Today we bring you Five More Creepy Missing Person Cases for you to ponder.
Join us!
Let's walk and see...
This Creepy Missing Persons Cases episode will be a little different.
There are hundreds of active cases, filled with details, intricacies and lots of media coverage.
But some cases fly under the radar, cases that have just a few news articles and reports.
These are the cases that will be covered today: those who have been forgotten by the media
but never forgotten by those who love them and those who want to find them.
Number 5: Usha S Iyer
23-year-old Usha S Iyer lived with her husband,
Shankar Iyer and their newborn son in Eatontown, New Jersey.
Usha had only been living in the US for less than
12 months and was still getting used to her new surroundings.
Usha was originally from India and had married Shankar shortly before their move.
The two found out they were pregnant and Shankar ensured that he did everything
he could to provide his wife and son with everything they needed.
The two settled into the Stoneyhill Apartments on Stoneyhill Road and by the
start of December 1994, they had welcomed their firstborn child into the world.
Being a new parent is never easy but Usha took it in her stride.
Christmas came and went, but then on Boxing Day 1994, something bizarre happened.
With the holiday celebrations over,
Shankar returned to work whilst Usha stayed home with their now 19-day-old baby.
As Shankar turned his key in the door of his apartment,
he was surprised to be met with silence.
As he opened the door, he saw his 19-day-old son, unattended.
He called out for his wife and searched the apartment, but there was no sign of her.
Luckily, the child was unharmed, but there was no sign of his mother.
Sensing that something wasn’t right, Shankar picked up the phone and dialled 911.
The Eatontown Police Department responded to his call and within minutes, they had
arrived at the Stoneyhill Apartment the three shared.
Investigators dug around, looking for clues, but found nothing.
Usha’s passport, money and clothes were all left behind in the apartment,
ruling out the possibility that she had run away.
If she didn’t leave of her own volition, what happened to her?
Unfortunately, almost 30 years later, that is a question investigators are still pondering.
The Eatontown Police Department contacted Interpol and asked for their assistance in Usha’s case.
Interpol then began searching throughout India, looking for any sign of her or any clues,
but nothing ever came up. The local community rallied behind Shankar and vowed to never let
Usha’s case be forgotten. There was little media coverage of Usha’s case and Shankar
said that she knew very few people in the US. Investigators do not believe
that Usha returned to India as her passport, money and belongings had been left behind.
Those who knew Usha in India claimed to have not had any contact with her and her family is still
searching for her. There are few details about the investigation and the only mentions of Usha
are by the Charley Project, Reddit and newspaper articles. It is unknown whether there were any
signs of forced entry to the Stoneyhill Apartment or whether any forensic evidence was recovered.
Cases like Usha’s are frustrating, with a lack of detail and a lack of news coverage,
it’s hard to make a solid conclusion. The most likely theory in Usha’s case is foul
play and if that is the case, the perpetrator’s identity remains a mystery. Shankar insisted
that Usha knew very few people in the US and she had only moved there less than a year ago.
Did Usha step out of the apartment to run errands without her child and was met with foul play?
Or is the answer to Usha’s case closer to home? Usha’s child would be almost
28 years old and he is no doubt looking for his mother who loved him so much.
23-year-old Usha S Iyer was last seen on December 26th 1994 at her apartment in Stoneyhill Road,
Eatontown, New Jersey. She is described as an Asian female with brown hair, brown eyes,
5’0'' and 100 lbs. Usha has an olive-coloured mole on her left hand and has her ears pierced.
She was last seen wearing a yellow Indonesian dress or light brown Indian style pants and a
matching top with a green wool coat with blue and white stripes and white canvas shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Eatontown Police
Department at 732-389-7649 quoting case number 94-13923.
Number 4: Samantha Lee Kent
24-year-old Samantha Lee Kent was going through a hard time in her life in November 1993. Her
father had recently passed away and now, she was trying to grieve and cope with her loss.
Not many details about Samantha’s relationship with her mother are known and the Charley
Project notes that she was close to her aunt and uncle. With this support system,
Samantha was slowly getting on her feet again when tragedy would strike.
The kind and loving young woman would disappear in a flash, never to be seen again.
The last time Samantha was seen alive was on November 1st 1993 in Anchorage, Alaska.
At the time of her disappearance, she worked as a dancer at P.J’s and lived in an apartment on east
24th Street. There are next to no reports or articles about Samantha’s disappearance
and it does not appear that Anchorage was even aware that she had gone missing. It was her
landlady who reported her missing days later when she had not seen or heard from Samantha.
