He Walked Into the Desert. She Left Her Apartment. Neither Were Seen Again: The Disappearances of Catherine Hammel and Christopher Saunders
Manage episode 474856693 series 3544247
Two Texans. Two timelines. Two lives vanished without a trace.
In 2017, Chris Sanders walked away from his RV in Monahans, Texas, into thin air. With no ID, phone, or confirmed sightings, the 40-year-old father disappeared. Despite public appeals and tireless efforts from his family, Chris remains missing, his case as dry and vast as the West Texas land he left behind.
Now rewind to 1998—Catherine Hammel, just 25 years old, was last seen at a Houston apartment complex. A mother, a daughter, a young woman full of life—gone. Her car was later found abandoned. No witnesses. No clues. And, like Chris, no trace.
What happened to Chris and Catherine? Did they leave on their own? Were they silenced by someone they trusted—or a stranger passing through?
Join Leah and Arlene as they examine timelines, clues, and suspects, and seek your help finding these two missing Texans.
