Episode 3: Bleach and Blood

Derrick Henagan’s relationship with Dyanna Maddox was stormy.

In this episode, locals tell us about “blood all over,” a run on bleach at a local market and odd findings on the floor.

And the first cop on the scene, Michigan State Police Trooper David Moeggenborg, had some baggage of his own.

A missing person flyer poster for Derrick Henagan hangs on a tree along M-135 in McMillan, Mich. On August 4, 2008, 35-year-old Derrick Henagan was reportedly last seen in these woods.
