Small Town Mysteries

The Disappearance of Melanie Metheny

Kate, Christine, and Rachael Episode 160

In the summer of 2005, Melanie Metheny’s family had a cookout. For Catherine Moles, it's a vivid memory of her niece, Melanie, then 20, doting on her three-year-old son, Ryan. Catherine remembers Melanie as "very, very watchful," and "very protective." The cookout was just a small glimpse into Melanie's world: her kids were everything to her. But little did Catherine know that the cookout would be one of the last times that she saw Melanie.
On July 19, 2006, just a year later, Melanie Metheny, at 21 years old, vanished.
