He Walked Into the Desert. She Left Her Apartment. Neither Were Seen Again: The Disappearances of Catherine Hammel and Christopher Saunders

Send us Fan MailTwo Texans. Two timelines. Two lives vanished without a trace.In 2017, Chris Sanders walked away from his RV in Monahans, Texas, into thin air. With no ID, phone, or confirmed sightings, the 40-year-old father disappeared. Despite public appeals and tireless efforts from his family, Chris remains missing, his case as dry and vast as the West Texas land he left behind.Now rewind to 1998—Catherine Hammel, just 25 years old, was last seen at a Houston apartment complex. A mother, a daughter, a young woman full of life—gone. Her car was later found abandoned. No witnesses. No clues. And, like Chris, no trace.What happened to Chris and Catherine? Did they leave on their own? Were they silenced by someone they trusted—or a stranger passing through?Join Leah and Arlene as they examine timelines, clues, and suspects, and seek your help finding these two missing Texans. Show Notes: Missing Pieces: What Happened to Catherine Hammel?Catherine Hammel – The Charley ProjectVernon Mom Haunted by Daughter's DisappearanceMom Prays for Daughter Who Vanished in Houston 10 Women Still Unaccounted for from the '90sMother Keeps Case of Missing Daughter AliveDisappearance of Catherine HammelCatherine Hammel – The Doe NetworkChristopher Lynn Sanders – The Charley ProjectFinding Chris SandersWife of Missing Monahans Man Still Searching for AnswersTexas Man Chris Sanders Vanishes During Walk Near HomeChris Sanders: Missing in Monahans for 7 YearsFamily of Missing Daingerfield Man Clings to Hope After 4 YearsMissing Persons in Texas – A Growing CrisisBring Dogg Home – Facebook Page for Chris SandersSupport Box in the Basement & Our Causes Leon Laurales: Website & GoFundMe Follow us on Facebook & Instagram Donate to Seasons of JusticeListen to Darkcast Network Shows Join Uncovered.com Donate to Project Cold Case
