The car open, the phone inside: where is Jules?

The open car, the phone inside: where is Jules?

At three in the morning, Jenna found her sister Jules' car abandoned on a back road: the door open, the phone and wallet intact, but Jules was missing. Thirteen days later, hundreds of kilometers away, another identical car was found abandoned, with its owner also missing. What connects these two unsolved mysteries?

In this episode, we examine the disappearance of Jules Connor and Casey Monroe, two women from the same city in Indiana whose cars were found under identical circumstances. The puzzling details of each scene and the lack of coordination among authorities are scrutinized. Could this lack of communication have been crucial in the search for the "missing girls of Mishawaka"?

Key item: Jules' phone in the passenger seat
Case: Disappearance of Casey Monroe
Date: August 17, 2012

- Jules Connor's car was found with the driver's door open and her personal belongings, including her shift money, intact.
- Thirteen days later, 19-year-old Casey Monroe's car was discovered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, 500 kilometers to the north, with the door open and her personal items in the passenger seat.
- Both women were from Mishawaka, Indiana, and their disappearances occurred within a span of thirteen days in August 2012.
