In January 1996, nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted in broad daylight while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas. What followed was one of the most heartbreaking and influential child abduction cases in American history.

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, we tell the full story of Amber Hagerman — from the ordinary Saturday afternoon that turned tragic, to the unsolved investigation that still haunts law enforcement decades later. We break down the eyewitness account, the missed opportunities, the long-running cold case, and the painful truth that Amber’s killer has never been caught.

But Amber’s story didn’t end in tragedy. Her case led directly to the creation of the AMBER Alert system, a nationwide emergency alert program that has saved more than a thousand children across the United States and beyond.

This is the story of the girl behind the alert — a legacy born from loss, and a reminder that one case can change how an entire nation protects its children.

Four-year-old Rilya Wilson disappeared from Florida’s foster care system — and no one noticed for over fifteen months.

In this chilling episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, host Larry Hunter uncovers how a child under state protection vanished while caseworkers falsified reports, abuse went unchecked, and the system meant to save her became the very thing that erased her.

We examine the disturbing abuse inside the foster home, the shocking failures of the Florida Department of Children and Families, the rare no-body murder prosecution, and the reforms that followed one of the most infamous child welfare scandals in American history.

This is not just a true crime story — it’s a warning about what happens when bureaucracy replaces accountability.

In September 1984, 20-year-old mother Rowena Wilkinson Zapalac was found dead in her apartment in Flatonia, Texas. Within hours, authorities ruled her death an accident — and closed the case the very same day.

But the evidence told a different story.

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, we uncover the troubling details police ignored: signs of a violent struggle, missing evidence, contradictory autopsy findings, and biological material that suggested someone else was in the room. As Rowena’s sister Joleta Wilkinson fights for answers decades later, this case raises disturbing questions about small-town power, investigative failure, and whether justice was deliberately avoided.

We also explore a chilling possible connection to convicted serial killer Robert Charles Browne, who later claimed a murder in Flatonia during the same time period.

Was Rowena’s death staged?Who benefited from closing the case so quickly?And can modern forensics still uncover the truth?

On the night before September 11, 2001, Dr. Sneha Anne Philip was caught on surveillance cameras shopping near the World Trade Center. By morning, she was gone—and she was never seen again.

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, host Larry Hunter explores one of the most haunting mysteries connected to 9/11. Was Sneha a heroic doctor who ran toward the chaos to help the injured? Did she disappear for reasons unrelated to the attacks? Or does the truth lie somewhere in between?

We examine the final surveillance footage, the unexplained phone call, the mysterious lobby video just minutes before the first plane hit, and the legal battle that ultimately placed Sneha’s name among the official 9/11 victims. With no witnesses, no remains, and only fragments of evidence, this case continues to divide investigators, officials, and even public opinion more than two decades later.

This is a story about disappearance, identity, and how unanswered questions can echo for a lifetime.

What really happened to journalist Danny Casolaro?

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, host Larry Hunter investigates The Octopus Murders — one of the most disturbing and unresolved conspiracy cases in modern American history. Casolaro was found dead in a West Virginia hotel room in 1991, just as he claimed to be on the verge of exposing a massive network of corruption involving government agencies, stolen surveillance software (PROMIS), intelligence operations, organized crime, and international arms deals.

Officially ruled a suicide, the evidence tells a far darker story. Missing research files. Threatening phone calls. Deep, suspicious wounds. And powerful figures who may have had everything to lose if Casolaro revealed the truth.

Was Danny Casolaro silenced for uncovering the Octopus conspiracy — or was his death a tragic coincidence? This deep dive explores the facts, the unanswered questions, and why this case still haunts investigative journalism today.
