Episode 119 Audrey Herron On August 29, 2002, 32 year old nurse, Audrey Herron, left her job at the hospital in Catskill, NY and vanished without a trace. Police searched extensively for any sign of Audrey or her vehicle,  a 1994 Black, Jeep Grande Cherokee, New York license # X233UV. The first thought was that perhaps she had an accident or went off the road due to poor driving conditions, but there was no evidence to back that up, and searches of local roadways and waterways found no sign of her. Over the years, some suspicion has turned toward Audrey's husband who according to some reports, has not participated in efforts to find her. Rumors have also swirled in regards to a man with a criminal record whose mother worked with Audrey. Even the Russian mob has been thrown out as a possible theory in this case but to date, there is no evidence that points in any one direction, but police lean toward Audrey meeting with foul play.  In this episode, Mike and Alyssa of the Tragedy podcast, join us to discuss Audrey's case. They have covered it extensively on their show.   When she went missing, Audrey was described as a White female who stood 5ft tall and weighed 105 pounds.  She was believed to be wearing a blue turtleneck, dark green medical scrubs, a yellow gold necklace with a pendant reading "#1 Mom," and a watch with a White leather band and White metal face. If you have information about Audrey's case, please contact the New York State Police 518-622-8600   To listen to every episode of Missing Persons early, and ad-free, and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.  Follow us on social media; https://linktr.ee/missingpersonspodcast   ©2026 AbJack Entertainemt- All rights reserved.
