Before we look outward, we begin close to home.

In this first episode of Missing Veil Files, we examine the disappearance of Diana Braungardt, an 18-year-old high school senior who vanished after finishing her shift at a department store in Crystal City, Missouri, on March 11, 1987.

Diana was dependable, routine-driven, and deeply loved. She told coworkers she was heading home to study — but she never arrived. More than three decades later, her case remains open, her family is gone, and the questions surrounding her disappearance remain unanswered.

Missing Veil Files is a short-form series from the Veil of Echoes podcast, dedicated to keeping names spoken when the world grows quiet.

If you have information about Diana’s case — or know of a missing person whose story deserves to be told — we invite you to reach out.

New case files are released every other Saturday.