As her father had passed away, Samantha was waiting for a $5,000 inheritance
from her father's estate, however, she was never able to collect it. Those closest to
Samantha do not believe she ran away as she was due to collect the inheritance and was
slowly getting back on her feet following the passing of her father. The Alaska
State Troopers were informed of Samantha’s disappearance and opened their investigation.
Samantha sometimes went out of town, but always kept in contact with her family and friends.
This time, Samantha had not made contact and her family knew something was very wrong.
The Alaska State Troopers spoke to friends and family members of Samantha’s and uncovered a
disturbing clue. In the weeks before her disappearance, she talked about a trip to
Hawaii that was “being funded by a generous benefactor.” Samantha never told anyone who
this mysterious person was and she also did not tell them where in Hawaii she was heading to.
Samantha’s apartment told a different story though, at first, investigators believed she
may have been on holiday, but a forensic search of her apartment confirmed their worst fears.
Samantha’s east 24th Street apartment in Anchorage was practically untouched.
She had left behind her clothes, toothbrush, $300 and her swimming costume, something she would have
needed for the tropical beaches of Hawaii. Since that chilly November day, Samantha has never been
seen or heard from again and investigators have found themselves at a dead end. Investigators
do not believe that Samantha left of her own volition and continue their quest to find her.
Samantha Lee Kent is described as a white female with blonde hair, green eyes, 5’3'' and 105 lbs.
She has scars on her lower back with NamUS noting these were “from an attack” and a scar
on the inside of her left knee which was caused by a bullet fragment. Samantha also has a large,
flesh-coloured mole half an inch below her hairline on the left side of her forehead.

quoting case number AK22023047.
Number 3: Noel Annette Marcotte
19-year-old Noel Annette Marcotte was described as a sweet and cheerful young woman who always
made everyone smile. When not studying hard at school, Noel loved to ride horses and had amassed
hundreds of ribbons and trophies. One afternoon in March 1990 would change everything for the
Marcotte family and now, 32 years later, they are still asking, where is Noel Annette Marcotte?
On March 24th 1990, Noel and 14 of her friends ventured down to Cliff House in the Sutro Baths
area of San Francisco. The group were excited to get out and about in the warm weather and the
group hoped that they would make any memories that night. The group had opted to go out at night,
away from the gaze of their parents and others who might scorn them for their behavior.
According to Noel’s friends, she was sitting on a rock near Point Lobos Avenue.
She had noted that her shoe had become undone, but as she reached down to fix it, she lost her grip.
She was sent cascading down the rock, hitting her head on the way before landing in the ocean below.
Her friends looked on in horror as Noel was now in the water and had suffered a serious head injury.
Shouts of panic filled the air as the group ran down to the water's edge close to where Noel was.
It was too late, as they made their way down, Noel’s body floated out with the tides.
Noel had been knocked unconscious by her fall and was unable to swim to safety. Her friends were not
able to reach her in time. According to an article written by the Oakland Tribune in late March 1990,
a few of the male friends in the group jumped into the water and tried to save Noel.
One of the boys said, “I was getting beat up on the rocks, I couldn’t get to her.”
Whilst one half of the group battled with the rocks and the tide,
the other rushed for the phone and called the police and the coast guard.
Soon, the coast guard was out on their boats looking for Noel, whilst the police had the
heartbreaking task of informing Noel’s parents of the accident. When the news hit the Marcotte
family, they gathered a group of over 30 people to help in the search for Noel.
Other volunteers from the local community along with the Coast Guard and search and rescue
officers banded together to help find Noel. The groups were equipped with walkie-talkies,
binoculars, phones, helicopters, boats and even hang-gliders. Everyone in the community
pitched in one way or another and Noel’s family was overwhelmed by the support they received.
Day and night, search crews trudged through the rocks and water, hoping to find Noel,
but no sign of her has ever been found. Her father commented that not even her clothing had been
found and as the month of March came to a close, the search was officially suspended. The waters
had been 11C on the day that Noel went missing and investigators believe that she would not have been
able to withstand the cold. The prevailing theory is that Noel drowned and was taken out to sea,
but her parents are still desperately searching for her body so they can put her to rest.
Noel Annette Marcotte is described as a white female with brown hair, brown eyes, 5’2'' to
5’4'' and 110 lbs. She has a scar on the back of her head and a scar on the nape of her neck.
She was last seen wearing a white blouse with a black trim, a black leather jacket,
black jeans, white shoes and a silver ring with a dolphin on it.

