On December 5th, 2008, 20-year-old Amanda Wienckowski was driven to a house on Spring Street in Buffalo, New York, for what was supposed to be a brief visit. She left her purse, makeup bag and phone charger behind because she expected to return later that evening. But Amanda never came back. Two days later, her mother, Leslie, began searching for her and eventually spent weeks watching the house where Amanda was last known to have gone. But what happened after Amanda entered that house (and the questions surrounding the investigation that followed) would begin a fight for answers her family is still carrying nearly two decades later...

Case Uncovered is a part of the non-profit The Reignited Project. I founded The Reignited Project, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting families of the missing and murdered through advocacy, education, and resources. After walking through a missing persons case within my own family, that mission became even more personal. We are now developing the Linda Brown Advocacy Protocol, a trauma-informed initiative designed to help families navigate the early stages of a missing persons case with clarity and support.
