- Hayden Mayberry: Looking at the Discovery Site
Echo 7 Foxtrot Private Investigations and Secrets True Crime visited the location where Hayden Mayberry’s body was discovered 10 weeks after he went missing. We’ve released video footage from that trip to give listeners more perspective and information about the location where Hayden was found. The sheriff’s office has ruled Hayden’s death a suicide by hanging and he apparently used a woman’s belt and a small tree to do this. Many suspicious things about Hayden going missing and then being found in this small wooded area have come up and are covered in recent episodes of Secrets True Crime Podcast. https://youtu.be/KJcJvR-Mp1Y

She was a good person but she really struggled with addiction. At the time of her disappearance, Janell was eagerly awaiting the birth of her 1st granddaughter who was born shortly after. She now has 3 grandchildren, 2 of which she’s never had the opportunity to meet. Her daughter has a message for the person(s) responsible for her mom’s disappearance.

Brown hair, green/hazel eyes. Kegley’s hair was frosted at the time of her 1998 disappearance. She has a Caesarean section scar on her abdomen. Kegley’s ears are pierced. Details of Disappearance Kegley was last seen at the BP gasoline station near the intersection of northbound Highway 231 and Redland Road in Elmore County, Alabama during the afternoon hours of April 26, 1998. Her Geo Storm was discovered abandoned along Old Georgia Road, a secluded road in Wetumpka, Alabama, the following morning. Kegley’s two-year-old daughter had been left unattended inside the car. Kegley’s personal belongings, including her purse and identification, were recovered at the scene. She has never been heard from again. Just sixteen days prior to her disappearance, Kegley’s divorce was made final. She had separated from her husband earlier in 1998 and gone to live with her mother. She is a trained phlebotomist and had worked at the Alabama Reference Laboratory in downtown Montgomery, Alabama and Russell Medical Center in Alexander City, Alabama. Kegley had secured a new job at a dental office in Montgomery and was scheduled to start work there the day after she vanished. Kegley’s loved ones believe she met with foul play, as it is uncharacteristic of her behavior to abandon her daughter to leave the child unsupervised. Authorities unsuccessfully dragged one local flooded quarry for her body, but there were two other quarries they were unable to check. Her case remains unsolved.
