About this episode

This episode becomes available on July 22nd.

Subscribe to The Missing + to listen NOW. 


In this episode we cover the tragic story of Clarissa ‘Carrie’ Culberson, a 22 year old woman who vanished without trace from her home in Blanchester Ohio, after a night spent partying with friends in 1996. 


Carrie was murdered by her boyfriend Vincent Doan, a local man she’d been seeing on and off for two years, someone with a rap sheet longer than he was tall. We normally don’t cover murder cases on ‘The Missing’ but Carrie’s mother Deb’s decades long effort to locate her daughter’s body, means there is still very much a question mark at the heart of this case. We spoke to Deb about her decision to continue her quest for the truth, one that won’t stop until her daughter is laid properly to rest.
