off the road and sunk deep to the bottom of one of the many murky bodies of water surrounding her house in Katonah? Leslie's family and Tim Guthrie Sr., Leslie's husband, have gone in circles for 46 years trying to answer those questions. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Leslie Guthrie has a strawberry birthmark on her chin and on her back. They were last seen driving a green 1974 Ford Maverick with a white roof and the New York State license plate 636-WNA. Can Eyewitness News investigative reporter Kristin Thorne help the family zero in on one of the theories and lead them to Leslie, Julie, and Timmy? Learn more about your ad choices.
