  • How very sad

    Total 5 Star! An absolutely heartbreaking story and how eerily similar to the Nancy Guthrie disappearance. I have to wonder if officials have used the geo-fencing in the Guthrie case!!!! This story was very well done.

  • New series—

    Do we really need a new series on a case that has been reported on by every major true crime tv show and podcast. Interesting case but I’ve heard it all before.
