The true story behind Dateline’s The Day Alissa Disappeared
The episode The Day Alissa Disappeared, airing June 13, 2025, investigates the May 17, 2001, disappearance of 17-year-old Alissa Turney from Phoenix, Arizona. Alissa, a junior at Paradise Valley High School, worked at Jack in the Box and lived with her stepfather, Michael Turney, and half-sister, Sarah.
As reported by People, Michael reported her missing, claiming she ran away to California after an argument, leaving a note. She left behind her phone, $1,800 in her bank account, and personal items, raising doubts. Initially, police treated it as a runaway case. Michael claimed a call from Alissa on May 24, 2001, from a California payphone, but no recording existed.
In 2006, a false confession by a convicted murderer prompted an investigation.
According to the People's reporting, by 2008, police suspected Michael, finding bombs and a manifesto at his home during a search. He served jail time for 7 years on explosives charges. Alissa’s sister Sarah, then 12, began advocating in 2019 via her podcast Voices for Justice, alleging Michael’s obsession with Alissa, including surveillance cameras and molestation claims.
In 2020, Michael was charged with second-degree murder. In July 2023, charges were dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Alissa’s body remains unfound, and the case remains open.
Michael had installed cameras to monitor Alissa. Her boyfriend, Jon Laakman, confirmed her California dreams. Sarah’s social media efforts led to Michael’s 2020 arrest. The episode features interviews with Detective William Andersen, James Turney, and prosecutor Vince Imbordino, detailing the 24-year mystery.