Number 2: Beverly Ann Cummings
The disappearance of Beverly Ann Cummings is both shocking and perplexing. On July 18th 1990,
Beverly said goodbye to her husband, Don Cummings and their daughter Kim, telling them that she
would “be right back.” Beverly was heading to the grocery store and was going to collect the post
from the box at the post office. What should have been a quick errand run turned into Don’s
worst nightmare. Beverly got into her 1977 brown Toyota Celica hatchback and drove away from the
family home on Sixth Avenue Southwest in Federal Way, Washington for what would be the last time.
Don waved goodbye, never knowing that this would be the last time he would ever see his wife.
Hours passed and Beverly had still not returned from the post office.
According to reports, Beverly told her family that she was going to
be quick because she was supposed to be babysitting her granddaughter at 9:00 am.
It was unlike Beverly to be late or not to call if something had come up and that is when her family
knew something was very wrong. As the afternoon dragged on and there was no sign of Beverly,
her family contacted the King County Sheriff’s Office and reported her missing.
Police officers arrived at the once peaceful Cummings home and began their investigation.
Don and Kim were interviewed and they both told investigators that everything had seemed normal
that morning. Kim, Beverly’s daughter would later recall to the News Tribune “If she was
planning to run away, I would think I would hear something in her voice that morning.
Instead, it was normal; just absolutely normal.” In the same article, Don,
Beverly’s husband would state “All I can say is that when she left, she was happy.” Don also added
that Beverly was “emotionally high-risk” but refused to go into detail with the newspaper.
Investigators quickly discovered that Beverly had likely not made it to the grocery store or the
post office. Nobody in the store remembered seeing her and the family’s post hadn’t been collected.
Investigators now had to figure out what had happened to Beverly and more importantly, where.
Wide-scale searches were conducted and local residents were informed
of Beverly’s disappearance. Despite this, Beverly has never been found.
It wouldn’t be until September 1990, 2 months after Beverly disappeared
that the King County Sheriff’s Office would get their first clue.
On a forest service road 3 and a half miles from Highway 410 in Greenwater, Washington,
passersby noticed Beverly’s abandoned 1977 brown Toyota Celica. A man came forward, confessing to
officers that the car had been there since July and that he had even driven it a few times.
This small, thoughtless act potentially damaged or destroyed any DNA or physical
evidence left behind. It is unknown whether the car was processed for physical evidence.
Whilst this man was viewed as suspicious, he was quickly ruled out. Since then,
Beverly’s case has gone cold and her family has vowed to one day find out what happened to her.
Don, Beverly’s husband, said that their marriage was good and that she was happy and saw no
reason why she would want to run away. Beverly is described as a white female with brown hair, blue
eyes, 5’0'' to 5’1'' and 105 - 115 lbs. She wears pink framed glasses and also has her ears pierced.

quoting case number 90-200665.
Number 1: Kenneth Dewayne Stott
21-year-old Kenneth Dewayne Stott was last seen on September 17th 1983 in Porter Lounge, Porter,
Texas. There are very few details in Kenneth’s case and all we know is that he left Porter Lounge
in a yellow Ford Maverick with two unidentified men. According to the Charley Project, Kenneth
was on his way to Humble, Texas to buy a truck. What strikes me as odd, is that Kenneth had his
own car that he had parked in the Porter Lounge car park, so why take a ride with two strangers?
Kenneth was carrying $240 to buy the new truck, but there are no reports of robbery or seeing
Kenneth being forced into the van. When Kenneth failed to collect the new van and return home,
his mother knew something was wrong. Kenneth was punctual and respectable and would never
go away without calling home. In her search for her son, his mother came
across his abandoned car at the Porter Lounge and reported him missing on October 3rd 1983.
A search was carried out by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, but no evidence was ever found.
Many people believe that Kenneth was kidnapped for his money and that his body is somewhere
out in the wastelands. Nobody has ever come forward with a confession and until
new forensic evidence comes to light, we may likely never know what happened to Kenneth.
Some online have suggested that Kenneth may be one of the dozens of John Doe in Texas and
surrounding states, although it has not been made public whether this testing has ever taken place.
Kenneth Stott remains missing and now his family are searching for answers.
Kenneth Stott was last seen on September 17th 1983 in Porter Lounge, Porter. He is described
as a white male with blonde/strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, 5’8” to 5’11” and 145 lbs.
At the time of his disappearance, he had acne on his face and back.
He was last seen wearing a plaid shirt, blue jeans and black and white tennis shoes.

Sheriff’s Office at 936-760-5800 quoting case number 83-9745.
