Well, I want you to look at the faces of these women.
Hundreds and hundreds of em filling the screen behind me.
What do they all have in common?
Well, they're young, all between the ages of 18 and 25.
They are daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends.
All of them are cold cases of missing women
in the United States.
This woman is Caleta White.
She was 18 years old when she went missing
on August 22nd, 2006 from Tukwila, Washington.
This is 24 year old Jennifer Kesse.
Her family has been looking for her since January 24th, 2006
when she went missing from Orlando, Florida.
And this is 20 year old Laurie Depies.
Laurie's boyfriend, Mark, says that 26 years ago
on August 19th, 1992, Laurie vanished without a trace.
Laurie and I met when we were about 15, 16 years old
and started dating four years later.
Laurie and I talked about marriage.
She was the love of my life,
but Laurie has been missing for 26 years.
She was just gone.
It was like out of nowhere.
On Sunday, August 19th, 1992.
Laurie called me from the mall at her job
and said that she'd be coming over.
Around 9:40ish, I heard her car pull up
because she had a extremely loud muffler.
They heard her car arrive.
She had a VW Rabbit that had a distinct muffler issue.
Nobody actually saw her.
After I heard Laurie drive in, I waited maybe
30 seconds or so.
I walked out onto my deck and roughly where this silver
car is here was her car.
She had a cup sitting right about here
and nothing else looked disturbed.
The one big clue was a drink container left
on the car's hood.
However, that drink never provided investigators
with any type of a link.
I called the police probably literally within 10,
15 minutes.
We were just walking all over the neighborhood
looking for her, calling her name,
walking into apartment buildings,
just looking for hours.
I remember seeing one of the police officers
open up one of the garbage cans specifically
and that's when it just really kinda threw me off
like wait a minute, they're looking for her body.

Mark says his life changed forever that night.
When the news of Laurie's disappearance hit their
small town, Mark says his community turned against him
and started pointing fingers.
It has been 26 years and Mark has never spoken out,
never given a single interview until now.
When Laurie disappeared, I knew that I would be
one of the prime suspects.
The FBI was following me around for probably
a good seven, eight months.
People in restaurants saying,
"Hey, that's the guy that killed his girlfriend."
I would get prank phone calls in the middle of the night
saying, "Honey, it's me, I'm alive, I'm OK."
I'm talking three, four o'clock in the morning,
so I would get excited and think that she's OK
and then it would be a female laughing and then,
eventually hanging up.
One day, I came home from work and there were probably
eight or nine MISSING flyers plastered to my door
with, "I raped her, I tortured her,"
all kinds of really vulgar things.
Then, a week or so after she had gone missing,
Mary, her mother, happened to be there
and in front of a room full of people,
she stuck her finger in my face and said,
"This is all your (beep) fault.
"My daughter would be here if it wasn't for you."
Her finger was probably about this close to my face.
She was coming forward like that and she was spewing
it out like venom.
It was very shocking.
It affected me very badly.
I know I self medicated a lot.
I started drinking a lot.
I was a wreck.
