About

Missing in Minnesota is the online companion to the new best-selling true crime book – “The Girls Are Gone” – about two sisters who vanished, the father who kept searching, and the adults who conspired to keep the truth hidden.

Samantha and Gianna Rucki vanished from Lakeville, Minnesota on April 19, 2013, during a custody and divorce proceeding involving their parents.

The sisters were taken by their mother in violation of a court order.

The girls’ father, David Rucki, kept searching for his missing daughters for 944 days, until they were found by law enforcement on November 18, 2015.

Criminal charges were filed against four people, included the girls’ mother Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, related to their disappearance.

On July 28, 2016, Grazzini-Rucki was found guilty on six counts of deprivation of parental rights involving the disappearance of her daughters.

The other three people charged were convicted or pleaded guilty for their involvement in the disappearance of the Rucki sisters.

Missing in Minnesota is authored by Michael Brodkorb and Allison Mann, and provides detailed news, analysis, and commentary on the continuing developments involving this case.
