Cartisha Morgan came to CrimeCon in the hopes of bringing
attention to the case of her missing daughter and young
grandchild, a toddler when she vanished. Morgan believes her
daughter Ma’Kayla Wickerson bought into the teachings of a group
that police have called a cult before disappearing with the tot
from their Missouri home.

Another family was at the event to ask to promote their campaign
for answers. Christopher Abeyta, a 7-month-old, was stolen from
his crib in Colorado Springs nearly 40 years ago. His family,
including a niece he never met, wants police to focus on a woman
who they believe may have gotten away with the crime. They hope
that person can explain what happened to baby Christopher.

The episode this week brings you a roundup of these stories and
others from the Crime Desk team at CrimeCon 2026 in Las
Vegas.
