Alana Carroll

About this episode

32-year-old Alana Carroll was last seen by her family on August 15, 2023. It was typical for Alana to check in with her family frequently, so they became increasingly concerned when several days passed without any communication from her. Her grandmother, Joyce, ultimately decided to report Alana missing to the Clark County Sheriff's Office. 

Witnesses later reported seeing Alana at a property she often visited in Battle Ground, Washington, but the timing of these sightings was unclear. There were also unverified claims from others who said they had seen Alana after that date. As rumors began to circulate, unsettling stories about Alana's disappearance spread, leaving her loved ones unsure of what to believe.

Nearly a year later, news emerged about a person of interest in the case, but was this case closed or just another story?

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Alana Carroll, please contact Detective Arvizo with the Clark County Sheriff's Office at 564-397-2028.
