Laura Bradbury - Joshua Tree National Park

The date is October 18, 1984, three-and-a-half-year-old Laura Bradbury was on a camping trip with her family at the Indian Cove Campground in the Joshua Tree National Park. The Bradbury family were regular visitors to the park. Joshua tree served as a nice break for the family of five that lived nearby in a cramped two-bed condominium. Laura and her 8-year-old brother Travis went to the restroom. While Travis used the restroom, Laura waited outside for her brother to return. When Travis came out, Laura had vanished. In a desperate attempt to solve the mystery, recreations of the disappearance were played out. On this weeks episode, we will cover the timeline and details that led up to Laura's disappearance, the bizarre events that unfolded during the search, and the shocking murders that opened the door to a potential conspiracy and cover-up.
